Atwater's is the gem of Belvedere Square. They have delicious season fare, plenty of vegetarian options, and they serve Counter Culture coffee, one of my favorite brands. It gets really busy on the weekends, so if you're going for the first time, I recommend going during the week. One of my favorite items on their menu is the summer gazpacho. read more

Fairly good food, just have plenty of time on your hands! I can't say that I was impressed with the food and the wait time for advanced orders or in person orders are excessive. Just doesn't fit into my busy schedule or is OT worth the wait. We also had se real orders delivered incorrectly. The staff however is friendly and warm. read more

I thought the food was okay at first but they scrap mold off of they biscuits I seen it with my own eyes one week old oatmeal that gets reheated bad avocados food don't get rotated correctly ...i expect my poultry/chicken to be fresh at least i dont wanna be served 5 to 7 day old prepped chicken.. i can do 2 to 3 days but for 14 dollar sandwiches I can make me 3 fresh chicken sandwiches home for 14 dollars ... its made fresh but the fresh food will sit until the old food is sold so fresh chicken sits 2 to 4 days before sold which is unacceptable when you have fresh food right there smh to much prepped food will go bad read more

The best soup I've ever had, every time! They always have a bunch of new selections of soup/sandwiches and pair them just perfectly. I've never met anyone who didn't love the food. Only reason I didn't give it 5 stars is because of the limited, cramped seating. I've had issues w/ seating everytime I've been. There are only a few tables and people tend to sit for a long time, leaving you to linger around and try to pounce on one. The noise level is too high to have a nice little convo with a friend, but it's not because of Atwater's itself, but just the fact it's inside of a big market w/ many vendors. Because of that, it can also be tricky to find parking. If you are in the mood for a tasty, healthy, semi-light meal of soups/sandwiches, skip the national chains and go here instead! They really care about what they serve and it's worth the table wait. read more

The pecan praline ice cream is good, but Atwater's needs to do a better job packing a pint of ice cream. For $8.95, I do not feel it contains as much ice cream as what a pint in a store does. Would not purchase again. 6/25/2017 - Why does the staff here allow customers to wait in line just to make a purchase and to order a cup of coffee? After waiting 5+ minutes I left my order at the counter and walked out. It only seemed like 1 or 2 people were busy. Not sure what the other staff was doing. Just step up and serve your customers. read more

This used to be my favorite spot, but it's really gone downhill. It took the waitress 15 minutes to bring me a menu and a water today when I sat down AT THE COFFEE BAR and only after I asked for it. I ordered a cocktail that's listed on the menu and she had no idea what I was talking about. Then, after an hour, she delivered my check promptly as I was about to order food. Their hours are posted online and on the doors of the actual restaurant as going until 10pm on Fridays and Saturdays and they kick you out at 8pm. When I questioned it, the waitress (who hadn't checked on me in an hour but now was asking that I pay my check), very Kindly told me it's because for the winter they close early. "You understand that's not posted ANYWHERE, right?" I asked. "Um yeah..." she said and walked away. This place used to be really great, but the food and the service has really taken a deep dive in the last six months. read more

Incredibly rude staff. Coffee bland. I once ordered a gallon of milk and it was completely curdled. Used to come here all the time and after today, I'm done. read more

Best spot for lunch that you can hope for! I came here with my mother on a Saturday, and it was amazing. Everything was spectacular, the service, the smells, the food etc. The soup options were all amazing, but i decided to have a vegetarian soup and a meaty sandwich. The cheddar biscuit was delicious and the soup had such a wonderful medley of veggies that i was completely satisfied, I felt ready for anything lol. My mom got a salad and some soup and ate every bite (a big deal in our house). But aside from the meal, the little gourmet market that you find at the atwaters in belvedere square, its a amazing. I will defiantly recommend this place to any and everyone! You should go now.. stop reading, you'll love it! :) read more

Great food. Parking can be tough during peak hours at lunch and right after work but it's definitely worth it. Soups can be overdone with too many ingredients but they still taste amazing. My favorite option is by far the out of this world chicken salad sandwich. Everything is worth trying but I always find myself coming back to that sandwich. read more

Had the vegetable burger and Jesus it was AMAZING. BEST veggie burger in MD hands down. Better than most real burgers. And the bread. So warm soft with a blast of flavor. Highly recommended. But wait, can't forget about the strawberry lemonade which is the PERFECTLY sweetened, nailed it. read more

