The espresso drinks are fantastic and pair perfectly with the food. The eating space is adorable and adds to the charm, but it does fill up quickly -- definitely get there early, as it gets very crowded. A must-visit if you love crepes, great coffee, and cozy vibes.

We were reliving our past and decided to go off to Sykesville MD. The French Twist Cafe was our…read morepre-selected target for a spot of lunch that we chose from Internet charm. Upon closer inspection, we were rather turned-off. The outside tables were mostly occupied by what seemed to be non customers not consuming any food or drink. Inside, there was something industrial going on in the front corner and we were disheartened to learn it was order at the counter and no service at the tables, and also this so called FRENCH cafe was sold out of croissants very early in the day. We just found the atmosphere to be much less than what was represented on the internet, much less charm. We decided to walk out disappointed.

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!

I ate here on a Saturday in late April around 11:00AM. The line was out the door and seating was…read morepacked inside. 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.

They have an old school telephone booth in the store. They make a true Arnold Palmer which is not a half and half.

The staff is all young adults but they were all very professional and courteous. I'd love to come back and try more of their sandwiches.

The free stuff brewed with the continental breakfast were I stayed overnight was superlative compared to the house specialty. Server was also on the snippy side- I mean, if you're not a morning person, don't work in a coffee house, darlin'. Cute decor shows that the proprieter has some concern. Second star for not being the worse coffee I've ever had.\ Update: A year later, I'm back at Travelin' Joe since it's the only place near MDSW Fairground open early enough to get some java. Fortunately the prune faced miss that took care of me last year was not present, the coffee was quite good and the bacon, egg and cheese on an english muffin was hardy enough to sustain me throughout the day.

The bakery is spotless, beautifully arranged, and filled with the aroma of fresh bread and pastries the moment you walk in. They offer a wonderful selection of French-inspired pastries, artisan breads, cakes, coffee, and drinks. (Tous les Jours) My personal favorites are anything made with fresh fruit and cream--they're always light, delicious, and beautifully presented. And the milk bread? Absolutely addictive! It's soft, fluffy, and one of those items you'll find yourself craving long after you leave. The staff is always friendly and welcoming, making every visit feel special. Whether you're stopping in for breakfast, an afternoon coffee, dessert, or simply want to browse all the gorgeous baked goods, this bakery is well worth the visit. I'll definitely keep coming back!

With a variety of drinks from hot to cold; to food options. I couldn't decide what to get because a lot sounded enticing. I ended up getting a cappuccino so I can get some latte art and a grilled cheese. I got toasted marshmallow flavor for my cappuccino. It had a dainty heart and nicely made flavor wise. It came in a real mug since it was a cappuccino. If you get a cold drink, it comes in a disposable cup. For food I decided to try the jalapeño bacon grilled cheese. It was tasty. The jalapeños were not spicy at all which was what I was looking for. It had the right amount for flavor added to the melted cheese and bacon. Toasted at a level you get a crunch in every bite. I was asked if I'd like a pickle on the side; yes please. That was a nice little ask that I wasn't expecting. Overall, service, food and drink were good. There is free parking in the parking lot. I'll be back to try more specialty drinks.

I had a mocha latte and this Iranian Chocolate Pop-Tart thing that was awesome.... I really need to start taking pictures of my food and these places. The ambiance is that of a coffee house but this coffee house is an old historic building with natural wood floors and big windows. The layout is convenient for having a mix of seating and the volume was such that we could hear our party but not feel like we were screaming. The coffee was good. the people friendly, the snacks (ok not a meal but too much to ignore from the experience) the snacks were delightful. My wife almost ate half of my Pop-tart it was so good. Ok, this one gets a definite try, the locals seemed to like it, it was close-ish to Columbia, and worth checking out.
