Continuing on my list of coffee shops, I tried The Reister's Daughter in Reisterstown, MD. This…read moreplace was great. We met some friends and were able to find both parking and a table. 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.

Stopped into kismet cafe on a Sunday late morning. It was pretty busy inside. We placed our order…read moreat the counter for 2 bacon, egg, and cheese bagels. We had to wait about 15 minutes but it was worth the wait! My bagel was delicious. The everything bagel was soft and the bacon was crispy. The egg was kind of like a hotel egg but that was ok to me. The inside of the cafe is modern with about 7-9 tables and a small patio for warmer weather. There is also a restroom for customers. I would recommend this place!

Wanted to try something better than Dunkin for my Friday morning commute. A friend of mine had…read morebought me a pastry from them before, and it was great, so I thought I'd give it a shot seeing it was local and on my way to work. Unfortunately, I don't think I'll be coming back for a while, and here's why... I ordered about 15 minutes ahead. Website said it would take 20-25 minutes before it was ready. So I expected at max to wait 5-10 minutes when I got there. Instead it was a standstill at the drive thru with only two cars in front of me with one or two people in each. Let me tell you, I can usually arrive to work a half hour early on Fridays -that's including a stop at Dunkin WITHOUT ordering ahead. This place? I barely got to work on time!!! It took them an extra HALF HOUR from when I pulled up to the drive thru just to hand me ONE sandwich and ONE small latte!!! And my latte was literally just coffee, milk, and a pump of sugar!!! ABSOLUTELY RIDICULOUS. I've worked these kinds of places before; I'm not making it up when I say I could've walked behind the counter and made it myself in half that time! I will say the staff was very friendly and apologetic, but EXTREMELY disorganized. The sandwich and coffee were good, but a little expensive and not worth the ridiculous wait time. Until management can find a better system, I will not be back here on my Friday morning commutes. Such a shame for a local spot with good food!

Usually they offer at least 2 types of vegan milk for the coffee drinks.

Coffee Beanery in Owings Mills is my daily go‑to spot -- truly my favorite takeout place ever --…read moreand the reason is simple: Farouk and his incredible team. Every day, I order my caramel crunch swirl drink with whipped cream and an extra shot of espresso, plus both a mango smoothie and a strawberry‑banana smoothie. Their drinks are exceptional -- and their smoothies are honestly the best I've ever had anywhere. I recognized Farouk the very first day I walked in, even before I knew why. He used to serve me at Rita's across the street, and he's one of those rare lights of a human you never forget -- not because of what they say, but because of how they make you feel. When he looked up and said, "How are you, my friend? I used to serve you at Rita's!" everything clicked. He remembers my name. He remembers my complicated daily order to the letter. He greets me with warmth every single time -- even when I walk in two minutes before closing. And unlike so many places these days, he never shows irritation or rushes me. He makes me feel valued. One night, I accidentally called 30 minutes after they had already closed -- and Farouk still answered the phone, cheerfully, by name, and took my order anyway. Only after confirming it would be ready did he gently mention their Sunday hours. He still insisted I come pick it up. That kind of customer service is almost unheard of today. There's also Yani, who is shy but incredibly talented. She listens with her whole heart and makes drinks that feel like little works of art. She puts genuine care into every cup. And the kindness doesn't stop there. I've been surprised with freebie drinks when there was extra smoothie mix, offered a mistaken drink for free, and even had two drinks remade after I dropped them in the parking lot. Farouk saw it happen, took the empty cups from my hands, and recreated them without hesitation. Moments like these create customers for life. Coffee Beanery deserves a solid 5 stars across every platform. ---

The ambience is cute and quiant It's just the old Starbucks with a new name and way higher prices!