For what it is - a market that is committed to providing fresh produce, goods and services while remaining true to local businesses - Atwater's gets 4 stars. Yes, it is expensive - $30 for a bowl of soup, 2 sandwiches, a slice of pie, and coffee - but what place that supports local growers isn't? Plus, it is catering to the Roland Park demographic, so I don't think you should expect anything cheaper. Well then, what convinced me to overlook the expensive menu options to give it a "great" rating? The "great": - The food. We had a creole clam chowder, and it was awesome. I love good soups, and Atwater's has never once disappointed me. This one was especially hearty, with big chunks of Andouille sausage, clams, and veges giving each bite flavor and texture. Add in the fact that they include not just a regular baguette, but a raisin walnut baguette, and you could get full by just eating the soup. However, we had more than the soup! j also ordered a turkey and brie sandwich with fresh greens and cucumbers on cranberry almond bread. The turkey portions were generous, and all the flavors went very well together. I wish I could've tasted more brie, but that is a minor quibble. I ordered a corned beef and swiss sandwich on toasted country white bread with a side of coleslaw. The coleslaw was not that memorable, but the sandwich was delicious. There was a hint of Russian dressing that did not overwhelm the corned beef flavor, and the bread was perfectly toasted! Quite satisfying!! For "dessert" we had a banana cream pie finished with meringue. The crust was flaky, the banana cream was delicious, and the meringue was fluffy and light......oh so good. I think this was the highlight of my meal. Adding to my enjoyment was the "cold brewed" coffee that I ordered. Apparently, if you brew coffee cold and store it overnight cold, it loses it's acidity and becomes really smooth. Well, call me a believer in that!! It was definitely smoother in my mouth than regular coffee, and I have to believe that made it all the more wonderful to drink. - The service. The place was pretty crowded, but once we sat down, a server came and promptly took our order. Better than that, we received our food in 5 minutes! That was a pleasant surprise. - The purpose. Like I mentioned before, all the items from Atwater's is from local area farms and businesses. I will always support the local growers and am willing to overlook the price because of that. Bottom line, Atwater's is a great one of a kind market that serves great food while remaining committed to the local community. The only reason why it is not 5 stars is because it never has utterly blown me away in any aspect. Few places have. But that doesn't mean it isn't the best at what it does in the Baltimore area, and I think it is. read more

My gf and I have eaten in the Canton location, and really enjoyed our meal, so we decided to try this one while we were in the area. Unfortunately, the locations are not consistent. We visited at 1pm on a Sunday and they were out of their really good biscuits, but not an issue for us, we ordered other options. I got chocolate milk, eggs, bacon, toast, and grits and my gf got a dry orange soda and the caprese salad. The capreses salad had only three slices of tomato and two slices of cheese, definitely not the size we were expecting. My meal was good, but could have been great. The eggs I had were very flavorful and delicious, but the bacon was bland cheap tasting and not enjoyable. The grits that came out with my meal were room temperature, so I flagged down a waiter and asked if he would hear them up. Instead of heating them, he brought back a bigger portion of room temperature grits... The highlight of my meal was the amazing chocolate milk and the highlight of my girlfriend's meal was adding liquid sugar to her dry soda and making a delicious drink. To top it all off, the waitress that took out order disappeared until it was time to bring the check. I had to flag down another waiter if we needed anything. To top it all off, there had to have been 20 waiters and waitresses standing around, hardly any of whom were working. Final point to make this experience terrible. We are wrapping up, my gf has finished eating, but I still have a bit left. The bus boy comes over and plops his tub down on the counter, while I am mid bite asks if we are done. I say I am still eating so he just stands there watching me finish. As soon as I finish he tells us to put our dishes in his tub. What??? Why am I clearing my dishes in a restaurant?! Side note, the soup must be good here, everyone around us had ordered soup. read more

Simply the BEST sandwiches in Baltimore, in my opinion. Ingredients are always so fresh and I like that the selection (especially the soups) changes all the time. Definitely pick up a loaf of bread to take home while you're there, and also try the "worlds best lemonade" that they sell at the juice stand. read more

Always heard great reviews about Atwater's and we were not disappointed. We each enjoyed a salad and sandwich. Beautifully fresh salad - with great taste- wonderful sandwiches. The lemonade was out-of-this-world!! Stop in to enjoy a great sandwich and salad!! read more

Yum yum yum! The breads are fresh and delicious. They always have excellent soup options also. You can't go wrong with their baked goods either. It's like a........dare I say......local version of Panera. The prices of the two are similar and Atwater's is better. I'm not just saying this because I like local food.....this for once is actually a lot better! read more

Offers a smaller menu of uniquely crafted sandwiches, salads, soups, etc. I am always facinated and surprised by their offerings and everything I have tasted is delicious. A tad on the pricey side, but the portions are good. read more

Let me start off by saying that the service I receive at the cafe counter is always great! I usually order breakfast to go and its always fresh, hot and quick. The hot chocolate I get while I wait is the best I've ever had (you have to add a shot of their house made vanilla syrup OMG!) And although its located inside of the market, they somehow make you feel like you're being serviced in a stand alone restaurant. This location is my fave out of all of them! read more

