This spot is located in a creative workspace that brings all kinds of people together, so it's cool to see places like this throughout our communities. I've passed this location countless times, but was officially introduced through TooGoodToGo, an app designed to reduce foid waste. Since, I've been several times to grab coffee and pastries. For me, the standouts have been the carrot cake and pumpkin bread. Moist and delicious! Service is always quick and efficient. Staff is consistently pleasant, which is always a win in my opinion. Check them out! read more

*quick, friendly service and good food! I actually first found out about this place through a Yelp event (shoutout our community manager for introducing me!). That was for the Lexington Market location, which is much smaller in size. I got a peppermint mocha that time which was great for the winter. This time I went to the Open Works to check out their work space! There are outdoor and indoor seating areas! Great for studying, and it is QUIET which is so important to me. Very open and airy inside. The servers are so friendly and quick! I got the everything seasoning crogel, a few muffins, and a ham and cheese croissant. Everything tasted fresh and good! The crogel was SO well seasoned without leaning too salty. The chocolate muffin was delectable, and I heated it up at home so that the chocolate pieces would get nice and melty :) Ham and cheese croissant was also good! Overall, great experience and I'd definitely come back to do work and snack on their baked goods! read more

Black Acres Roastery - Open Works - Crogel, ham and cheese croissant, muffins - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Baltimore, Maryland

A great place to chill and get some work done, hustles of the open work around so lots to look at too. Friendly greeting as I got there. Picked up a TGTG and got these goodies to try. The muffin didn't make it home, and the crogel is just the flakiest (so good). Stop by if you're in the area or just make them a destination. read more

I finally opened this bag that I bought 2 months ago. I left it in the office after the government shutdown and forgot about it. It's wonderful. Think this will be my daily coffee. Seya their lightest blend. This place is inside Lexington Market. This area of town is pretty hood, so make sure you're packing heat. read more

I stopped in for a morning snack and had a delicious sampling of croissants and muffins. Everything was fresh and flavorful. The almond croissant was my favorite. The service was kind. I got it to go but I can't wait to check out the interior and spend a morning there over the weekend. read more

The coffee here is always delicious. Fresh ground and brewed, I haven't had a cup I didn't like. The owner is so nice. Definitely feeds my soul! read more

Went once to get some pastries in my way to work and WOW I need to come back!!! That cragel (?) I think it was a croissant bagel- to die for

Black Acres Roastery is my new favorite work space! Cafe Fili reigned supreme for quite some time but it's becoming increasing crowded over the last year around lunch time. I needed a quieter space. I found it in Black Acres Roastery. It's quite, spacious, and just want I needed. There were lots of seasonal drinks made with sweet potato syrup, maple syrup, etc. since it was my first time I stuck with regular drip coffee. There's nothing regular about their drip coffee. It is scrumptious!! I also tried the Apple danish. I almost didn't get it because it was rather big. I got it warmed up. First bite I knew I made the right decision. It was DELICIOUS! So damn good! It was only 1 Apple Danish left in the container. If there were more I would have gotten one to eat later. 100% recommend read more

Great coffee and pastries. Nutella filled croissants and crogel. It's a walk up window but service was still good. Outdoor seating was a nice vibe. read more

Black Acres Roastery is located inside of Open Works, a co-working and maker space that hosts skill building workshops related to technology. I love the concept of Open Works because if you know me, you know I love all thing's accessible and affordable for my community. But on to Black Acres lol Overall, I really enjoyed my first time at Black Acres! The staff was very personable and helpful, I even overheard the person at the register helping a woman around the menu. It's always refreshing to be met with staff that's willing to answer your questions. They have a pretty fun selection of lattes, coffees, and tea beverages. You can even buy their Colombia Aponte Honey roast at the Trader Joe's in Towson (that particular one is a bit too light for my cold brew heart). Besides the staff being the obvious stars of the show, they have this genius bagel that I never knew I needed. Gather around as I sing the praises of their Crogel! You heard me, it's the cronuts savory hip cousin. A croissant, thinly sliced and topped with everything seasoning in the shape of a bagel. It was so savory and yummy, I need a pack of 5 at my local grocery like yesterday. I also got the marrakesh morning and yuzu cold brew. The marrakesh was sweetened just right. The yuzu cold brew was refreshing but more citrus forward than I was anticipating. I also bought a pack of their single serve decaf packets! Check them out if you want a break from your regular coffee work spot and are looking for some light fare. Overall a very neat place, and a nice addition to the greenmount area :) read more

