    Chicken salad sandwich, Broccoli And Cheddar soup and a Side Salad
    Erica B.

    5+ Friendly people, comfortable space, jam worthy playlist. I knew I'd enjoy my food and time there from the moment I walked in and was greeted with a smiling face saying "Hello". So many choices to choose from. I went with the soup and sandwich combo, which also comes with a small side salad and a cookie or an Apple. The perfect combo to me! I went with the house made chicken salad, broccoli and cheese soup, sugar cookie. Within a few minutes everything was sitting at my table waiting to be devoured. 5 stars zero complaints the chicken salad, soup or the cookie. I live about 35 minutes away. I was in the area dog sitting. I almost drove 35 minutes the next morning for the exact same meal. It is THAT good! Tip: Free WiFi available and they cater events

    My friend brought me to this cafe for lunch - super cute place. They're already decorated for Easter. We placed food for dine in at the ordering counter and found a table to sit at. I ordered the Yacht Club sandwich with chips and a Caramel Frappe and my friend ordered a flatbread. My sandwich was so filling and really good. All the ingredients tasted really fresh. My frappe was delicious. The staff were friendly here and the prices are super reasonable. Such a great place for the area.

    First time here and loved it. There are so many drink options and food options. I liked that the food is served on plates when eating in, the drinks are in plastic cups, would've loved lugs, but it's minor infraction, lol! The food was really good and so were the drinks. The space itself it supervise and decorated nicely.. the aqua theme makes it feel airy! Definitely will be back

    My cousin introduced me to this place after working out at Planet Fitness. I think I ended up going back six times and every time was extremely impressed with the food, the coffee, and the service. I think it was my second or third time in and was greeted by name. That impressed me so much. You should definitely try the Burrizo Burrito. So good! The coffee is great. I get a mocha with cinnamon. The staff is friendly and the atmosphere is warm and welcoming. Nothing but good things to say about here

    BLT
    Tiara D.

    I went back recently and was highly disappointed. I ordered a BLT and was served the thinnest sandwich I had in my life. Also, not sure what's going on with the beverage section but they keep very limited amount of ice tea and lemonade out for customers. I was racing to fill my cup up with another gentleman because the containers were being refilled a cup at a time. The hash brown sandwich had a piece of lettuce on it. Everything just seemed to be rationed and skimpy. For the price against the product, I probably won't return again.

    Lemonade and Sweet Tea
    Kymbaly W.

    This place is so cute and quaint. I love that I found it. It's truly a little cafe we're you can sit and do work or meet up with friends. They are always super nice when I go in and I ended up going three days in a row. You will have to wait a little after you order so don't be in a rush. I ordered tuna on a toasted croissant with American cheese, pickles, and roasted red peppers. The tuna wasn't over seasoned and had a great consistency. The sandwich as a whole was very flavorful and I ended up ordering it again the next day but on white toast and a little red onion. I think I like the toasted croissant better. Now the side house salad dressing is sooo good. They should never stop making it. The first time I tasted it I got it as a side but didn't eat the cranberries. I ended up getting a full house salad later that week and removed the cranberries and added cucumbers, croutons, and feta cheese. The croutons are not crunchy: just FYI. But I still loved the salad. I did try the broccoli cheddar soup a few days later. Unfortunately, I didn't really like it. It was a little too watery for me. The lemonade and sweet tea weren't real lemony or sweet. More on the watery side. But overall I really love this cute place and will be back probably one day every week for lunch.

    Love this local spot! Not entirely sure when they opened but it has been there for a while and I have gone there now about 3-4 times. Each time, I get great service and delicious food and drinks. They have a wide range of items that you can pick from for breakfast and I believe some sandwiches and pastries. They also have plenty of seats indoors if you choose to eat/drink there. They also have some games you can play and a small "gift shop" where you can buy merch. There is plenty of parking as there are other stores nearby.

    16 oz Harvest Latte
    Rosemary M.

    I love this little cafe. It's such a nice spot to have in the area. They're always well decorated with the season, and the staff is consistently welcoming and kind. I ordered the avocado toast (added egg), a blueberry scone, and a harvest latte. Let me say: I am OBSESSED with the harvest latte. I eagerly wait for them to sell it every year and I am always sad when it leaves. I don't know how to describe the flavor, but know it is basically fall in a cup. Like pumpkin spice but way better. I always get it with oat milk, which I really think just takes it to another level. You have to try it if it's in season. Crunchy toast, creamy avocado, warm egg - perfect avocado toast! I love the salt and crushed pepper they put on top. The egg does cost more, but I think it's worth it for a little extra something. They also have a crabby avocado toast, which I didn't get today, but I highly recommend that too! I've really been into scones lately for whatever reason, and it's been interesting to see how they differ depending on who makes them. First of all, this scone was HUGE. Scones tend to be on the less sweet side, but this one was probably one of the least sweet I've had (not a bad thing!). I think most of the sweetness came from the crunchy sugar on the top and the blueberries inside. The flavor really just reminded me of a biscuit. It also wasn't super dry like scones are known to be. I truly love coming here. It's worth the stop if you're nearby!

    I'll admit, I only purchased a tea to go, but the staff was friendly enough and the place seemed to be very popular. The line was long when I arrived - but it moved pretty quickly. I'll have to go back if I'm in the area again and try out the other options.

    Chesapeake (special)
    Theresa S.

