We love Atwater's monthly wine club. In May (2026), they treated us to taste a $46 Laurent Perrier "La Cuvee" Champagne. It was sublime. Tiny well-dissolved bubbles. A lightly citrus white-wine flavor and aroma, that lingered. The other five tastings were nice, too. A variety of light flavors, one quite dry, one rather fruity but not too sweet. Each around $20 retail, their usual range. We had a fresh bibb-lettuce salad with yellow beets and large asparagus spears, highlighted with crisp lightly toasted almond slices, a sweet and crunchy delight. And we had their savory flavorful Umami lightly-spiced mushroom burger, with cucumber slaw and aioli, one of our repeat favorites. We try not to miss their monthly tastings, though I dont always update you on the latest one. If we do miss, we still get to pick up the two bottles that come with it. It's gun to taste them all, and the food is always creative and tasty without being too exotic. read more

Decent spot for coffee and light breakfast. But man is it pricey. Small portions for ok food and baked goods, in my opinion. It's popular, a nice ambience, and nice to support a local business. Be ready to pay a premium. read more

Checked in at my favorite coffee spot in Catonsville! Today I got an iced maple cinnamon latte with oatmilk and an avocado toast to go. The latte was delicious but the cinnamon all sunk to the bottom and created a sort of sludge (maybe a bit less cinnamon would've been better). The avocado toast was amazing in flavor as usual, but my toast was a little more charred than I would've liked. And finally, Atwater's has tons of locally made wine and beers, so I decided to do the make-your-own-6-pack deal for $15 with some locally brewed beers. I asked for the plastic topper so I could make my 6-pack, but they were out, so they just gave me a paper bag to put my beer cans in. Overall the food and beers were great, there were just a few small tweaks that would've made it a 5 star experience this time. read more

We discovered this amazing little spot this weekend and had the most delightful breakfast we have had in a long time. The restaurant is bright and airy with lots of cute art on the walls. There was live music playing softly which made great ambiance. The servers were so friendly and attentive. The coffee was amazing. It might be the best vanilla latte I have ever had. Creamy, smooth not too sweet. The food was delicious. Pumpernickel raisin bread is to die for. Prices are very reasonable. read more

I eaten breakfast and lunch at Atwater's many times. Great sandwiches and great baked goods. Seating downstairs and up. I like upstairs. Sunny and bright. I understand there is live music some evenings. Selection of bottled wine. Nice spot. read more

This deli sandwiches here are amazing. Fresh and delicious and well prepared. We had decaf coffees in the afternoon and they tasted a little odd. Regardless, we will definitely be back here again when we go to Catonsville. The deli is very quant and cozy with a second level dining area. They also have numerous music events which look like a lot of fun. read more

Indeed, I love the blend of excellence of skill, professional conscientiousness, consistently high quality brewing, and exuberant personal charm of my FAVE MASTER Atwater's BARISTA - RILEY whose lattes take the cake all day!!! And now, I must add to my top 3 fave baristas, running in a tight 2nd place, new barista ELLIE!!! Awesome Ellie brews the BEST ICED VANILLA LATTES known to man!!!! Today and yesterday, I, a very frequent Atwater's customer of over a decade, experienced the brewing talents of the. most cordial, well-skilled, very conscientious barista, Ellie! My latte was light, lavish, smooth, and very satisfying embodying the perfect blend of espresso, milk, and all-natural, homemade vanilla (Atwater's steams real vanilla bean to make its sug-free vanilla flavoring, I was informed years ago)! Ellie - like Riley - takes her time and dedicates her service to designing the most excellent espresso concoctions! My daughter and I both said our lattes were A-1 exceptional, and we agreed they tasted uniquely well crafted! Will visit soon again to have another! I have had lattes throughout the tri-State area as well as in various other countries, and yet I find Ellie's lattes to be quite perfect, quite notable for this world-traveling latte/ espresso aficionado!!! Kudos! read more

We had been to Atwater's in Baltimore and I loved it, so I was very keen on trying the Atwater's at Catonsville. Cozy from the outside, surprisingly spacious inside. There is more sitting upstairs. Friendly staff, fresh and flavorful food. We ordered tomato mozzarella sandwich and House Pancake and both tasted great. It isn't just about great food -- their coffee is fantastic too. So if you are planning to go for a coffee date it's a perfect place to be. Parking is a bit of a challenge--there are a few spots behind the building, plus some street parking, but during peak hours you might have to circle a bit. Overall, Atwater's is a great spot for a casual lunch, coffee date, or a weekend brunch with friends. read more

Had a 15 minute wait for a party of 3 on a Sunday afternoon. The menu was unimpressive, with everything on the menu a bit fancier than my tastes, and they're priced to match. Just about every dish had avocado or some kind of fancy sauce or cheese. Our server looked at us like we were crazy when we asked for some small changes or additions to our meals. The coffee was a bit bitter and was only refilled once. One of the people in my party had their order completely forgotten either by the server or the kitchen (the shift supervisor did apologize). She didn't get her meal until the rest of us were done. My SO wants to come back, I told her she can go back without me. read more

We didn't know that there was space upstairs. Lots of space. The coffee was really good. We sat at the bar. Somehow our order didn't seem to make it to the kitchen so it took a while for our meal to come. We were comped 50% which was nice. Decent meal. Over all satisfied and would come back. Food was decent; I wish the sandwich had been larger. read more

Love this place. Great food, especially the delicious breakfast, and nice atmosphere!