I am all for supporting small, local coffee roasters so I was really excited to check this out with my friend! The coffee shop is located inside Open Works, it has easy access in and outside the building, relaxing yet productive vibes. The high quality coffee drinks were made in a timely fashion. I highly recommend the matcha latte! read more

If you love coffee, you must stop by Black Acres Roastery. One of two locations in Baltimore, this one is inside a co-working space with a mission to empower local small businesses and creators. Inside is Black-owned Black Acres Roastery selling a full coffee menu from classics to specialty drinks like a baklava latte. (If you like more sweet drinks, order one.) They also sell pastries locally made like muffins, coffee cake, cruffins, etc. For a more substantial breakfast, order the breakfast sammie. If you add bacon, it's really delicious! read more

Amazing! Fantastic! I had no idea Black Acres Roastery delivered and ordered two half gallons of cold brew on a whim. They were delivered accurately and quickly. The person who conducted the delivery called and texted to let me know that they had put them on the porch and gave me a gentle reminder to put them in the refrigerator as soon as was possible. I'll definitely be ordering from them again. read more

My annoyance is that while the hours say open at 8, that's only the to-go window...so you actually can't go in and sit until 9. It might be really nice space inside but I don't know that. Sigh. read more

Great coffee, nice space and a friendly team. They also sell coffee (whole bean and ground) for you to make at home.

Black Acres Roastery is located in what seems to be a studio space. They offer ample parking and a variety of caffeine beverage from teas to cold brew. I had ordered the Salt Bae ($5.50), which was rich and creamy in the salted caramel flavor mixed in with espresso milk. I had paid for the Nitro Cold Brew ($5), but the barista said they were out and instead got a regular cold brew which normally I would understand, however I did pay extra for a nitro cold brew and did not receive anything in return. The cold brew was good, but for the small size, this cafe is a bit expensive. There is enough seating room and I do believe in supporting small businesses, but I was not content with my experience here. read more

The Remington area has a lot of really great coffee options including Black Acres so finding where to grab a special caffeine drank can be a tough decision sometimes. Black Acres has been the featured breakfast stall at R. House for a little while now (although this isn't a permanent thing from what I've gathered), but I've really enjoyed having Black Acres in my neighborhood for the past few months or so. I recently discovered their selection of specialty lattes and was pleasantly surprised by the Marrakesh Morning which features cold brew, oat milk, and coconut condensed milk. It's nice having a yummy latte option that is already completely vegan so you don't have to worry about accidentally getting the wrong order of lactose or something. I'm not usually a fan of coconut but it was a nice sweet cut to the bitter kick of the cold brew. I've also heard great things about their salt bae latte and the honey lavender vanilla latte. I will say that depending on who is working that day, sometimes the Marrakesh Morning isn't super consistent. Sometimes the coconut flavor is very profound and other times it tastes like someone forgot to add it on. Nonetheless, I would highly recommend Black Acres to anyone visiting R House looking for a caffeine fix. I only wish their stay at the breakfast stall would continue! read more

great coffee!!! great staff!!! and a walk window..... oh yeah! Located in Open Works - great for the community. read more

Great coffee and breakfast spot that was in R House. I'm behind on reviews and stopping in after going to an ultrasound appt at Hopkins. The staff was super friendly. They offered all types of coffee/ drink styles. The breakfast Sammie's weee delicious, my wife and I ordered two different ones. Sad to see them leave that spot but excited to visit their new location. Also had them at the Sagamore Penny Proof event. Pumpkin coffee and the everything bagel cronut (croissant doughnut) were freaking to die for. read more

