Parking wasn't ideal, the nearby parking garage was very compact and difficult to maneuver. There is some street parking in front, but it was all taken when we visited. I ordered the Lavender Matcha Latte along with some desserts and ice cream. All items came out quickly and just as ordered. I don't have a bad thing to say about the menu. There is plenty of seating inside, making it a great option for dessert with large groups. We had 7 adults and 2 kids with no issues finding seating during our visit. The staff were kind enough to make conversation with my toddler. I appreciated their patience as I encouraged him to order for himself at the counter. Overall, a great experience and I would definitely come back if I am ever back in the area again :)

The matcha swirl is the perfect way to end a meal when you're in the merriweather area for dinner. I also enjoy the hojicha flavor but it sometimes has a slight grainy texture.

I chose the Karak Chai which is on their permanent menu. Cost was $6.36. The drink was tasty and creamy with hints of cardamom and ginger - subtle but not overpowering. Looking forward to trying more drinks. FYI: their are open in the morning and close in the afternoon.

The Pistachio Latte looked good so we got one hot, one iced so we could share & try the two variations. We asked for almond milk in the lattes. Fitting: pistachios & almonds together. Both were really good. Can really taste the pistachio flavour after stirring the latte. We'll keep Qaffee House in mind whenever we're in the area. Side note: I found their logo quite clever artistically. It made sense after I looked at the name "Qaffee House" and back to logo. The cup is the Latin letter "q" and the symbol with the two dots is the Arabic equivalent to "q", the Qaf (ق). And this leads to Arabic word for coffee: "qahwa". Nicely done blend of languages.

I always knew about this place but never tried it. I'm disappointed I didn't give it a try sooner!…read moreThe food was decent for a coffee shop. My son got a brownie and that was really good. The workers were also very willing to modify any order to make it something I wanted. However, the coffee was so much fun! The wall of beans is endless options of any notes you'd want in your coffee. They have daily brewed blends. I got the Hawaiian and it delivered. I sat there, drank my drink, and mentally went to tropical paradise in a cold brew. I'm excited to come back another day to try more flavors. Of course I walked away with 2 bags of blends to try at home.

When I first started going to Roggenart European Bakery, I would order a sandwich to go, and…read morewhether it was hot or cold, they packaged it in a clear plastic container. The presentation was beautiful--colorful, appealing, and the bread stayed firm and crusty. They truly use fresh, high-quality ingredients. Unfortunately, that has changed. Now, hot sandwiches are wrapped in paper and then in foil. This method traps moisture, causing the bread--especially their delicious sourdough--to become soggy instead of crisp. It seems like this change was made to save money, but it really takes away from both the presentation and the quality of the sandwich. For a sandwich that costs $12.95, I would gladly pay a few extra cents for the original packaging if it meant keeping the bread fresh and crusty.

I will say it's pricey but I mean what do you expect for high-quality yummy desserts. The donuts filled with some type of seasonal filling is my fav! The drinks there are also worth trying. My favorite was the tiramisu ice coffee (I think that's what it's called). Onlyyyyy thing I would say is the seating, not much seating for the amount of people who go but nonetheless still great spot.

When I saw matcha on the menu, I knew I had to check this place out! There were unique flavors…read moreranging from pistachio matcha (for taste of Dubai ) to honey lavender matcha (if you're needing a sip of relaxation). I enjoyed how fresh and cohesive the flavors were! There's also a variety of pastries offered. These are baked in their Columbia location and brought to Arundel Mills. I was intrigued by the variety of savory treats, some topped with cheese and beef, others with vegetables. I was also delighted to see macaroons, that looked pretty authentic. With all the solid options present, I landed in a pistachio donut! Now, I will say I had a bit higher expectations for the donut. The donut itself was delicious, but I would have appreciated more pistachio throughout the cream in the center or maybe even skipping out on the cream altogether. Overall I think it was certainly worth a try. The matcha, for sure, stole the show! I will be back to try another flavor of matcha and a savory pastry!

It's a smallish space and indoor seating was really full at 11 AM on a weekday. Because of rain, the outdoor benches were not in use, and I saw closed-up patio-umbrellas too. I ordered from a kiosk or you could order online or in person. I got the bacon egg and cheese croissant and it was made quickly by welcoming staff. It was a regular size croissant with very light cheese and a layer of crispy bacon pieces in a well toasted croissant. The flavor was good. This café also sells a number of beverages, including fresh ground espresso, and various teas And they sell some bakery goods, candies, and quite a variety of dry-packaged teas and coffee. The parking right in front Café Jun can get pretty full, but there's plenty parking in the rest of the shopping center. You can enter the shopping area from eastbound US-40 Baltimore National Pike, or from westbound Frederick Road. It's just east of Centennial Lane/Bethany Lane and about a mile West of US 29. The larger shopping area has a diner 3-strip mall sections, one of which is called Princess Shopping Center, so I'm a little confused which mall-name covers which shops. They have a summer concert planned! That should be fun!

People do seem to respect the 90MIN seating window though so you should be able to find a seat. You order and pay at the counter first and then they give you a table number card. This is how they find you to serve your food. I ordered a regular matcha latte, a bacon, egg and cheese sandwich on croissant bread and their famous croffle. I loved their matcha latte. It's pre-sweetened so no need to add extra vanilla syrup or anything. This does not taste like a traditional matcha, which in my opinion tastes like dirt. This is a sweeter, dessert like matcha. I didn't care for the bacon, egg and cheese sandwich. It was kind of dry and it tasted like something was missing. The croffle was amazing. It has a nutty, pecan like taste to it and it was topped with vanilla gelato and blueberries. I couldn't really taste the maple syrup but it was delicious nonetheless.
