This is the perfect cafe for studying or having a nice chat and hangout with! The cafe baristas are welcoming and friendly as soon as you step in. The matchas are very tasty, especially if you get them with almond milk or oat milk. If you like your drink sweeter, then get the 75% sweetness! The coffee cake roll is comparable to the Korean bakery goods-- not too sweet and a nice touch of creaminess, with a slight taste of coffee. The pita bread was fluffy and nicely cut. When paired with the olive oil hummus, it was the right amount of savory! The interior is aesthetically pleasing, modern, and spacious. There are many different types of seating areas. The only downside is that there are limited plugs to charge your electronics. However, there is free WiFi! Definitely bring a sweater or cardigan to keep warm if you get cold easily. The bathrooms are also quite spacious and clean. It is much quieter in the morning until lunch time. If you are looking for lively hours, come later in the day after 12pm or on a weekend. Highly recommend this lovely cafe! I will definitely come back again to try more of their menu and to study! read more

We stopped by Cube Coffee and had a great experience! We ordered the Iced Strawberry Cloud Matcha, Sparkling Hibiscus Orange, Olive Bread, and the Ferrero Rocher Milk Cake. The Iced Strawberry Cloud Matcha was refreshing with a nice balance of earthy matcha and sweet strawberry, topped with a light, creamy cloud. The Sparkling Hibiscus Orange was crisp, floral, and not overly sweet--perfect for a warm day. The Olive Bread was fresh, soft, and savory, making it a great snack alongside the drinks. The Ferrero Rocher Milk Cake was definitely the highlight for dessert lovers--rich, moist, and packed with chocolate and hazelnut flavor without being too heavy. The café has a cozy, welcoming atmosphere that's perfect for catching up with friends or relaxing with a drink. The staff were friendly, and everything was beautifully presented. We'll definitely be back to try more from the menu! read more

Whenever I'm in a city I don't visit frequently, I have to find a place to get my matcha fix and Cube Coffee came through. Cube Coffee checked all the boxes for a cafe I will definitely be visiting again. Aesthetically pleasing decor with a modern touch, handcrafted drinks which all sound like they'll tickle your fancy and tastebuds, and a nice staff. They had quite a few specialty drinks I wanted to try, but since it was hot outside, I settled on a Blueberry Pancake Matcha. And I must say this drink was delicious. Cube Coffee's homemade blueberry sauce complemented the matcha and oat milk so well. Not overly sweet, just right. I can say the Blueberry Pancake Matcha will be on my list as one of my favorite matcha drinks so far. Cube Coffee is a neat little hidden treasure in Ellicott City that is well worth checking out. read more

What a beautiful coffee shop, that I never would have found if I hadn't heard about it to check it out. It's down some stairs in an outdoor strip mall type of center. The seating area is spacious with many different types of seating - tables with chairs, booths, couches, counter, and (shoes off) cushions on carpet with low tables (my favorite). As with most coffee shops, you order at the counter and they'll call your name when ready. You can order through a screen or with a staff member. The first time I came here, I got an iced rooh afza matcha with oatmilk, which was a beautiful and delicious matcha and rose cream drink, topped with dried rose petals. I've also tried the iced mango matcha and wished there was more mango cold foam because it was very tasty. The salted mocha latte and baklava latte were also good, though I think the baklava flavor would come through better at regular sweetness (though I always get 25% sweetness). To eat, I've tried the pogaca - a sort of heavy and hearty (could tell it was made with oil) Turkish bread with egg wash and black sesame seeds on top. I got the olive on which had black olive slices inside It was pretty good but I probably wouldn't personally seek it out again. The rasmalai milk cake was very nice, like a very moist tres leches with cardamom, pistachio, and rasmalai style spongy cheese on top. My favorite was the honey cake, just excellent flavor and creamy texture, great dessert for sharing. There is complimentary water available (pitchers and cups) if desired. I enjoyed myself and found the music and atmosphere to be relaxing. Good place to take a break, do some work, or catch up with friends. They have some board games too! Though I think the scrabble is missing some letter tiles. read more

