“Our family of six enjoyed a delicious and beautifully prepared dinner at Cafe Campli recently. Every dish was intentional and on-point - created and presented with a lot of love, care, and attention to detail - and, looking appetizing and ready-to-eat rather than over-stylized. The flavors impressed! In every meal, the ingredients were fresh and high quality, and the flavors superb. The house-made pastas and sauces were exceptional - creatively prepared and perfectly approachable. I particularly enjoyed the chickpea fritters appetizer; but the burrata was equally impressive. The accompaniments to the meal - roasted carrots, broccolini, and salads - were at the peak of freshness and flavor - served at absolutely the right temperature and doneness and dressed masterfully to accentuate the quality of the vegetables. And, the desserts! I will be back! My affogato was served exactly as it should be - a rich, aromatic double espresso poured over a generous serving of salted caramel gelato in a clear glass cup. The aromas and tastes of both the espresso and gelato, as well as the integrity of the scoops of gelato, "held" until the very last sip of this very special dessert drink. One of the best, if not the best, espressos I have enjoyed at a restaurant. The other desserts were just as remarkable. Serving the cannoli on an extra "little pillow" of cannoli cream was absolutely the right touch - luxurious and special. The limoncello cake and the bomboloni were equally impressive. Our server made us feel immediately at home and took very good care of us throughout the meal. Thank you, thank you! I loved the laid back vibe and intimacy of the cafe, which allowed for an amazing dining experience without fussiness and unnecessary fanfare. Some truly lovely wines, cocktails, mocktails, beers, and 0-proof creations, as well. Thank you, Cafe Campli, for putting people first and preparing all your dishes with such love! A+++. 100%. I can't wait to come back! NancyVegetarian options: Three of the six main dishes ordered by my family were vegetarian and fabulous. Homemade pastas and sauces; risotto; vegetables at the peak of freshness; salads; fresh breads; excellent vegetarian appetizers; and, creatively prepared vegetarian accompaniments.“
“One of the best coffee spots in Fed Hill. The coffee quality is excellent and it's always fun to see if you get your color right. Service is excellent and always friendly. Inside is nice and they also have some outdoor seating. They always have the cutest seasonal options and the pastries are great to snack on. I recently tried their Cinnabun syrup in my coffee and it was a game changer. Be sure to check them out if you're around!“
“Not only is a really cute and quaint establishment with delicious dessert, but the owners are the sweetest!! The ice cream itself is quite delightful and the waffles are soft, yet crispy and the extra surprise that you get when you bite into each of the bubbles depending on what filling you get inside is what makes it such a unique dessert! Definitely recommend going there for any occasion, whether it be for a night out, a date, or just craving something sweet! Also an amazing choice to hire for your party!!“
“This pour over was so fun. I did a custom Guatemalan with a chocolate stuffed donut and the way the flavors evolved as the drink cooled was really great. The staff were friendly and the other guests even recommended some other local spots that we loved. They very obviously care about quality and have spent time figuring out their brew. Would love to see some extra seating aside from the bar area for study or work, but it doesn't take away from what was an incredible cup of coffee (the donut was also remarkably great but definitely overshadowed by such interesting and well brewed coffee).“
“Let me just tell you - amazing! I had the butter pecan because that's my thing and it was so good. If you like ice cream and donuts then this is the place for you. Tons of flavors/toppings to choose from. The store is nicely decorated and the employees were very professional and friendly. They used clean gloves when assembling your chimney cake - which is important to me. My kids had the oreo which was great and hubby loved the banana pudding.“

“Went to Kokee for the first time because of Major Def's fundraiser. The workers were so nice and patient even though I didn't know what to order. Ended up getting the Brown Sugar Dalgonatte and it was so tasty, will be going back again!“
