    I came here with family for a quick celebratory late breakfast, and it was such a great choice! The place was pretty quiet (probably because it was a weekday), which made it feel even cozier. Keith was at the front and he was incredibly helpful, answering all our questions with patience. The staff in the back were just as friendly and welcoming. I had the breakfast burrito and it was absolutely delicious. Other family members ordered the chicken & waffles and the Arbutus plate, and everyone was really happy with their meals. For drinks, we tried a hot coffee, iced pumpkin spice latte, hot vanilla chai, and mango lemonade--each one was a hit. The cafe has such a homey feel, like a classic diner where you can really relax and enjoy your meal. We'd all definitely come back again!

    Oh, I love this place!!!! My family was in the area to celebrate a citizenship ceremony at the Baltimore Field Office, and we came here for a celebratory brunch!! This place is so cute, vibey, and has a great atmosphere. The food and drinks are SOOO good and reasonably priced. We ate our food and drinks so fast because it was so good. We literally finished eating within 10-15 minutes. I ordered the chicken and waffles, along with a vanilla chai latte. Delicious!!!! Everything was homemade. Everything on the menu sounded super good and original for the restaurant. Our drinks are made on the spot. Our servers, Keith, were the sweetest and so kind. He was so helpful answering every question that we had, checking in about our food and drinks to ensure we were satisfied. He was the best. We don't eat pork, so both he and the chefs made sure to make substitutions to accommodate our dietary restrictions. The place is so cute (see pictures attached). There's artwork along the wall for sale. I truly love this place and would highly recommend it to others for a cute bite to eat solo, with family, or with friends. Thres ton of parallel parking out front and I will be back next week to try something else on the menu even though i dont live in the area. After submitting this review, I'd better not see this place empty on a Tuesday morning, again!!!!

    We had been here once before and weren't as impressed as much as we were today. Jeremiah, our server was fabulous! Everything was served with a smile and a great attitude. The food was cooked perfectly and we enjoyed everything we ordered. Looking forward to trying breakfast here in time. Great place to go if your are in Arbutus hanging out!

    Definitely coming back .. thanks to Jeremiah ( I hope that's his name) his energy from start to finish made this experience worth wild. The food was GREAT... the breakfast potatoes were AMAZING... the spinach omelet was made to perfection . Overall the food was great . The place its self is small yet cute . The decor could be updated . But again I highly recommend stopping by .

    What in the world am I doing in Arbutus? Planning a rare lunch with two coworkers proximate to Catonsville, another coworker from the area steered us toward Arbutus' fairly new Martha's--where old school diner meets modern taste. Fresh food, fresh faces, homey vibe! I enjoyed my fine grilled (or crispy) chicken sandwich on roll with "shreddy letty" and other condiments with Parmesan fries and Old Bay broccoli sides. My cos enjoyed shrimp and creamy tan grits and the breakfast plate. Service from various young and upbeat staff was efficient and attention to our diet and allergy requests much appreciated. Definitely nice to know this varied menu cafe in a quiet residential area is around for brunch and lunch!

    Really cute place inside! The Service was just ok.....The food lacked flavor. The best thing was the toast and avocado. The iced coffee was all cream! Hot coffee had no flavor. They need to add Turkey bacon or turkey sausage to there menu for the non-pork eaters. They were out of cinnamon rolls which was the one thing I went there for.

    The food a service was sensational, and it feels safe, a great atmosphere. The farm fresh eggs were wonderful. Will return

    Finally made it to Martha's Cafe - why did I wait so long?! Delicious food, attentive/cheerful service and overall an awesome experience! Chicken and waffles and creamed chipped beef with Pullman toast were fresh and good portions.

We were walking out to Michael Jackson's Man in the Mirror and honestly it felt like a perfect sendoff. Between the two of us we worked through sausage, bacon, eggs, grits, French toast, and potatoes -- everything was fresh, well-seasoned, and came out fast. The service was friendly without being over the top. Fair warning: don't come expecting espresso drinks or mimosas, it's a traditional diner. But they do have oat milk, and fresh dairy alternatives. This is the kind of neighborhood spot you want in your rotation. Highly recommend -- we'll definitely be back.

But I had not previously gone in because it is BUSY!!!! In going during less peak times, I have been overjoyed by each visit. The biggest surprise is the New Mexico influence to many dishes. They even know what "Christmas style" is!! The food is far superior to most diners. Seating is limited, but there are outdoor tables when the weather is nice. Service is attentive, and orders are processed quickly. I encourage anyone who has also walked past Doozy's to stop and give them a try. You won't be disappointed.

We were lucky to get a table for four at 11am on Saturday! Their menu offered creative versions of many classics: $22 Shrimp & Grits of medium-spicy shrimp & Andouille, cheesy-cheddar-grits, and a balanced savory trio of onion, shallots, and chives. Marvellous! Their generous $15 Avocado Toast: sculpted creamy Hass Avocado over bright arugula greens, next to fresh sourdough crunchy toast, with a dish of heirloom cherry tomato awakened with a tangy marinade. Art you can eat, at a nice price. A lovely $20.50 stack of Classic French Toast was chunky powdered sugar over perfectly grilled eggy syrupy brioche under a mound of light whipped-butter, with flavorful soft peach chunks and a large fresh mint leaf. It certainly was delicious! We had $19 light fluffy scrambled eggs over fresh greens and halved cherry tomatoes, with sausage links, over avocado-spread toast. Another delight. It was a calm, refreshing, relaxing brunch. I will say the price seemed a bit high, but it was worth it for the splendid experience among a cheerful, full, room and patio. Happy Mother's Day!

Very very very bland which is so disappointing. Why don't places season their chicken??? Or maybe they surface season and don't let it marinate. The chicken isn't directly on the lettuce when you receive it though, which is smart so the heat won't wilt the lettuce. The lettuce was crispy and good amount of cheese. It was shaved and crumpled Parmesan, I believe. Croutons were good but the dressing was okay. I think it was made in house, definitely taste the anchovies but something was missing. Couldn't quite put my finger on it. Overall, I did enjoy the salad!

The second time around I got the cheese steak with whiz and I wasn't as big a fan of this. I actually ended up switching with my bf who got a tuna salad which tasted fresh and had bits of candied pecans which offset the pepperiness of the tuna crust. Service is always fast and friendly- a good neighborhood place to stop in for drinks and tavern ish fare. More a 3.5 than a 3. (Wish Yelp would implement half stars :/)
