Was at the R House after going to a field trip at the Baltimore Museum of Art. We came on a busy so left it parked at the museum. R House has a small parking lot but it definitely wouldn't accommodate a bus. It was a short 8 min walk to get there. I wanted a club sandwich to go. Also got some chips. They specialize in coffee and not have any other bottled drinks to go so I had to go to a dinner event place for a beverage. Sandwich was good. Bread was a brioche bun. It was soft and had a decent amount of meat on it. Food was ready quickly. Service was good. They only take electronic payments like most of the other places in R House. read more

I stumbled into this local cafe. The main door is on the right, next to an apartment building entrance. Once you walk through the first door, there is a second glass door on the left, walk in. I was created immediately by staff, told them it was my first time here. I ordered a steak and egg breakfast sandwich and a chai latte. The breakfast sandwich was delicious. The latte was good. It was a lil cold out so I sat at the tables right in the little hallway. read more

I've been on a kick trying to walk 6mi a day and decided that this would be a good pitstop. After walking for about an hour I was surprised to see how small this shop was! Still, I was impressed by all the fandom merch on the wall. I was hoping to get a seat here and sip my iced matcha latte (basic I know...) but there weren't any seats available. If I find myself roaming nearby I'd definitely give this spot another go to try their food, which smelt good from the whiffs I copped by the register. read more

I love Kitsch's sandwiches. They are especially known for their gochujang mayo. I've had a phase of also requesting more than one sauce to go just for me to eat with other foods back home. My go to sandwiches have tend to be the Berkeley sandwich or any one of the egg sandwiches. Any drinks here are quite good too. It hits the spot if you're craving a nice sandwich especially to share with a friend. I've always liked how they would write your name in the brown paper bags they wrap your sandwiches in. It's been a fun, enjoyable reminder for me to say this food is something I get to eat thank you Jesus! Service is personable and kind even when it gets busy. Despite it being a smaller cafe from the main spot in R house, this place is a charming place for lunch! Seating is quite limited, so I'd suggest taking the food to go to eat outside on a spring day! read more

Kitsch is a coffee shop in R House. I was working at R House for a couple of days. I saw a reasonably priced steak breakfast sandwich and ordered it and I was glad I did. The bread was soft and the steak was like a cross between brisket and corn beef. But they are a coffee shop and the matcha is wonderful. The staff is very nice and remembered me when I came back the next day. I loved that. read more

I ordered a breakfast sandwich yesterday morning and a BYO turkey sandwich to eat after finishing a 12-hour shift. When I got home later that night, I realized the turkey was missing from my sandwich. I've worked in restaurants for 10 years, so I understand mistakes happen. I went back kindly and simply asked if they could fix it because I was exhausted, in the middle of moving, and genuinely just needed food. They were understanding and remade it at no charge, which I truly appreciated and was prepared to leave a 5-star review because of that. Unfortunately, when I got home again that next morning, there appeared to be no sauce on the sandwich this time. We drove back once more, and I calmly asked for a side of sauce so I could finally eat. I was not complaining or asking for anything extra -- just the sauce. The cook immediately became argumentative and defensive, which was surprising and disappointing given that I had been nothing but polite and understanding throughout the entire situation. I fully understand that the restaurant industry is stressful, I've been in it for a decade, but being treated with hostility when simply trying to resolve an issue respectfully is unacceptable and unprofessional. I truly just wanted my food so I could eat and continue my day. read more

i have been to a few kitsch locations, and they are consistently good. the staff is always nice and service quick. this location has a small seating area, but is mostly takeout it seems. i always get the BLT with pickles on sourdough and i'll switch up the sauce frequently. my favorite thing about kitsch is their wide variety of sauces to choose from (and also that you can order a giant pickle). their lemonade is my favorite around and their captain crunch rice krispies are really tasty and lightly sweet. this is my go-to spot for a BLT and my partner loves their breakfast sandwiches. read more

A top contender for best sandwiches in Baltimore!! Small cafe/restaurant located just 3 min away from Johns Hopkins north exit. The sandwiches were unique and delicious and the apple cider and black coffee were as well. Seating and parking is very limited, so the place is ideal for grab and go/quick chat. Looking forward to trying the rest of their menu read more