    Came across Joanna's while on a work trip and was pleasantly surprised. Inside is cute and casual with an assortment of pastries and goodies on display. We all ordered the special breakfast, the Chesapeake which was so freaking good. It was two fried eggs, bacon, avocado, and CRAB all on a perfectly toasted Asiago bagel. It was so good and not too heavy on the stomach. I also had to try their popular latte options such as the Starr and the Death Starr, both were delicious and kept me caffeinated all day. The next day I tried the Burrata sandwich, this was also pretty good and I loved how they toasted with the bread with the mozzarella (making the perfect cheese pull). The grilled cheese , Mac n cheese, and tomato soup were also quite good. This is a small portions spot so don't expect huge meals out of here. Everything was decently priced and service was great. Even if you are just grabbing a coffee this is the spot!

    No complaints from someone who always complains. Great cafe atmosphere, decent prices, awesome employees, I will stop by here every time I'm in this area. They also have some type of rewards system.

    Joey S.

    My wife and I both ordered the bacon egg and cheese croissants and coffee, and everything was absolutely tasty. The service was great, but the only reason I'm giving it 4 stars instead of 5 is because our drinks came about 5 minutes after we got our food. It was a minor issue, but it should reflect in the rating. The cafe itself is super cute, with a charming and relaxing atmosphere. It's the kind of place where you can unwind and enjoy a good meal. Despite the minor hiccup, we'll definitely be returning!

So today I had a company luncheon and saw Deli-ish on the CaterNation sight. I looked over the menu and saw that they weren't too expensive, pretty much reasonable. Knowing I had Faculty with dietary needs, I reached out to a CaterNation agent if this vendor could alter any sandwich for a person who's gluten free and to my surprised they replied by saying the vendor could accommodate. A total WIN!! I placed my order for an arrival time of 1130 today ( 9/24/25), to my shocker they delivered the food 15 minutes earlier. Something I'm definitely not mad at. The delivery was helpful and very punctual. Another Win!! The lunch boxes were in a brown box (nothing special). On the inside they had the sandwich/wrap, a bag of kettle chips, and a little serving of coleslaw, with Mike's mustard and mayonnaise packets. The sandwich was HEFTY (in a good way) I ordered a roast beef and another coworker ordered a tuna wrap, which was also HEFTY. They were so hefty I couldn't finish it, I wrapped the remaining up for later. The roast beef was well done (I prefer medium), but I understand why it was well done, but it was still good. My coworker said her tuna was delicious and sweet. She said it tasted like they put sweet onions in the wrap and dill in the tuna salad. The kettle chips were good as always and cole slaw was okay not bland, but not sweet either. Again another win! Final verdict, I'll be ordering from them again!!

Starting with the food, everything is quality, with clean and fresh ingredients and an awesome menu with everything from burgers to breakfast sandwiches. The fries are great. The space is awesome. The downstairs is nice and eclectic, lively with great energy and the upstairs is a great place to get stuff done, quiet, comfortable, spacious. Cool couches and decorations that make you really feel like you're in a historic part of Baltimore. The staff is probably one of the best parts. I met the owner, Nikki, who's an absolute gem, gracious, kind and welcoming. The staff is super friendly and accomodating. Mike is great, really friendly and helpful. This place is definitely one of the best cafes I've ever been to and I've been to hundreds between NY, LA, and Miami... If you want a cool place to come hang out, potentially meet new people, and enjoy a great coffee, this is it. If you want a place where you can get work done comfortably and stay for a while, I highly recommend it.

Even though it was a Saturday we were able to find a spot to sit, and the decor was really fun. There's upstairs seating that seemed a little quieter too. I ordered the Darwin on an Asiago bagel. I wish there was more Brie cheese on it, but it was really good overall. The apple jam was a nice sweet touch. My bagel also came with a side of fruit and a hash brown. The hash brown was a little undercooked for me though. I also got a coco cocoa cold brew, which was a chocolate cold brew with coconut cold foam. It had coconut flakes on it so I had to chew each time I took a sip, and I didn't really taste any chocolate. The cold brew itself was good though, bold and not grainy at all. It was a little loud in the cafe due to all the people, but I had a great time anyway. I'll definitely be back if I need a cute brunch spot or a coffee pick-me-up!

Courteous and efficient service, plus I think they gave me better than the 10% discount as a sad sack juror! Excellent chicken Caesar wrap with vinegar chips and brownie! I highly recommend Nalley Fresh for your jury duty lunch where there is some window seating with AC if not outside tables on a less hot day. Bonus: It you ask nicely, the adjoining lobby desk person may lead you to a tucked-away bathroom to freshen up before you head back to do your civic duty for the rest of the day.

I think it's worth mentioning that I've never had pit beef before so I am by no means an expert as to what's good or not. I will also say however, that what I ordered, the open face pit beef sandwich with mashed potatoes and gravy was ok. The entire plate was swimming in gravy so that took away from what could've been a better meal. I did ask for gravy on the whole sandwich and the mashed potatoes (because the picture on their website looked like gravy only came on the mashed potatoes and I do like a little extra) but I wasn't expecting a to-go box literally full of gravy, so that's probably my fault. The texture of the beef mixed with all the gravy and mashed potatoes was a bit unpleasant and soupy and I periodically had to pick burnt bits and foil out my mouth so that also took away from the experience. They seem to have a pretty vast menu and I had no idea what I was going to get when I walked in. The young lady that took my order was very friendly and helped me come to my decision so the customer service was good and I appreciated her patience with me. As far as ambiance goes, while I was waiting for my order, there was an older man waiting for his order that was yelling at the tv about how Joe Biden hasn't done anything for this country and that Trump only told the truth. I try not to get caught up in politics with strangers because it really can be off putting but what can you do. I wouldn't do the gravy with a side of open face pit beef sandwich again but there's so many other options I'd like to try in the future should I find myself in the area again. A man that was also waiting for his order said he really like the ribs.
