14 Best Cafes near Monkton

“I have been a Dough Run “regular” since shortly after they first opened. The food is wonderful. Unlike many other eateries, they have not gone to cheaper ingredients since the pandemic and you can tell by how fresh and tasty everything is. The sweets are amazing and if you are gluten-free they have an increasing number of items available for you. I highly recommend the gf/v “gruffins” and the lemon squares when available are not to be missed!“

“Amazing communal living in a beautiful location. So blessed to live with amazing people. The landlord, Angelo Otterbein, takes great pride in securing a clean, well maintained property for all of us to enjoy! Whenever an issue arises, he's prompt in addressing and resolving. THANK YOU ANGELO! #GOODLIVING #greatlandlord #wonderfulcommuntiy“

“Randomly driving through Timonium on our way back to PA we were looking for food. Fuentes showed with good reviews and we stopped. Now once a month (sometimes more) we drive an hour back to Timonium for amazing food. We’ve even brought family down here. The italian food is plentiful and tasty but the fish and shrimp tacos are our favorite. A lovely couple owns the place and they cook all the food and they’ve always been kind to us. We hope to come here for many more years.“

“Went to Ashland Cafe last Saturday night... The food was great the band was great but our waitress was exceptional...Becca went above and beyond with her service.... She needs a raise... Well definitely be back!!!“

“The best pastries in town ! Always something new to try.“

“As Delis go, this is a solid choice. They have been in business for 10 years and made it through the Pandemic, so that should testify to their ability to keep their clients coming back. Serving breakfast and lunch, they have a traditional menu, but the sandwiches are super sized, Soups are good, haven't tried the salads.“

“Had a pleasant experience today that required multiple staff members help. I can’t remember everyone’s name but the floor manager and Nate at the service desk were wonderful, pleasant and super easy to talk to. Highly recommend this location!“

“250828 - By the time we reached Sparks, the muffins had begun to take effect; we were low on fuel, having come off the highway, aware wet were close to ‘Empty’ in unfamiliar country. Nervously looking for a gas station, ambling along our way back to Canada after a week in the capital. Some said we were brave to visit, we never minded, soaked it all in, we were just there to check on our American cousins, see how y’all were making out in a rather turbulent time. Loved the rolling countryside and gorgeous homes in the area - hmmm…a preserve of the ‘horsie set?’ we thought. Now, even lower on fuel, we caught the sign and stopped at TFS. We surveyed the place, quirky storefront and round the back which felt surprisingly, decidedly chill. Straightaway, we struck up a conversation with a friendly physical therapist, because we’re that kind of chatty. Had a spontaneous, lovely and wide-ranging chat including the whole family. A delicious milkshake, I think a cookie, and couple washroom breaks later, our new friend sent us on our way to the Exxon down the way and a nearby turnoff to get us back en route to the north land. Felt really good to meet a kind helpful soul along the way, the kind of people we wanted to show the kids, and we somehow knew we would certainly meet on our drive into NY, PA, MD, VA, DC. Now back in the land of the silver birch, home of Lord Stanley’s sport and the ‘double-double,’ I am just reading about your late friend Rosa and how much she’d touched you all and your beloved TFS :) Nice lil place. Glad we got to stop by and say hello :) Best regards, hope to see you again“

“While shopping yesterday.“

“My husband and I had a late breakfast at the Timonium location on December 27, 2024. Upon arrival, at almost 11:30 AM, the hostess named Samantha, was seating another group of people. We watched Samantha clean tables, set place settings, before returning and seating us. We soon took note that this very pleasant hostess/greeter was taking on several jobs: we watched her methodically bus tables, return to awaiting guests in line and proceed to repeat the same process...while also being the cashier for departing guests who were paying their bill. As more and more people arrived, we watched Samantha's professionalism never waiver. Our waitress named Kelly was also pleasant. She quickly took our order and soon returned with drinks. Not long later, another kitchen helper returned with our plates of food. I commented on how well everyone was working and gave a special appreciation to Samantha. We observed Samantha rearrange tables to accommodate groups of people while maintaining her warm smile that revealed her love for her job and customers! The food was delicious, and the service was above standard. Employees at this location really work well together but Kudos to Ms. Samantha who worked above and beyond expectations!!!“

“Service was very slow. I suspect it was an understaffing issue. Food was slow in coming out and was luke warm, especially my personal pizza. It's a loud restaurant. They do a great business so the crowds are always busy and active. It's not a criticism, it is just not our preference. Still, it is moderate food at a moderate price.“

“Our first trip to First Watch this morning. Great place for breakfast or brunch. Nice menu, lots of healthier options too. Place was clean and chic and the food was fast, hot and delicious. Our server was Tiffany who took care of us. Nice and friendly. Highly recommend!“

“The Timonium store is top notch! My second home away from home. They are very friendly employees. Sit eat, chat with friends, eat some more, get another drink, chat, eat, you are never rushed out. Many conduct business there. Many on there laptops & I have even seen them bring in their big computers & plug them in. 6am til 9pm, Sunday thru Sat. Give them a try, find a comfortable seat, & just chill!“

“Ordered delivery but was missing a sandwich. Pleasantly surprised that after calling and explaining situation, the manager was super kind and offered quick resolution. Thank you for your kindness and willingness to resolve. It goes along way these days.“
