I just regret we had already eaten and were just popping in for a quick coffee perk to go. We will definitely be back. If I'm gonna be brokenhearted that the space no longer houses my favorite little indoor farmers market, then this is the type of new tenant that makes me a little less sad & bitter about it! The service was friendly and really fast, we loved that it was busy and they had plenty of employees to take care of customers. Unfortunately they didn't have a dark roast drip but the medium roast we got was good. Also their selection of tchotchkes, postcards and local souvenir/memorabilia was a real standout... for two people who typically don't buy that sort of thing , other selections were clever, fun/ny, and attractive . Both of us determined next time we're back in town The Bakist will definitely be the place to pick up local/Chesapeake Bay souvenirs (as well as coffee and baked goods!)

For my birthday my…read moredaughter had them deliver my favorite tea and a breakfast sandwich The drive spilled the tea so 1/2 a cup survived and the sandwich was uneatable. The sandwich was stuffed into a tiny box making it impossible to remove without falling a part, she ordered a game egg and cheese and I received a wet ham slop It was wet for some reason and no egg so not sure what this was The whole experience was gross and very expensive for food I couldn't eat and a drink that was spilled before delivered

Great service and prices. Food/menu is great as well. My favorite is the chicken Caesar wrap.read more

I tried almost every store on the island and even a few in Annapolis without satisfying my tastes... until I found this amazing little truck! The cold brew has a rich, full body feel and the flavor is deep yet mellow. Perfect for sipping as you walk or drive in the warm months. The woman that took my order was delightfully welcoming. I can't believe I only stopped by on my last day! I will surely be back if I'm ever staying nearby or driving through because the convenience of the drive through style is fantastic. The wait might be long if the cars in front of you have a large or complicated order but if you're not in a hurry it is worth it. Not super walkable though based on the location.

Even though it was in the warmer his bacon sandwich was room temperature? I got a mocha and it really didnt taste like anything.

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!

Representing 2025 in alphabet series, L is for (A) Little Lovely Coffee House. It was about a year…read moreago in June 2025 my girlfriend & I visited this cute coffee shop at the Queenstown Outlet Mall. We were on the way to my friend's annual get together every year in late June at her family's eastern shore house near St. Michael's. Unfortunately, 2025 was the worst year for the trip for various reasons since I started going in 2016. My girlfriend drove us out there. I was done with my 1st week of chemo on that Friday. Of course traffic is horrible coming from Howard County (oncology office) on a Friday in the summer in the early afternoon. We got across the Bay Bridge, and I was monitoring traffic saying there was a major delay due to an accident just past Queenstown Outlet Mall. I suggested stopping to WiFi and get some coffee since we were both tired. Staff was friendly. Prices were pretty reasonable compared with most places in the DC-Baltimore area. I got some coffee drink, perhaps a dirty iced chai. Wow, this coffee shop beats almost any other in the BAWA area. I connected to their WiFi for maybe an hour to check my Fantasy baseball, emails, etc. But I was upset because I left my computer charger at the chemo chair. Traffic cleared up decently enough, and we left to go to Walmart in Easton to get a universal charger for my laptop. Unfortunately, my g/f car died in Easton, had to have towed to Annapolis, which was the start of what ended up being a bad weekend. Thankfully, my 3 rounds of chemo was a success. This annual trip in 2026 is almost guaranteed to be better. I'll need to revisit A Little Lovely Coffee House again, but this year's trip the timing will be too late.
