    Iced Coffee $4.25
    Mitasha P.

    I came here on a Wednesday early afternoon, and it was not crowded. In fact there was only one other person working on their computer. I got a Cortado ($3.75), which is what I usually get from Starbucks except when I received my drink, it was lukewarm. This is before I even added the milk. Personally that's a huge pet peeve for me when my HOT coffee is not hot. The ice coffee ($4.25) was good. It had good coconut flavor. However, the lid did not fit on the coffee cup. It kept snapping off. I also got the Crispy Italiano sandwich which had pepperoni, ham, roasted red peppers, provolone, and onion on a sliced baguette. The sandwich was listed as $8.95, but she rang it up as $10.95 and charged me two extra dollars for bacon which I never asked for. I told her I don't want bacon in my sandwich but she said that it doesn't have bacon that's just how it rings up. It wasn't until the manager had to step in and put in the custom amount for my sandwich. When I did get my sandwich the bread was pretty stale and hard to eat. I also noticed that the onions were chopped up imperfectly (all different sizes). I also got the Chipotle Chicken Avocado ($9.95). It came out pretty messy with the avocado smeared everywhere. Literally the whole sandwich was falling apart (see picture). While the interior is nice, the coffee and food just did not do it for me. The bathrooms were clean, except for the fact that the hand soap was completely watered down. Not sure if I would come back here again.

    I tried this spot again, and I wasn't disappointed. During this visit, my dog was offered a pup cup, which was a sweet gesture, especially since I was told they didn't have pup cups during my last visit. A great alternative coffee shop, though they are on the pricier side, so definitely not a daily visit.

    Loved the exposed brick and archways which I believe is the original architectural design. The service was polite and efficient. I got the lox and jalapeños bagel and it was amazing. Normally with lox it goes with an everything bagel but the recommendation of the jalapeño was perfect. I would definitely recommend.

    I only had the chai latte with oat milk. It was very flavorful, not watery at all. The best chair latte I've had in a long time. The sitting area is spacious and clean. Service was pretty quick, we went very early so no one else was there yet.

    Friendly staff! Amazing coffee - I got the Ferraro Rocher latte! It wasn't too sweet & definitely could taste the espresso. My friend also got their early grey iced tea which was also delicious and refreshing.

    Fantastic service two days in a row with fabulous breakfast fare for all of us. Allow me to recap! Day one was just me and my husband who were thankful for somewhere opened on Thanksgiving morning for coffee and breakfast. We both enjoyed a dirty chai - delicious! I had Jewish rye toast with one of the best homemade hummus sides ever. My husband scarfed down his everything bagel egg & cheese breakfast sandwich. The prices are so fair. The food so excellent. The service so quick and friendly. Day two we had six of us and everyone LOVED their food. From croissant breakfast sandwiches to bagel sandwiches.

    Good service and decent coffee. Pastries and food are mediocre at best. All of the pastries we ordered seemed to be slightly stale and hard. The sandwiches were okay. Good if you're in a pinch, way more on the casual side.

    Iced Matcha Latte
    R. Lucas Min

    Got iced matcha latte and iced shaken espresso within a span of a week to study. Matcha latte didn't have enough matcha for my taste so it mainly tasted like milk. Iced shaken espresso was not sweet so I got what I ordered- it was balanced well. Both times were in the afternoon during the week. I liked that it was spacious with not busy crowd. However, when people talk, you can hear them as the voice echos and travels to different nooks of the shop. It is a great social space but not the best studying spot (unless you can tune out very well).

    Americano
    Anna F.

    Great americano. I didn't know there was an inside cafe space so I hung out outside at the table to people watch. I also saw a door with outside service and a menu so I assumed I could order there or at least get my take out coffee there. I ordered online and got my order quick. I figured out there was a door to go inside and I picked up my coffee. They serve food which I will have to try another time. I like the ambience inside and it's a lot bigger than I expected inside.

    The Daily Grind is a small local chain in Baltimore, and their location in Fells Point is one of my favorites to go to! The ambiance is really relaxed inside; there's a small indoor courtyard in the middle of the restaurant which is airy and scattered with a few plants in the window sills. It's a lovely place to catch up with a friend or go on a casual date, and especially works well to cowork, as they have a stable internet connection here. I ordered the egg and cheese bagel on multigrain, and the Ferrero rocher espresso with almond milk. I have ordered the espresso a few times, and it never disappoints. The Bagel was plain but tasty; I was able to get a full breakfast for about $10, which is a good deal around Fells. I have tried their turkey sandwich before on rosemary bread, which I wouldn't necessarily recommend (there was no mayo or toppings on it which made it dry). The servers here are usually pretty chill, sometimes seem a little indifferent, but their service is still good. Overall, if you're in the area, I'd recommend checking it out.

    Shop is across the street from Pitango, if you've been there. Shockingly large inside, and has a deep walkway past the counter, extending to a lot of seating options. Great spot for coworking, however, your back may hurt from sitting in hard wooden chairs for a while. Nothing bad to say about the front register service- I ordered a banana nut muffin, a java chip blended coffee with a pump of caramel, and a bacon egg and cheese on a blueberry bagel with strawberry jelly. The sandwich came out relatively fast, and PIPING hot. Love the fresh vibe from food that has steam riding from it, being fresh off the griddle. Good size, the cheese was melted, and the bacon was in smaller, bite size pieces. 10/10. Be advised, the jelly is an extra $1. The muffin was super moist, and had a fresh banana twang that could only be achieved from baking it fresh, which i appreciated. Healthy amount of nuts. 10/10. Be advised, it's so moist that if you try to piece it apart, your fingers will be messy. The blended coffee was good. The extra pump of caramel really staved off the watery taste that you usually receive with blended drinks. Props to them, as even towards the end of the drink, it was still palatable. 8.5/10

    Daily Grindin'! I tried to hit up a few different coffee spots while in Baltimore, my travels led me to Daily Grind. Walking in, very very old school with brick walls and wooden floors, Daily Grind gives a Williamsburg Brooklyn vibe. I see lots of cakes and baked goods wrapped in cellophane on the shelves. Kind of a turn off for me to see anything wrapped in plastic. However! I do see a Latte Breve as a choice, a breve is made with half & half instead of regular milk. And to me, that makes for one creamy, steamy and outright dreamy latte! I'm glad I swung in, great latte before hitting my daily grind.

    Vanilla latte, half sweet
    Ameena A.

    I love this place! From its cute location, to its baristas and fast service, to its coffee. My traditional order is an oat milk vanilla latte, half sweet, and they get it right every time. I appreciate how customizable the drinks can be. Will be a staple coffee shop for me in baltimore!

I got the Tofu Brah bun and my mom got the chili noodles with pork and a side of rice and beans. All of the food was so flavorful and the portions were generous. The bun itself was so light and fluffy, and the tofu was crispy. They didn't skimp on the pork in the chili noodles - about half the dish was really tender pork.

I thought some good ol' Polish comfort food would be good for everyone. Not only was the food phenomenal, Tom the owner and his staff took exceptional care of me and my family. Tom delivered the food himself, ran back with something he forgot and stayed and talked to my family for a bit. They said how great he was and they enjoyed meeting him, and several want to order from Sophia's Place and have the food shipped.
