great ambiance and overall a nice study/work space. did not enjoy the food as much as i thought i would. Service was great though!

Have heard about ceremony and finally getting here. A spacious spot with plenty of counter style seating as well tables. Saw a good mix between working, studying & hanging out. What I really enjoy about the independent/local coffee spots is the flavor balance of their specialty and seasonal coffee drinks. Unlike the chains, you taste all the flavors and not just syrup/sweet. I've tried the Fireside Latte (seasonal)-how can you go wrong with smoked salt and walnut bitters as ingredients? Delicious and something different. Really enjoyed their Mocha Latte also. Friendly people making coffee. Like that they're open til 6. Parking can be tricky but have been lucky so far and found street parking on Park Ave. They have 3 other locations in the city and one in Bethesda. My coffee go-to in Mt. Vernon! read more

I tried this coffee shop per a recommendation from a family member. It was located in the Mount Vernon area and open pretty early. The shop was very busy in the morning with folks grabbing a morning coffee or getting work dine. I had an iced latte with oat milk, which I thought was very flavorful! I like that they do proper glasses if you're having it here. The service was great as well, and the workers were really helpful and nice! read more

Yes! Ceremony does coffee shop with excellent coffee, plenty of seating and a good work space well! I rotate between a whole milk latte or an iced matcha with almond milk... both are top tier. They also have pretty great pastries, bagels and other noshes to go along with your coffee. The wifi is free and fast. There are plenty of seats with ample table space to spread out and work. The service is quick! Only cons are - limited outlets at the actual tables, sometimes they bump the music too loud to really concentrate (only sometimes) and you have to pay to park on the street outside. Otherwise I am a long term Ceremony fan! read more

Delicious coffee and lovely, spacious interior! The service was fast and friendly as well. (2/26/25)

Ceremony Coffee had never been on my radar; I only learned about the location when it was selected as a venue for a book club meet up. When arriving, the staff was very welcoming and the initial ambiance was nice-the large windows allowed for lots of natural lighting and the beautiful minimalist décor created a quaint feeling. Though, the place quickly filled up, and as it is quite small inside, the feeling went from comfy cozy to 'squished'. There were also only a few available outlets for groups using laptops, so we witnessed a lot of musical chairs happening. Similar to the seating, there was a very limited menu for drink choices- with a few coffee house staples (americano, flat white, latte, plain coffee, drip coffee) and only a few winter specials (that honestly didn't seem that special as flavors). I opted for a flat white, and while the design on the top was magnificent, the coffee was very tiny quantity wise and the quality was average. Overall, I don't think the coffee was worth the pricey coffee house price tag, and the cramped ambiance isn't really somewhere I'd want to hang out for hours again. Fine for a 'try it once' meet up venue, but I wouldn't be a regular. read more

Great place to study because it's very spacious and they had a wall with a power outlet. They have inside and outside seating so best of both worlds. We were lucky enough to find street parking but there's a close parking garage near here too. I got a vanilla ice latte and it was pretty solid. I liked their lo-fi and chill music. Good customer service and I can see myself coming here again to study! read more

Tried their house special "white shakerato" ($5) basically a latte shaken in a cocktail shaker. It sounds silly as I write, but it really tastes like an elevated latte! Ambiance is mellow. The space while moderen isn't at freezing temps or blasting music at me which is all too often the case in cafes. read more

A decently large and clean space to work with plenty of coffee. I particularly like pub- height commune table for laptop holders . I ordered pour overs with plant milk on the side.

Got an iced Columbian natural pour over. The coffee was excellent and service was pretty quick, it was a nice place to get some work done. They have the daily pour overs on a different menu, which had the tasting notes and type of bean on it, which was very helpful. The coffee was smooth, with a nice blend of acidity and other flavors read more

Ceremony Coffee Roasters - Mt. Vernon - Pour over - Coffee Roasteries Near Me - Baltimore, Maryland

