    I accompanied a few people here. Parking is very tight on the street but there is parking located in the rear. We arrived after 1pm and was able to get seates within 30 minutes with a number of parties waiting ahead of us. This was my first time eating here and the eatery in general. There is seating available in 3 different areas to include upstairs. The womans rest roomm was pretty clean for the volume of people dining in. After looking over the menu and mouth watering. I chose Ms. Shirley Bloody Mary, fried green tomatoes and Chicken w/pineapple upside down waffles. In the party others ordered buffalo shrimo deviled eggs, gumbo, shrimp tacos and a seafood type omelette. The fried green tomatoes were hard and not of good seasoning, the others enjoyed the buffalo shrimp deviled eggs. The gumbo was not enjoyed thus was sent back. My Ms. Shirley Bloody Mary was not as desired; taste of Old Bay seasoned tomato juice. Ths pineapple upside down waffles were fluffy but deceiving on the part of thinking it was going to be like the cake. It was like 3 little mini belgian waffles with pieces of pineapples tossed on top of the batter before cooking. But they were okay. The other party enjoyed the rest of the meals. I didnt snap the meal photos as we indulged quickly as we were hungry and I forgot. Our server was great and attentive. She was definitely on of the best servers Ive had. The menu was very inviting and appealing but the food did not match up to the mouthwatering description and pictures.

    Blackened Salmon Benedict

    This was my first time at this location, I am familiar with the Miss Shirley's brand. The food is always good, it was refreshing to see consistency at another location. I ordered the blackened salmon Benedict and the crabby omelette to share. There was a lot of fresh handpicked crab in the omelette, delicious. The salmon Benedict was good as well but I'll definitely be coming back for the crab omelette. The staff are really nice and there is also plenty of street parking available.

    Haven't been here in a few years. Went for breakfast and thoroughly enjoyed my visit. Staff was amazing as usual, atmosphere was great, and overall a wonderful meal. Will definitely be back in the near future

    Stopped in for Baltimore Restaurant Week since it had been a few years since my last visit, and the food was just as good as I remembered! They were offering a 2-course meal for $25, so I went with Nana's Grapefruit Brûlée and the Chicken & Cheddar Green Onion Waffle. Both were just as delicious as I remembered from my last visit! The restaurant has plenty of seating, making it a great spot for family outings. Since the weather was nice, I sat outside and enjoyed the sunshine. The service was truly 10/10, every server who walked by checked in to see if I needed anything. If you haven't been yet, this place is definitely a Baltimore brunch staple!

    Went during restaurant week last year, got the grapefruit brûlée, chicken and waffles, another time got the crab soup and skillet for around $30 pp. Loved the food and service was good as the waffles were undercooked the first time and they redid it.

    I had the best breakfast I've had in Baltimore and I can't believe I've been sleeping on this place! Miss Shirley's is top tier! The restaurant is large and there was a wait but it moved pretty quickly. I had the pineapple upside down pancakes and it was like something I have never tasted. I usually only eat plain pancakes but I am so happy I took the waitress' advice and tried these! 10 out of 10! Now let me tell you about the shrimp and grits.... When they came out I was immediately turned off by the presentation. But after taking my first bite I was hooked! It was the best combo! Shrimp, grits and fried green tomato! Chefs kiss! And it was so filling! I don't want shrimp and grits any other way now. I can't wait to go back and try some of the other dishes!

    I haven't been to Miss Shirley's in some years & I'm soooo glad I stopped in. It wasn't crowded, which I assumed it would be - let's not get it twisted, the place is busy on the weekends. However, I was very fortunate - I was seated immediately. My server was very pleasant & helped me make my brunch decision. She made happy when she told me my choice, the Pineapple Upside Pancakes, were available in waffles too (that will be what I get next). Everything was good & my awesome server, Emily, made sure my glass never got to empty. Cant wait to go back & try the other Breakfast choices...

    Key Lime Cheesecake Stuffed French Toast

    If you are going for weekend brunch get there early! The hostess was very helpful and accommodating. Our waiter was detailed oriented and casually professional. I love the orange colors through the restaurant; very vibrant and high energy. The vibe was great from start to finish. They have a lot of uniques menu items and ingredient combinations. I ordered the garden omelette, key lime stuffed French toast, shredded potatoes , pimento cheese biscuits and the peach & goat cheese biscuits. After the first bite of the pimento cheese biscuits everything else did not stand a chance! Please check out Miss Shirley's if you want good food that you don't have to wait a long time to get your food after ordering.

    So I've been to Miss Shirley's a few times over the years and this was the first time I think I was actually disappointed in my selections. The fried green tomatoes were disappointed, and this was supposed to be the highlight of my brunch. The cornmeal mixture was a little sweet, and tacky tasting. Meaning it gave a gummy consistency. I was not a fan of this after sending it back once because of its light coating. I wanted it a heavier covered. I think that they reread it was already sent out making the consistency a little off. The banana bread French toast was underwhelming understand that a lot of people have no allergies but as an aside nuts could've been added or at least offered It's an up charge if you want whipped cream. Very disappointed. A server was very nice. Management was very pleasant and attended to my needs and ambience is always clean and welcoming.