“This was our first time coming in and we really enjoyed our food. We got chicken and waffles, a classic crepe, and an egg and cheese crepe.The chicken was especially good!Staff was also super nice. There's a little coffee bar off to the side with sugar and different flavored creamers. I asked if they had just regular milk and they were able to give me some which was much appreciated.Definitely will be back.“
“I went here on a Sunday around 3:30 and there was a small crowd. We were able to get our items quickly after we ordered though it took a little while to order. There is a window that you order from and there is one cashier to take the order. The customer service was great. I was able to try the ice cone flavors. There were so many flavors and combination of flavors to choose from. They also had other treats like benigets, brownies, and cakes. They had Takhara brothers ice cream and I'm a huge fan of their ice cream, so I was excited to get the key lime, but it head run out. The clerk offered me other options and told me about the mango, guava, pineapple ice topped with fruit, so I decided to try it. I am so glad that I did. It was really flavorful and refreshing. There was cute outdoor seating that was well maintained. I will most definitely come back here.“
“It's still really cool inside, booth style Markets. Many little tightly wound eating spots squished into a smaller space. Takes you back years . A neat own version of cross street market, Broadway Market etc.Parking: Parking is free on the lot. But however 2 hr time limit is enforced“
“Really great service, a hipster vibe with tunes from late 80s to 2000s, and great coffee and food. Kid friendly.Kid-friendliness: Chill place where the staff know how to interact with kids. Not a "kid" place, but easy to dine in with our 2 and 9 year olds“
“This place was on my try-list for a long time and I'm so glad I came! I came here after I finished an exam following a stressful start to my week. The place immediately made my day! Bryan took my order at the register, and he had the most welcoming warm and positive energy. The place itself is small, but it is so cozy and charming. I ordered a BYOBreaky with sourdough, a runny egg, bacon, and veggies - it was absolutely delicious. I also got a Split and Griddled muffin at Bryan's suggestion and loved it. My "You're my Best Friend" drink was also great and the perfect temperature. I look forward to coming again soon!“
“We love this place, we started coming since they opened, we used to go to café EZ 1 in Ellicott City, but we like this one better as has more space and more tables. All servers, and personnel are polite, always with good vibe. Food is great, they have a lot of options available. We like to come for Breakfast, Brunch or Lunch. But this place has all day Breakfast options. So, if you are like me, you can enjoy a great selection of pancakes at noon ?.The only thing we don't like much are the prices, but everything is expensive nowadays, right? So, I don't blame this place for rising their prices as food is 98% of the times delicious. Coffee is also great, kind of the same price as Starbucks :( but is good coffee. They have also smoothies which are also delicious and other "adult" drinks for a happy hour... Burgers, salads, wraps, all I've tried here has been if not delicious, great or good. We have never experienced any bad time.Just the heads-up, this place can be crowded, so expect some waiting time at lunch or around 9-10 for breakfast during weekends. ?Vegetarian options: Crepes, salads, etc. Vegan options as well.Parking: Plenty of parking“
“Staff is super sweet, the passion fruit green tea is delicious! Their milk teas are also great to try! Also if you get to nervous to order to the cashier they have 2 kiosks inside where you can play around with what you'd like in your drink.“
“Great place for pizza pickup. We ordered the spicy pepperoni, chicken, and half and half for take away. All were fantastic. The crust is a highlight, perfect mix of crispy, chewy, and char that rivals the best crust in the city. The pizza is pricy but well worth the cost.“
“This was the best food I have eaten in Baltimore in a long time! Absolutely authentic Greek Cuisine. Simple delicious salads Excellent octopus Great kabobs and tzatziki Friendly service. I just can’t say enough positive things about this place!“