I've been twice and enjoyed the experience. The service really brings this review to a solid 5. I would only give the food a 4/4.5 depending on what you get but the servers are always crazy nice and helpful. Ham Jam Sandwich: ham, cheddar cheese, jam on a biscuit. I added a fried egg, which was a nice addition. I would ask for more jam on the side. Their biscuits aren't like traditional, thick, buttermilk southern round biscuits. They're rectangular, on the thinner side (which works well to hold the Sandwich together perfectly), and very soft. Would definitely get again. Pancakes: they're unique... Have an ingredient that I can't pinpoint... They're fine but they don't stand out to me. Bacon: not thick but not annoyingly thin. Cooked well... This is important to know lol I would get again Avocado toast: was not giving at all. Needs something else to brighten it.. Maybe something citrus to compliment the other flavors. Wouldn't get again. I'm curious enough to keep coming back though! read more

We had breakfast here and were genuinely impressed. The breakfast sandwiches were delicious, with fresh ingredients, great flavors, and generous portions. The cappuccinos were just as good, rich and smooth with a lovely foam that showed real care in how they were made. The atmosphere is relaxed, warm, and inviting, and it's very kid friendly, which makes it an easy place to enjoy a morning as a family. Overall, it's a great spot for good coffee and an even better breakfast. We'll definitely be back. read more

Atwater's is a cute place with friendly staff. The cookies are DELICIOUS! The baked goods are all pretty solid. The breakfast sandwiches are decent, but grossly overly priced for what you get. The coffee drinks are okay. Regardless of the flavor choice, the standard pumps to drink ratio always leaves much to be desired. I only come here for a cookie fix now, but that is more than worth it for me. read more

The shop has a very small store front and I was shocked to see such a spacious cafe behind the doors. The service was helpful and friendly when I walked in. There are a FEW options to sit down inside --and outside of the shop on a nice day. I dropped in to grab a decaf iced coffee and it was completely disgusting. I took a sip leaving out and thought it was horrible, but figured I could doctor it up in the car. I don't know what happened, but I got a bad batch of coffee, bad milk, or bad something. I highly recommend making sure your drink is right before leaving because I wasted $7 because I didn't go back in. read more

Food was delicious. My latte and Avocado toast were superb. The ambiance is very un organized. The hostess wasn't there when I arrived and 30 minutes later was only there sporadically. I along with others walked in confused and the wait staff was flying by with hardly a chance to stop them. It little more organization and I could see this being a 5 star for me but today was too much. Especially the wait for my food read more

Our first time and it was good. The service for the lost part was excellent. Some slight glitches at the end but overall very professional and knowledgeable. The food was excellent. I had a home town breakfast that was done well. Potatoes could have been crispier and seasoned better. The business operates as a restaurant, bakery and coffee shop. Lots of options for baked goods and we tried a few that were great. Very busy location and staff handled it well. We'll definitely return. read more

I mean what more can I say?!? Atwater's has always been a staple in my brunch journey. I generally had gone to the location in Baltimore in the Canton area, but since they have been acquired - I have not felt inspired to venture out. And secured a space with the perfect view. Well today was the day I got to indulge in my favorite - a dirty chai latte. Breakfast pending...but it's happening. I can't wait to come back ...this is what slow mornings are made of. read more

My husband and I visited Atwater's today hoping to enjoy delicious, healthy meal. I noticed many of my fellow Yelp Elites enjoyed this place, so I figure I would too. Unfortunately, I was very disappointed and highly doubt I will return. My husband ordered a Grilled Corn Beef Reuben without Sauerkraut, while I ordered the Field Green Salad with grilled chicken. After driving away, my husband took a bite into his sandwich which a face full of confusion. Turns out, he was given the Turkey Reuben instead of the Corn Beef Reuben. He called the restaurant to inform them of the mishap and the nice young lady on the phone apologized and offered to make him the correct sandwich, which he agreed to. Unfortunately, his second sandwich was still incorrect, as he ordered the Grilled Corn Beef Reuben without Sauerkraut and the sandwich had kraut . The Field Green Salad I ordered was just ok, as it was missing the apples. I definitely would have enjoyed it more as the apples would have added some crunch and a bit of sweetness. They were also out of the mixed greens that normally come in the salad, so they substituted arugula, which completely overpowered the dish. Needless to say, after spending over $50 on what we thought would be a quick, easy and thoughtless dinner, we're not happy. Neither of us finished our meals meaning we have to venture back out to spend more money. Sure, the staff of friendly, but that no consolation for receiving an order you didn't pay for. read more

