47 Best Coffee Shops near Lake Shore

“Excellent food, friendly staff, and great space for lunch or an event!“

“We stopped in for coffee on a Sunday morning in February. We were greeted enthusiastically upon entering. There was no line so we didn’t have to wait to order. We just got coffee but they did have a pastry case and I think I saw a food menu.

The service was quick and friendly. We sat at a table and enjoyed the coffee. The atmosphere was relaxed and easygoing.

They have a shelf of merch in the front of the store.

We had an enjoyable time.“

“Fantastic location for a coffee after a Saturday morning run. Tasty drinks, friendly staff, & plenty of room to sit & chat with friends.“

“Highly recommended! Awesome people!“

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ We stopped by Curate Annapolis Café, Bakery & Wine Bar and were blown away by how delicious everything was! The pumpkin muffins were perfectly spiced and moist, and the specialty chai was absolutely amazing, cozy and full of flavor. 🍂☕ The service made the experience even better, thank you, Skye, for being so kind and attentive! Can’t wait to come back for more treats soon. 💛“

“Highly recommended! Awesome people!“

“This place gets super busy but totally worth the wait. The line moves relatively quickly, and the wait for food can be upwards of 30 mins during the rush. The parking lot is small, pull around the back for more parking. Service is prompt and friendly and they have seasonal specialty lattes on a board to the left of the registers, definitely don't miss them! I ordered a honey lavender latte that was perfectly balanced and so tasty. I also ordered a breakfast biscuit sandwich. The biscuit was buttery and delicious and there was a bit too much cheese for me, but that might be your kind of thing. There's both outdoor and indoor seating and turnover is quick! You can order online ahead of time and head to the back of the store for pick up if you're in a rush.“

“I’d give it 6 stars if I could. Looks like a bookstore from the outside, but guess what?! Well. It kind of is a bookstore. Because it’s IN a bookstore. But that’s part of its charm. The coffee is great, obviously. And they have tea. Just don’t you dare ask for chamomile. Or if you’re feeling playful, you can always get some hot choccy. They’re always playing great music too. A fantastic atmosphere. I go in every single day with my laptop to do some work and I swear, I accomplish more in one hour than a college kid on Adderall cramming at 4am for an 8am final. The real absolute rockstar of the show, though, is Madison. I think she might actually be superhuman. Once I ordered something and she told me no, I don’t want that, and then made me something else. And you know what? She was absolutely right. It’s like she was able to take her hand and reach it into the deep, dark recesses of my soul and somehow know more about me and what I want than I’ve ever known about myself my whole life. I will never question her on anything again. If you’re in Annapolis for even just one day, this place is a must stop. Just don’t come when I’m there, I’m trying to get some work done.“

“Found this rare gem in Eastport while visiting my daughter in Annapolis. Missed seeing Oscar that day but the coffee was excellent. Highly recommend this coffee house/trailer!“

“Amazing coffee and yummy breakfast sandwiches. I love the Java chip Granita! You must try!❤️☕️“

“You haven’t had a good crepe until you’ve come to Irina’s! Their home made batter is the best part of it all! GLUTEN FREE options are a plus for people with allergies. I love the waffles most! You’re able to put whatever you want inside your crepe or on top your waffle! The staff includes the owner Irina and her son Paul, they are super nice and love seeing new customers! This spot is definitely somewhere I’d take you for breakfast!“

“Beautiful people, atmosphere, hand made gifts, and espresso drinks & teas are at Hon’s Honey Marketplace. There are a few tables and warm window-side seating for those who want to sip and read. I’ll absolutely “bee” back! If you’re not in the area, they often have a table at the Maple Lawn farmers market in Howard County, too! I swear their honey has helped my spring and summer allergies.“

“phenomenal mushroom soup. best ever albacore tuna sandwich-the flavors were delicious and truly tasty. 😋 highly recommend and look forward to trying more from your menu!!“

“Rise Up Coffee Roasters is my favorite. I love their coffee, latte or coffee smoothie are my favorites. I also enjoy their lavender lemonade. The staff are very friendly. The atmosphere is chill.“

“fantastic in every aspect“

“Best avocado toast hands down. The sourdough is perfection. Chocolate espresso muffin is to die for. The service is always on point! 💜“

“Shoutout to the employees at Rise Up Severna Park, we ended up there with 15 minutes to spare before closing and they were friendly and patient as it was our first time deciding what we wanted try.

The coffee smoothie was what they are known for and honestly after trying it, I know why. It is PHENOMENAL. It has a great creamy texture and the quality of the coffee comes through. It is the perfect beverage to enjoy during the warmer months, but for me I'll take it all year round. They also had great iced coffee, their flavors were not too sweet to distract from the high quality brews that they offer.“

“The best pizza in the city!!“

“Wonderful local specialty coffee shop in the Parole area. Fabulous array of coffee choices and superb customer service. Highly recommend ☕️😊💕“

“Accidentally happened upon this location and was pleasantly surprised! Some of my favorite coffee shops use Ceremony coffee, so it was neat to stumble upon their world headquarters in Annapolis.

It is tucked down a side road, but once you arrive there is a parking lot out front. They host coffee cuppings in their tasting room, and do tours of the roastery. Check out their website for more! Hope to be back one day for an event.