“1:39 4 ..ll 5G§ 83 < Reviews Koba Café First coffee shop of 2023! Koba is a cozy shop on the corner. The young lady at the counter was friendly. She was familiar with the two customers in front of me. It definitely had a neighborhood friendly vibe. The shop was busy. Most of the tables on the first floor were taken up when I was there. Be sure to take a stroll up the stairs. At the top of the stairs was an adorable little spot for two people to sit and chat. The second floor has a great little area to sit and ready or study. The top floor was full of light. I ordered my usual cortado. It was a solid drink. The cortado wasn't bad but it also wasn't anything spectacular to write home about.“
“Love this old town Ellicott city Café. It’s filled with characters and chill vibes.Even though it’s located on the edge of the old town. It does not make parking any easier. They do have their own little parking lot. However, given the amount of customers they have on daily base. This little parking lot is filled up fairly quick. Most of the time we have to look for parking on the side streetsThey have an extensive menu for sandwiches and coffee drinks. Also fresh pastries in the bakery displays. Tasty coffee, chai, & more.Friendly and efficient services.The favorite seats for most will be the ones close to the window. Just perfect… ☕️?Highly recommended by @winedinenvacay“
“The staff here is so kind, they have a really open space but few tables. The gelato is delicious however a regular (smallest size available) is a $7.50 which is a bit pricey for me. The location is ideal and they are open later on the weekends which a bonus.“
“Amazing family run business. They are always so kind and helpful.The sweet smell of sugary delicacies hits you as soon as you walk in.Everything they sell taste fresh and delicious. Tried a cronut today and would recommend it!Parking lot and establishment is kind of small.“
“Emma was so kind and helpful! I messed up the Groupon voucher I bought to her shop, and she still honored it. My friend and I had a delicious meal and enjoyed spending our time there. I look forward to going back with more friends! Highly recommend stopping in.Dietary restrictions: Gluten free options available“
“I have been here a few times to work (wifi is great here!) and I really enjoy it! If you like cozy cafes, this should be on your list! Service is pretty good, sometimes people seem a little out of it but we're all human! The food is decent here (croissants muffins and what not), but the coffees/ drinks are where they shine the most! Not pictured is their amazing brown sugar espresso-- it was so good I ended up drinking it all before I could get a photo! Go order it-- asap you won't regret it!!Their cold brew is good- and strong! I added protein shake I brought with me for the day and they were great together. I love supporting black owned businesses and this place has a little something for everyone, so if you're in the area I'd defintely recommend.“
“The pastries all look so incredible but be prepared to pay quite a bit for them. The coffee and drinks are more reasonably priced so I’d recommend going there and just getting drinks and maybe splitting one of their pastries. They had a fair crowd on a Sunday morning but didn’t take too long to get our food and drinks. I see this more of a special occasion or date spot.“
“Have always loved this place! Great vibe, great coffee, and now also some good food! It was really bustling the most recent time I went, much more so than earlier when it opened in the pandemic, and also seems to have much more indoor and outdoor seating space than it used to have. I also love browsing among the items they sell - super interesting!!“
“Where We Bout To Eat AtTucked away down about 7 steps is @sophomorecoffeeWith great hot and cold beverages, tasty treats, and excellent customer service, there’s no better way to start your day!Check them out!!!#baltimorecoffee #baltimorecoffeeshops #baltimorelatte #coffeelovers #itsdgl #danigirlliving #boujiebudgetblogger #sipslow“
“Major props for treating gluten free bread as the half-sized slices they are. This is the first place I've been to that spreads the sandwich contents across two small sandwiches. Every other place either attempts to stuff the insides onto puny slices (rarely) or more likely, simply gives you less. In those places, not only are you paying through the nose for GF bread, but you then get less food for the privilege. NOT SO at Atwater's. On top of delicious creations, you also get generous servings and can enjoy your meal like anyone else. Coincidentally had two meals in 3 days here and will be back!Dietary restrictions: GF“