OK cafe lovers, here is the scoop on Cube Coffee ~ Cube Coffee was eye catching for their set up of different seating options and coffee. I finally made my way to this cafe to see what they have to offer. I went on Saturday morning shortly after opening and found a few people were already sitting down enjoying their morning coffee. The two staff members greeted me so it was a warm welcome from the jump. I decided to use the kiosk to order because I knew I wanted to scroll through the menu. There are many different options of drinks and pastries. I noticed there were options to jazz up your drink. Many flavors of syrups to choose from. I was there for the coffee and didn't even think of pastries; however I did end up with a little bite to pair with my coffee. I ordered the CARDAMON SPANISH LATTE hot adding BAKLAVA syrup. You read that correctly. Baklava syrup, yes please! This latte turned out pretty good. As I scanned the menu I realized there were eye catching pastries so I had to try the BAKLAVA. It was a baklava kind of day. I went with the PISTACHIO BAKLAVA that came in two tiny yet mighty pieces. It was so yummy. Lite crispy and pistachio flavor was apparent. My lovely company ended up getting the CARDAMON SPANISH LATTE cold as is. No added or unique syrup. I tried it and agreed it was tasty. We ordered for dine in so the drinks came in glassware vs take out in to go cups. When you enter the cafe you'll see middle shelves full of items to purchase. Whether you want to add to your kitchenware or grab a gift for a friend; there are options. The cafe has different options for seating for a different vibes. If you're there to hang out with friends there are cozy seating with cushions on chairs, couch, or floor seats. Then you have traditional table and chairs for maybe a meeting with a client or mutual friend. There are booth seats that are what I'd say engraved in the wall type of cubby seating - these would be good for a privacy coffee date or perhaps working remote. I observed different types of gatherings from families (with and without young kids) , young friends, middle age friends, a gentlemen that looked like he was working remotely, a couple enjoying morning coffee. The staff and service were great. Overall, I'd say this is a nice addition to Route 40 in Ellicott City closer to Catonsville. The parking lot is free and the cafe can be found in a business place on the bottom floor. read more

A great new coffee shop in Ellicott City. The space is gorgeous and welcoming. People are there hanging out, working, and just relaxing. The ambiance is kinda loud, which can be good for distracting but not noisy where it would be difficult to work. I love the layout because there is something for everyone. Booths, small tables, an area where you can sit on the floor and work/have coffee with others. We ordered the Rooh Afza matcha and the Manhattan soda, which are very well crafted. The Rooh Afza matcha balances the sweetness of the syrup and the flavor of the matcha. The Manhattan was really refreshing and delicious and not overly sweet. Definitely worth checking out and I will be planning on working there from time to time! read more

So I decided I wanted a little something sweet, and since I'm a coffee lover, I decided to try Cube Coffee. First, the space itself was gorgeous, and I love that they're open until midnight--perfect for late-night coffee runs! That said, there were a few things that could have made the experience smoother:* Taking customer names when ordering would help identify whose drink is whose.* It should be explained that the chai is batched and not made to order, so milk substitutions aren't available.* When swapping out drinks and adjusting charges, the pricing should be double-checked for accuracy. I could tell the employee taking orders was new, so hopefully these are things that improve with time. I also accidentally picked up the wrong drink and held it for over a minute. The barista asked if I drank from it, and after I said no, it was placed back on the pickup counter--which made me a little uneasy. As for the drinks, I ordered the Mango Matcha with oat milk and a cake pop. The matcha was $7 and the cake pop was $4.50. Personally, I wasn't overly impressed for the price point, but the atmosphere was definitely the highlight of the visit. Overall: Beautiful space, great hours, but the service and value could use a little work. read more

Maybe it was the drink I got, the Madani latte, but I wasn't the biggest fan. I will give this place another shot with either Matcha or another coffee drink. The interior is incredible and I love the vibe and location of this place. Howard County really needed a good, local coffee shop like this and I'm so glad this was made. I expected my latte to have a date flavor due to the date syrup. Even though I asked for less sugar (half of the portion) it was still too sweet and all I tasted was cinnamon if anything ...the coffee also tasted odd to me. I went on a weekend kind of around 6 PM but the service was very slow. It took a long time to get my drink which I did not mind but other customers got irritated. I will give this place another try, but I was a little disappointed unfortunately. read more

