This is a great place to come for a snack or coffee. Great coffee - you are greeted with a wonderful aroma and bright space. Not a great place to "hang" or do work. Wifi is extremely slow and chairs are uncomfortable. This may be purposeful so no one gets to comfy and stays. Will come again to buy coffee for home or stop by for a quick cup of coffee - but only if I am in town. read more

Based on the reviewed, I expected a warm and welcoming place that smelled wonderfully of coffee. This place smelled strongly of sweet flavors, as they seem to serve a lot of flavored coffee. Not what I expected. Plus no place to plug your laptop in and charge. Not exactly a spot that encourages anyone to stay longer than it takes to drink their coffee. And their cappuccino is no better than Starbucks, in fact a bit worse. On the whole, I would not recommend. read more

Friendly atmosphere and good strong coffee. Perfect for the morning. The have a nice selection of coffee and sandwiches. read more

Baltimore Coffee & Tea - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Timonium, Maryland

We've been buying coffee here for more than 20 years and have never had a bad experience. We particularly like their breakfast blend and Tanzanian peaberry. read more

Comfortable, quiet, gorgeous aroma. Temperature of water for tea was perfect. Wi-fi is reliable and fast. Lovely ambiance. Polite staff. I will be here studying and writing papers for school for a few hours or until my laptop battery dies. There is only one outlet, and it's under a trash can away from the tables. I do not drink coffee, but I would imagine this is coffee heaven for coffee drinkers. read more

I have gone into this place a lot. The last 8 or so month the place has plummeted. Finally (today), a past employee that I think came back from last year named Robyn, was helpful with choosing a coffee! She was knowledgeable and did not seem like she was reading off of a card. If I asked for a certain taste, she could easily name several coffees to help me narrow it down. She offered her own opinions as well as holding a conversation with me about coffee. Finally an employee who cares!!!!!!! She even helped me with teas whereas when I ask most employes get a face full of fear- ahhh Teas so scary! I could not say how many times I have came in here recently with employes that seem to not know what they are talking about. I would hate to see their few great employees (including the girl today) to leave. If you are in there, ask for someone knowledgable about coffee and hope to get her. However, I have seen a woman come out and not use gloves while I am waiting for my bagel. Gross. Overall, a cool place to go! Not too many coffee shops around here that are good. read more

I love this place . Anytime , I can get to them I go to them . I just wish they had one in Columbia . Real coffee for real coffee enthusiasts. read more

So they have about 100 bins out in the open with roasted coffee in them, and they are very proud of that. But ask any of the teenagers when any of them were roasted, and it's like a deer in headlights! They standard response is, "we roast our coffee every day, it's all fresh." REALLY...so every single bin has been roasted that day? Like every other half respectable roaster, they should put the roasting date on the sign or they can tell you definitively. Asking when it was roasted is an obvious question to most above average coffee junkies. Freshness matters. If you know the roasting process and the equipment they have, it would surprise you that they can pump them all out in a working day. Oh, and don't even bother ordering a pourover brew. It's comical to watch them fumble through such a simple process and completely ruin the coffee (they use a plastic measuring cup, the water isn't to temp, they don't let it bloom, they flood the grounds, and give an eye roll in the process. Head to BB's in Towson for the real deal. read more

I was very excited to try out a local roaster after having moved to the area from D.C. Unfortunately Baltimore coffee and tea was VERY disappointing. In the parking lot the smell of flavored coffee made me nauseous. Some people may like it, but at this place the smell was overwhelming - a mix of dozens of different flavors that combined to make a noxious odor. Definitely not for me or any of the coworkers I dragged with me. Inside was even more of a letdown. Everything was old, dirty, grimy. There was dust everywhere. Tables were sticky and covered in crumbs despite the place being empty. I kept my hopes up though - I have a soft spot for fresh delicious coffee. I couldn't believe how watery it all was. The coffee (which was definitely stale from sitting out too long), the americano, iced coffee, cappuccino, all were no good. Before even trying the coffee you can see how light it is, bleh just no flavor. The service was pleasant enough, nothing special but can't complain about the guys behind the counter (note the omission of "baristas" as they seem to be lacking the skills for such a name). I won't be going back, I think the same goes for the rest of my party. I would say go ahead and give it a try, MAYBE, but do not go in with high expectations. I am not a big fan of Starbucks coffee, to be honest, but I would have to painfully say that Charbucks is certainly head and shoulders above this place in all aspects. read more