“My friends and I love Ocha Mocha! The vibes of the place are so good, and they play the most interesting music! It's a versatile place; you can go with friends and hangout, or go alone and get some work done. The staff are all friendly, coffee is great, and the food is pretty good, too. My go to oder is an Iced Ocha Mocha with almond milk. It never misses! Parking can be tricky, but there is a lot you can pay to park in if you are not able to park on the street.The only downside was that our food did take about 20 minutes because they had forgotten about it. It was worth the wait, though!“
“They never disappoint. A chill vibe with delicious food.Dietary restrictions: Im non dairy and vegetarian they had more than a few options to choose from.Kid-friendliness: I came with two toddlers and a preteen and they both enjoyed the food and atmosphere.“
“I have loved every tea from Wight Tea Company, from their loose leaf to their matcha. Brittany is friendly and communicative, and when I ordered matcha for the first time I even got a discount card. I always enjoy shopping local and plan to continue buying my tea from this team. :)“
“Georgia Grace Cafe is 5/5 in every way! Everything I’ve had there is absolutely delicious and you can just taste how fresh everything is. The atmosphere is super cute and matches the vibe of Historic Ellicott City perfectly. If you’re looking for a healthy breakfast or lunch, GG is the way to go!“
“Stumbled upon this shop after leaving the nail salon and so glad I did. I almost didn't want to write this review to keep this place to myself. It's a small and quiet coffee shop, which is exactly what I was looking for. It also has lots of plant supplies and plants. I'm not sure if the person working that day was the owner, he was very friendly and knowledgeable about the products offered. He was patient with me as I decided on what to order and informed me that the coffee I chose was from Nepal. While I spent some time working, a few frequent customers came in and I only know this because the employee remembered their orders. There was also someone who came in about an issue they had with a product from the store and he exchanged it with no questions/charge. Bonus points for parking being easily available! I look forward to visiting again!“
“The cutest cafe in Mount Vernon! That lavender cardamom latte w/oatmilk was so nice I had to have it twice! The atmosphere is so inviting & laid back totally reminds me of being in a cafe in the west village in Manhattan. Get over there & get you some. I highly recommend this quaint cool spot!“
“A little disappointed this time around.I ordered the Brie and ham cheese and a latte. Their coffee hits the spot every time. But I just paid $9 for something a mom makes for her kids lunch. (I mean no offense)And the amount of Brie is very little, at least spread it around.I also waited like, 10min after ordering for “the bread to be toasted”. My sandwich did not see an oven, it’s straight out of the bread bag.Sauce was good, but overall meh. Not worth $9.I’ll continue to come here for coffee, latte was awesome.Update 2/18/24:Coffee is perfect as usual, got the hot honey chicken sandwich which is pretty good. Wish there was a bit more honey or more spice to it but nonetheless it’s good.Owners were quick to the draw to help me figure out what to do about my last order, and I am super appreciative of them.“
“Great place with awesome food! The pizzas were absolutely delicious!! My co-workers & I super enjoyed it & the pizzas were only five dollars! What a steal. Thank you.Parking: Right across from courthouse & sits on a big open lot for plenty of space for parking.“
“I come here for taiyaki! Their oreo and cannoli cream one are so good. They even serve boba tea! Dairy and non dairy. The young lady in there is very friendly and helpful. She has successfully helped me try new things and explained them to me every time I go.“
“I truly enjoyed my morning pit stop here before work. The staff is always extremely helpful and friendly, the atmosphere is relaxing and the food was good.I'll certainly be back for another coffee with mocha and toasted marshmallow.Dietary restrictions: Dairy and Gluten free options available“
“Best Cafe in Baltimore! We've tried dozens around the area and none compare we come almost every weekend because it's so good. Their season menu items are always phenomenal! The bakery items are also great. Can't recommend enough!“

“This is the first coffee shop I’ve been to thats given me my coffee in an actual cup (as opposed to a to-go cup) in what feels like years. I forgot how nice that is, and was reminded the second they brought it to me lol. All in all the coffee was good, the music is a really nice volume and is good music, its not super crowded. I will come back!“