The honey cake is absolutely amazing the cream in between the layers of cake is so light and sweet and fresh, and the cake as a whole is just delightful and it's hard not to gobble it up in 3 bites. The service is a little lacking and cold. I'll still be back for the honey cake though. read more

This was such a great surprise of a coffee shop. When you arrive it looks as though it is a small hole in the wall because you walk down some stairs to the door, but it is spacious, bright, variety of seating, and welcoming. The menu was exciting because of such different variety of specialty drinks. They have the standard coffee drinks, but the specialty ones are just very different than your average coffee shop. The Madani latte that I got had date and some other ingredients and it was just fun to drink. I looked forward to every sip. Everyone I was with also loved their drinks. I will definitely be going back. read more

So glad I took the time to check this place out! I've been seeing great things on social media about this new cafe and it lived up to the hype. The cafe is very large and has a lot of great seating options, from stand alone tables, to floor mats, to cubical style booths. Open, communal, and natural lighting add to the calming ambiance of the cafe. You can either order with a barista or on a tablet, and I got the iced Madani latte (date syrup, cinnamon, and vanilla) and a Sucak Pogaca (beef sausage bread roll). The barista was kind enough to recommend her favorite Pogaca because I was unfamiliar with the pastry. Both were delicious, the pastry was warmed up without me asking and the latte was smooth, sweet, and delicious. I sat inside and did some work on my laptop, and they had the world cup game playing on a large tv inside as well. 10/10 I will be back for the cozy vibes and delectable bites. read more

I was really excited to check out Cube Coffee because I heard about them opening a few weeks ago and saw lots of really delicious-looking pastries calling my name! My partner and I have kind of made it a hobby to visit as many cafés as possible, so this spot was next on our list. This was a super quick visit because we were short on time; however, I really enjoyed the latte I got and appreciated that you could customize the sugar percentage. If you don't love your drinks too sweet, it's nice to be able to adjust it. The only hiccup we had was that we both ordered our drinks iced and they ended up coming out hot, but honestly, considering it was a chilly day, that was probably accidentally the right choice for us lol. I also tried the chocolate mousse cake. It was much smaller than I expected, but the flavors were really well balanced and it wasn't overly sweet. What I really loved about this place was how spacious it was. I thought it was really cool that it also serves as an event space that you can rent out for different occasions, and they had a ton of seating, which definitely makes it feel like a great café to hang out in. We also got our drinks fairly quickly especially considering how busy it was! If you're in the area, they're definitely worth checking out. I already saw a few other drinks calling my name for next time, like the mango matcha drink and a few others with more inventive coffee flavors beyond just mocha and vanilla. read more

Excellent coffee. Excellent pastries. Excellent vibes. Cube Coffee is a modern take on a Turkish cafe. The first thing you see when I entered was mix of high rise chairs, lounges, and even floor seating offer a diverse way of just sitting and enjoying your coffee, which was a setup to their menu. Classic cappuccinos and lattes mixed with matcha and unique creations. The madani latte is their take on a sweet coffee drink, made with dates, cinnamon, and a hint of vanilla. The baklava latte is more aromatic, made with orange blossum, honey, and a variety of Turkish spices. Both are excellent hot or cold. As of writing, they have a limited mango match drink, which consists of their standard iced matcha and topped with a mango infused cream. It's a perfect sweet treat for the Spring or Summer. Cube Coffee offers a large variety of health(er) and decadent snacks such as chocolate, chips, hummus, and other bite sized treats. If you're looking for something more substantial, you must try their pogacas, a savory pastry made with soft, dense, and delicious bread and stuffed with either olives, potatoes, or beef sausage (my favorite). Cube Coffee has a nice modern feature of showing a list of orders with an ETA of when said orders will be finished. It's very convenient, especially when each coffee order can take a while to finish, as it appears each drink is made with utmost care. If you want excellent food and drinks in your early morning routine, Cube Coffee delivers just that with a Turkish twist. read more

Love this place! Tons of cute, cozy sitting options. Beautiful booths, and cushions for floor tables. The drink options all looked so good we had a hard time choosing! We both ended up getting the Matcha latte with mango cream top ($8) which is a current seasonal option. It was sweetened with a house-made vanilla syrup. It was delicious! The matcha and mango worked so well together and the mango was so fresh. Good sized glasses. The employees were super nice and friendly. Definitely need to go back to try other matcha and drink options! read more