I keep getting drawn in here when I'm in Baltimore by the seasonal specialty drinks. I had the Northern Lights in spring 2022 (butterfly pea flower latte with, if I remember correctly, plum or hibiscus powder - there was also a version with half matcha and half butterfly pea but they were out of matcha) and the Starlight most recently (winter 2022/23 - oat milk latte with anise, cardamom, and 5 spice syrup, topped with edible glitter). I really liked both of these drinks. I'm sure a lot of the appeal is supposed to be that they're pretty but I just thought they tasted good and it was nice to have something unique. In terms of the aesthetics, the glitter on the Starlight was not really sparkly and would have been underwhelming if I'd actually cared about getting something glittery. A friend got the iced version and the glitter was barely visible, for the iced version since it doesn't float on top like with the hot, it definitely needed more glitter to actually look like something. The appearance was more important to her than it was to me so she was a little disappointed, although she also thought the taste was great. The Northern Lights was a very pretty drink though. The drinks are more expensive than your typical lattes but worth it for the preparation. For some reason though they gave us our drinks in disposable cups even though we asked for them for here and there seemed to be an abundance of house cups available. I also had the Hummus Toast on this visit. A lot of the food options that I was more interested in were out of stock. The ingredients used were of high quality and very fresh but it was just very plain. So I would definitely recommend it if you're looking for something simple, it just wasn't my style. My friend had the grilled cheese and it was just very plain, but I think she liked it. I would say what we got, especially the grilled cheese, was overpriced for what it was. The service was fine. My friend has a nut allergy and needed to make sure nothing came in contact and they assured her that they would be extra careful, and there was clear communication between staff on that. read more

Pretty good coffee shop. Stopped by as I have been on a quest for good coffee lately in Baltimore. Reddit directed me here. Place is massive inside, clean and simple. Service was great; fast and friendly even though they seemed to be short staffed on a Saturday morning. They offer various breakfast options as well as any type of coffee drink you could think of. I ordered the biscuit with bacon egg and cheese. Seemed to be prepared and heated up in a microwave. I wish I had gotten the avocado toast my wife did. I also ordered the vanilla peppermint latte, a seasonal item. Good temp and blend, but vanilla overpowered the peppermint. I would like to return to try other food and their drip coffee before ruling out this coffee shop in my rotation. read more

Ceremony Coffee Roasters - Mt. Vernon - a cup of coffee - Coffee Roasteries Near Me - Baltimore, Maryland

I enjoyed the coffee so much, I had to go twice in one week. The staff were very attentive when we came in and everyone was super nice. They gave us adequate time to decide on our order and got our drinks out just as quickly. We both got a trusty iced americano with oat milk. I have to say, visit one was a little bit better than visit two, but on both visits the espresso was strong and made to perfection -- not bitter and not watery. Also, they used good oat milk (I care a lot about the taste of my oat milk). Prices were very reasonable, $5 with a nice tip. My only complaint is the cleanliness of the cafe. Overall, it was clean, but the bathrooms and the crumbs on the counters/tables could use a little attention. I love the ambiance, though, and I wish I had found it earlier on during my time in Baltimore! read more

My weekly ritual includes a trip to Ceremony-- the week truly wouldn't be complete without it! This is one of my favorite coffee establishments in Baltimore! Great for catching up with a friend, grabbing a quick cup of coffee, studying, or getting work done. I can say that I've done all of the above multiple times! Currently, I'm trying to take advantage of the outdoor seating and soak up the sun while I get some work done. The staff here are pretty nice and I've seen them help many customers with drink recommendations. I'm a big fan of their seasonal drinks (currently toffee date and fireside latte are their offerings for Fall 2021). For Summer 2021, they had a delicious, refreshing, and unique berry matcha latte (and I hope they bring it back!). There was a lavender drink before that as well. Long story short-- I highly recommend their seasonal drinks! For my fellow alt milk lovers-- they have barista Oatly on deck and offer them in a lot of their seasonal drinks. As for snacks, they have different bread loaves (zucchini, apple walnut, etc.), vegan cookies, regular cookies, muffins, and varieties of bagels. Lots of cute merch as well on the side wall. Masks are required indoors and the staff always masks up as well. Thanks to Ceremony for consistently great coffee and a great space! See you soon...probably tomorrow! read more