Very cozy and friendly place! The only downside is scarce parking, had to park five minutes up the street. However, it is a great place to sit down and do some work over a cup of coffee and a snack! I really enjoyed having seats across a wall from the register, as I am quite shy and that made me feel more secluded and cozy. Good wifi connection too! read more

Great music, even better people, and the food is amazing. Highly recommend! I ended up getting a bunch of stuff but didn't take pictures of eveything. The tahini drink was great! The dirby sandwich was wow. The egg on brioche is simple but classic. Would definitely come back when in the area. read more

I love coming here. It is a very convenient location for me as it's right between my house and the rotunda where we do all our errands. I have had many great sandwiches from here and they are a good price too. The sandwiches are simple and delicious. Not the most wowing amazing gloriously heaven sent sandwich I've ever had, but it's yummy, consistent, and I like how you get to customize your sandwich too. I like the sausage here and the sauce they put on the sandwich too. Seating and parking are extremely limited so beware. But they do have a cute little area with tables and service is usually pretty quick. Definitely recommend for a quick breakfast in this area. read more

Located inside a residential building, the Carlyle, and across from Hopkins Homewood campus is thud cute little sandwich shop. Great for a quick grab-and-go or a quick sit down Service & Ambience: The shop itself isn't the biggest, so it may get crowded if it gets busy. I would recommend ordering ahead online for quicker pickup. There are a few tables inside, but you can also opt for outside seating. Super friendly staff Price: $-$$. I can't complain about a variety of less than $10 sandwiches that are loaded with ingredients. Coffee is also priced reasonably from $2-$6. Food: I chose the "Rachel" during this visit, which was absolutely delicious. Their homemade coleslaw was definitely the highlight. The egg was perfectly runny and made a great combo with the turkey and coleslaw. Overall, I'd recommended stopping in for a quick bite or coffee! read more

Kitsch Cafe has been on my list for a while now. It's in a fairly convenient location near JHU and Wyman Park. I ordered some breakfast online and it was ready for pickup in about 15 minutes. I got the chicken salad sandwich with pepperjack cheese and sprouts on gluten free bread. I also got a side hashbrown, a golden milk and mango smoothie, and the breakfast at Tiffany's latte. THE GOOD: Everything was ready on time and the staff was friendly. The chicken salad had a great flavor and was hearty. The smoothie was very refreshing and had a nice blend of flavors. The breakfast at Tiffany's latte was AMAZING. Probably one of the best lattes I've ever had. Somehow the maple syrup and cinnamon really took this latte to a whole new level for me. I'm still thinking about it! THE NOT SO GOOD: Okay, I know gluten free bread is a hit or miss sometimes. Some places have gotten really good at finding GF bread that still retains its texture and shape (looking at you, Artifact coffee). But this bread... did not. It was immediately falling apart as soon as I unwrapped the sandwich. The pepper jack cheese was unmelted and instead of sprouts, it was a spring mix. I went ahead and toasted the bread and cheese to get it crispy and melty and it was a lot better. The hash brown was oily and flimsy like it had been microwaved so I popped that in my air fryer too. It's a shame the GF bread isn't the best since all the sandwiches look SO good. But nevertheless, I'm definitely returning to Kitsch for the lattes at the very least. read more

It's easy to whiz by this nondescript cafe enfolded in The Carlyle on University Blvd.--but a lot is going on at this mostly pickup breakfast place. Opened during the pandemic, Kitsch seems to cater to the locals quite well. Although I prefer a smaller, tighter brioche or English-style muffin, there are plenty of sandwich choices including oatmeal, etc. I had the Kitschwich and added tomato and a Dijonnaise sauce, among many food and sauce add-ons. Also had the Heckled Hash brown with Old Bay--it was delish! Along with self-serve chairs to "chill" outside on nice days, there is very limited seating in the foyer. Nevertheless, word is they are expanding! read more

The food is very good, the service is friendly and the vibe is cool. They do a great job.

