This was our first time at Café 1908 and definitely won't be the last. We walked in not really knowing what we wanted, but the woman at the register was super polite and patient while we figured it out. I really appreciated her vibe, and I noticed that when food is ready, she actually comes out from behind the counter to hand-deliver it to customers. That kind of small gesture goes a long way. The place is mostly carry-out, but there are a few bar-style seats if you want to eat there. The menu isn't your typical fast food lineup either, they've got some creative, non-traditional options that definitely stand out. We tried the Jerk Chicken Cheesesteak, Fried Chicken Sandwich, 1908 Chicken Cheesesteak, and Fish Tacos, and they were all delicious. Seriously, everything was seasoned well and packed with flavor, with the exception of our fries, which isn't the end of the world. The jerk cheesesteak had a nice kick without being too spicy, and the fried chicken sandwich had the perfect crunch. For drinks, we had the Strawberry Lemonade and the Peach Half & Half, both were refreshing and hit that perfect sweet spot without being too sugary. Overall, Café 1908 has a cool vibe, great food, and friendly service. It's one of those hidden gems you're glad you stumbled across. read more

Cafe 1908 is a hit every time. Everything is a go. I think one of my faves is like the jerk chicken and shrimp wrap.

We put in a pick up order online. The food was ready at the given time. The inside of the restaurant is small and casual with some seating. I chose a jerk chicken quesadilla and my bf chose the cheesesteak melt. We also ordered a side of fries. I heated up the fries a bit once we got home since they were a bit cold from the walk back; they were well seasoned and tasty. The cheesesteak and quesadilla were both good. I enjoyed the roasted peppers in my quesadilla. Overall, this spot was good and I'd order from here again. read more

I wish I had a photo to show y'all, but I ate most of it before writing this review! Ash was kind enough to give me and my friend some of the "Big Bang sauce" along with our order of Portobello cheese wrap, the Thai chili, shrimp, tacos, and the salmon seafood burger. It took about 12 minutes to get our food while Ash was juggling 1 or 2 other orders. As for the atmosphere... There's this brick wall and like this table, that's kind of made like a bar style underground joint. I love it and I definitely wanna make a monthly visit. read more

Cafe 1908 has been on my "to visit" list for awhile. I door dashed them last night. I ordered the cheesesteak and old bay wings. The cheesesteak came with delicious fries. The cheesesteak was a bit smaller than I expected considering the pictures and the price point but the flavors were there! It was very good and I devoured it! I would visit again for lunch time versus dinner since for dinner I'm usually looking for bigger portions. read more

The jerk chicken cheesesteak is delicious! It comes in a wrap vs a regular sub roll, and is served with fries. I ordered 1 with onions and 1 without, and the young lady working made sure to clearly label each box. She even dotted the i's with hearts lol The restaurant was clean and had a cute collection of plants in front. We easily found street parking to pull up and run in, but I can see parking being a little more difficult during busy hours. read more

A small carry out shop located in the city, they have creative spins on your typical foods. I ordered via door dish and also placed an order online, both were seamless processes. GLOWS: -The seafood salad is very good! On the expensive side for sure, but worth it for a special treat. -In store service was efficient and effective GROWS: -The curry chicken bowl was entirely too spicy. A menu warning would be helpful, as most curry chicken dishes come with adjustable spice levels (in the US at least). read more

The jerk chicken wrap with garlic & herb fries on the side is truly a masterpiece. I'm obsessed with this wrap and I truly crave it like every other week. Depending on your spice tolerance, some may think it's too spicy. But just keep in mind, when you order, it's jerk chicken and if you have a low spice tolerance, I wouldn't get it. Also, every time I go in there, the employee working the front is smiling and happy to greet customers. Can't go wrong! read more

I won't really speak on the service or the ambiance of the restaurant since I ordered pick up, and I believe they only do pickup. I wanna say the food was AMAZING. I wish there was more. Everything was seasoned correct, the fish was fried just right, and they surely were not skimpy on the crab. The bowl had a small kick to it cause of the sauce they used atop the rice. I spent $21 and it was definitely worth it. I will say this place can easily get you spending a good amount, but I'd say you're paying for quality. read more

** Yelp Review # 1,000 ** I knew this milestone review would be special and it certainly is. Located this business on social media. Saw my Yelp Family approved. Took a visit!! Let's start from the beginning. Parking can be difficult but not impossible, depending when you visit. Anytime is a great time for me. Cafe 1908 makes it convenient to order online using Toast and a few other sites, or you can call in. Either way, the food is ready pretty quickly. There's always a sweet young lady who answers when I call in my order, and she gets it perfect every time. Cool atmosphere upon entering and quick retrieval of food. Limited seating (4-5 stools against a wall shelf). I wish there was more seating so I could visit w friends and family. This business is 6 minutes from my job but 35+ minutes from my neighborhood, so it makes it hard to share w friends and family. I like to eat my greatness on site !! So far, I've visited 4-5 times ordering the Catfish Sandwich and the Salmon & Shrimp Bowl. I absolutely love their Garlic & Herb Fries !! Perfecto !! The in-house beverages are top tier!! I absolutely love this black owned business and will continue to support them as long as the consistency continues to stay at the forefront w unmatched customer service, quality ingredients, and generous portions. I think this was a darn great review to dedicate as #1000 aye !! If you haven't visited, treat yourself! You won't be disappointed !! read more

