From the outside of the building, you wouldn't know that there's a speakeasy inside, but that's what makes it fun. There's a handful of tables inside and a small shuffleboard too. There's an area outside that I have not been able to check out yet due to it being February when I was there. Kelvin gave me a great story about Uncle Nearest and told it with such enthusiasm too. Kelvin brings this great energy and is one of those people where you can tell that he loves what he does. The whiskey selection in here is phenomenal! So many different ones that I want to try and Kelvin will give you his recommendations based on your preferences. This is a great place for those that want to sip on whiskey or a classic cocktail. Can't wait to go back just so I can have some good laughs with Kelvin and try a few more whiskeys that are on my list!

This place was quite busy on a Sunday morning, I suspect it was because it was the last day of the farmer's market. I had the croiffle with bacon and cheese.

The parking lot was next to the restaurant and free so bonus points there! I'd come back to try one of the other crepes if I'm in the area.

It's a smallish space and indoor seating was really full at 11 AM on a weekday. Because of rain, the outdoor benches were not in use, and I saw closed-up patio-umbrellas too. I ordered from a kiosk or you could order online or in person. I got the bacon egg and cheese croissant and it was made quickly by welcoming staff. It was a regular size croissant with very light cheese and a layer of crispy bacon pieces in a well toasted croissant. The flavor was good. This café also sells a number of beverages, including fresh ground espresso, and various teas And they sell some bakery goods, candies, and quite a variety of dry-packaged teas and coffee. The parking right in front Café Jun can get pretty full, but there's plenty parking in the rest of the shopping center. You can enter the shopping area from eastbound US-40 Baltimore National Pike, or from westbound Frederick Road. It's just east of Centennial Lane/Bethany Lane and about a mile West of US 29. The larger shopping area has a diner 3-strip mall sections, one of which is called Princess Shopping Center, so I'm a little confused which mall-name covers which shops. They have a summer concert planned! That should be fun!

People do seem to respect the 90MIN seating window though so you should be able to find a seat. You order and pay at the counter first and then they give you a table number card. This is how they find you to serve your food. I ordered a regular matcha latte, a bacon, egg and cheese sandwich on croissant bread and their famous croffle. I loved their matcha latte. It's pre-sweetened so no need to add extra vanilla syrup or anything. This does not taste like a traditional matcha, which in my opinion tastes like dirt. This is a sweeter, dessert like matcha. I didn't care for the bacon, egg and cheese sandwich. It was kind of dry and it tasted like something was missing. The croffle was amazing. It has a nutty, pecan like taste to it and it was topped with vanilla gelato and blueberries. I couldn't really taste the maple syrup but it was delicious nonetheless.

I honestly believe they skipped over my ticket as folks coming well after me receives their orders and left. A few minutes of house cleaning (wiping tables) was needed. Ive never been in here feeling like it was trashy and cluted but today it felt a little as such. I was satisified with my PSL and bread pudding. I left with goodness but wish I could have had my wrap.

It's not only a joy to see the business still enjoying good success, but to also taste the enhanced skill of the bakers here. Make no doubt about it, the croissant here are authentic and delicious. Just the right amount of butter to bring out their savory character, with just a kiss of natural sweetness. The ham and Gruyère is an absolute pleasure. They have actual content; not just a tease of baked in ingredients. The financier were also perfect! I'm very much looking forward to seeing any additional Parisian pastries added to their counter. The traditional stars of their menu remain outstanding: the iced tea and sweet potato biscuits.

Parking is pretty easy, with a small lot beside the building. Free parking Sundays. What sets this place apart, though, is the owner and staff. The owner pops around to each table to chat. Sure, he asks how the food is, but then he stays to connect -- and it feels sincere. This place is a rate gem.

Our order was estimated 8-10 minutes and after waiting 20 I had actually thought maybe the order was sent to the wrong Starbucks (I was picking up for someone else). When I gave them the name on my order, the employee I spoke to looked annoyed and said that they were understaffed due to two call-outs then walked away while I was still talking. It was bazaar. I always try to be polite. I expect the bare minimum back. I also work a high pace job. I get it. I just would have appreciated a polite interaction. Not hating on the time frame on their part. However Starbucks should more accurately be able to track each location based off staffing to get a better estimate out for customers. The order consisted of one drink and two premade pastries.

And the location has an attached drive through. You can tell that the people working at ROCO are passionate about what they do. This was one of the best customer service experiences I've ever had; We were lucky to snag a table, but ended up waiting for a member of our party for over 30 minutes. While we waited, our waitress offered us a complimentary donut, which we split between the 3 of us. I'm not a big donut person, but the donut was amazing. The flavor wasn't overly sweet and the dough felt a little undercooked (?) in the best way; The inside of the donut was slightly chewy in the way a hot and fresh croissant might be. The donut was so good that my friend ordered another for herself. And we got lucky; At one point the chef came out and brought us another complimentary donut because he wanted our opinion on a new flavor he was experimenting with (equally amazing). I've never had so many pleasant interactions the staff at a restaurant before; I felt like it was my lucky day. When it came down to our actual orders, the food was just alright. I ordered the migas breakfast taco. I loved the texture of the tortilla, but felt the egg mixture could profit from a little more salt or a sharper cheese. The rest of my party ordered the potato, egg, & cheese breakfast tacos and raved about the sauces. 2 members of my party also ordered a latte and remarked that they wished it was stronger. Overall, I had a great experience at ROCO. It's a great community spot, and you really can't beat the value (half of food items $10 or under). I'm excited to return to grab more donuts and try their lunch/dinner options. I've heard great things about the burger.