I used my first #womenrunbaltimore Yelp check-in at Kitsch for a free coffee with the purchase of a sandwich. I opted for their BYO breaky and got a fried egg, sausage and American cheese on brioche with dijonnaise sauce. It doesn't look the most appealing but it tasted quite good like most regular egg, sausage and cheese sandwiches. It was nice to have the added dijonnaise to give it some flavor though. It's a very small cafe for ordering and go with super friendly staff. Glad I could check this little cafe out! read more

This place was on my try-list for a long time and I'm so glad I came! I came here after I finished an exam following a stressful start to my week. The place immediately made my day! Bryan took my order at the register, and he had the most welcoming warm and positive energy. The place itself is small, but it is so cozy and charming. I ordered a BYOBreaky with sourdough, a runny egg, bacon, and veggies - it was absolutely delicious. I also got a Split and Griddled muffin at Bryan's suggestion and loved it. My "You're my Best Friend" drink was also great and the perfect temperature. I look forward to coming again soon! read more

$67 for not getting the order right, serving salty pastrami and calling it beef brisket, not putting ice in the water (ask me if I want ice I say yes please) and then the OWNER dropping an F bomb on me, saying "you're not from around here" and then screaming through the entire eatery for some kind of "back up" because she has an unhappy customer. Trash is the best way to describe this experience and im a breastfeeding mom -- that had to go eat somewhere else right after because I was STILL HUNGRY. If I could leave 0 stars I would. NO CUSTOMER SHOULD EVER BE CURSED AT. If you're having such difficulties as to serve pastrami and calling it it brisket then curse at a high paying customer with a baby you need to go rethink your life. read more

What a gem. They do the simple things so well here and they are extremely fair with their pricing. Service is always great and feels like people really love working here. Brioche bun I dream about. read more

What a cute little spot - I can't believe I've never been here before. I'm sure this place gets super busy during the weekends. I went on a random weekday to grab lunch between meetings. I got a build your own breakfast sandwich. You pay for every added veggie but the sprouts and cucumbers are the best addition to any sando. The staff was friendly and it's a great spot for a local breakfast sandwich. I'll be back for breakfast next time! They also have fun coffee options but didn't get any this trip. read more

This spot was on the list for some time and a ROTD convinced me to try them out. Easy to miss (lower level of an apartment building and without prominent signage), this is a small spot with some window seating and a couple of tables in a hallway outside of the order/kitchen area. I was there around 2 on a Friday and they had some good Pickup traffic. Great they have their breakfast available all day. I was here for the Steak and Egg. Brisket represents the Steak. If there was Brisket bacon this would be it. (Thin/salty) Over easy egg with that spicy honey on the Brioche bun made for a tasty Breakfast Sammie. Hash Brown was the standard Patty variety and was good. Espresso for my skim Cappuccino was nice and strong. Since the spot is small, you get that "breakfast is cooking" aroma as your food is being prepared along with upbeat music playing which I enjoyed while waiting. Very friendly and engaged people making tasty food and coffee. Simplicity is a beautiful concept. Egg, No Egg or Build your own are the options. I saw some lunch favorites, Smoothies, Teas as well a Monte Cristo (next time). Don't miss this Hidden Gem! read more

What a scam. $9.50 for the Monte Cristo and it's the smallest slice of turkey, one small egg, and a bunch of jalapeños. It took 15 minutes to make. read more

