Cafes near Halethorpe

“Park Avenue Cafe is a great spot for a quick and tasty breakfast or lunch. The food is well-prepared, the service is friendly, and the prices are affordable. Try their Shrimp Salad sandwich! Highly recommended for a satisfying and budget-friendly meal.“

“I love this place because of the great menu. I am lactose intolerant but eat meat. There are few places that allow you to customize items to cater both of things (generally, if places have this many alternative milk and cheeses, they are vegan - which can be great to be fair. Many places have no alternative milk for coffee). I only go during off hours though, their busy hours are too intense for me (but that’s unavoidable because they are so popular).

I have taken a star off service for the manager and owner, because they took away required tipping (this was implemented during covid) and then told me that since ppl complained about it, this was “more democratic” . It was a really stupid excuse that was worded to appeal to my (assumed) politics. I KNOW your staff isn’t getting paid enough, this decision is cruel. Red Emma’s can afford to include required tips with orders, why can’t you?“

“I recently read an article that said the best bakery in Maryland is Ovenbird. They are wrong. IT IS THIS PLACE. Fantastic bakery -- the croissants are fabulous. If I had to critique the place it would be they need a 2nd barista, or a cheap intercom system. The tiny place only holds 6 people (and a dog!) and 5 of those are standing around waiting for their coffee.“

“Absolutely love this place! We tried the AOA and MangO’s bingsoo as well as Mango milk tea with crystal boba and Strawberry milk tea with crystal boba and next time we can’t wait to try the taiyaki. Perfect if you already love bingsoo or want to try something new. And the base for the aoa is gluten free and made with oatmilk so there’s even options for people with dietary restrictions. Keep up the good work! 💕💕“

“just shared an amazing delicious lunch at this adorable cafe!! vegetarian lasagna and turkey meatball sub with the best handout fries!!! Definitely worth a visit!“

“Good and not expensive like the food trucks that come around“

“This place is amazing. Their empanadas are absolutely the best in Maryland. Their Dominican steak bowl is AMAZING. The Korean bbq steak bowl… AMAZING!! My only complaint is their steak sub. While it was TOTALLY delicious, it was very small for $12. It was sooo good I wanted more.“

“My husband and I made a wrong turn a few weeks back and happened to see this place called blendabowl. The following wk we decided to try them out and we are completely addicted!! The quality in the taste and freshness of the bowl we get exceeded our expectations. We get blue crush with shaved almonds granola blueberries bananas and Nutella def a must try😋 The place is always clean and the staff is excellent as well as management!! Enrique definitely runs a great establishment and if you have never tried blendabowl you are missing out. We have been every day they are open since the 1st time (literally) and continue to do so☺ Mikie&Lisa“

“Very swanky coffee and tea shop. The instrumental music and hip patrons made the vibes. I ordered the classico vegano with vegan sausage on ciabatta and a matcha oat latte. The matcha oat latte had just enough sweetener (you have to ask for it). The classico vegano was good as well. The staff was very delightful and pleasant. They knew their customers and although they had a rush they handled it with ease and remained calm and pleasant. The price was reasonable for what I received and to have the opportunity to dine-in. Overall, this is a great place to visit alone or couples for a nice cup of java or tea.“

“The food presentation is gorgeous. Each item really tastes like the recipe was meticulously created to optimized the flavor and texture of each ingredient. The bulgogi melt absolutely shook me to the core with the level of depth of just a few ingredients, if you were to only try one thing on the menu definitely go for this one. I’ve been overseas and had similar items and was surprised with how much the food quality reminded me of cafes in New Zealand or Germany. The chef also came out to ask about the food, he was kind and friendly to talk to. There are limited seats so be prepared by ordering online or for pick up, it’s quite well worth it.“

“Food was great, service was fast, and lots of gluten free options! We will def be back!! Thanks!“

“Been going to Sweet 27 for probably 12 years. My grandson is 6, this is his favorite spot. Friendly staff and great food.“

“Best chicken salad sandwich I’ve ever had!“

“Outstanding food and great service. The Squirrel coffee is about as good as it gets. I see all these one star reviews and shake my head. Just because you have a not so perfect interaction with one employee the establishment does NOT deserve a 1 start review. That’s not how reviews work. Especially when you too are a small business owner. I’ll head over to review that business owners location next and maybe use the same 1 or 5 stars only philosophy. Let’s hope your business is flawless or you will also get 1 star.“

“Very good place. I generally prefer smaller owner operated establishments to big national or international chains. It always feels better to spend your money with them and when the overall experience is as rewarding as it is here it’s extra good!! Props to Spoons, they ace it“