One of my favorite coffee and study spots. The Mt. Vernon location is pretty large with lots of seating, both indoors and outdoors. I love how bright the shop is with lots of natural lighting, complimented by their white aesthetic. They have a specialty menu that is always changing with the season and encourages me to try something new every time. I especially like their lavendar specialty latte (spring) and the biscoff latte (winter). They also provide glass cups/mugs for dine-in. In terms of studying, they don't have a ton of outlets, so would recommend having the electronics charged before going. read more

This is a bit of a mixed review as I found the coffee to be absolutely delicious but the food has a bit much to be desired. The coffee here is overall pretty straightforward. The mocha that I got was delicious and not overly sweet. The avocado toast that I received was a different story as far as quality goes. The bread was quite tasty and appropriately sized and toasted. The avocado was far from ripe and rather hard and tasteless. This toast also came with a roasted cauliflower that was over cooked and served cold on top of the toast. I think they you could get away with the cold temp if it was properly cooked but I think a warm component here would really help the dish. The picked onions were far too thick and only marginally pickled. There would be very little difference if the onions were simply placed raw on the dish. Lastly I had ordered a poached egg on top of my toast that came beyond well done. Again, if the yoke was left runny it would have added a bit of heat and a rich binding element that would have greatly helped the dish. Overall, the presentation was great, but the flavor just didn't live up to the visual. This place is on the right track, just lacking a few execution details. read more

We visited Ceremony Coffee Roasters' Mount Vernon location a couple of times this past week when we were staying at a nearby hotel, and I love it. Great coffee (they have food options too, but we only got coffees on our visits)! During COVID, they offer a to-go order window on their large patio. It was great - good service, quick ordering, and our coffees were ready so quickly. Local coffee chain in a great location in Mount Vernon! We'll be back, I'm sure! read more

While apartment hunting in the area I Yelp'd "Coffee near me". Ceremony Coffee Roasters was the first to come up. I'm glad I stopped by. Because of Covid measures, everyone has to order and pick up from an outside window. There's about 5 tables or so outside to sit down though. All of which were occupied with no more than 2 people per table on during my visit. I asked for the baristas' favorite, I believe she said it was a Mocha Peppermint Latte of some sort. I like Peppermint but not a huge fan of Mocha so I went with the Mint Latte, small, light ice. It took no time for my order to be ready. I could smell the mint from my straw. It was delicious. Next time I'l get a medium. Although I could smell the mint before tasting, it wasn't heavy on the mint taste, get me? It was a perfect blend. It was also served with a small mint leaf inside. Cute! I shall return! read more

Great ambiance to study/work or just catch up with friends over food and coffee. They also have a large variety of beans that I was admiring. I got the cortado (espresso was using their single origin Nicaragua - a light roast, I believe) since it's usually my go to when I'm not feeling a cold brew or pour over. Sadly, I didn't think the cortado was that great. Overall, the coffee taste wasn't very strong. I definitely taste the fruitiness, but I wish the espresso flavor was a bit more deep. I felt like the taste of milk was very overpowering. Definitely would come back to try something else! I would like to buy a bag of beans next time. Their aesthetic here is great and minimal. read more

Great attention given to preparing all varieties of coffee drinks. Their pastry selection was limited, but my Kouign Amann was delicious.

This is my second time trying out this coffee shop (two different locations). This time I tried the vanilla peppermint iced latte and it was delicious and perfect for the holiday season. You can order it hot as well, I just prefer iced. I love that they have seasonal drink options. I also ordered the tofu "chorizo" Avocado toast with marinated tomatoes. The tofu chorizo was interesting by itself however a total bite with all ingredients it was really good. I loved the marinated tomatoes. A different take on an Avocado toast. I enjoyed it!! read more

I stopped here 3 times in my 4 days here, I went to the store day 4 but they weren't open yet. So already. Off to a good start. I got a nitro cold brew, dirty chai, and iced mocha as my drinks. Banana bread, cheese danish, and chocolate croissant as my pastries. I thought the nitro was rather bitter for being a nitro, but the chai and mocha were delicious. The banana bread had chocolate chips in it which was a nice addition and the danish and croissant were also delicious. Light, airy, fluffy and tasty. read more

Wait: A few people in line in front of me. Server: They are all pretty nice people.