In my honest opinion both of these wraps look the same. Bangin azz cheesesteak my azz. $20 for a platter that looks like someone ate fries out of already. & the wraps are in no shape or form contents that amount to $15-20. I live 5 minutes up the street & this is my first & last time eating here. It's truly a poor experience, my fries should not be this soggy & low in quantity for $20. Buffalo Wild Wings would've given me more fries had I ordered a SMALL there. Anyways the wraps were a disappointment my sister wants me to add the deli could've done extremely better & she hates to say that she could've went to Wawa & got something cheaper & of better quality. Not to keep comparing but this is just our experience. 0/10 do not recommend. Someone suggest something different. In need of chefs, lower prices, and better quality food if this place wants more business in the future. read more

Update your hours with Blaine platforms for including Google/yelp. Numerous people walking up only to turn around because closed on Sundays!

Walk in place with limited counter seating. I asked their specialty. No quick answer, so I went with the fried catfish sandwich and had a bottle of fresh juice. The juice itself was good but must've cost $9 or so. Blue Magic. The sandwich was pretty good but not distinct. Fries had a nice crisp. I imagine I'll try them again and might revise upwards if something else impresses me. read more

I have to admit that I have quietly stalked this place for over six months through Instagram. The pictures looked so good, but I have been burned before by establishments that have a strong cult following, and the food is subpar. This place, my friends, is it and worth the internet following! My sandwich was so good that I stopped eating so that I could share it with my family, who agreed that my sandwich was fantastic. As for the service, I ordered online and picked it up, and to my surprise, the restaurant was empty. I am so glad I live far away from this place because I would eat here daily if I lived closer. read more

When I come to this establishment the food is always good. I always call ahead to order my food to eliminate me standing around. Sometimes when I call I might get an employee with an attitude while other times, I call and receive awesome customer service. One small hiccup with this establishment is that they are always out of stock with certain menu items. read more

I had the 1908 cheesesteak. I surprised it came as a wrap . Amazing cheesesteak. I will return next time I'm in the area

I visited the Cafe 1908 today . They have a new Garden Cafe on the top level that specializes in herbal teas and remedies. It's a quaint cafe with wine options and even an Oxygen Bar. Great for those you are healthy conscientious and those looking for a serene escape from the hustle and bustle of the day. I met the owner Lola who was awesome. She's super friendly, has a great personality and conversation. She informed me about their $5 wine specials. Even the wines they offer are organic with low sugar content. I received a complimentary herbal tea which was really nice. I went with the Roasted Dandelion Detox Tea. It was great. I'll definitely be stopping by again soon. read more

There's never a bad experience here, at least not yet and I hope it never happens on my end. This is my go to when I don't feel like cooking. Their wraps and fries hit every.single.time. I also love the lemonade. I say I need to order the seamoss so that's next on my to do list, but pleasee don't change. 5/5 for delivered food. read more

Worst customer service ever the one big guy was disrespectful as fuck when trying to pick up DoorDash he closed the store 30 minutes early

5 stars for sure! I stopped in exactly around 12, there was a small line, and about 3 people waiting for their food. Neat time I'm gonna order ahead. I'd recommend you do too. I was craving a fish sandwich so that's what I went with.., the catfish sandwich. Mannnn that damn sandwich was so good!! Piping hot, fresh lettuce, fresh tomato, softly grilled and buttered bun, special sauce, sautéed onions. Divine!!! Absolutely no complaints. The sandwich was accompanied with a garlicky, rosemary fries. I couldn't stop eating them. I wish they were hot like the fish sandwich, they weren't, more like room temperature. When I order ahead I'll ask for fresh fries. I had intentions on eating inside but there wasn't a place to sit. I didn't know. No worries! I ate everything in the car. Street parking, plenty of it, no worries. I'm coming back to try the cheesesteak wraps because that's what I heard everybody ordering. 5 stars for sure read more

This is a hidden gem! The first time I ate here, I was actually visiting the oxygen bar, Quiet Wealthy, located atop of this restaurant. They are sister businesses, and the owner informed me I could have food delivered there while sipping my delicious mocktails. Since then, I have been a few more times. I've gotten the jerk chicken wrap, different variations of the wings, and a catfish sandwich. The food is something you never knew you needed. The diverse combination of flavors makes these dishes nothing like the average carry out. The food is perfectly prepared and the customer service is always accommodating. Do yourself a favor and try them out... also, please do yourself another favor, and take time to enjoy the oxygen bar, Quiet Wealthy as well! read more

