I got milk chocolate sweetness, mild acidity, some citrus/fruit notes, and a little spice as well. The flavor got more complex as I worked through the cup. Balanced shot overall with good texture and distinct tasting notes. 5 / 5. The pour over was also solid. Full bodied, fruity and floral notes. 4/5.

Wait the coffee here is SO GOOD I've tried both the dalgona iced latte and an iced dirty chai and…read moreboth hit the spot. The quality is delish and somehow their ice doesn't melt the entire drink immediately. I stayed to study on a weekday and it wasn't too crowded. The music bumps too.

Come here to work or mingle. Also this place has a proper happy hour from 5-8pm, mon-fri! I've ordered the blueberry chai latte and the Lavender Matcha Tonic consistently since I've started coming here. So many options and syrup selections for whatever mood you're in. Most of the syrups are made in house. ;)

The food, unfortunately, did not live up to the atmosphere. It felt like the menu may be trying to do too much for too little, and my sandwich was underwhelming for the price. I honestly would have preferred a simpler or smaller menu, or paying a little more, if it meant it was done really well. I would still return for the space and coffee, and I genuinely hope they refine things a bit because the foundation is solid.

I highly recommend this coffee shop, their coffee is great (not too strong and not too milky)…read more Found this place while in Baltimore for the day. My partner and I enjoyed chilling here and playing some chess (they have some games you could play). Lots of seating, they have some food options (pastries and lunch), and great service. Will definitely come back when im in Baltimore again :)

It's very easy to order coffee from the website, and my coffee was at my door the next morning!…read more There's a small delivery charge, but to me, it's worth it. Why is it worth it? The majority of their coffees are organic, and small-batch roasted. They're sold as actual pounds 16 oz, rather than 12 oz at the grocery store. I've been enjoying their coffee since 2016. My favorite so far is Rock Creek Reserve, which I purchased at the Olney Farmers Market (recommended by the seller after discussing what I like and don't like). It's indescribably good, so smooth, and full-bodied. Next on my list is Charm City Blend, which I wanted to try solely on the name, since I was born and raised in Baltimore. Right now, I'm really enjoying Royal Blue Blend and it's so delicious and aromatic. Next will be Bird City Blend for obvious reasons. I've never been disappointed!

Cool local spot…read more Food is decent. I enjoyed a turkey and provolone with all the fixings. Great hummus. Coffee might be too dark for most. Come here for a good hang out spot.

Vent is one of the few places I trust to pour a mean specialty latte. Every time I visit, I am…read morechecking the menu for the current specials and deciding from those. During my most recent visit, it was the Bangkok that caught my eye. This drink, which was vegan as is, featured Vegan Condensed Milk, Espresso, Oat Milk and Nutmeg. It was a very light, not overly sweet drink. Score another one for Vent. The ambiance of Vent is pretty interesting as one side of its warehouse inside is a cafe with bar, table and bench seating and the other is the roastery. I love to order my drink and then watch the roasters do their magic. Vent has a lot of merch, bags of coffee, canned cold brews, etc for sale in their small shop. Previously I've purchased some of their bags and canned cold brews. Both were exceptional. I'm not in Vent's area often but when I am, I make it a point to stop for a visit.

I really like Vent! It's one of the few coffee shops around here that's open past 3pm which is…read moregreat for when I'm running errands and need a mid-afternoon pick-me-up. In fact, during the week they close at 6pm which is pretty generous hours for the area. Every time I come in, there's plenty of people remote working from one of the many cafe tables or at the bar. The ambiance is quiet and relaxing, unlike other coffee shops where music or conversations might be loud. The prices are typical for their speciality lattes, around $7 on average. I recently ordered their seasonal caramel latte and it was delicious. Perfectly sweet with a beautiful foam heart on the top! I wish I took a pic. I will definitely be back and need to add Vent into my regular rotation of WFH spots.

wow, this coffee shop is absolutely unbelievably amazing. I can't recommend it enough! While, I…read morehave yet to have any of their food selections, the coffee is easily the best I've had in the entire DMV. It's a nice coffee shop with tables that you could easily bring your computer to and the people are extremely kind. So it's a great environment for individual work or small meetings. As someone born and raised in Seattle, we take our coffee very seriously. Despite the fact, Starbucks was started there, we all despise it and prefer the smaller coffee shops. I say this to emphasize that I take my coffee and the quality and flavors very seriously. This place is well worth your time, even if it means going out of your way!!!

I have had a love and dislike relationship with Ceremony Coffee Roasters, but I feel like I finally…read moreknow where it stands for me. They offer some really creative drinks, and sometimes the flavors are a little too bold for my taste, especially when they mix things like juice into an espresso latte. But their holiday seasonal drinks get me every single time. We have tried the "Over the River and Through the Woods," the hot chocolate, the cinnamon crunch latte, and the mistletoe toasted marshmallow, and I have enjoyed all of them! I also appreciate that their hours are longer, which makes it a great spot to get work done. I will say the seating is not the most comfortable if you are in the booth with the wooden seats, but it still works when you need a change of scenery. The food has been hit or miss for me, but recently it has been more of a hit. I am still wanting to try something from their pastry bin because everything in there looks phenomenal! Looking especially at the sweet potato pastry! Overall, I think this place works well if you know what you are coming in for. The drinks are good, the atmosphere is solid, and the location right by the water makes it even better.

There's tons of seating, and even a little back room with some couches and a coffee table. The green walls with wooden accents around the space give a natural effect, and I think is conducive to focusing on work. I've got to echo other folks' reviews - the dirty chai is FANTASTIC. As was the hot coco, totally recommend. As for food, honestly not too shabby. The avocado toast had solid flavor with the red onions, but maybe not my favorite avocado spread. The breakfast sandwich was also good but I think the bagels toasted a tad too long. Between the drinks, the food and the vibes, I would say it's a solid place to grab breakfast and hang for a while!

This is my new spot! Their chai is my favorite in the city so far, it is creamy, flavorful, and I'd…read moreoverall highly recommend. If you're in it for the caffeine, the dirty chai is also great, both hot and cold! It's also a good place to work-- they had a surprising amount of table/desk space and the wifi didn't require a password which I think makes the WFH experience much more seamless and friendly for customers. A great local spot that I now take my friends when they are in town!

You can grab a hot breakfast and brunch, empanadas, pies, donuts, coffee, vegan items, dips, fresh bread, flowers, tea, dairy meat and, of course, locally grown fruits and vegetables. I went to the market for some fresh baked bread and bagels. While I was there, I was persuaded to purchase a vegan sandwich and some organic vegetables. I had to stop myself because there were quite a bit of other things that caught my eye too. The market is set up right below the highway and was very easy to get to. There is a public parking lot right next to it as well as lots of street parking. I found the Instagram page for the market and the website to be very helpful and informative with information like times, vendors and explanations on how to arrive. All of this adds up for a uniquely Baltimore experience with something for everyone.

It's located right in the city of Baltimore under the highway bridge on E Saratoga St. Street parking is free and i guess there is a way to reserve parking in line now. Mercy hospital has also offered free parking in an adjacent lot. The market is open on Sundays for the season and is such a delight. The vendors are very busy but eager to assist. The prices are fair. Need a coffee fix? The local Zeke's coffee is on site to assist! Many fresh foods, plants, and seafood to choose from. Definitely worth a visit!