I love White and Wood decor. This place is an instagram haven. Also, how neat is the work space? You can be at a coffee shop but actually work! Amazing. What a concept. I think for the ample space, the service, and the decor I'll take the light rail to get here a few times a year at least. Kudos! read more

This is a review for the Ceremony COVID-era order and pickup service booth. I went today to grab some of their newest Rwanda Kanzu blend (hibiscus, toffee and creamy notes) and pick up some of my favorite Peru Cenfrocafe (Chocolate malt, cashew butter notes). The service was easy and quick. They have a cute little socially distanced high-top benches area you can rest for some coffee. Heads up though there is no covering so can't be used on a rainy day. Also, I would love if there was the ability to try all of the beans they have with a pour over. It was only available for a select few. Since the coffees are expensive it would be nice to sample too before committing. Update- Pro-tip- I was so excited to experiment with these with our new Moccamaster we got for Christmas. I've found that for the Rwanda Kanzu coffee it is best with exactly 2 tablespoons of ground coffee per 6 Oz of water, but the Centrocafe was best to have 2.25 tablesoons of ground coffee per 2oz. Always fresh ground is the best. read more

In theory, this place is great. In theory, all would be welcome here. In theory, it is a good space to eat and work. In practice, not so much. I have tried to give this place a chance, even coming here half a dozen times over the last 7 months. Each time, I am more and more disappointed. The space is enormous, and well lit, so kudos for that. But, it is sterile. Bare. So pretentious and hipster, you can almost smell the ballsack stench wafting into your nostrils, oozing out of the skinny jeans clad patrons that seem to love it. The staff have been consistently unfriendly. The way that one orders food and drink is disorderly and confusing. Walk in, past customers, to the central coffee bar and food prep area. Walk to the side of it. Order and pay. Then, maybe go get a seat? Or, wait around for your order to be (softly) called out? Or, something in-between? The temperature is ALWAYS freezing. It has been snowy and rainy this week in Baltimore. Why not have the inside temperature be welcoming? Why turn up the air conditioning? Oh, wait... it is to drive OUT customers, amirite? Because you don't want us to hang out here? Why have your cafe be open past 5 if you don't want us around? Why have SO MUCH SPACE if you don't want it full? I've had lattes, mochas, teas, Americanos, pour overs, and their almighty version of avocado toast here. I hail from California, the land of avocados on toast. The version at Ceremony is oooookay.... but nearly $11?? Are they growing avocados in the organic garden out back? Is the bread gluten free? Are the hens that provide the eggs that will be poached (AND SERVED COLD!) hand fed? For a piece of bread slathered with a tablespoon of avocado topped by a freezing poached egg, I would expect the cost to be closer to $6. Seats are uncomfortable. Power outlets are sparse. The WiFi is UTTER CRAP. Why advertise WiFi when it shits out on your customers every 10 minutes? Why roll your eyes when we ask for you to reset the router? Also, not sure what's up with the code for the restroom. Are precious gems being hoarded in the back? It's not like it was clean... it was gross. Not coming back here. Go elsewhere, give your hard earned coins to well deserving, unpretentious alternatives. read more

If you're looking for a chill coffee space with a variety of drinks where you can set up camp to get some work done, look no further. This location has tons of space to chill with friends, read a book, or finally get that assignment done. All of the signature drinks are unique and flavourful. Highly recommend the dairy-free iced coffee option called Purple Rain. It's essentially an iced oat milk latte infused with lemon and lavender, topped with a blueberry oat milk cold foam. Will be going back to try the Egg + Cheese Biscuit. read more

The Mt. Vernon location has a bit more space than the one at Harbor Point. Both locations are similar in that you can find power outlets only in certain areas of the cafe. However, I enjoy cafes like these because there are a lot of other students doing work- its a good feeling to know you're not the only one having to devote your weekends to school :') My friend got the avocado toast which she really enjoyed. I got the kouign amann. My first time trying it and I'm a big fan. Reminds me of an almond croissant- flakey, buttery and slightly sweet. The drip coffee is solid. read more