As a new cafe, they choose to have a limited menu. This results in tasty food and drinks, no matter what you choose. The blended hot chocolate was really good. The portions are smaller than I've experienced, which left me wanting more. The WiFi is free and there are a variety of seats available and many are near outlets. The decor is gorgeous and the staff stays busy. Notes: WiFi became slow. If handicapped, check my video so that you're prepared. read more

I got the mandani date iced latte and would highly recommend! It was so good, perfect level of sweetness for me. Service was great, they even brought out the drink to where I was sitting. Lots of available seating and outlets as well. I like that they're open late. read more

Charming little (well, larger space than you'd think!) cafe, tucked out of the way behind a large shopping center. They opened very recently and there's perhaps a little chaos in the ordering while staff and customers find their footing, but the cardamom latte and slice of honey cake I got were really lovely; quite sweet for sure, but a nice change from more common coffee shop fare. Not to mention the interior is gorgeous! Lots of seating options, from tables to high tops to soft floor seating around a few low tables on a raised platform. Definitely worth seeking out! I can't wait to come back again and see how they grow. read more

I was really disappointed with my experience here. The only positive thing I can say is that the café is aesthetically pleasing and has a nice atmosphere for studying or working. Unfortunately, that's where the good things end. The coffee and matcha were both extremely watered down. The espresso tasted like milk, ice, and a hint of coffee color rather than an actual espresso-based drink. The matcha was just as bad--mostly ice, milk, and color, with almost no real matcha flavor. For the prices they charge, the quality was honestly unacceptable. The service was equally disappointing. The staff came across as rude and uninterested. When I politely asked if they could add a little more sweetener to my drink, I was met with attitude and told, "You could have done that when you were ordering." It felt unnecessary and unprofessional. Overall, the café looks great, but the drinks and customer service do not match the prices. If you're looking for a quiet, aesthetic place to sit and study, it might work for that. But I would recommend skipping the food and drinks and spending your money elsewhere. read more

Cube Coffee in Ellicott City was such a cute and cozy spot to visit! The ambiance immediately stood out with its beautiful green and gold aesthetic that felt both modern and inviting. The atmosphere was relaxing and perfect for enjoying a coffee break. I tried the baklava latte and absolutely loved it -- flavorful, smooth, and a unique twist on a classic latte. The drink was crafted perfectly and made the experience even better. Definitely a nice coffee shop to unwind, catch up with friends, or just enjoy a peaceful moment with a great drink! read more

So checked out this fairly new coffee shop/cafe. The menu is clear and has typical coffee / tea varieties as a few specialty items as well as some baked goods options. I got the cappuccino which I typically order as a baseline to compare. There is one register but no one was behind it, and there is one self-order kiosk which someone was using, so where and how to order was a little confusing. They took my name but only the drink name itself was called out. I've noticed that unless you're standing right by the pick up counter, it's hard to hear, as the server calls out maybe once or twice the order name in a quiet voice. My friend who joined later, her cold matcha drink took over 20 min, and this was after she went up to the counter couple of more times to check on it. The positives: it's the former Tuesday Morning location and they've done a beautiful job decorating it. It's a beautiful, large space. I will try to return and give their service another try, as having another option for a cafe in Ellicott City that is spacious and inviting is something that was missing. read more

Great breads and coffee!! Would return here again . Best coffee in town for sure . Very thoughtful place

Great food, great coffee, good atmosphere, good service and hardworking staff. Great for working as well

I got the strawberry cloud matcha, and as an avid matcha drinker I can easily say it was one of the best matchas i've ever had. The people working were very kind and helpful. I cannnot stress enough how ADORABLE the inside of the cafe was. The decor, the art, the architecture, it was all just perfect! read more

This place is a vibe. Plenty of seating. Cute atmosphere. Potato pogaca was tasty. Drinks were solid But you do need to be explicit if you want something to-go, that was not as obvious as it could have been. Would highly recommend! read more

I waited at the counter for several minutes with no one acknowledging me even though there were several baristas available. I noticed that other customers did not experience the same issue. I don't want to make any assumptions but I found that odd. Otherwise, my matcha latte was pretty good. There was also plenty of seating options available. read more