I have now been hipped to a NEW (to me anyway) breakfast sandwich spot. I am ALWAYS looking for a 'good' flavorful breakfast sammy. For some reason Bmore really isn't all that great in the breakfast sandwich department. Not many good offerings. So when I find one, I covet it. 'Kitsch' has happily been added to that list! 'Kitsch' happens to be in the exclusive, well heeled, tree lined enclave of Roland Park (or on its perimeter). TIP: If you don't know where you're going EXACTLY, you can blink and miss it. It's nestled and muted in the base of the Carlyle Apartments on University Parkway. This is directly across from the lacrosse fields @ Johns Hopkins U. Street parking is the option and it could be tricky, depending on when you go but it is soooo worth the trip. Naturally, upon entering, 'Kitsch' is delightfully ohhh so kitschy! There are nostalgic, cute pieces all over. The plants help the space feel like ur actually in someone's home. There's even a blueprint of the Millennium Falcon on the wall (Sa-weeet!). I love everything about this spot. Initially, I was greeted by Alex and he was very friendly. Then I met Jackie (owner). She was incredibly welcoming as well. So much that we geeked out a lil bit when she saw my Avengers tee and we started talking about 'Loki' (which I will be starting today from her recommendation. I was on the fence... but) & 'The Mandalorian'... LOVED THAT! Now, on to the star of this review. My 'Sammy of choice': 1) Bacon, scrambled egg & pepper jack cheese on a golden brown brioche bun housing a pillowy soft interior slathered w/ a generous squirting of gochujang mayo. I added onions & cilantro for some 'punch'. This 'Sammy' was so good that I didn't just eat it, I actually INHALED it. When a breakfast sandwich is done 'right', it truly is a things of beauty... and THIS was one of those times. The flavors melded perfectly. You could actually taste every single thing on this sammy. Nothing overpowered anything. So fresh, so delicious... so right!!! TRIPLE WORD SCORE!!! 2) Pink Lemonade - so refreshing. Not too sweet. Not too tart. Juuuuuust right. SCORE! 3) Kitsch Bar - chocolate fudge filled w/ butterscotch & pretzels. I haven't had the pleasure to dive into this lil piece of Heaven yet but I mean, come on, did you READ the ingredients?!? This can't be ANYTHING but awesome, right?!?!? So I'll prematurely just say... SCORE!! Customer Suggestion: Signage that pops / stands out. This lil gem is potentially missing a MASSIVE customer base due to the lack of signage. This is definitely a winner and I want them to do exceedingly well. Talent is hard to find and Jackie KNOWS how to prepare food. Without question... 'I'll be back'!!!! read more

Kitsch Cafe is an adorable, smart cafe. It's TINY, and the proprietor is a smart lady who thought to herself: what can I make in this tiny space? The answer: coffee and breakfast and lunch (egg) sandwiches! Sadly, we were between meals when we stopped in, so we only got to try their coffee (iced Americanos as it was a warm day and we had been walking around Charles Village and Wyman Park for a few hours), but I'd love to come back to try their food! The steak and egg sounds so up my alley (brisket, spicy honey, mushroom, fried egg, pepperjack cheese on brioche!?)! You can order online ahead! There's no seating at Kitsch, but they're just across from the park - you can enjoy your coffee or meal there! They're a great little business, and I look forward to supporting them when we make the move to Baltimore later this year! read more

This small little restaurant is delicious! We ended up having their Cuban and Monte Cristo sandwiches which were amazing! Everything about the sand which was delicious, the bread was savory, soft and warm, the monte cristo by far was my favorite! It was a mixture of sweet and savory with the strawberry jam, turkey and jalapeño, best of both worlds! As for their Cuban, it was also very very good! We also ended up having their smoothies and their chai tea which was also very very delicious! Everyone there was also very amiable with fantastic customer service! Lovely small location with great service and delicious food. Highly recommend if you love breakfast sandwiches, they have a large array and you will not Hebe disappointed! read more

fantastic to go place for customized breakfast sandwich. Egg was tasty and must get brioche bread! On top of this, I had to get the iced coffee... that was delish!

I had to park on the street temporarily... or go with someone and have them sit in the car. I'd return for other food! read more

Tucked underneath Carlyle Apartments, this small cafe packs a punch! Meant more for takeaway, you arrive at the counter immediately upon entry and are greeted warmly by the cafe staff. With customizable, BYO options, the menu offers something for meat and plant eaters alike. I ordered the avocado toast and BYOBreaky sandwich, going vegetarian with hummus, cheddar, and lots of veggies on multigrain toast. The bread on both was thick, flavorful and fresh, providing a perfect sandwich vehicle. The avo toast came with a generous portion of slices, leading to a satisfying big bite. The sandwich was also satisfyingly ingredient packed, especially hitting the spot given the "order exactly what you're in the mood for" BYO option. I'll have to try more of the sauce options next time! read more
