    I chose to wfh here in a Friday and the space is small and cozy. The sandwich I had was very good and I'd definitely come back to work again. I enjoyed being able to sit at the window and watch folks walking around the neighborhood. The employees were so nice and willing to chat in down time. I asked for suggestions and they all have me their faves on the menu and I went with the tuna melt!

    Side of Bacon
    Kymbaly W.

    I ordered my food through DoorDash and when I received it, it was still warm which I appreciated it. The bacon is thick cut and salty, just how I like it. That made the sandwich even better because the bacon was thick cut and not the regular bacon others serve. The croissant was soft and flaky and I appreciate how the cheese was melted to perfection. I really enjoyed my sandwich and would order it again. The hash browns unfortunately were not seasoned at all. Very bland! I had to add salt and pepper, reheat it and then add ketchup. They gave me a big portion but they weren't good. I can make them better at home. Over all I would order the breakfast sandwich again. Maybe I'll try something else at another time.

    SO MUCH CHEESE EW

    Ordered the capaches on Grubhub. It arrived cold and covered with a TON of nasty cheese, like probably 6 slices of cheese. Soaked in oil completely gross

    Cute local spot!

    OMG Baltimore!!! What the flip is going on On this Hill Cafe! Yes it's cute, trendy and has all the artsy type coming in and out. I swear I'm on a movie set. But then I tasted the food! And it's even better than the great and fast service and the cool aesthetic! I thought I was coming for waffles but I didn't see them on the menu (my bad). So I opted for morning cachapas w scrambled eggs and plant based chorizo! My mouth was singing - don't ya know!? It was sweet, savory, buttery goodness in my mouth! The corn cake took away any waffles craving I could have started off with and the chorizo is nothing I ever tasted- I just wanted more! I want another breakfast ASAP- I can't wait to try their other items and this place is my new BMore fav

    Asada Tacos, steak
    Karol M.

    I've worked at MICA for 15 years and have always loved On the Hill! In fact when I first started, I would go almost everyday and then realized that wasn't healthy for my budget. I had the tacos Asada with steak and they were delicious! Meat was flavorful and juicy. Only thing is that there were so many juices that by the time I got to my second and third taco, the tortilla had fallen apart. On the Hill closed during the pandemic and re-opened a few weeks ago with a brand new look and menu (it's now a full-Latinx menu). I have to say that I miss the personal touch and being able to talk with the workers; everything is now electronic/computer but it's also limited with custom options. I ate there today and my coworker doesn't like avocado, made a note in her order, but it wasn't followed and still got avocado. I just hope their able to move the needle to be a little more personable and customer-oriented.

    I stopped in for a quick luck. I ordered online so my sandwich was hot and ready when I arrived. I got the Zola Chicken Sandwich and it was so good. Would definitely go back.

    On the Hill (OTH) was my 'go to' spot for many years (nearly a decade). I could always count on this spot to provide delicious treats/ meals, without fail. Once the pandemic hit, things changed drastically. They shut down for quite some time. Then reopened as a Latin 'to go' eatery. That didn't last long. They shut back down and stayed down for a while. Now OTH is back. The menu has been pared down quite a bit and some of my fave offerings are no longer available. That aside, I'm still loyal so I decided to try the... Everything Bagel & Lox: Toasted Everything Bagel, Cream Cheese, Tomato, Bermuda Onion, Cucumber. Capers. This preparation came chock full of delicious ingredients. The onion used was red onion and not Bermuda... but aside from that, the bagel was stacked nicely. I was excited to destroy this once I got to my destination. Once unwrapped and I took my 1st bite, I couldn't bite all the way thru the bagel. I thought it was a 'fluke' so I tried a different area. NOPE! The ENTIRE bagel was inedible. The inside was soft like dough and the crust (top/bottom) was hard as a rock. Not even crispy pretzel hard but ROCK HARD. Evidently, this bagel is stale and/freezer burned. I couldn't bite through. I tried scraping the toppings and it was incredibly messy. I ended up dropping pieces and just got frustrated. As u can see in the pics, the entire bagel is till there, petrified for the earth to never be able to breakdown. What a shame. What a waste. What a disappointment. And what makes matters worse, is I can't even contact them. They have no working phone. I don't understand how such a formerly well oiled machine has missed the mark on so many levels.