“Great space to hang out and the best coffee in the area. If you are really into coffee, buying freshly roasted beans here is the way to go. They also have a good food and pastry selection to boot.Kid-friendliness: High chairs and boosters available. Very family friendly staff.“
“Love the ambience in the morning! Delicious food! I loved the avocado toast! With a side of bacon!! Kate was the best with her recommendations of chocolate latte! And the donuts and croissants were fabulous!!! Paired with a chocolate martini!!! Good morning Baltimore!!!! Fabulous customer service!!“
“One of my favorite coffee brands period. I LOVE Ceremony Coffee. Their Thesis, Antithesis, and Mass Appeal blends — YES. I enjoy coming here to enjoy an iced Mocha latte with Almond milk. I’ve heard excellent things about their pour overs, although I’ve not tried it myself. Their pastries are also quite tasty. They host fun events like latte art showdowns, sensory experiences, and the like.“
“This is my third time at Pie Time! We moved to the area in January of this year, and so far I have tried a few gems here! The mini Chicken Pot Pie was super good, very savory stuffed with fresh herbs! My partner tried the carne asada pie which he crushed(I assume it was great!) I have tried a regular latte which was pretty good, but the pies are definitely the best thing here! Highly recommend if you're in the area! It's a small cozy spot, so make sure to come early if you wanna grab a table (they can probably seat about 12-15 people inside). They even have a little freezer for pies to go!“
“I love this place. I usually get my signature Iced vanilla chai latte w/ almond milk and it's sooo good. the almond milk they use is great. My only complaint is there's rarely ever any snickerdoodle muffins. I've come a handful of times and 2 times were the only chance I was able to get my hands on one. I would say maybe make more if they're so popular or make more at two separate times. I usually don't get a chance to go during weekdays and only weekends and never get them on weekends. But lovely place a staff (:“
“I am highly impressed with the level of service and food quality at this Caffe. The place has a divvy feel to it. I loved the quirky decor and the humous conversation between the cook and the man in front. They were so friendly and in sync, I could not tell if they were co-owners. I kept it simple: classic breakfast and a more "trendy" beverage. Nailed both. At any other place, I would've paid $6 for the spiced chai tea close to $20 for the breakfast. Here. Less than $20 for both. For me, the best part of the service was hearing what I wanted and serving it right, 10/10 recommend“
“I didn't eat anything but they do have a couple of gluten-free pastries. My latte was very tasty and the outdoor seating is cute & vibrantly quaint on this cloudy day. The servers were quick and efficient. Kind of wish there was somewhere to sit inside as there's only outdoor seating.“
“This place is always great! The food is fantastic, the staff is wonderful! The breakfast sandwiches are so yummy. You can never go wrong getting your bagels or breakfast from here. The bagels are made right there! So you know they are fresh!!“
“Been here a few times and while the food and drinks are good, the service disappoints. OneDo never seems to open on time during the week. I’ve tried going before twice within the last month and had to walk away because they weren’t open during the hours that were posted on the door.“
“I loveeee me some Atwater's and their Belvedere location is spacious and has quite a bit of outdoor seating. I tend to order over the phone for pick up and they're always polite and quick which is perfect for on the go! Just wish they would branch out into the white marsh area :)“
“I went to the Starbucks today about 7 I usually don’t Starbucks but my niece want something from there.We both other wrong thing they was so understanding I Loved it made want to return ‼️Keep up the Great Job ? Customer Service was above it all❤️“
“A wonderful roasting business with friendly staff and delicious coffee. I get their coffee every Sunday at Mt. Washington Farmers Market. They’ve taught me so much about coffee varieties. When I buy whole bean, it’s Dear Globe. Amazing people.“
“Best Dunkin in the area!! 5 stars all around! :) My wife and I come here every single day and everyone there is super nice. Fast service, and always the correct order. We feel like family here!Vegetarian options: plenty of optionsParking: easy parking! :)Kid-friendliness: they love dogs and kids!“