“Randomly ordered this morning through DoorDash, and I found this place. what a gem. The food was absolutely amazing and super quick delivery into the city. sandwiches were still hot and gooey. So thankful they are not right down the street for me as I would probably give them all my money. keep up the good work.“

“This is an absolutely delightful place. It has indoor and outdoor seating with a very cozy atmosphere. The food was very good and the service very pleasant. The buttermilk biscuits sound simple, but they’re a delicious and filling option if you’re looking for something that’s not too sweet. The neighborhood (36th St) offers a lot of interesting places to check out, too.“

“A huge thank you to the folks at One World Cafe for coming to the Hopkins football tailgate crepe tent rescue. We discovered post game when it was time to start cooking for the team that we left our cooler of eggs and milk on the 7th floor of the Marriott parking garage. We had all the toppings but no crepe ingredients! Remembering all the great breakfasts I have had at One World (as a regular customer we have always received stellar service and food) I dashed across the street to see if they could spare some eggs and milk. Everyone was so friendly and kind and happy to help and saved the day with 8 eggs and a gallon of milk! Thank you so very much. Your kindness was much appreciated and helped our team celebrate our win! 5 stars for quality service and kindness and generosity as a bonus!“

“Always great crabs 🦀 at B&B !“

“such an amazing experience, some dishes are served in a tea pot, tea and dessert are amazing. One of my favorite places to order food from and to dine in person. My favorite afghan spot in the city! they also sell rugs and tea sets which adds to the atmosphere“

“As soon as my wife and I walked in, we were greeted with a smile. The VIBE is amazing. Steffon then seated us and took our drink orders. I had the Cadillac on 22's (just woke up from nap lol) and my wife loved her drink 🍸 and she normally does not drink alcohol.

Now for the food 🔥🔥🔥🔥 🔥Chef Heather is amazing. The Brown Sugar French Toast, Espresso Rub Wings and country potatoes (Party time for your taste buds), Salmon with Fried grits & cheese...ALL DELICIOUS.

We will be back and bringing FAMILY & FRIENDS...#AdventuresofTnJ #TTC4LIFE“

“Great chicken salad sandwich! One sandwich was enough for two meals, thanks and keep up the great work!“

“Everything is fantastic! From breakfast sandwiches (and plates) to lunch specials. The food tastes great, you are usually in and out very quickly, and they have fantastic memories and will greet you by name. I ended up with Covid, my last day of work was Nov 17th, and I did not come back until Jan 4th. They still remembered my order! "I" didn't even remember it!!! Always excellent. Highly recommend.“

“Beautiful boutique hotel with friendly staff. Check out the Speak Easy and rooftop restaurant. Mt Vernon park is just across the street and Mt Vernon marketplace is just 2 blocks away.“

“beautiful space, delicious eats, i love that you can get coffee or alcohol, depending on your mood“

“Our Mens Ministry had a fellowship breakfast earlier this month and we were beyond satisfied. The food, drinks and service was exceptional! We will continue to have our monthly fellowship here as long as they’ll allow. Speaking for the men who attended, we HIGHLY recommend this business and we’ve recommended it to other groups, family and friends.…“

“Best catfish and Mac and cheese I have had in years. Very friendly service“

“Stopped here for breakfast, food was good!“

“Hard to find any faults here! Super popular for good reason. We got there around 9:30 and were anticipating a wait, but we were seated within a few minutes. It’s a big space, but not too noisy. The food was incredible! I don’t think you can go wrong. I’d for sure go again and again!“

“The lemonade is so delicious. This place is so cute and cozy. I recommend this place“

“I recently moved offices from DC to Baltimore and needed place for coffee in the morning. This charming little shop has easily become my go-to. The standard drip coffee is exactly what I want and so much better than Dunkin or Starbucks. This place is a gem and deserves all the hype!“

“Love this place! I spent the night in Baltimore after an Orioles game JUST so I could eat here in the morning.
Our server (im mad I forgot his name) provided some of THE BEST customer service I've had in a long time.
Food is exceptional!“

“Love these sandwiches. The firecracker club is my favorite!!! This place uses top quality ingredients, good portions, everything is fresh and delicious. It’s a little pricey, but WELL worth it. I’d rather pay $11 for an out of this world sandwich here than $8 or 9 for a disappointing sandwich almost everywhere else.“

“I got the delicious gluten free corn cakes with a fried egg and bacon. It was $20 but it was good, there was a nice outdoor seating area of 4 tables, it was a cute neighborhood, and I found parking. They also have gluten free bagels, buns, and their home fries look bomb, I'm going to try those next time.“

“Because I was in a big big hurry, the Guy behind suggested a list of items that will be quicker to make. I chose Pork Buns. Omg. They r really good. If you’re on the run as much as I am, great food to get“