Did lunch there which was pretty good, so went back for coffee and fruit the next morning. Jeez louise, Starbucks has nothing to worry about - couldn't even finish the latte and the fruit was bad - thank goodness the bottled water was drinkable. Big tab for very bad quality. Wish had read Mikayla's review earlier ; ( read more

Love it there. Nice vibe. When u leave there after sitting at a table for an hour, you leave with coffee scent all over your clothes! ;)

Update - not sure what happened but this place has really taken a nosedive during the past 12+ months. First, they stock neither Jamaican Blue Mountain nor Hawaiian Kona coffees anymore which was the main reason I spent my $$$ there in the first place. It's the same old song-and-dance every time about 'limited availability' etc. Service is OK but nothing special. There have been a couple times during the past year that I tried to submit my 'bean card' (loyalty card) for a free pound of coffee only to watch them literally get pissed-off about having to honor it. I won't be going back anytime soon. read more

Great local coffee place! Their hazelnut coffee is so good. Thumbs up. They sell different kinds of roasted beans in store, and you can buy them by weight. If you're a coffee lover like me, I high recommend checking out this place. read more

Baltimore Coffee & Tea - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Timonium, Maryland

See all

I am not a coffee drinker and still go out of my way to go here at least once a week. This is a great quiet place to sit and get some work done while enjoying some delicious pastries! The staff is very friendly and accommodating. read more

Where do I begin... Peach Melba Tea, Black Raven Tea, German Chocolate Cake Coffee, Toffee Coffee, Chai Tea Latte, Caramels.... It's all so good. Cute shop! read more

I have been trying in vain to find the Melitta 10-cup manual coffee maker. None of the stores carry a regular stock of this item and if you order it online you typically have to wait a few days to process the order then another standard 5-7 business days for shipping. Well thankfully I stumbled across Baltimore Coffee and Tea, they had it in stock and offered a flat shipping rate of $6. Best of all they shipped the same day and it'll arrive tomorrow! How's that for customer service?!? I can't wait to visit their outlets, they claim to have over 120 varieties of coffee and 1000 varieties of tea. read more

I was just underwhelmed. Their loose coffee selection seemed very interesting but their tea was bland. I got a coffee and it was burnt for $5.50 the coffee should be better. Also they're never open! read more

Great coffee shop. Lot of different coffee flavors to choose from. I have known the owners for about 20 years and they def have an eye for quality read more

There are few times that I have a hot chocolate as good as my mom's recipe, but Baltimore Coffee and Tea pulled it off. Amazing, totally unrecognized little place. Lots of coffee bean options and more. read more

Nice! Good breakfast sandwich on a bagel and a cup of coffee. Nice selection of already-brewed coffees; numerous decaf and regular to choose from! Thanks! read more

I have worked in the area for a while before venturing over and trying something non traditional. It was well worth the trial. The aroma that emits from this establishment is tantalizing. The staff are very friendly and interesting. The coffee selections are through the roof and packed with flavor. I will be stopping by for a sip again. read more

Extensive coffee selection! Great place to sit and chat over a cup of coffee or grab a cup and run. Lots of fresh brews to choose from and plenty of beans to buy and brew at home. Prices are decent, place is a gem for coffee and tea lovers alike. read more

O would give them 4.5 if there was a choice because they get knocked down by the bad vibes I get in there everytime I go. People seem pretentious whether its the old rich couple sitting, or the dreadlocked parton, I never seem to feel comfortable walking in there, or taking my order, its like WHOS SERVING ME... anyways onto coffee, Iced coffee with a .75 refill when youre still there... um YES please. Ive had a bagel from there its a good bagel, but their Powerhouse sandwich is really my go to. So for the food and coffee Ill go and bear the scene. read more

Amazed that a "coffee & tea" place gives a cup of hot water w/a tea bag sitting on top of it when u order tea. Tea latte/misto order resulted in blank stare. Amazing coffee selection read more

