    Salad was not super fresh, but the matcha and Halloween drinks were good. Friendly service and good jazz music, great place to work.

    This was from my third visit to Botanic cafe and I can't say enough great things about this local coffee shop. The location is next to a ton of local businesses and brings something truly artisan to Leonardtown. I am a vegetarian and am never disappointed by their rotating options and delicious staples. The coffee is the best in town. They have creative options and classics and they are all well made. I will say this is not a fast service spot - and for the quality you are just fooling yourself if you expect it to be. The warm interior and pastry case offer plenty to enjoy while you wait. Please give this local business a try next time you are in the area.

    Love that I found this place. Been here twice this week and food is perfect. I got the turkey club yesterday and it was fantastic. Today we had a group and we loved all our food. It is the small touches that really make this place stand out. Great sodas, tons of different drinks, and great options for lunch. Reminded me of eating in Napa, CA. Worth the effort to find a parking spot.

    Super cute smaller place a little off the main area of town. The people are great and the coffee was good and well worth the short walk.

    Update: I've returned many times to try their lunches, smoothies, and coffees. I love all the fun coffee and tea drinks, they really get creative and bring new specials frequently. My favorite so far has been the BEAUTIFUL butterfly pea matcha!! The food is great as well. The salads are consistently good, but the sandwiches really shine. I got a simple grilled cheese and tomato soup and was greeted with a great iteration of the classic. I'm not one for overly chunky or creamy soups, and this one was the perfect consistency to keep the great taste. With the sandwich so fresh it had grill marks, theres no better combination.

    The best grilled cheese and tomato soup I've ever had, the hibiscus lemonade was good too but very sour (which I like) If only the place was bigger because it sure was packed!!!

    Super cute little cafe on the side of SOF (Shepherd's Old Field Market). They are newly renovated; there's seating available inside and outside. The staff greeted us when we entered and exited and were patient as we decided what we wanted. The food came fairly quickly considering it was freshly prepared. We came at 2:30 on a Saturday afternoon. I got a Turkey cranberry and Brie panini and it was delicious! The flavors were perfectly paired and the melted Brie was my favorite part. It came with a small side salad of mixed greens, cherry tomatoes and balsamic. With your sandwich you can choose chips as a side instead. My family got the Mac and cheese and it was okay. The cheese taste wasn't as strong as I prefer. I also ordered a special - chai Irish cream latte. The Irish cream taste was strong and took over the chai flavor, but it was good. They make chai with a tea bag and not powder or syrup, so I love that it's less sugar. I look forward to returning here and next time I might get a dessert. (Many looked delicious) There is a single bathroom in the cafe (or you could use the larger bathroom in SOF).

    It tends to slip our minds to dine in Leonardtown even though we're always in the area-we usually…read moreend up picking somewhere familiar when we find ourselves in the area and are wanting something to eat. However, yesterday we were extremely intentional about wanting a sit down dining experience somewhere in Leonardtown that we haven't been. We happened up on Sweet Bay. My husband made mention that a coworker of his said the food was really good here (he's formally in the restaurant industry so we trusted his opinion). Upon arrival we asked for a table for two but nothing was available. We were offered bar seating-which we accepted. Now to know me is to know while I enjoy a good cocktail, for me, sitting at the bar is never my first choice. The seating at the bar can be a bit uncomfortable; especially for the experience that we come to have. And when it's a new place we're trying, we like to run the full gamut-appetizers, mains, cocktails, and sometimes even dessert. We were really looking forward to a full dining experience here, and that would mean sitting here for a while, but we wanted to try the food out so we still decided to dine in. We were greeted by the bartender..his name is Josh. He was attentive without being overly so, he made great recommendations and he was really personable and commanded that bar. He explained the specials and he really was in tune with patron's needs. We started off with two appetizers-the oysters cargot and the spicy shrimp and my husband got the cream of crab soup. While they were all great, for me, the soup could benefit from some seasoning; specifically salt and maybe chive and/or even a sprinkle of old bay atop. The soup was creamy and rich and the sweetness of the crab definitely came through, but one or all of those additions would have elevated the soup. The only other ask I would have is that same bread that's served with the soup, be served with those oysters. I snagged some of my husband's bread and dipped it in the sauce that houses the oysters and it was a perfect bite and accompaniment to that dish. For our mains, my husband chose the special which was short ribs and a couple sides that came with that and I chose the Faroe Island salmon that came with pineapple, salsa, and cilantro lime rice. Both of our meals were fantastic-tens across the boards...wouldn't change a thing. The food was flavorful, cooked to perfection and well proportioned. We were so thoroughly impressed with this meal and while we normally wouldn't opt for dessert, we did-well my husband heard key lime pie and that was all it took. I of course take a couple of bites and can say with confidence it was probably the best Keylime pie that I have ever had...and I'm not the Keylime pie lover in the relationship, my husband is-but it left me in awe, and he loved it as well. I liked it so much that I got one to go for my mom, another Keylime pie lover, because I knew she would just love it. Spoiler alert, she did! Besides the food we opted for water and I enjoyed the strawberry spark cocktail I think it was called and a Long Island iced tea-both of those were executed flawlessly as well. Josh is great at what he does. All of the staff was friendly. The environment was cozy and intimate, and was reminiscent of the five dining experiences we have in Georgetown, downtown Bethesda and the like. It was such a great space. I am so happy we came in and we cannot wait to do it again. I would even sit at the bar again to chop it up with Josh!

    Food was great. Not loud with tvs and chatter. Above my…read morenormal budget but for a special occasion, yes!

Now let's talk about the star of the night: the veal carbonara with the freshly made bread in house, hands down the best I've ever had. The veal was incredibly tender, the sauce silky and rich without being heavy, and the balance of flavors was spot‑on. It's the kind of dish that stops conversation for a moment because you just need to appreciate how good it is. Between the exceptional service and a carbonara that sets a new standard, this place has earned a permanent spot on my favorites list. Highly recommend for anyone who loves authentic Italian cooking done at the highest level.

My husband got chicken Marsala, again no flavor at all. The best thing we ate there was the Caesar side salad. Meatballs were so-so, wings no different than what you can find anywhere else. Got a drink, nolis punch or something...didn't drink but a few sips. We got a pizza to go.... Hoping the pizza would be a reason to go back....nope! Don't know why everybody was so upset at the thought of this place closing because Olive Garden tastes way better. $140.00 of buyers remorse!