“Let me tell you something—Water for Chocolate is an experience, not just a restaurant. Chef Sean Guy and his team pulled off something truly exceptional when they welcomed our party of over 50 guests into their cozy space and delivered service that was nothing short of flawless. Every plate, every pour, every bite—handled with heart, hustle, and hospitality. We literally ordered everything on the menu. Gluten-free? Covered. Vegetarian? Delicious. Carnivore? Oh, you’re in for a treat. Chef Sean didn't miss a beat. His kitchen was in perfect rhythm, delivering impeccable flavor with every dish. You could taste the love and precision in every bite. If you're going, do yourself a favor—get the Chipotle Salmon and ask for extra sauce on the rice. Trust me, that flavor combo is a game-changer. But honestly, you can't go wrong with anything on the menu. Every dish tells a story, and every bite feels like home. This spot is 5 stars, chef approved. Chef Sean Guy is a culinary conductor and Water for Chocolate is his symphony. Put this place on your must-dine list—you'll walk out inspired, satisfied, and already planning your next visit.“

“This is my new favorite place to eat in Ellicott City! First of all the food is incredible. The garlic sauce we ordered as an appetizer alone would have satisfied me but the food just keep getting better. So fresh and so flavorful!! The owner introduced himself and made us feel so welcome. Their story is incredible! The ambiance was absolutely lovely. They had live musicians who were extremely talented and added a tone that was fun and enjoyable but not at all overwhelming or too loud. The service was impeccable. I cannot recommend enough! We will definitely be going back very soon!“

“Cute little diner. Friendly Staff. Good prices. Breakfast sandwiches were made fast and pretty tasty for how simple they were made. The fresh watermelon was cut onsite. Lots of drink options at reasonable prices. Overall a good place for a quick cheap meal and definitely better than most places around the hospital.“

“When we lived in Maryland I bought all of our coffee from High Grounds. I have now moved to Georgia and wouldn't consider changing my coffee source. The main reason that one would go to a coffee roaster for the 2nd, 3rd or 99th time would be for the quality of the coffee, and any one who would rate High Grounds less than 5 star“

“Awesome place with the best breakfast and lunch food around!!“

“You’ll never leave let down or hungry when you’re experiencing an authentic Italian Meal at Vinny’s Italian Cafe in Baltimore. This extremely passionate Family serves up an all scratch cucina of tasty treasures from land and sea. At Vinny’s you’ll always be spoiled like Familia! #Killerfoodies #Ladolcevita“

“Good place to stop by whenever I'm in town“

“I eat here every time I visit the area.“

“I come here every now and then and i must say out of all the cafes with baked goods in baltimore. This cute cafe tucked away in the ambassador apartments has the best savory breakfast pastries. There cakes and sweet pastries are phenomenal as well. The matcha cheesecake is bar none. And the coffee is solid too. I have no idea why anyone would ever choose to go to a chain like starbucks. Support your local economy.“

“Tasty coffee and food items, the best bagels! Friendly and helpful baristas, chill vibe, & local-focused. Enjoy coming here as often as I can!“

“The Customer Service here is by far the best I’ve seen especially in the Baltimore city, the lady working the cash register is super nice and I came there yesterday and purchased five London brew sandwiches and forgot my credit card, I called the following day and she had it saved and ready and expecting for my call, I came in. She had it ready in a bag and was super nice. I can’t wait to go back get some food and say hi to her again.

I’ll get your name next time

But I hope you get this review thank you so much !!!!“

“Just tried this place and was surprised. The food is plentiful for what you pay and very yummy. I get their western omelette and have gotten their breakfast bagels pretty often…maybe too often haha. Definitely give this place a try!!! Everyone in there is also super nice. Thank you!“

“We enjoyed our tea and sandwiches, but unfortunately they were out of the vegan mayo (I’m allergic to raw eggs). When it came to the scones we were deeply disappointed! They were dry and crunchy! When I brought them back they apologized and said they would make fresh ones. We sat down and chatted enjoying our teas. When we realized it had gone a long time, I went back to the counter and asked. They looked sheepishly as they realize they forgot them in the oven and they were even crunchier. So they promised they would make a new batch, a THIRD batch for us. When they finally arrived. They were hot a little bit crunchy, but the texture was very strange. It was not like any other scones I’ve ever had before. I have been to Emma‘s before, I’ve been to other tea room, I have had scones in Europe, I have made scones myself, but these were strange… we figured that these had been baked in an air fryer because the texture was so strange. So the scones were big let down, especially since we had to pay separately for the clotted cream and the jam that was an almost another $12 just for that. I will never have scones here again.“
