My favorite was the cornetto; it was just bursting with fruity flavor. Nothing was overly sweet either, which is perfect for me! Decor is cute! There is seating indoors and outdoors. The staff were friendly as well.

Food: A.) Pizza - one slice of cheese and pepperoni…read more Disappointed. Very greasy, soft crust. There are lower key spots nearby that serve better slices. B.) Arancini Palermo - Extremely disappointing. It was slightly burnt, and despite being described as containing a beef and pork ragu, I couldn't see or taste any meat. I initially thought we'd been served the Formaggi and even asked the server, who confirmed it was the Palermo after checking with the kitchen. The meat was supposedly very finely minced, but it was undetectable. Overall, the flavor was off. Service: They were nice, but slow and inefficient. When we asked for the check, we waited for about 10 minutes and no one had come. I ended up going to the counter to pay. After I had paid and returned to the table, my wife told me the server was walking around with a check, likely had forgot which table had asked for it. Ambiance: This was the best part. We sat outside, beautiful day. If you want to come to sit down outside on a nice day and have a drink, it would probably be enjoyable.

It's not too sweet! We highly recommend! Can I get back here before I head back to the west? :-)

I had my weekly coffee shop Saturday at Kanom Cafe. I'm from Baltimore and was visiting over the…read moreweekend, and chose Kanom because I'd never been there before. It's within the Johns Hopkins college campus & a neighborhood, so parking is really horrible. I ended up parking in a non spot and putting my hazards on. It's a cute little, but spacious place located next to an airport building. It's on the corner and has a nice little outside seating area with about 5 tables. 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!

Matcha crookie was so gluttonous, I'm glad they only do it on weekends otherwise I'd be getting this all the time. Their pineapple coconut croissant is so fresh (summertime pastry). Love their matchas too, always very balanced. Great vibes inside, always people chatting or working. Definitely one of my favorite bakeries in Baltimore.

I was very pleased with the Sunday brunch I had at Roggenart this week. The portions were generous…read moreand the dishes I ordered were excellent. My favorite was the tomato bisque soup which had a lot of vegetables and some tasty bread served with it. The veggie omelette was prepared just right and not over- or undercooked. I would highly recommend the beet salad. Be sure to get the large size whenever you get a choice, since you get a lot more than the smaller size for a modest additional amount. Nearly all of the tables were taken for most of Sunday morning and there was also takeout, showing how popular it has become.

Fresh pastries, good coffee and space to work? Yes, please!…read more Roggenart is a quaint, brightly lit cafe that has a multitude of baked goods and drinks. On this visit I redeemed an awesome Groupon deal for a sweet or savory pastry and a coffee beverage. I grabbed the bacon and gruyere bite and a cold brew sip. The pastry was huge and delicious! The cold brew great as well. In addition to regular priced goods, they do have a 50% off rack full of goodies! Service was fast and friendly. They also have many tables for those looking for a quiet place to do some work. Will patronize again!

Original large cannolis - 4pcs. Coconut Napoleon - 1pc…read more Vanilla Napoleon - 1pc. Chocolate cream puffs - 3pcs. Arrived in the afternoon during a busy weekend and decided to take out for desserts. My first visit and was underwhelmed by the service received. Rushed and transactional. Packaging was very sloppy and my napoleons were shoved to the side, making the clear clamshells very messy when I arrived home. If only the desserts were saving grace, but was left disappointed as well. As others have mentioned, the pastries do not taste fresh. The ricotta cream in the original cannoli tasted warm and gritty, the shell was stale. I noticed these were sitting out. The puff pastry in the Napoleons were soggy. The cream puffs shell was stale and chocolate topping was super sweet, unfortunately these were far from heavenly. Maybe another day, Vaccaro.

I was excited to try this place out. The positive is that the service was very friendly. The staff…read morewent out of their way to treat us well and were so kind to our kids. The vibe inside was relaxing. We were here for a few hours enjoying our coffee, tea and desserts and it was a nice place to pass the time on a cold, freezing day. The thing that dropped the review was basically the coffee and desserts. The coffee was fine, but just your standard coffee that you'd find at any gas station. The cannoli was overly sweet and the cookies we ordered felt stale. Interestingly, they charge more for sit down desserts vs. takeout. The servers were very sweet to share that we could order takeout and not have to pay the extra fee. Finally, not sure why, but there was not a lot of heating inside the restaurant. We ate with our jackets on, which was fine. But found that to be a little odd. Nobody seemed to know why they couldn't get the heat on. When it's below freezing, it would be nice to escape the chill. Overall, it was a nice stop. My kids loved it. But it was not without some quirks.

Even after they went viral they continue to provide a fantastic product, experience, atmosphere & vibe. Pro Tip* If you can find time to go during the week early you can really get in and out quickly. Great service as always. I usually go with an Iced Mocha- which is top tier Crab dip bagel - GOATed Honestly any pastry item from this bakery is great, they don't miss, Steph Curry type stuff. The staff is always nice and prompt. Highly recommend this spot.

I really want to highlight their cold cut sandwich. This is one of the best I've ever had. The salami, pesto, mozzarella and tomato complement each other perfectly.
