    Iced mocha latte
    Katie C.

    Decided to explore a new coffee place and we saw this on the map! The location is nice, the inside is massive, and a good spot for studying or catching up with friends. Lots of little goodies from other local business like candles, honey, and teas. I ordered the cortado with the "vintage" seasonal sandwich, and my husband got the pastrami with an iced mocha latte. They were pretty good! I'm taking back one star because it was almost $40, a little overpriced for what we got. But not a bad visit :)

    This place looked super cute from the outside, and the inside has more of a café vibe where you seat yourself and order at the counter. My family got the bacon croissant sandwich and I ordered the avocado toast. The bathrooms were locked, so we had to ask for a key, which was a little inconvenient. My family also got coffee, and that came out in about 3-5 minutes, but our food took a lot longer -- around 20 minutes, which felt pretty long for what we ordered. Everyone in my family loved their croissant, but my avocado toast tasted weirdly sweet so the avocado didn't really stand out. The staff seemed chill, but the floors definitely could've used a vacuum.

    I've been to Clock Tower Coffee and Bakery a few times now. They're located right by my daughter's school, so it's an easy place for me to get a cup of coffee after dropping her off at school or pick up a gift card to give to her teachers for teacher appreciation week or Christmas. They have good coffee that is sourced from Ceremony Coffee Roasters in Baltimore, which makes amazing coffee. They also have some food and bakery options, although I've never gotten to try it. They have limited allergy information, which is a bit frustrating. I'd love to see them flesh out their ingredient and allergen information so I could try their food and it would be more accessible for more people with dietary needs. Their prices are pretty standard for a small café. There's also a small parking lot and it is in walking distance to the neighboring neighborhoods.

    I came here to grab coffee to hold me over in traffic and Clock Tower Coffee and Balery did not disappoint! It's actually a very spacious and cute coffee shop with plenty of indoor and outdoor seating. I ordered the blueberry brown sugar latte, and it tasted wonderful! It had the perfect amount of blueberry flavoring.. it wasn't too overpowering, but lingered after you took a sip. It tasted like they muddled the blueberry themselves, it was that good and perfectly balanced! One of my favorite coffee shops in DC also has a blueberry latte right now and they completely missed the mark while here..golden stars all around. They also have the most extensive syrup flavoring list I've seen from a coffee shop, so if I'm ever back in the area, I will be back to try a different drink and their food. I would definitely recommend coming here if you live in the area or are passing by.

    Bacon Breakfast Sandwich
    Christopher C.

    Nice atmosphere but seems a bit overpriced for what you get. $15 for a large coffee and bacon breakfast sandwich is a little steep. I came around noon and they were nearly sold out of baked goods. Maybe that's where their strength is vs the breakfast sandwiches.

    So the ambiance and esthetics of the coffee shop are really beautiful! They have ample seating both relaxed and for working which I like. I also like the vibe that it provides: promoting local items like candles, pretzels etc. The staff also friendly. The food was the problem for this visit and why I wouldn't come back which is unfortunate. I ordered online and got a text shortly after saying the food was ready. When I arrived it wasn't and they said I was waiting on one item which wasn't a big deal but the drinks were already made which means they were getting watery while I waited for the extra item. I ordered a waffle for my toddler and after waiting an extra 10 minutes they said it couldn't be made. I got a crossiant instead and when asked if it should be warmed I said yes but it wasn't warmed... I guess she forgot that fast. I also ordered an extra sausage patty on my sandwich for my toddler and when I got to the hotel that was also missing. So no waffle, missing sausage that was paid extra for and when my husband took a bite of the donut he said it didn't taste fresh at all. We won't be back unfortunately but if you're looking for a spot with good coffee options and a place to work definitely come here.

    Pumpkin and matcha!

    You can go no wrong with their chai. I'm a chai picker and this one, I love! Their matcha was pretty decent. You can leave it bitter or sweetened it to your liking!. I got their avocado toast once and it was very topped well and filling! The kids enjoyed their donuts. Such a cute little coffee shop with some merchandises, sweets, savory and yummy drinks! Friendly staff too! The service was just right.

    I don't use the term "Hidden Gem" often but I feel like this may be one! This is a perfect location to get some WFH tasks done, take a break, or meet up with friends! The vibe is amazing! The customer service was amazing and the food was fantastic!!! It's located not too far from BWI and easily accessible from several highways. Be sure to check them out!!!

    Cinnamon dolce latte and Clock Tower Iced Cappuccino
    Brandon J.

    We love the drinks at clock tower. The establishment uses quality coffee and the baristas are good at customizing the drinks to every patrons liking. On this visit we tried a special menu item, the cinnamon dolce latte which was deliciously sweet but not overly sweet. The iced cappuccino was very tasty as well and had the perfect chill. Many students of the school nearby come over once school lets out and hang out with their friends. We've enjoyed having clock tower as our local coffee shop. It's the best one near our home.

    What the world needs now is love, sweet love, and more locally -owned coffee shops! I was glad to see this new (opened in Oct 2023) coffee shop open up. It has so much potential with a great location, cool digs, awesome patio, full kitchen capabilities... For me it fell a little short of great. I'm not sure if they bake fresh on site but it didn't quite smell of it. There were a handful of options (10 I'd say?) displayed that I passed in favor of an egg white and veggie breakfast sandwich. It was made fresh, for sure. But the flavor and egg texture were somewhat lacking for me (sundried tomatoes and more spinach would have really gone far...maybe some sauce too?) I was excited the sourdough bread but it wasn't toasted or grilled which somehow seemed like a missed opportunity. Cappuccino was full bodied and came out quickly. The two people working the counter were also friendly and cool. I sat there for work and noticed it was eerily quiet: they mentioned their sound system isn't working in the front area. I hope they fine tune some things as I really want to love this place!