Once a weekly must-have soup & sandwich place, Atwater's was off the charts in my book owing to their incredibly flavorful, diverse, home cooking-reminiscent soups (lovely rich broth added to precooked goodies to avoid sogginess) and very tasty chicken salad sandwiches (served on wheat toasted bread with craisins, apples, L&T). Taking a destination voyage out of Fells Point just to go to Atwater's (a gasp! among locals asking what-can't-you-find-here), we justified the ~$30 meal trip for two by the deep satisfaction received upon both sampling old favorites (e.g., scrumptuous seafood gumbo) and venturing into the creative new soups that changed weekly. (Of the handful of soups offered each week, a couple would be traditional staples and a few new.) Though I typically take my iced tea unsweetened, a must-try is their irresistable, easily-soluble, perfectly mixable sugar liquefied to syrup...mmmm....it does amazing things to otherwise plain-brewed iced-tea with lemon. New chefs, biodegradable corn-based cups, and transfer away from the successful model of always offering popular crowd-pleasers along with several new soups (hey, gotta experiment, I know!), Atwater's raised prices and started consistently having a skewed hits to misses ratio so my concerns of surviving a move from Baltimore diminished. All else being equal, staff is attentive and nice. The place does get crowded so arrive prepared to stake out a seat. Though the counter offers the best spot in the house with the view of huge wats of soup, there is both street-side outdoor and winter-enclosed patio seating. I do miss my old fave Atwater's and do occasionally return in hopes of finding the much-missed place it used to be. read more

Very delicious. Really excellent fruit tarts. I like to think of myself as a pretty good amateur baker, but these make me feel like an amateur. They manage to get the flakyness and moitness and right amount of cooking for the crust and not get all soggy from the fruit. Not fussy, just expertly done with good ingredients. Yum. Oh and the hearty breads are great. My endorsement for the soups: I generally don't get excited about soups, but theirs made me look forward to soups. Note: this is in Belvedere Square, so it is not a restaurant, just part of the market. read more

I often go to the Atwater's located in Towson for lunch. I love their roast beef sandwich and their soups never disappoint. Yes, it is pricey, but worth it! If you are getting something to go, I would recommend that you call it in for pick up as there is not much room to stand and wait for your food. They always have their daily menu posted on their website. read more

The best chicken salad, and sunflower bread! The soups are amazing a must try. I love the local feel, the staff are always down to earth, and helpful. Cant go wrong at Atwaters! read more

Dear Belvedere Atwater's when a mistake is made inputting or reading (because I don't know whether the cashier or barista made the mistake) a customer's drink order, the customer should not be rewarded with a sloppily made drink. There were a few people waiting on orders so perhaps the goal was to keep the line moving? I would have preferred to wait until those orders were done to have my drink remade; if that's what it was going to take to get the great tasting drink I paid for. This is not my first chai tea latte with almond milk at Atwater's, so I have a comparison point. All I'm tasting here is lukewarm almond milk. Disappointing! read more

The split pea soup is great, the bread it comes with is pretty dense and overall the food was enjoyable I give the food 4 stars but because of the whole experience I'm giving this establishment one star. The service was horrible, and that's coming from a person who has been a server. Our waitress didn't greet us but instead seemed like we were bothering her. To give her credit, she did take time to pull out her notepad and write down the order and bring us the bill. The most welcoming person was the individual who brought us our soup, not our waitress, that person actually looked like he was happy to bring us food. Service is only good if your white, rich looking, and Jenn is serving you because she only likes white rich looking patrons or if it's someone besides Jenn. Based on the other reviews perhaps this place needs to review their wait staff and get rid of some deadweight or just the bigots they employ. read more

Visiting from Los Angeles, this was a great find. Tasty coffee and super selection of food and beer for any palate.

Since moving to this part of Baltimore around two years ago, this place has become part of my nearly everyday life style. Delicious breads and coffees and soups and sandwiches. All offerings are seasonal and most--I believe--are made from local acquired produce. The staff is friendly and thoughtful. It's a modern neighborhood bakery, a bit up scale and gourmet, but the kind of place you'd want in any community. read more

Ok, so I've been here several times because it seems to be the go to place for lunch with my colleagues. It is consistently good, but prior to my last visit not so good that I would be plotting my next visit. Alas the BBQ cheddar biscuit was delicious! Goodness the BBQ was a bit saucy which is not normally my style - being from NC, home of the vinegar based BBQ, but theirs paired with the biscuit and melted cheese perfectly. They had to have toast the biscuit a bit too because it wasn't soggy at all and the cheese was melted to perfection! Needless to say I have been actively talking myself out of going nearly daily since my last visit. Hope I didn't just get lucky! read more

