It ended up being very expensive for the smallest portions of food. Everything tasted bland - deli meat with packaged sandwich bread. Nothing homemade about this place. They advertise "salted crips" on the menu and give you a bag of Lays potato chips. The "seasonal fruit" consisted of a few blueberries, a small square of melon and a single strawberry. We got sweet scones which were dry and I had to ask for the sides to go with them - everything was an up charge. All the desserts, petit fours, eclair, etc were all lacking flavor and dry. The space was nice, I do appreciate them keeping the original building tiles, decor, etc.

The coffee is cool but I like it though. The place is cozy. Stop in and chill. It's a little pricey but what isn't these days. The spinach empanada is a show stopper. If you dip it in the spicy mayo, it's next level. This place is a neighborhood gem for sure.

The breakfast is just as good. I'm not even an egg person, and I will happily eat their bacon, egg, and cheese on a croissant. The fried egg is perfect, the bacon and cheese are delicious, and the quiche is amazing too. Even the coffee is good! On top of the food, everyone is always incredibly friendly and welcoming. These are easily the best donuts I've had in the Baltimore area. Better than Kneads and anywhere else I've tried. Do not skip this place!

Diablo Doughnuts moved locations to a plaza in Nottingham - way easier to park than before. Went on…read morea Sunday morning and it was really busy - no indoor seating but there are 3-4 tables outside. There were only 2 people working, so there were a bunch of people waiting for their orders and service was slow. One person was at the cashier, the other was packing doughnuts, making breakfast sandwiches, and the coffees. We waited 5 minutes in line and then another 10-15 minutes for them to pack our 4 donuts. I wanted to get a sandwich but figured the wait was too long. On to the donuts - I liked the blueberry basil and blackberry lime donuts. The blueberry basil flavor wasn't super strong but it was well balanced. The blackberry lime was my favorite - sweet and a little tart. The crobar (croissant-donut) texture was awesome but I did not rally taste the cranberry or orange advertised. The buttercream frosting on top was sickeningly sweet so ended up scraping that off...finally the coffee donut. Not my favorite but not bad - it tasted like instant coffee and was kinda punchy coffee flavor, bitter. But I liked that the bitter offset the sweet. Overall, it's a fun place for a gourmet donut but be sure to not get here when it's too busy and to come early - they sell out of fun flavors fast!

I'm not sure I even know where to start. Me and my best friend rolled up (without reservations -…read moreoops) but were greeted and seated almost immediately. The area near the front window almost feels like a private table. It was definitely giving a great vibe. We checked the menu prior to picking this place and they had EXACTLY what I wanted. I had a big ole brunch of their Grand Marnier Strawberry French Toast which was a three stack of THICCCCC cut Texas bread. It was better than I hoped for! And I brought at least half of it home, because ole greedy butt over here also got the platter with the home fries (I asked for onions and got this caramelized onion topping that was almost a jam. Yummm), the bacon and the eggs your way (scrambled with cheese). My companion had this big ole omelette with a lot of veggies and shared my french toast. The sauce they served with the home fries was sooooo good - it was almost like Heinz 57 sauce but with less of a vinegary bite. The jam that came for my English Muffin was delicious and praise GOD they served butter that wasn't ice cold and unspreadable so yeah hella points for that. For the mimosas, we did the "buy the carafe and the bottle", with a carafe of cranberry juice and a bottle of Cava Prosecco. I loved that we were able to select WHICH bubbles we wanted and for two people it worked out very well price wise. The host (tall guy with a mohawk) and our server (Robyn) were absolutely fantastic. Personable and friendly and very attentive, very much able to answer any questions we had (THANK YOU ROBYN!!!). In short - this place is a gem and yall should go! Be mindful of the parking in the area, but dont let that stop you from a delicious meal in a lovely setting!!

I was able to park right out front but by the time I left, a lot of the spots were taken. Thr people behind the counter were extremely friendly and nice. I was greeted right away and helped right away. I got 2 chocolate frosted donuts, a cinnamon roll, a slice of strawberry shortcake cake, and the large glazed donut. It was fairly cheap (about $14ish dollars), and they only take visa and Mastercard. My husband enjoys the chocolate frosted donuts a lot. The glazed donut hit the spot! Although, I could not finish it. It was that massive. The strawberry cake was super light and fluffy. The cinnamon roll was fine , it was more of a donut cinnamon roll! I would definitely come back here. Great service and amazing donuts/baked goods.

A slight bump through the door, so I had to get a running start in my chair. Didn't expect the store to be quite so tiny. I'm pretty sure the other customers jumped out of my way as I came barreling in, but no one complained. The store was packed, which I took as a good sign. I was there specifically for the marshmallow donuts, but left with a variety of tasty treats, which we gobbled up joyfully over the course of the day. The sweet woman who waited on us, who is also one of the bakers, gave me a sample of their black bottom cupcakes, which put my grandmother's to shame. And I must return for their hat-shaped chocolate covered cupcakes named after the fedora. I regret leaving without one. Definitely a little taste of baltimore. I highly recommend

The majority of their coffees are organic, and small-batch roasted. They're sold as actual pounds 16 oz, rather than 12 oz at the grocery store. I've been enjoying their coffee since 2016. My favorite so far is Rock Creek Reserve, which I purchased at the Olney Farmers Market (recommended by the seller after discussing what I like and don't like). It's indescribably good, so smooth, and full-bodied. Next on my list is Charm City Blend, which I wanted to try solely on the name, since I was born and raised in Baltimore. Right now, I'm really enjoying Royal Blue Blend and it's so delicious and aromatic. Next will be Bird City Blend for obvious reasons. I've never been disappointed!
