Dessert First: Dockside Coffee and Dessert Bar

Lots of selections. We had the tres leches and eclair, both very good. The espresso martini was something I would skip if going again.

I got a matcha iced latte yesterday and it tasted more milk than matcha. Today I returned and got the Catch of the day decaf and it was much better than the matcha. The Smores cheesecake was to delicious. Nice crust. Love being able to sit by the water and enjoy my drink.

Delicious desserts along the water. They offer many gluten free options as well. The pastries tasted amazing, fresh and full of flavor. The chai latte was also good.

Their pastries are delicious and beautifully made. Views of the water made it even better. The staff was super friendly. Highly recommend stopping by for a sweet treat!

Just the perfect way to start and end your day- breakfast sandwiches and pastries and fantastic coffee drinks and desserts!

I'm disabled, love coffee and was looking forward to coffee and breakfast here. My daughter was attempting to situate a table for me because the table was shaky when a rather rude employee approached us, not asking if she could help but insisted on telling us that no more than 4 could sit on a dockside table and walked away.
No consideration to my limitations!!
Across from us was a group of 5.
We're of ethnic decent and felt like we were unfairly treated.
Disappointed but my money will be spent elsewhere!!!

Lots of options of different things to choose from. Coffee choices rank from mild to wild. The cold brew I had was one of the best I’ve had anywhere.

This is a great coffee shop and dessert bar; however, I would not recommend trying to work from here. We love to support local but our attempt to work from here was short lived. We were not allowed to use any of their 10 empty power outlets even though the restaurant was mostly empty. When we asked why they said it’s reserved for when they use lights. We bought multiple coffees and breakfast and were hoping to spend the whole day there with additional food and drink orders. Instead we had to leave and head to a Starbucks. Their WiFi connection was also spotty and cut twice in an hour, but understandable given the location.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Amazing Coffee, Even Better People

Dessert First serves some of the best coffee around perfectly brewed, smooth, and consistently excellent. But what really sets them apart is the team. Everyone who works there is smart, friendly, and genuinely cares about your experience. It’s the kind of place where the coffee’s great, and the people make it even better.

Amazing pastries and excellent coffee with a surprisingly cool waterside seating are tucked between commercial fishing businesses.

This coffee shop near the Chesapeake Bay Bridge is such a great find. It sits right by the water, and you can either relax inside with the windows wide open or head out to the back deck to soak in the view. The scenery is beautiful with boats passing by and the breeze coming off the Bay. It is just a really peaceful spot.

They had a nice variety of coffees to choose from and a great selection of pastries too. It looked like the perfect place to kick back with a drink, enjoy the atmosphere, and just take a breather. Definitely a spot I would come back to if I am in the area again.

Super cute place to get a coffee and dessert after gorging on crab next door!

Their delicious tres leches cake has a layer of strawberry in between, and their strawberry tart is great, too! Everything came out super quick and their cold brew is smooth and powerful.