Amazing soups and sandwiches on their homemade breads. I'm fond of their chicken salad since it's not full of mayo, their cold brewed coffee will jolt your nerves, and you can pick up a quart of soup to take home. read more

Atwater's is located in the super snooty Belvedere square where I live. I am not super snooty for the record I AM the exception.. I have been here a few times and four stars really goes to their chicken salad sandwich on sunflower wheat bread. This place is a cafe'/market where they specialize in a large variety of fresh, homemade breads, natural beverages, fresh produce, soups, salads, pastries and the like. Almost everyone will find something to suit their needs at Atwater's but again, the area it is in is probably why the prices here are a little high. Plan on paying around 6-7 dollars on a half sandwich and close to 10 for a whole. The shopping center is ALWAYS packed and it can be frustrating at times waiting or battling over a parking space so be prepared. There are pay meters along the street, however, if the parking lot is full. read more

My new favorite place. Their soup and bread were so refreshing, it tasted very healthy. Oh, and their price is right. Love it so much!

Their soups for lunch are unbeatable. Comes with a wedge of fresh bread, so filling, excellent value. My only quibble? I wish I could get my Diet Coke with lunch! read more

I made the mistake of going here again two years since my last visit. it has only gotten worse. I ordered a bowl of soup which came with a very small dry roll and no butter. What's more soup wasn't even hot. I also had a cup of hot tea. My bill came to just under $10. The woman who presented my check and took my payment didn't even say thank you either when presenting me my check or after I paid for it. And I believe she's the owner or manager because she's been there for as long as I've been going there. Never again and this time I mean it! read more

The biscuits and gravy was solid, huevos rancheros was Ok. Experience was not great, huevos rancheros took forever, everyone else was finished. The market overall is awesome, but the ketchup they brought out was fermented (it tasted weird and exploded), that kind of brought the whole experience down. Kind of a mess, but our out of town guests loved it. read more

This is our favorite soup place, their breads are fantastic, and we love the almond raspberry cookies.

Consistently, Atwater's produces the highest quality product for their customers. The breads, soups, baked goods, and coffees are all worthy of a try from any of their locations. I've bought countless loaves of their sourdough and sunflower flax breads, and tired about 10-15 different kinds of soup for lunch. I love the Belvedere location because the ample seating and energetic atmosphere. Can't say enough great things about these guys. read more

Very cute... especially when the waitress almost choked when I asked for the wine list. It's a quaint little place with a quaint little menu. Pros are the fresh ingredients, friendly waitstaff, and farmer's market in the parking lot. The menu was kind of limited for vegetarians and I'm also a little peeved when things show up on my plate that aren't the menu (eww cooked carrots). It was my friend's birthday and they did bring out a cookie with a lit candle (on the house). If you need a quick bite and want to support the locals, this is a good place to keep in mind. read more

I love atwaters. It's so nice to have so many fresh options. The soups are to die for. I would love them to make an olive bread. I love their breads as well. Customer service is A plus read more

Great place for brunch, lunch, and dinner! I love the fact that it is inside Belvedere Square Market. You really cannot go wrong with anything on their menus! Chicken salad is great, as well as their turkey jack sandwich.Their chocolate dipped coconut macaroons are a great treat also. Try the sparkling Americano! read more

Love the options. Love the options. Love the menu. Love the Folks. Food....i'm left wanting a bit. I had the kale salad and the rueben. Now to be fair I am a reuben fanatic so...maybe i've just been privy to spectacular versions of this sandwich. The meat was a bit plain-isn. Kind of a watery flavor. Have you ever made chili in an hour? Then have you made chili that you let steep for 5-8 hours? Taste the difference? Well that's what was going on with this sandwich. The individual parts were lackluster making it difficult to really get a delightful end product. The kale salad was good in a different kind of way. The type of kale chosen was nice. I like that kind of leaf...but it is on the bitter side...so adding something like a red or yellow pepper would have evened out the palette for me. The salad did have large chunks of beets in it which just didn't lend well (For Me). I ended up taking everything off the salad, finding my own salt and pepper, and eating it dry. BUT I want to come back and try them again. :) read more

Giant pancakes, great service and a large selection of soups. This place is a larger version of recently closed one on Falls Rd, which was closer to my house. They may be more expensive but it shows with the quality of the food and that makes all the difference. Real maple syrup with plate sized pancakes, The soups were flavorful and delicious. read more

Delicious soups and sandwiches. Stopped by for lunch on an unusually cold and rainy May day and the vegetable explosion of flavor was perfect, accompanied by a large hunk of freshly baked bread. Something like a mushroom, leek, red chard, corn, etc. with a touch of cream soup...yum. Also tried the vegetable with three cheese tortellini soup. Great service and casual market atmosphere. I'll definitely be adding this to our lunch rotation. read more
