I chose the Karak Chai which is on their permanent menu. Cost was $6.36. The drink was tasty and creamy with hints of cardamom and ginger - subtle but not overpowering. Looking forward to trying more drinks. FYI: their are open in the morning and close in the afternoon.

The Pistachio Latte looked good so we got one hot, one iced so we could share & try the two variations. We asked for almond milk in the lattes. Fitting: pistachios & almonds together. Both were really good. Can really taste the pistachio flavour after stirring the latte. We'll keep Qaffee House in mind whenever we're in the area. Side note: I found their logo quite clever artistically. It made sense after I looked at the name "Qaffee House" and back to logo. The cup is the Latin letter "q" and the symbol with the two dots is the Arabic equivalent to "q", the Qaf (ق). And this leads to Arabic word for coffee: "qahwa". Nicely done blend of languages.

I've been wanting to try Uncle Nearest whiskey for a while and sure enough I got a FB ad showing…read morethat this local spot had it! It's definitely a great little spot tucked away in Glenelg. From the outside of the building, you wouldn't know that there's a speakeasy inside, but that's what makes it fun. There's a handful of tables inside and a small shuffleboard too. There's an area outside that I have not been able to check out yet due to it being February when I was there. Kelvin gave me a great story about Uncle Nearest and told it with such enthusiasm too. Kelvin brings this great energy and is one of those people where you can tell that he loves what he does. The whiskey selection in here is phenomenal! So many different ones that I want to try and Kelvin will give you his recommendations based on your preferences. This is a great place for those that want to sip on whiskey or a classic cocktail. Can't wait to go back just so I can have some good laughs with Kelvin and try a few more whiskeys that are on my list!

Breakfast should be simple and easy…read more The execution of this place pulls it off. You walk in. It's bustling with people but not overly loud. You order, put the number on the table, eat, and go. The food comes out surprisingly fast. The ingredients just taste fresh and clean. Not overly salted. It's simple food, but done right. I was surprised how much I liked the place. It's not a place you would travel to go eat. It's a place that if you're in the area and need breakfast and brunch, you can't go wrong. I recommend checking this place out.

So the flight was for different ice lattes paired with a pastry, which was a croissant a Blondie brownie, a macaroon and lastly.strawberry cake for $25. It took a while for the flight to be prepared because I think they're a little bit shortstaffed on a Monday morning, but they had a lot of comfortable places to sit and wait. The corn beef sandwich came out good and I mentioned it was simple because it's literally just corn beef with some white bread and some cheese, but it was actually pretty tasty for breakfast. The coffee flight came out and it's on a large paddle and it looked really delicious. I have to say the regular flavored lattes and the croissant weren't my favorite choices, but as I started moving down the paddleboard towards flavored lattes and the Blondi bar, it was pretty good. My favorite latte was the butter beer and my favorite pastry actually turned out to be the Blondie brownie bar. The inside has enough seating for about 50 people and it's really cutely decorated. I highly recommend stopping in if you're in the mood for a coffee after a day of shopping in Ellicott city.

Looking at the reviews, I was super excited to try out this quaint cafe in Old Ellicott. The…read moreservice was okay and the owner came out after to check in everything. There were 6 of us, and they were able to put two tables together to accommodate us. I was overall disappointed with the food. The waffle which I paid $5 for was super small and there were just chunks of sugar in it. I also ordered scrambled eggs with spinach and cheese. The spinach came out on the side of the eggs and was uncooked. The cheese was not melted, and the eggs were burnt (dark brown and dry). The waitress was kind enough to take the eggs back for the cheese and spinach to be mixed/melted. They were still burnt and flavorless. I picked around and ate what I could. I also ordered some kind of spinach and feta pastry from the front case, which was good. We also all enjoyed the homefries which were crispy with a unique seasoning. We ordered the stuffed french toast which had a great flavor, but it wasn't really stuffed, there were just toppings on it. My nephew ordered the chicken and waffles. He's 15. I'm guessing that waitress assumed he was a kid and gave him the kids portion. Either way, the fried chicken looked like two pieces of frozen chicken schnitzel. My mother ordered the Reuben and did not like it at all because it lacked flavor.

Coffee Beanery in Owings Mills is my daily go‑to spot -- truly my favorite takeout place ever --…read moreand the reason is simple: Farouk and his incredible team. Every day, I order my caramel crunch swirl drink with whipped cream and an extra shot of espresso, plus both a mango smoothie and a strawberry‑banana smoothie. Their drinks are exceptional -- and their smoothies are honestly the best I've ever had anywhere. I recognized Farouk the very first day I walked in, even before I knew why. He used to serve me at Rita's across the street, and he's one of those rare lights of a human you never forget -- not because of what they say, but because of how they make you feel. When he looked up and said, "How are you, my friend? I used to serve you at Rita's!" everything clicked. He remembers my name. He remembers my complicated daily order to the letter. He greets me with warmth every single time -- even when I walk in two minutes before closing. And unlike so many places these days, he never shows irritation or rushes me. He makes me feel valued. One night, I accidentally called 30 minutes after they had already closed -- and Farouk still answered the phone, cheerfully, by name, and took my order anyway. Only after confirming it would be ready did he gently mention their Sunday hours. He still insisted I come pick it up. That kind of customer service is almost unheard of today. There's also Yani, who is shy but incredibly talented. She listens with her whole heart and makes drinks that feel like little works of art. She puts genuine care into every cup. And the kindness doesn't stop there. I've been surprised with freebie drinks when there was extra smoothie mix, offered a mistaken drink for free, and even had two drinks remade after I dropped them in the parking lot. Farouk saw it happen, took the empty cups from my hands, and recreated them without hesitation. Moments like these create customers for life. Coffee Beanery deserves a solid 5 stars across every platform. ---