I had the sincere privilege of meeting the owner of this coffee company during, a live taping of the 'No Pix After Dark Podcast' in October 2021. At that time, I picked up several freshly ground bags of coffee, and let me tell you, I've found my favorite coffee blend now! I've been an avid coffee drinker for years, and I almost treat my coffee like my wine. I'm very selective. This coffee is smooth and I love it! There's something for everyone, and that's what I love! My husband loves dark roast with a strong robust flavor, and I love a medium roast. I was so pleased to find that they had flavors that would accommodate both of our palates. The owner is is super nice and this company has wonderful! I look forward to to seeing them become a household name! I highly recommend them! read more

Oh my gosh, Black Acres Roastery is BEAUTIFUL. It's so bright and open, and the space is side by side with Open Works, a makerspace. It's only separated from them by a tiered platform. I tried two lattes, a normal latte with oat and the seasonal Honey Lavender Vanilla Latte, also with oat (which is the only available milk substitute, 75 cents). The regular latte was delicious, a good type of bitter, and the Honey Lavender Vanille Latte was not unpleasantly sweet. I also had a Nutella croissant, and let me tell you, it was so flaky on the outside but soft on the inside. The outside "shell" looked stunning with its stripes and dusting of nuts. The Nutella filling was fairly generous. Soooo yummy. Despite being in Station North, Black Acres was not terribly unsafe to get to. And the fact they have a walk-up window? Blown away. Fast and friendly service. Highly recommend. read more

Great coffee, very eclectic selection. I got the impression that the people working there were irritated at the time I arrived (well after opening), so the service was not very welcoming read more

First time trying this place out and the breakfast sammies are out of this world. I ordered the Pig Town which is egg, bacon and havarti cheese with arugula. So dang good. I also ordered an iced matcha oat milk latte. It was my first time trying matcha and it wasn't bad, I just don't think matcha is for me. Next time I'm ordering their cold brew. My husband ordered the sausage, egg and cheese sandwich with a Chipotle aoli which was equally amazing. He also got the honey lavender iced latte as well. Overall very impressed by this place and we can't wait to come back! read more

I've been to their stall in R House a few times. I love that their menu is outside of the box. They make their chai latte with oat milk and it is SO good. I also love their drink called Marrakesh Morning, super indulgent and worth it. Their Yuzu Cold Brew Soda is SUPER refreshing. They also make some food, which I have not tried. Can't wait to go back and get caffeinated in a delicious way :) read more

I got the sweetie pie drink that was recommended. Medium sweetness. Had a maple syrup whipped cream that paired perfectly with the drink. They ran out of whipped cream and had to make it, the girl brought me my drink when I was sitting at Connie's (chicken & waffle place). My husband got a Cortada he said was very good. read more

An oasis of peace in Baltimore at a great location. Across the street from an old cemetery with a couple of impressive buildings.

Great coffee and the beautiful soul that made my food order went out of their way to make the breakfast with ingredients that I could eat (food allergies). Highly recommend! read more

Ok. So they have some of the best coffee I've ever had....It was absurdly good. I got it at their pop up location at R.House. Usually I like to load up my coffee with sugar and milk and I could have drank this straight up. They also were super friendly and warm and professional. Additionally, I have crazy allergies and they were able to accommodate them and make me something to eat--which is actually super rare. I can't get over how wonderful they were. read more

I tried the Lexington Market location and it was super aesthetic. The coffee was fantastic and very strong. The staff was super kind!!

We have been ordering beans almost monthly from Black Acres Roastery and are totally in love with their coffee! Not only is the shipment speedy and professional-looking (and shipping for a 5lb bag is free!) -- but the coffee (we get the Seya Blend) is amazing. Honestly, I look forward each and every time I get to order a new bag from this fantastic Charm City small business. I have nothing but great things to say - buy from here! read more

I'm not typically an espresso drinker, but I loved the latte I got here! Will definitely be returning.

I ordered the Seya blend through their mail-order service. It's fantastic! Medium roast, balanced. Will order again! Coffee shipped quickly and was packaged well. Thanks! read more
