    Signature crogel, apple Danish, double chocolate cupcake, and hazelnut croissant.
    Sheneil B.

    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.

    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.

    Apple Danish and Drip Coffee
    Erica B.

    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

    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 :)

    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.

    Latte and Matcha Latte
    Smitha M.

    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!

    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!

    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.

    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.

    Almond croissant and Gingerbread Latte @blackacresroastery

    One of THE best coffee experiences I've had in a long time! The Gingerbread Latte was amazing and the warmed almond croissant was the perfect blend on flaky and decadent! Definitely returning to the Greenmount location again and again!

When looking through the menu, I noticed the brisket panini had been removed. I asked the staff about it, but they weren't sure why it was no longer available. That sandwich was actually what I originally knew Llamas' Corner for after seeing it on TikTok, so I was really disappointed to see it gone. Hopefully they consider bringing it back! I also ordered two iced lattes, one with oat milk, boba, and caramel, and another with oat milk and pumpkin syrup. When I received them, both drinks had boba even though only one was supposed to. When I asked for the pumpkin drink to be remade, one of the baristas (the women in the pink long sweater) initially poured the same drink over and attempted to hand it back to me instead of making a fresh one (the bar was not busy or backed up btw.) When I asked for it to actually be remade, there seemed to be a bit of attitude. She did make a fresh drink after I specifically asked whether new espresso shots had been pulled. That part of the experience was disappointing and concerning because if someone asks for a drink to be remade due to an ingredient that wasn't ordered, simply pouring the same drink into another cup doesn't actually correct the issue. While boba wasn't an allergy concern for me personally, it made me wonder how a situation involving an actual food allergy would be handled.

Inside is bigger than it looks and has a nice amount of seating as well. Since my time was limited, I didn't really get to explore the menu like I wanted, so I ordered a hazelnut latte and a ham & cheese croissant. Their croissants looked so good, I wanted one of each. They also had several toasts on their menu. I'll have to go back for sure! Th service was regular, you order, they tell you how much you owe and you pay. I got in my car and couldn't wait. My first bite was like a bite into heaven. Every bite was the same way, so delicious & delicate. I wish I had two. The latte was perfect, just the right amount of hazelnut. Kanom Cafe is a must try!

They serve Black Acres beans (a favorite of mine) and some seriously good croissants. I kept it simple with a standard latte and a butter croissant.

The interior has a cozy, minimalist style, and with Sunday morning light, the whole place felt like a warm, relaxed place to be. From what I could tell, there's space in the back to meet and greet the cats.

The decor was happy surprise - 70s vibes with cats everywhere! I've been to a few cat cafes, and they're all a little bit different! Affogatto is on the smaller side. You walk into the cafe area - coffee bar and a few two-top tables (there are a couple of tables outside as well, but it's definitely not a large cafe). Then there's one other room, a small one, where the cats are. I didn't get a coffee during our visit, but my friend did (she enjoyed her latte; I found it interesting that their syrups for lattes are self-service?). Visits to the cat room are in 30-minute segments. Because the cat room is so small, you and whoever else purchased a visit for your same time slot will probably sit right down on the floor to play with the kittens. When we visited, there were about eight kittens - and they were kittens! They were playful and funny. Compared to other cat cafes, it was definitely a smaller space. They also had fewer toys to play with. But since the cats were kittens, they were pretty great at entertaining themselves and us. But if you want a more leisurely experience where you can play with and pet some kittens and adult cats, you might want to check out a larger cat cafe with more space. However, any cat cafe is likely to be great - who can complain about any chance to meet, socialize, and play with adoptable cats and kittens?! Affogatto is a great little business, and I hope they stick around to continue helping Baltimore cats and kittens find good homes!
