Great small cafe that is locally owned and a wonderful place to meet up with friends. There is…read moreample parking. They have indoor and outdoor seating. They have breakfast food, lunch food, as well as many homemade baked goods. Everything is delicious and you can tell great attention is taken to the quality of their food products. They have a terrific coffee menu with various seasonal offerings as well. I did order a decaf in the late afternoon that was a bit chilly, but they heated it up quickly (not easy to keep decaf warm as not many order it so this isn't an isolated case- I run into this every once in awhile). All of their drinks are very good and can easily be customized. They have a rather large retail space that offers home goods, snacks, syrup, coffee, teas, snacks... list goes on. Lots are local items. Can be frustrating as lots of these items are not clearly priced so could take some time asking for details regarding cost of the merchandise. It is a great place to grab a treat for yourself, or even a lovely gift for any occasion! The staff are always super friendly and always helpful. This is a place that is very welcoming and cost for all that visit. Highly recommend.

The pumpkin spice latte was refreshing (and made in roughly 30 seconds flat, insane I know). The Dubai chocolate was delicious and the staff even offered to heat it for me. I mean look at it. Yes it did taste that good. They're still improving it as we they go along, but the array of pastries, drinks, and other items already makes a hidden community gem. I'll definitely come back here again. You should too! Especially with the prices. That cookie and that latte was 12 bucks by the way. No they don't force tips.

Everything was really delicious! Coffee and food came out quickly (we were there around 9:15 on a weekday) and our barista was very helpful when I was between two drinks.

The Comfy Cup is amazing! It's warm inviting and the coffee is delicious! I had a caramel apple…read morechai latte with oat milk. Which was DELICIOUS! What I really loved about The Comfy Cup is that I felt like I walked into a place where I was surrounded by friends (even though I didn't know anyone there). The Barista was amazing, friendly and made some great recommendations. The space is amazing, lots of natural light and space, a section with books to read and comfy chairs and couches, a photo wall, a community table and space to sit alone or with a friend. It's evident that this is a place that desires to create community. I believe the owner came in while I was there and it was evident she's very customer forward. The Comfy Cup, hosts a TON of cool events, one of which I am planning to attend tomorrow, a silent book club, but that's not all, there's live music, a cake decorating event and more! I can't wait to go back!

So, Yeht had been open a year or more, with Covid-19 forcing it, like far too many others, to shut…read moredown "for ever and ever" (to quote the old Tony Bennett hit "Because of You"). Then they reopened on weekends only, confounding the usual week walker--until now! Yeht is opening during the week. That, along with an atypical blackboard sign, lured me in. The owner, a very nice young woman filled me in on the details: basically, colorful and quality home, tea and sundry item (artsy couch/bed pillows, anyone?) sourced and fair-traded from other countries and cultures. Every item has a cultural of family ritual related to it, further informing your purchases. Besides some silky vegan dark chocolate, one of which infused with champagne, I left with a see-through tin with wooden measuring spoon of some antioxidant-rich, low caffeine purple tea they were sampling. Definitely worth the stop to help out a new small business. I'll be bawk, baby!

She told us all about who made the various items and how they were made. The store has a lot to offer! We walked away with quite a few candles and a bundle of incense, but there were wonderful looking handbags and clothing on display as well. Overall, the shop and owner were very charming! I highly recommend visiting during Saturday or Sunday, when the shop is open to walk-ins, and speaking with Jacquelyn to get the full experience!

I do miss the old Cross Street Market before the complete renovation in 2018, which seemed to cater to the average local, however, the current, more modern market certainly is a gem in Federal Hill despite the more expensive food prices. I like the selection of cuisines featured. The diversity covers bar food, dinner food, quick bites, and dessert. And of course there are plenty vendors serving crab dishes. Some of the great vendors have come and gone, like the pretzel dog vendor which for a long time was the only reason I would visit Cross Street Market. I appreciate the seating made available in the areas near each food vendor. The space is utilized efficiently, from the storage of food in the freezers near the dining tables, to the small stages where artists perform. The market is a great pre-game destination and option to watch the game if you skip the stadium altogether. Keep in mind, on NFL game day this place gets packed, so arrive early. There is ample street parking in the vicinity, however, on game days finding parking in this neighborhood is a nightmare. Overall, a must visit when in the area.