I always love visiting Atwater's at DMV farmers' markets so I was really excited to finally stop by the brick and mortar location! It's a really cute space, there are a few tables downstairs near where you order, but there's a good amount of space upstairs too. We got some tasty seasonal lattes and a few goodies from the pastry case- it was a few days before Halloween so there were some cute themed options like mini monster cakes and Halloween cupcakes. Our favorite was the pumpkin croissant, which was shaped like a jack o'lantern and full of pumpkin butter. This would be such a cute place to come back for brunch! read more

I have been to a lot of "fancy" restaurants and moderately nice ones recently with the holidays. My experience this evening surpassed them all. I was dubious so I ordered two appetizers: the mushroom feta toast and Latkes. The flavors these two dishes had were incredible - layers of delicious! Also, the staff were incredibly warm and kind. Lastly, we were seated by a fire that really made it so inviting. This was a very unexpected treat. Highly recommend! read more

We were meeting family for brunch and have been to other Atwater's before, so went to the one in Catonsville. This location is super cute and looks over the historic downtown area. The space is bright and welcoming as were all the staff. The food was wonderful and we enjoyed our spirited morning cocktails too! Can't get those at our local spot. After, we wandered and shopped the area, perfect for a weekend morning. read more

the dine-in service is meh. they make you wait for your drink to take to the table yourself, and don't give you silverware. You have to get it yourself, and when I went to get some, the basket was empty. The eggs were cold by the time I got some. So it it kind of do it yourself, but they still ask for a tip at the register. Also, if you want toast, you need to specify that it is actually toasted bc for some reason they dont seem to have the gist of what toast is. they basically show the bread to the toaster, resulting in just bread basically. You also have to ask if there are bread options and meal side options, bc they don't always check with you about what options you want and just give you whatever. read more

We just left the restaurant. The food was outstandingly bland and underwhelming. We were a party of four adults and two kids. We were never brought or offered kids menus. We discovered there was one on our way out. We had the main menu (the one available online) and we were never given any specials. We found out there were other things offered by the table next to us when they ordered soup. Three adults got the salmon sandwich and by the time they came they were cold. We ordered them without bacon so I'm not sure if that's why it was completely bland or what but they were flavorless. Underseasoned in every aspect. The other adult got a burger which was...you guessed it...flavorless. And greasy. The kids got the side of Mac and cheese. It was disgusting. It smelled like bar rags and tasted like them too. My kids love cheese. Camembert, Gouda, Brie, parm, cheddar, Gruyère, feta, smoked cheddar, sharp cheddar, aged cheddar, raclette, goat cheese...you get the picture. They like cheese. They are not strangers to weird cheese. But whatever was used in the macaroni tonight was absolutely horrid. The scent alone was putrid. The only thing that was decent was the soup. A completely underwhelming experience. The only reason the second star is there is because the cookies purchased from downstairs (almond shortbread) were great. Perhaps baking and the cafe is their strong suit? I would strongly suggest anyone who likes seasoning, fresh herbs and flavor...to skip. read more

Food was delicious, service was sensation and it was cozy. Good portions as well. First time here, won't be the last. Great place, good eats. Everything was as expected. The soup a chi were good too, I like my soup very hot an chai. It wasn't very hot but it was sufficient. read more

As for the environment, I like the vibe, there restaurant in the 2nd floor while the cafe & bakery is on the first floor. I think it's a good place for a date or to catch up with a friend but I wouldn't go back for the food. read more

I literally come here if not once a week, multiple times a month. Today I tried their fairly new, "Grilled Chicken, Squash & Feta with Harissa" sandwich along with my usual latte with this time, vanilla lavender syrup (I usually get maple.) This sandwich isn't my favorite, I expected more spicy or flavorful harissa and chicken (chicken had no flavor) but the bread and the sandwich wasn't bad especially when you add hot sauce that's on the table. I'm happy to see their upstairs construction expansion is finally done. It looks so aesthically pleasing! I love how quaint, homey, rustic, and cute this place is. You can truly taste high quality ingredients in their food and the service is great. For those who've never been... FOOD I SUGGEST TRYING: -Chicken Salad Sandwich (best sandwich in my opinion) -Turkey Cobb Sandwich (I love the avocado, bacon, and Turkey combo. SUPER FILLING) -Any soup (their soups are usually great. I love getting 1/2 chicken salad sandwich with a small soup bowl) -Salads (I usually get sandwiches, but they once had a Thai inspired one which was goods their side salads are tasty!) -Pumpkin Bites when it's Fall season -Pumpkin Lattes when Fall I've also tried their Tofu Banh Mi (filling and vegan but could use more flavor) and many sandwiches which I cannot recall their name. Honestly, I really do just enjoy their chicken salad sandwich the most. I think it may be their most popular sandwich, it's filling, and tasty with good quality bread. read more