The food was good. I have the honey wings. I also had the jerk chicken taco. The waitress kept coming up to check on us, which was amazing ! The cafe is upstairs. We had it to ourselves since we came in the afternoon. It's pretty quaint, which gives it a very comfortable feel. It's very festive. I would recommend it for first meetings or a quick hangout. It's in Baltimore city -- literally the heart of the city. I would recommend for an early lunch. read more

My uncle was visiting out of town so I decided to take him there since I'd been seeing amazing posts on IG. Of course the burgers didn't look like the photos, but they were F'n delicious and I love a good burger!!! This will def be my go-to burger spot! We watched the cook prepare seasoned chicken and let me tell you, your chicken will not lack ANY flavor! Bruh! read more

A little high priced and long wait time... but food is made to order. The inside is small with no decor. It is set up more like a carryout food spot with one cook. There are 4 hightop stools in the small lobby, but the cashier was sitting in one so I would only count 3 stools. I feel like the cashier should not sit there when there are several customers waiting on food so that they can have somewhere to sit. I ordered the following to go and tried everything right away: cajun seafood quesadilla w/o onions (comes with shrimp, crab, salmon, peppers and broccoli), sweet potato fries, and strawberry lemonade. The quesadilla was very good, but it does not stick together. So all of the food falls out at every bite smh... I did not like the fries because of the season or grease used. The drink was homemade and was really good. Banana pudding was not available. A staff member arrived midway through waiting for my order and I guess she clocked in on the register... then immediately started bagging food orders and I did not see her wash her hands first. Definitely took off a star for this... read more

Decent spot near Penn Station to pick up a wrap and some fries. Not the healthiest menu in the city, but this part of the city is kinda slim picking on that front. Took 15 mins to prep my tasty cheesesteak wrap. The jerk chicken wrap is super good and WAY spicy. Not for the timid. read more

I had been wanting to order from here for a long time, but for whatever reason or another it simply didn't happen. Until last Wednesday. I was at the office and a few colleagues and I were discussing lunch choices. Burned out on the closest 4-5 options that we lazily always seemed to end up at, I suggested that just a couple more blocks away was this really interesting-looking menu that I had been dying to try. Sure enough, two of my colleagues agreed to give it a shot. We each went back to our individual desks and placed our orders. Turns out, we all ordered the exact same thing! The 1908 Cheese steak! I was weary at this point, figuring that if I had blown it on this choice of lunch spot, at least I could cower behind my individual order and defend the choice. But, alas, here we were, all three with the exact same order. As we got back to the lunch room, opened our lunches and took a look, a drop of sweat fell from my forehead. But the meal we were presented with looked delicious! The fries perfectly seasoned with a delightful blend of herbs and spices, the cheese steaks bulging from their grease-soaked (in the best way possible) wrapper (to clarify, the 1908 Cheese steak is served as a wrap). We each looked up, ready for our first bite... Ahhhhhh, marvelous it was! We gobbled them up in no time, and all three agreed that Cafe 1908 had made its way into our lunch rotation! We will be back! And I am eager to try other items... but dang, that 1908 Cheese steak is going to be top of the list, for sure! read more

Delicious food!!! I enjoyed the jerk chicken cheesesteak (asked for extra spicy) with garlic and herb fries. The wrap was filling with juicy meat and lettuce, tomato, and cheese.

Heard good things from this restaurant. I ordered through Caviar and got everything I needed. The store is a small shop that has some seating, but people would most likely would want to do take out from here. They were really nice and gave me both cracker and chips for the seafood salad. Food: Jerk Chicken wrap - pretty spicy and delicious. French fries were great with it's seasoning and it was crunchy out of the box. The chicken was tender and pretty filling. Seafood salad - pricey but a must try! The seafood salad is packed with seafood. There's crab and shrimp in the salad and you can use your chips and crackers to dip into it. Very refreshing and delicious. Overall, definitely a must try for this neighborhood. read more

Got around to Cafe 1908 after a few weeks of "watching" on IG. So glad I did!! Food was ready on time when I arrived (though they were sold out of a few things I wanted to try...next time.) The seafood salad wrap was formidable. Large chunks of seafood, nice flavor. But that jerk chicken wrap was out of this world!!! Stay away if you can't handle spice, but if you can, this is your wrap!! All the right kinds of spicy and plenty of sauce to offset. Truly a winner!! Can't wait to try the chopped cheese fish wrap and the salmon and shrimp bowl. read more

My office is downtown Baltimore so I decided to try Cafe 1908 after seeing great reviews. The order was delivered. When I opened my order, I was shocked at how small the sandwich was. My zoom on the picture makes it look at little better. The flavor was nice and I did enjoy the fries. In my opinion, the meal wasn't worth $14 plus when taking into consideration the size of the entree. read more
