Parking wasn't ideal, the nearby parking garage was very compact and difficult to maneuver. There is some street parking in front, but it was all taken when we visited. I ordered the Lavender Matcha Latte along with some desserts and ice cream. All items came out quickly and just as ordered. I don't have a bad thing to say about the menu. There is plenty of seating inside, making it a great option for dessert with large groups. We had 7 adults and 2 kids with no issues finding seating during our visit. The staff were kind enough to make conversation with my toddler. I appreciated their patience as I encouraged him to order for himself at the counter. Overall, a great experience and I would definitely come back if I am ever back in the area again :)

The matcha swirl is the perfect way to end a meal when you're in the merriweather area for dinner. I also enjoy the hojicha flavor but it sometimes has a slight grainy texture.

Love this place! I tried their ciabatta, Nutella bread pudding, and baklava cheesecake. I was…read moredoubting their ciabatta at first when I saw it but after actually toasting it and having it with a sandwich it was crisp and airy. The Nutella bread pudding is very indulgent but had such a delicious crust on top and a milk gooey center. The baklava cheesecake took my breath away. It just might be the best cheesecake I've ever had. It's VERY sweet so I doubt anyone can finish one whole piece in one sitting but worth every single calorie. The baked and other cashier were lovely! Very kind even though I came pretty much right before closing. There's plenty of choices and also some room for sitting down if you want to eat in there!

But you can get the soft serve with half vanilla to break up the taste. The matcha flavor is clear and the ice cream is so creamy. It's good potion size and despite the price, it's worth it everytime for me. We also tried the rose lychee cake! I personally really liked it but some of my friends thought it tasted a soap haha. We thought it would be a circle cake like in the electronic ordering pictures but it's actually a square. Service was amazing, the staff was very patient. Seat is limited, it is hard to fit large groups more than 5.

I wanted actual matcha as it is the name of the place. It did not disappoint. The strawberry matcha latte was very tasty. It was a perfect afternoon pick me up.

We went there 2 days in a row back to back. I brought 5 red bean taiyaki the 1st day only because…read morethe man had an attitude and also didn't want to make me the vanilla cream ones. The red bean taiyaki was pretty good and had a bit of a crunch when it was warm but kinda less so when it turned cold and soggy. A good point was that the red bean filling was not overly sweet like in some other dessert fillings. My sister and niece went back the next day to get more and was met with "What do you want?" in a really testy, I can't be bothered with you kind of questioning when it was their turn to order. This time he did make the vanilla cream ones but his overall attitude soured us to the patroning experience. Not sure we would go back again based on piss poor attitude alone.

The food is consistently exceptional, the drinks are always on point, and the atmosphere strikes the perfect balance between lively and welcoming. Whenever friends or family visit from out of town, this is my go-to spot because I know they'll leave impressed. Most recently, I visited for brunch on Saturday and ordered the short rib gnocchi. It was absolutely delicious... rich, flavorful, and incredibly filling. I paired it with the bubbles flight, which featured an assortment of four sparkling wines and was the perfect complement to the meal. Every visit reminds me why I keep coming back. Great food, great drinks, and consistently great experiences. Love this place. Five stars for consistency and great food!

The truffle popcorn was excellent, our child enjoyed the shrimp and fries, and the fresh tuna appetizer was flavorful, although overly sauced. Unfortunately, the scallops with risotto were unacceptable. Both entrees had a strong ammonia-like taste from the first bite, which was immediately noticeable to both of us. We were unable to get much attention from our server due to how busy the restaurant was, but the dishes were left mostly untouched for a reason. For a $40 entrée, we expected much better quality and execution. Sadly, The Food Market did not deliver.

I will say it's pricey but I mean what do you expect for high-quality yummy desserts. The donuts filled with some type of seasonal filling is my fav! The drinks there are also worth trying. My favorite was the tiramisu ice coffee (I think that's what it's called). Onlyyyyy thing I would say is the seating, not much seating for the amount of people who go but nonetheless still great spot.

I enjoyed how fresh and cohesive the flavors were! There's also a variety of pastries offered. These are baked in their Columbia location and brought to Arundel Mills. I was intrigued by the variety of savory treats, some topped with cheese and beef, others with vegetables. I was also delighted to see macaroons, that looked pretty authentic. With all the solid options present, I landed in a pistachio donut! Now, I will say I had a bit higher expectations for the donut. The donut itself was delicious, but I would have appreciated more pistachio throughout the cream in the center or maybe even skipping out on the cream altogether. Overall I think it was certainly worth a try. The matcha, for sure, stole the show! I will be back to try another flavor of matcha and a savory pastry!
