50 Best Cafes near Timonium

“My wife and I have been ordering many of their dishes for a few years. Everything that we have tasted has been exceptional. I highly recommend this restaurant to all who want a great affordable meal.“

“Sat outside in the sunshine breathing in the beautiful fall air today. I got the special of the day, a fried haddock sandwich with fries. A latte & an iced coffee, plus a bag of cookies, totaling to about $45. Everything was excellent. The sandwich was huge & I could only eat half. You can sit inside in 2 seperate dining areas, or at an outside table. The patio is cozy & they bring your food out to your table. They have a ton of delicious looking baked goods in the display up front, with beautiful mini pies & seasonal items. Prepacked cookies, brownies & other baked goods sit off to the side. There is also a fridge filled with a variety of pre-made soups & containers of fresh fruit you can buy to go. Cute little place. The service was also excellent.

“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!!!“

“We went for lunch ,tomato soup and one got their summer strawberry salad..... and my sister got a sandwich....only issue was I had asked for an extra dressing.....and it was a 1/2 filled little container that they use for dressing..... I did not ask for an extra drop of dressing but a fully filled container!!!!“

“This has been our go to spot for over 10 years now in Hamden! Great for comfort, food or brunch and always a fun atmosphere. The service has gotten so much better over the years and everyone there is incredibly sweet and friendly. I love that they keep good staples on the menu, but are always trying to reinvent New dishes to complement the old standbys. And even though prices have raised at most other places, this place still remains incredibly affordable.“

“we had a wonderful omlette bar for the teachers at our school! Glen was easy to work with and the food was great!“

“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.“

“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 on sour dough bread I ever had.“

“The food was great! The owner explained how he brought food recipes from Afghanistan. Two of us shared the Kabuli Gosht Palau with Kabul eggplant. We also had the pumpkin called Kabul Kaddo that comes with bread. The flavors and freshness of the food are what stand out to me. We also enjoyed the Shugufa (means flower bud in Arabic) tea. It’s a whole pot of tea with a flower in it. It had a subtle flavor and aromatic smell. We ended with an order of Baklava. Everything tastes like it’s from someone’s home and unlike anything I’ve had in a restaurant. The prices are reasonable for the quality of the food. The restaurant, though, is small. Make a reservation so you are sure to be seated. The restaurant seems to do a lot of takeout. The business also displays beautiful rugs for sale that adds to the feel of Afghanistan. For me, the experience of eating the food and drinking the tea in this sweet place was calm and comforting.“

“This is a great place to experience a proper English afternoon tea. The teas are amazing. The scones are too and everything else. I love coming here whenever I get the chance.“

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

“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!“

“Amazing bagel sandwich with crisp bacon and a perfectly cooked egg with a jammy yolk. Iced coffee was fine but unmemorable. S’mores cookie is a 10/10. One star knocked off because it’s very a cramped space and layout, but understood given the building.“

“My favorite coffee shop / cafe in Bolton hill. The food is delicious, generous servings, & reasonably priced. The coffee is excellent. The staff is wonderful too. On a nice day I love sitting outside. 💛 thank you OTH for being such a gem in the community.“

“Saw this spot on Facebook and wanted to give it a try. When I tell you the food was delicious everything was seasoned well and fresh. Even down to the cookie which another customer suggested them to me and they were good also. We ordered the Apple butter wings that came with garlic parmesan fries and fried Brussels which my wife said everything was so good and tasted great even the wings were big and not some of the typical small wings you get from other places. I also ordered the make your meal deal with 4 wings, collard greens and Mac and cheese all were good and very well seasoned. Customer service was great and everyone was very friendly. We will definitely be a repeat customer and try something different the next time we go. I would definitely recommend calling again to save yourself some time but either way you won't be disappointed even if you have to wait a little. 5 ☆☆☆☆☆ for me..“

THANK YOU ANGELO! #GOODLIVING #greatlandlord #wonderfulcommuntiy“

“Stopped in while sight-seeing in Baltimores Washington monument area! Breakfast sandwich was absolutely delicious ! Food was prepared quickly, too! Highly recommended!“

“The breakfast sandwich was awesome, the cheddar was great with phenomenally cooked eggs. We also got the pancakes which were fantastic as well. I got the hazelnut mocha iced which was okay, wanting to try other coffees to see if I like any others better. A definite go to for a quick breakfast stop.

We got a carrot cupcake to go which was awesome, equivalent if not better than cake by Jason!

“Had an evening reservation for two . Walked into the dimly lit rooftop greeted by Baltimore skyline. Our waitress, Andrea, was very knowledgeable and we ordered most of her recommendations. We started with cocktails that were expertly made. Our shrimp appetizer was yummy sitting on a bed of polenta . For our main we enjoyed the short rib that fell off the bone with carrots that were perfectly cooked on top of freshly whipped mash. For the other dish we chose the duck breast which was the best preparation of duck I've eaten. (Order it medium and thank me later) The sauce accompanying the duck really knocked the dish out of the park. Went for another round of cocktails and ordered the ricotta appetizer to go . Also I must mention the proportion size which was a pleasant surprise. Great experience!“

“Ordered carryout for a birthday party at a local venue and coordination was so easy. Food was great and ready on time and I felt really well taken care of! Even though some items I wanted weren't on the brunch menu they let me order in advance and go off-menu. Highly recommend!“

“Pizza was great, didn’t love that you could only order online and it was a minimum 1.5 hour wait. I thought maybe they were busy but I showed up early hoping it would be done and it was empty and cashier told me pizza guy had to step out … lol what? Not great first impression.“

I get large orders here that are sometimes complicated, and no matter what, they’re always friendly and serve with a smile. The food is also amazing! I’ve never been disappointed, and constantly try something new. Despite the location, hands down one of the best restaurants I’ve ever encountered.
TLDR: Great food, Great service, Great Price, Great People.“

“We stumbled upon The Nook upon accident, having a little bit of extra time before an appointment. The service is great, and the food is even better. As a family that is next door at Hopkins far too often and always disappointed in the food and service, this was a breath of fresh air.“

“I liked the pastries and coffee. The employees were friendly. The day I visited, the room was chilly and I had to leave my winter jacket on to keep warm. I would recommend turning up the heat and adding colorful decors as the room had no warmth. Need to make the place more about interesting by adding interesting decors with colors“