Cheers! ☕️“

“Best doughnuts around. Filled doughnuts are spectacular, cake varieties are great too! My girls love the shack!“

“The bowls at Playa Bowl are always a 10/10. Their house made granola is delicious and the employees always pay close attention to detail when preparing the bowls. My order has yet to be incorrect or sloppy. I would definitely recommend giving it a try!“

“We love going to Bean Rush Cafe in Annapolis! Although it’s not as often as we’d like— it’s always a fun time when we do! Great location and delicious food.“

“I regularly visit both the café and dining locations, and both have a wonderful ambiance for solo working (reading, studying, etc.), as well as meeting with friends for coffee. Scrumptious and interesting food fare, and truly warm and memorable service. Everyone I’ve interacted with has been lovely, but special mention to Eric, Daniel, and Grant, whose hospitality has been inviting and impeccable every time. Always looking forward to my next visit!“

“I work here! So yes, I am biased. The specialty lattes are all very unique and creative flavors, and the prices cannot be beat these days. (No tax, either!) Very small, quaint coffee shop with a calm vibe most days. Note that there is no Wi-Fi.“

“We are early risers, so it’s great to have a spot that opens at 6:00 am! We were pleasantly surprised at how amazing the breakfast sandwich tasted. A bonus perk that it’s not overly expensive. I also got the iced peach matcha latte, which had a nice flavor.“

“My best friend and I ordered some drinks for drive thru pickup this morning and decided last minute when I arrived that I wanted a cake pop. We asked to add one at the window and our barista Ty was so upbeat, funny and gave us great recommendations on their treats they have! Really made our morning. :)“

“Im always in and out of the drive through. The staff is friendly..of course, everything isn't perfect, but the good customer service and speed outweighs the little things. And my drink is always perfect, that's the biggest thing for me!“

“Loved the mural on the wall!“

“Absolutely love the Starbucks inside Target! The caramel macchiato was perfectly made — rich, smooth, and just the right balance of sweetness. It’s my go-to treat while shopping.

The staff here are super friendly and helpful, always greeting you with a smile and making sure your order is just right. Service is quick, even when they’re busy. It’s such a nice little pick-me-up during a Target run!“

“Looking for a quick coffee break from all your shopping adventures in downtown Annapolis? Rise Up might be the spot! We visited here for the first time a few days ago as we were traveling through Maryland and stopped in Annapolis for the day and we were pleasantly surprised with both the seasonal maple iced latte and the iced tea we got. I didn’t see until I had already received my drink that they had a supposedly iconic coffee smoothie on their menu. That was probably their best menu item - shame I didn’t get a chance to try it. Next time!! But yeah, this place is located in a little food hall that has several different vendors all in one location. So, you can come here for food from some other places and get your coffee at Rise Up all at the same time! I really enjoyed this place, service was good, our drinks came out fast, and there really were no complaints. I will be trying the coffee smoothie next time I’m in Annapolis and stop by Rise Up!!“

“Be cautious when ordering Starbucks at Arnold Safeway. Just watched the young lady blow her nose and go up inside with a finger from each hand and proceed to make drinks. I said something to the young man and he said something to her to wash her hands and she ignored him and went about making drinks and touching everything. I left and informed the manager as well.“

“This place is INCREDIBLE! All the bakery items are delicious! It’s always consistent! It should be studied how delicious the pastries are!!! They have the best almond croissants in Annapolis!! The atmosphere is like Nana’s kitchen. It’s intimate and welcoming!“

“I spent one whole morning working on my office related work at this Starbucks location. Fresh food and great beverages.“

“Janele is an outstanding team member at Dunkin’ Donuts. Every time I visit, she greets customers with a warm smile and a positive attitude that immediately makes the experience better. She is fast, efficient, and clearly knows her job well, even during busy rushes. Janele takes the time to make sure orders are accurate and goes above and beyond to provide great customer service. Her friendliness and professionalism truly stand out, and she is a big reason I enjoy coming back to this Dunkin. Highly recommend recognizing her hard work and dedication.“

“I was in Annapolis, Maryland this past weekend for a wedding. I was on the search for a coffee shop and come across Seoul Blues Coffee. I ordered a pistachio latte, hot and it was the best pistachio latte i have ever had. The best! Get you one if you are ever in the area.“

“me and my girlfriend Cheyenne Wystell her mother ms wendy Williamson had dunkin for snacks“

“We love going to Bean Rush Cafe in Annapolis! Although it’s not as often as we’d like— it’s always a fun time when we do! Great location and delicious food.“

“Fairly standard coffee shop serving the full range of Starbucks coffees (but not a Starbucks location). Also has other cooler beverages, package snacks and premade quick bites depending on the time of day (bagels, muffins, breakfast sandwich, lunch sandwiches etc).“

“Love this place !!! Prices and quality of the food, are awesome! Also their service is amazing �“

“So glad to see Scott here! His energy lights up the room! The musty smell inside is getting better every day!“

“I visit this location daily, usually around noon, and the baristas are wonderful! The regulars greet me by name and always tell me to have a great day! Occasionally, there is a little note on the side of the cup, which is very sweet. When I am running an errand somewhere closer to another Starbucks, I drive to this one, even if it is out of the way that day. Thank you, Pasadena MD Starbucks, for always making me feel as special as you are!“

“je commande rien c7 elles même que je veu7“

“In contrast to the other Starbucks in the area I think this location takes the cake, the service is wonderful, quality is unparalleled, and the atmosphere is amazing! The employees always make me feel welcome, especially Lily, (Super Enthusiastic Character). Highly encourage you take the extra mile just to go here, it’ll be well worth it!“

“Love the varieties and the water view.“

“The staff is wonderful, I will miss them deeply!!“