    Best meal we had in our time around Baltimore! It was a cool surprise to see it was on an episode of DDD. The breakfast was BOMB (we visited twice in 4 days)! Staff was very attentive and friendly, asking our names and checking in regularly. Management also walked around for quality checks. Smiles all around made it feel like a real mom and pop shop. Fun atmosphere, great food, kind service. A+!

    Ive been here several times in the last 6 years, but it has been a while. We came on a Sunday around 11am, and it was a packed house, but they were able to get us in right away. The food is still really good , and their menu is so expansive. Something for classic breakfast lovers, experimental breakfast lovers, health conscious friends, and folks with several dietary restrictions. Our service on this day was a little scattered on this day. Seemed like our server could use more training or was having an off day. The restaurant is very spacious and although it was busy, ran rather smoothly.

    I wish I loved Miss Shirley's more. It's a Baltimore staple and some folks swear by it, but I'm always underwhelmed when I leave. However the vibes of the establishment do take it from a 3-star to a 4-star review for me. Food - the portions are generous but the quality is average. The pricing is also on the higher side. I think sticking to classics like pancakes and eggs will probably be the highest yield on the menu. Service - excellent, they are well staffed and very attentive. Food does come out to the table very quickly. Ambience - the location is so cute and right on Cold Spring Lane. There is a small parking lot in the back that you could get lucky and find a spot in but otherwise there is plentiful street parking. The decor makes you feel so nostalgic for Baltimore of old even if you haven't grown up here!

    Get Your Grits On* ** ***
    Tami F.

    I've been here several times and always want to try something different cuz there are so many amazing things on the menu but I always get the shrimp & grits! There is a fried green tomato on bottom topped with grits & shrimp....amazing !! The fried green tomato is a little hard but when u eat it all together with grits & shrimp it's so good !! The coconut cream filled French toast is amazing as well! I tasted the chicken & waffles which was good but the waffle was a little weird it tasted sweet at first then the savory of the cheese & onions hits so to me I would just get plain waffles! Overall great atmosphere, service & food.

    I visited Blueprint Cafe on a Wednesday morning. There were already a few people lined up when we…read morearrived, and it continued to get busier as we sat down and waited for our food. I loved the selection of pastries they offered--the pandan pastry was definitely my favorite. My husband ordered the drip coffee over ice, and I got the Vietnamese iced coffee. Both coffees were excellent. The Vietnamese coffee was a bit too sweet for my taste, and it was served in a very small glass. I think it would have been even better with a little more coffee to balance the sweetness. For lunch, we ordered the kimbap and the egg bowl, and both dishes were outstanding. The only downside was that it took about 35 minutes for our food to arrive. However, the cafe was extremely busy and clearly backed up, so we didn't mind the wait too much--especially since the food was so delicious. The indoor space is quite small, but they do offer outdoor seating. I can't wait to come back and try more of their Asian-inspired pastries and dishes. What a fantastic addition to the neighborhood!

The play on sweet and savory is just so comforting. I also had the apple cinnamon butter muffin and the muffin top was insanely delicious. The crumble on top of the apple butter was gluttony. I beleive they rotate their muffins regularly which I appreciate. I've had their raspberry matcha in the summer which I remember tasted so fresh on a hot day. And I recently had their 5 spice latte which was a great balance of spice and sweet. Overall, I honestly would consider moving to the area just to live next to this cafe not being dramatic at all.

It's within the Johns Hopkins college campus & a neighborhood, so parking is really horrible. I ended up parking in a non spot and putting my hazards on. It's a cute little, but spacious place located next to an airport building. It's on the corner and has a nice little outside seating area with about 5 tables. Inside is bigger than it looks and has a nice amount of seating as well. Since my time was limited, I didn't really get to explore the menu like I wanted, so I ordered a hazelnut latte and a ham & cheese croissant. Their croissants looked so good, I wanted one of each. They also had several toasts on their menu. I'll have to go back for sure! Th service was regular, you order, they tell you how much you owe and you pay. I got in my car and couldn't wait. My first bite was like a bite into heaven. Every bite was the same way, so delicious & delicate. I wish I had two. The latte was perfect, just the right amount of hazelnut. Kanom Cafe is a must try!

I tried one thing here, so this review is based on that! Pekara was a charming and unassuming bakery. It felt very Eastern European and when we arrived around 10am, a lot of things were sold out. This is definitely more of a takeout spot, but you are able to sit there if you'd like. The person behind the cashier was really kind and patient. We tried the blueberry puff.

For…read morestarters, I am absolutely obsessed with crookies, aka cookie croissants, and this one did not disappoint. Warming up was the way to go! It was chewy yet the cookie part melted in your mouth and had the perfect ratio of cookie to croissant. The strawberry matcha was the perfect drink combo. The real strawberry purée on the bottom made it taste fresh. It definitely needed a very good mix, but then it was perfect. The almond milk made it creamy, which has become my new favorite milk choice when ordering matcha. Service was top tier. Quick and easy.

Like maybe order something you can eat on the go tbh. I ordered a strawberry croffle and a strawberry matcha tea latte. I crushed both of them because it was delicious. The whipped topping on the croffle wasn't thick and grainy or too light to where it instantly melted. It kept a shape while being light and fluffy and not overly sweet. The strawberry matcha latte also was pretty good. All in all I'd recommend this spot to anyone walking around the neighborhood and indulging in some shopping in the area.