    Latte

    I want to support this place SO BAD because it's so nice to have a place that isn't a Starbucks.... But the coffee is consistently terrible. It shouldn't be, because they use Ceremony beans and those are the best! But today I got a lavender latte with oat milk and it's so bitter, it looks and tastes like a regular iced coffee rather than a latte. I shouldn't have to add more oat milk when I get home (especially because this is a $7 drink), but I did and took pictures for comparison. A latte should be mostly milk! Please yall, I beg, train your baristas more

    Stopped by for lunch and ordered the Turkey sandwich, hot latte, and a couple of pastries. While the sandwich was good value for the cost, the taste was lackluster. It felt like something was missing. The latte was about the same. I ordered a bear claw and an apple turnover to go, but later discovered they had accidentally given me a cherry turnover. Despite the mixup, the pastries were the highlight of the meal. I tried a bite of the bear claw at the cafe and the woman working noticed I ripped the tab of the box and offered to put it in a new box for me, which was very nice. There is plenty of parking and outdoor seating for when the weather is nice. I would come back for the pastries but give a different sandwich a try.

    I miss the Baltimore Coffee & Tea. Thankful we got this place that came into the neighborhood to fill that coffee void, but it's very different to say the least. It's a mix and match of coffee and 7 Eleven vibe. Limited coffee selection at that. The decor is nice with calming green and gray, but the random items spread throughout, like battery, cough drops, candy, sodas, is a bit strange. Not the friendliest staff. Overheard a couple of staff talk very bitterly and unkindly (like wishing the customer to have a flat tire) about a lady that had just existed the shop. Not sure what happened but made me feel anxious and uncomfortable.

    Doesn't look like it but it's feta and spinach

    Way overpriced and got the order wrong. Ordered 2 coffees and they screwed them both up. Pastries were stale.

    Great to have a coffee shop in the neighborhood. The food and drinks are a bit inconsistent, but when it's good, it was tasty.

A few folks were having brunch in the dining area, which was mainly decorated with fleur de lis banners. I overheard the chef calling out from the kitchen that they were out of red beans and rice, which sounded like it was a popular dish. There are lots of other Cajun-style offerings. Though it was a week after Easter when we went, the sign out front was still promoting Mardis Gras (50 days difference). When you walk in, there are pastries in one display case, but you walk further down to order, which made it a little awkward to say "hey, can we walk back down and I'll point to which baked goods I want?" But the guy behind the counter obliged and we picked out a few items. The pastries were fine. A croissant, pain au chocolat, and chocolate cookie were all good, but nothing spectacular or standout from what I might find elsewhere. If I come back, I think I'll try some of the sandwiches or breakfast items.

The menu was overwhelming and the employee at the register did a good job of walking me through the breakfast items and what was popular. I settled on a bacon egg and cheese croissant with a small coffee. I also ordered a French dip with french fries for lunch. The breakfast was your typical run of the mill breakfast, nothing really stood out, but it was tasty. The French dip was prepared pretty well maybe it's because I waited too long to eat it, it could've been better. I recommend sitting down and eating in this restaurant. If you have time, their menu is pretty large and some other items did look appetizing. Breakfast sandwich 6/10 French dip 5/10

When we arrived we were seated quickly. A lot of items stood out to us on the menu so we went back and forth on what to order but it did take a little bit for someone to come take our order. Ultimately we landed on the peach cobbler French toast, cinnamon roll French toast, and a 1/2 and 1/2 lunch special with chicken & waffles and a cup of jambalaya. I was told the peach cobbler French toast was really good. The cinnamon roll French toast was prepared perfectly. Not soggy which was surprising given how much syrup and melted cream was on the plate. It was just VERY sweet. It also came with a side of eggs and brown sugar sage sausage patties. I loved the sausage patties and 2 was just enough. The chicken and waffles were good, the chipotle honey that came on the side complimented the chicken really well. The jambalaya had potential, but could have been seasoned a bit heavier. I also ordered the raspberry peach palmer and it was bombbb. I'd absolutely recommend another broken egg and will definitely stop in again if there's a location nearby.

Although they have a nice outdoor area it was warm and humid on this day and I wanted to sit in the air conditioning. I was seated immediately and provided a menu. I was a little surprised by the prices on the menu as I expected it to be a little less than it was. My server came by shortly after and asked about drinks and I got water. A few minutes later he came back and I ordered the peach cobbler French toast which looked good but probably look better in the picture then when it arrived. The presentation wasn't very good as it was just thrown on a plate and not really well presented to me. It tasted good it was very sweet but it was good. One of the things that reduced the star was both the presentation and the fact that the syrup that was presented to me in the cup had a layer of film over it and when I went to pour it over my French toast it wouldn't pour until I pierced the film covering the syrup. The eggs over medium and the well done bacon that I ordered came out perfectly and were very good. It was starting to get busy when I was ready to leave and it took a little longer for my server to bring my check and also then pick it up. All in all it was a good meal, and I will be back but I will try something else the next time I come in. I definitely recommend giving this restaurant a try.