    I found this restaurant on YELP. Ordered through YELP and got a refund through YELP or whatever ordering system they have. ONE STAR because not only is the restaurant CLOSED CLOSED, THEY STILL TOOK MY ORDER, TOOK MY MONEY, GAVE ME A PICKUP TIME AND NOBODY CONTACTED ME ABOUT ANYTHING. So of course when I pull up to the location I am confused to as why there's a closed sign on the door, the chairs are turned upside down on the tables and no one is inside. I call customer support and they refund my money, but of course it is going to take 3 to 7 business days to return. Someone had to except the order and start the process for me to get any of those notifications. They could've easily cancelled the order without me having to go through this process of waiting to get my money back when they knew they had been closed for a while now.

    Holy cow, the pastries here are INSANE!

I will say finding solid seating here is tough, and it is packed tight. But it is handicap accessible, and gets some great light. It's right across the street from a wonderful consignment shop and Ottobar, which makes it an ideal place to grab a quick lil bev if there's an outdoor market happening. The hours here are a bit odd, but otherwise I think this is a great spot to get some work done if you don't mind loud, dense environments. I also appreciate the space heaters sprinkled about the seating area to ensure everyone gets some heat in this large hall. I can only hope they do something with that awesome firepit out front.

Like the other location, pastries and sandwiches are all made on site. The price point is quite insane for a cafe in which I purchased a pre made tuna sandwich, cheesecake and a iced oatmilk lavender latte for a grand total of $27!! It was very busy with college students studying and a few others sitting inside. I was able to grab seating outside under the umbrellas as it was raining. My tuna salad sandwich was tasty but the bread a bit hard as it was sitting stacked up pre made. The cheesecake was okay and my latte needed to be remade as it was quite bitter. All in all, its not a lot to rave about especially with the high price point. I may return but its better options with cheaper price points.

This was my second visit, and it definitely lived up to the first. On my first stop, I had the ham and Swiss panini with a cookie butter latte. The sandwich was grilled perfectly, crispy on the outside, melty and satisfying inside, and the latte was absolutely delicious. I was honestly bummed to learn the cookie butter latte was seasonal because it deserves a permanent spot on the menu. This time around, I tried the breakfast panini and added ham, along with an iced sugar cookie latte (another seasonal drink that was so good). The food was pleasant and comforting, and once again, the drink really stole the show. Overall, Llamas Corner nails the combo of great atmosphere, thoughtful food, and creative drinks. I'll definitely be back... just crossing my fingers that some of those seasonal lattes become regulars.

There are two kiosks where you order. I got the french toast matcha latte which was ready quickly. The matcha wasn't the best quality or wasn't prepared properly, imo. It tasted very soapy and the french toast flavor wasn't very noticeable. I've definitely had much better matcha in Baltimore and wouldn't recommend Llamas' if you're particular about your matcha. Maybe their coffee is better? I also noticed a section on the menu labeled "gluten free" but the only option listed was a bag of chips. Would be nice to see some other offerings for GF folks.

It was a community dinner party with Chef Char. You had a choice of a ticket with or without wine pairing. Me and my friend chose the ticket with wine pairing. The ticket included two glasses of wine. The menu was not printed online so we went in kinda blind on what was served. The first course was a roasted vegetable dish which consisted of broccoli, fingerling potatoes and pears with a Greek yogurt sauce. The second course was chicken thighs with risotto in a tomato sauce and the third course was a granola strudel with pears. There was also an arugula salad with grapefruit segments and parmesan cheese. I can be brutally honest, none of the courses were seasoned well. The first course was cold, the vegetables were wilted and did not mesh well. Was not expecting pears to be with my roasted vegetables. The second course was underwhelming as well. The food did not have any flavor and the dessert was not my favorite at all. I only ate the fruit out of the dessert. The chef did come out and let us know what each course was, however I felt that she really wasn't too personable with the guests. A few of the guests at the table were her friends so she only engaged with them, and of course they hyped her up, however the food was bland and underwhelming and the majority of the guests including myself did not finish their plates. If there is another community dinner, I hope it will be with a different chef in mind As I stated before my review is of the event, not the business as a whole.
