Cute cafe near Hopkins offering delicious pastries and craft drinks. Checked this place out on a…read moreFriday afternoon and it wasn't too busy at all. The space is bright and simple, perfect for getting a study session in. The pastries looked so good I had to grab one. I was instantly drawn towards the garlic cream cheese bun because not a lot of places sell that and it's one of my favorites. This one did not disappoint. It was creamy, sweet, garlicky, and soft. The worker offered to warm it up for me since I was sitting inside and that made it 10x better. I'll definitely be back to try their coffee and for more delicious treats!

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!

Baltimore Bakery Crawl stop #1 of seven places! My best friend, her college bestie, her husband,…read moreand I spent Sunday 2/2 exploring different Baltimore bakeries. I tried one thing here, so this review is based on that! Pekara was a charming and unassuming bakery. It felt very Eastern European and when we arrived around 10am, a lot of things were sold out. This is definitely more of a takeout spot, but you are able to sit there if you'd like. The person behind the cashier was really kind and patient. We tried the blueberry puff. And for what it's worth, this was the group's top pastry of the day. I love that they toasted it up for us. The pastry itself was buttery perfection and the custard inside was really nice. One of us bought sourdough bread to-go that seemed really delicious. I'd come back to this bakery to try more.

Got some of our favorites -Pain Au Chocolat, Apricot cookies, Bambolini Hazelnut & tried some new ones -Strawberry Walnut cookies, Artichoke, Mushroom, Spinach & Feta & Cheese Puffs, Galette (fruit) & a Chocolate Chip Scone. Everything was delicious! Also ordered a Cappucino which was tasty. Service was friendly and upbeat as always! Just found out they've opened up an extension of the bakery with table service offering breakfast, Crepes, sandwiches and pizza to name a few. Next time!

We grabbed a few pastries and then proceeded to walk up to the counter to order drinks. The cashier that helped us was ok but the girl ringing up another customer next to him was rude. We ordered four drinks - one hot matcha, one hot chocolate, one iced latte, and a hot coffee. Our drinks and pastries were good but the service was not.

The selection is vast. I selected the sweet potato half loaf, strawberry and cream croissant, guava bake, apple crisp, cheese and spinach croissant. Check out was quick despite it being a busy time.

Street and garage parking are available nearby and you can also place to go orders online or through delivery apps. This bakery is amazing!!

Doppio Pasticceria serves what is, without question, the best pizza in Baltimore. After trying…read moreroughly 30 different pizzas across the city, this one stands alone. The sauce strikes a perfect balance of sweetness, acidity, and richness, while the crust is exactly what great pizza should be--light, beautifully blistered, and finished with an irresistible crisp that gives way to a flavorful finish. Every bite is thoughtfully executed, and nothing feels overdone or out of balance. It's the kind of pizza that reminds you how simple ingredients, when treated with care, can be exceptional. If you're searching for Baltimore's best pizza, stop looking. Doppio Pasticceria earns a perfect 10/10. PS: Doppio, please respond to my DM for the sauce recipe

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 style inside was certainly redolent of Europe, and upon being asked my flavor preference I was directed towards a nutty Ferrero Rocher tart. The price was premium, but the taste and texture of this beauty were as well. My feeling has always been if you're going to eat dessert, it had better be top quality.

I thought they might not have many pastries left bc it was towards the end of the day, but there were plenty of beautiful options still available. The owner was very kind and described some of the pastries. There is some seating inside if you want to stay and eat, but I decided to take my pastry to go. I got the chocolate morning cake, which was delicious! It was similar to a cupcake, but less dense. I'm definitely going to come back and try some of the other pastries. Definitely recommend coming and supporting this small business!

It would have nice to be told that they came out on the other side, or simply handed to me since I was in your view. Also grabbed some lemon bites, which were good- strong lemon flavor though. This location sits in a market so its nice to grab what you want and still dine with your group.

The staff are always helpful and super friendly. I had to return my vegetable barley soup. It was so nasty. There was cream in it which didn't make sense to me and it certainly didn't help with the flavor. My wife agreed, it tasted nasty. I returned it and got the lentil soup. We still would come back and recommend this place.

This cafe has only been open a couple of months and deserves a lot more attention…read more Located in Greektown, the parking is a bit of a task. I had to park in a more residential section and walk over. The outside is very unassuming, but the the inside is very clean and aesthetic. We ordered the iced Ruya latte (made with an in-house blend of spices), an iced matcha latte, a Dubai chocolate strawberry dessert cup, the Ruya waffle (featuring 4 flavors), and the Ferrero Rocher waffle. The staff was very friendly and willing to answer any questions we had. The food and drink took a bit of time to come out, but it was all freshly made to order. Everything was absolutely phenomenal. The espresso was mild and the spices were similar to a chai. The matcha was high quality and creamy, and they had the option for non-dairy milks! The waffle was hot and fluffy and the toppings were super melty. And finally, the dessert cup was layered with toppings, so each bite had ample chocolate and pistachio. Absolute 10/10 and I will be coming here whenever I am craving a decadent dessert or a high quality latte!

The service? 10/10. THE DUBAI CHOCOLATE CUP? 10/10. The spot is also super clean, which makes the whole experience even better. I will forever come to this location for all my favorite drinks and treats. This is truly one of the best gems in Baltimore, and I hope to see them flourish as more people read this review. Just a heads up, parking can sometimes be a hassle depending on how busy the area is, but it's absolutely worth it.

BUT both times the crepe was fresh, perfectly cooked, fruit tasted sweet, and a perfect amount of chocolate. The place always looks clean and you can tell they are well organized. Had 2 different people take my orders and both were friendly and quick to answer questions. I did ask if they could make all their crepes gluten free and the answer was yes. Which was great for me. Just like anywhere else they do charge like an extra $1 but I don't mind. Although some crepes are already marked GF so there is no extra charge for them. While I was waiting for my order I did see someone ordered the rolled ice cream and it looked fantastic. Definitely on my list for summer.
