This was for a joint birthday party, and it was a huge hit. Everyone loved the tea, sandwiches, scones, desserts--and especially the quiches. They were eaten so quickly we didn't even get a picture! The food was absolutely amazing, with every detail thoughtfully done, right down to the clotted cream and jams. Emma even delivered everything to my home, which made the experience completely stress-free. I will absolutely be a returning customer and highly recommend Emma's Tea Spot for any special occasion (or just because!).

I've heard nothing but wonderful things about this spot. So I went with someone for lunch and it…read morewas so disappointing. I was extremely underwhelmed. It ended up being very expensive for the smallest portions of food. Everything tasted bland - deli meat with packaged sandwich bread. Nothing homemade about this place. They advertise "salted crips" on the menu and give you a bag of Lays potato chips. The "seasonal fruit" consisted of a few blueberries, a small square of melon and a single strawberry. We got sweet scones which were dry and I had to ask for the sides to go with them - everything was an up charge. All the desserts, petit fours, eclair, etc were all lacking flavor and dry. The space was nice, I do appreciate them keeping the original building tiles, decor, etc.

The coffee is cool but I like it though. The place is cozy. Stop in and chill. It's a little pricey but what isn't these days. The spinach empanada is a show stopper. If you dip it in the spicy mayo, it's next level. This place is a neighborhood gem for sure.

The doughnuts at Diablo are good - the dough is fluffy and they have a ton of flavors but I like my…read moredoughnuts lighter and these are pretty dense. I also prefer stuffed doughnuts (like a good Boston cream, etc) but they don't have many options for those. Instead it seems they prefer to put a dollop of the cream in the hole on top. I tried the cookies and cream and the cream cheese in the middle was odd.. it had a stretchy consistency. I like their Cinnamon Toast Crunch one, that one is probably my favorite. They're good and I love the variety but I've had better doughnuts.

Went on…read morea Sunday morning and it was really busy - no indoor seating but there are 3-4 tables outside. There were only 2 people working, so there were a bunch of people waiting for their orders and service was slow. One person was at the cashier, the other was packing doughnuts, making breakfast sandwiches, and the coffees. We waited 5 minutes in line and then another 10-15 minutes for them to pack our 4 donuts. I wanted to get a sandwich but figured the wait was too long. On to the donuts - I liked the blueberry basil and blackberry lime donuts. The blueberry basil flavor wasn't super strong but it was well balanced. The blackberry lime was my favorite - sweet and a little tart. The crobar (croissant-donut) texture was awesome but I did not rally taste the cranberry or orange advertised. The buttercream frosting on top was sickeningly sweet so ended up scraping that off...finally the coffee donut. Not my favorite but not bad - it tasted like instant coffee and was kinda punchy coffee flavor, bitter. But I liked that the bitter offset the sweet. Overall, it's a fun place for a gourmet donut but be sure to not get here when it's too busy and to come early - they sell out of fun flavors fast!

I was able to park right out front but by the time I left, a lot of the spots were taken. Thr people behind the counter were extremely friendly and nice. I was greeted right away and helped right away. I got 2 chocolate frosted donuts, a cinnamon roll, a slice of strawberry shortcake cake, and the large glazed donut. It was fairly cheap (about $14ish dollars), and they only take visa and Mastercard. My husband enjoys the chocolate frosted donuts a lot. The glazed donut hit the spot! Although, I could not finish it. It was that massive. The strawberry cake was super light and fluffy. The cinnamon roll was fine , it was more of a donut cinnamon roll! I would definitely come back here. Great service and amazing donuts/baked goods.

A slight bump through the door, so I had to get a running start in my chair. Didn't expect the store to be quite so tiny. I'm pretty sure the other customers jumped out of my way as I came barreling in, but no one complained. The store was packed, which I took as a good sign. I was there specifically for the marshmallow donuts, but left with a variety of tasty treats, which we gobbled up joyfully over the course of the day. The sweet woman who waited on us, who is also one of the bakers, gave me a sample of their black bottom cupcakes, which put my grandmother's to shame. And I must return for their hat-shaped chocolate covered cupcakes named after the fedora. I regret leaving without one. Definitely a little taste of baltimore. I highly recommend

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!

Best deviled eggs Ive ever had. I don't even like home fries but the flavor was perfect. Snickerdoodle iced coffee and the ginger tea was also soo good but VERY sweet. Service was good and owner was very nice. Only taking one star because of the size of the cafe itself and they don't serve brunch cocktails- i like a mimosa with brunch personally. Not your typical lively brunch spot- very low key. Definitely worth a visit. They also sell sauces, sweet treats, candles and other cute stuff.