This is probably the best coffee/tea place in town. It's a nice environment with great coffee, tea, and pastries. When you walk in, you smell the freshly brewed coffee and the dozens of bags of coffee beans in the store. You can smell all the different coffee beans in the bags and take some, or decide which one you like. They have a huge selection of teas as well, accompanied by friendly employees that will give you their opinion on great coffee and tea flavors. They have other drinks like lemonade and juices, and they have bagels, scones, and pastries. Great coffee, great tea, not too expensive. read more

The owner is a kind business man and great manager. I always buy my tea here. I feel that words don't do justice to how good of a place this is. AWESOME! read more

Literally my favorite place to get coffee, I work close by and have to say that if i couldn't get some coffee from here I dont know how i would be able to function. They have a great selection and if your in the mood to change it up, thats an option here. BCT makes star bucks look like a silly little establishment. Would recommend this place to anyone. read more

In grad school, came to write papers, study, and drink coffee. Chose this place based on the Yelp reviews, free wifi, and good for work ratings. Coffee was amazing, however we were here for several hours and could not get the wifi to work. We asked for assistance with troubleshooting with little help or responsiveness. Unfortunately, out of necessity we left before lunch and took our business to the Starbucks up the street that had fast, reliable internet. read more

Love this place! Great vibe and people here. Would have never known this place was here if not shown by someone but now super glad I have a new coffee spot near me! read more

Poor service/confrontational staff. Will never return even though it is close by. Security guard at a coffee shop is about the least neighborly thing I can imagine. A video played on my phone for under five seconds and the security guard felt the need to confront me despite music and loud conversation that was at a higher decibel. I absolutely understand a rule like that, but the threshold for intervention was far, far too low, but perhaps typical for aggressive off duty police. Just so unnecessary. The manager was very flip as well and blamed the customer. read more

Really cute! This place smells incredible. I smelled like coffee for hours after I left. I pass by this place all the time but yesterday was the first time I've come in. I don't really drink coffee or tea but we stopped in yesterday for a light dinner after work. They have a bunch of different sandwiches plus bagels, salads, gelato, and pastries. They were out of most of the different types of bagels so I just got a plain bagel but it was still really good. Also got a blueberry muffin and picked up a small pack of cookies (which were pretty undercooked, my favorite). Prices were decent, it was about $8 for all that plus a large bottle of water. I didn't really have time to look at all the other stuff they were selling so I'll definitely be back. read more

The smell of this place is electrifying! Mmmm what a wake up! I got a sausage egg and cheese on a cinnamon raisin bagel Delicious!

YUM iced coffee for the summer!! The gelato is also great and refreshing !! The wide selection of tea is great for gifts (for a tea lover obviously). read more

A hidden gem for sure. I am amazed we didn't know about this place sooner. Went in on a snowy day for coffee and lunch. Was pretty busy but we got a table. Love the variety of coffee beans on display. I had a tuna sandwich and a cafe au lait. Both were very good but the coffee was so hot I couldn't drink it for a very long time. Will definitely go back. The staff was very friendly and knowledgeable. read more

Best roasted beans on the east coast by far; amazing staff and delicious brews. I like coffee. I therefore go to the BCT for coffee. I feel good. Thanks for the beverage and smooth treat. read more

Smells DIVINE in here... Coffee is great, food is decent and there is a wide variety of gifts for coffee and tea lovers.

Always a stop when in Baltimore, love their coffee's, I only drink regular coffee and any selection there is good. Baltimore Blend and Black Raven blend are my favorites. read more

This place has some great coffee selection. My parents have lived about a mile from the store since I can remember and its alway a a treat. I don't go very often (prices are a bit high but what artisanal coffee shop can you say different?). This last time I went to grab a coffee with my aister just before they wwre closing. They ended up just giving us the drip coffee for free since they were about to get rid of it (we just paid for added syrups). That made my day! The bean variety is copious even for decaf. And the atmosphere is very home-y. read more

Very cool place! Ambiance was very nice and easy going. The location itself is surprising, but means that there will be less people. I'm sure it busier at certain times of day, but I was there maybe an hour before it closed. Everything about it was clean and fresh. It definitely has it's own flair to it and I will definitely be back. Menu had an assortment of items and was hard to choose (that's a good thing) :) Prices were great too! read more

I have been going to Baltimore Coffee for over five years. I work very close and I wait to come to work for their coffee. Their staff is amazing and I enjoy my daily visits. great coffee shop and local business is a plus. read more
