We requested outdoor seating, request granted. The upstairs patio is spacious and comfortable; fans helping to cool the summer afternoon. Our server was friendly, attentive, and made the experience feel easy and relaxed. We ordered the Salmon BLT and the deviled eggs topped with lump crabmeat, along with (1) coffee, (2) mimosas and (1) white sangria- which was my favorite. Everything was delicious, and the patio was a great place to unwind after our hike. The music --a high-energy playlist from the night before (i assumed) still on an active loop. An interesting lunch sound treatment that didn't take away from a really enjoyable meal. Great food, relaxed atmosphere, and friendly service. I'll definitely be back!

Although we were there on a Monday at lunchtime, the dining area quickly became busy and loud. We ordered some crab dip, which they were able to provide some gluten-free bread for. I really liked the crab dip! It was creamy and flavorful. After placing some salad orders, the food came out, but we were not brought utensils to eat. The meat was not cooked how we asked for it to be, and one of the plates had to be sent back to be cooked more. After around 20 minutes, we were finally given forks to start eating. I ordered the Ahi Tuna Salad and despite my fish being a bit underdone, it was pretty good. I wish there was more dressing on the salad though because it was a bit bland and dry. It also seemed like our waiter was super stressed as he was genuinely running through the restaurant at times.

Miss Shirley's Cafe is a bustling local institution renowned for decadent and scrumptious…read moreSouthern-inspired flavors that will leave you cravin' for days! I have had the chance to dine at their Inner Harbor location when I attended a conference in 2018, and I just had to have it at the Roland Park location, since I was on my way to Owings Mills to run some errands for the weekend. This location has parking (they have a spacious lot in the back, as well as some on-street parking) in an honestly really nice neighborhood that gives you that suburban, small-town vibe. Upon arriving right after they had just opened at 8:00 a.m., an aesthetically-inspiring and vibrant atmosphere awoke my eyes, with the bold orange and purple walls adorning wall art - in an intimate, yet spacious interior dining room, along with a courteous, friendly, and personable waiting staff! Miss Shirley's Cafe is a warm and inviting restaurant, with a host stand just inside the main door & the main dining room right behind it. Immediately to the left of the host stand is an open doorway to a waiting area and the East Room, a small dining space that seats about 25. Upstairs is a terrace that seats 40-50, used as a semi-private dining space and overflow dining space as needed. To the right of the main dining room is the Rock Room, a private function space that seats about 80. In case you'd like to know, they do not accept reservations, and if you don't come in right away once they open, you may have to wait for a bit. Breakfast all day makes Miss Shirley's Cafe stand out from many restaurants in the area. The restaurant is open for breakfast, brunch and lunch, and closes for the day at 3:00 p.m. Many of their employees have been on staff since the beginning, and part of the reason is because they can be home in the evenings with their families. The Miss Shirley's Cafe menu is huge, and includes morning cocktails, appetizers, sides, house favorites, omelets, pancakes, soups & salads, sandwiches, and lunch combos. Since it was Baltimore County Restaurant Week (it ran from July 18th to August 2nd), they offered a 2-course prix-fixe menu for $25 - which comes with an appetizer and an entreé of your choice, not a bad deal per say! I opted for their Cajun Shrimp & Corn Stew (which was hearty and comforting - and the flavor was just right), definitely filled my stomach with a warm sensation to begin my day. As for my entreé, I did not regret getting the B'more Breakfast Bowl, which I had substituted for all egg white scrambled eggs, topped with Parmesan, Roasted Sweet Potato, Sautéed Spinach, Roasted Corn, Tri-Colored Cherry Tomatoes and Onions with Lemon & Dill, Pickled Jalapeños and avocado slices. It was the perfect combination to start my long day of running errands and getting stuff done. I definitely would've opted for their heartier and meatier choices; but I didn't want to feel bloated for the remainder of the day while trying to be productive, LOL. I highly recommend ya'll try Miss Shirley's Cafe when your travels call you to Baltimore - and don't tell you I didn't warn you!

I am plant based vegan and always get skeptical when I travel and try to find true plant based vegan options.

The food options on the menu I would definitely eat but I had already eaten prior and just wanted a green juice.

Notably, this place was open into the evening, despite the name. I found the perfect occasion to try it, but what I got wasn't quite what I was looking for. While they definitely have the luxury of fresh ingredients and are all vegetarian I think, their interpretation of a kale caesar had more grains than greens. It seems weird being in the position of wishing there was more kale in my kale salad. The hearts of palm were interesting, and while I was critical for a moment of the staff having a conversation about not knowing what hearts of palm are, admittedly I wasn't quite sure myself (it pretty much is what it sounds like). However, the amount of parmesan they were cooked in was heavier and saltier than I was expecting for a salad. I'm not saying it didn't taste good, but again, though it was a full box of freshly made food, it just was not really what I was looking for. Maybe some of the other items are different.

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. And for what it's worth, this was the group's top pastry of the day. I love that they toasted it up for us. The pastry itself was buttery perfection and the custard inside was really nice. One of us bought sourdough bread to-go that seemed really delicious. I'd come back to this bakery to try more.

This is Puerto Rican pitorro, also known as ron cañita, made with care and intention rather than gimmickry. Many local liquor stores now carry the brand, and it is well worth picking up a bottle, but visiting the distillery is an experience in itself. The founder is a fellow Puerto Rican born retired military member, a background I share, and like me, he has put down roots in Maryland. That story is reflected clearly in the brand's own framing, "Puerto Rican born, Maryland made." The space feels grounded and unpretentious, and that sensibility carries through to the hospitality. We arrived late on a Saturday and were still welcomed warmly, never rushed. We were taken care of by the founder's daughter, who was exceptionally kind, attentive, and knowledgeable. She guided us through a flight that included the traditional pitorro, almond, pineapple, coffee, coconut chai, and several seasonal offerings. The flavors were thoughtful and well balanced; even the infused expressions retained a clear rum backbone rather than drifting into novelty. We enjoyed them enough to leave with several bottles. This is artisanal pitorro done right, rooted in Puerto Rican tradition and confidently made in Maryland. Buying it locally is convenient, but going to the distillery is where the people, the story, and the spirit fully come together.
