The gentleman was kind and quick to assist me. I would be too if you're making this much money off of people. The ambience is cute and quiant It's just the old Starbucks with a new name and way higher prices! I understand this is a small business... oat milk was a dollar extra & flavor with a dollar extra as well making my 16oz almost $9 I got the Dubai brownie which was $8 for 2 x 3 size. The coffee is strong and good! It's hard for me to enjoy it when I had to pay with MySoul

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. ---

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.

I got a small iced PSL w/oatmilk and light ice. There was a very steady flow of customers. The warmed up bread pudding came out within reason but my psl to an unusual time to get to me. I honestly believe they skipped over my ticket as folks coming well after me receives their orders and left. A few minutes of house cleaning (wiping tables) was needed. Ive never been in here feeling like it was trashy and cluted but today it felt a little as such. I was satisified with my PSL and bread pudding. I left with goodness but wish I could have had my wrap.

The peach cobbler roll was a great seasonal take on a classic pastry and not overly sweet for a cinnamon roll. The cookie dough croissant is RICH, I couldn't finish one, but it was perfect for sharing. Not pictured are banana bread iced lattes which were delicious, but I would probably ask for extra syrup next time as the banana bread flavor was pretty subtle compared to how well flavored their other drinks are. Service was quick and efficient but some tips for first timers: there's a menu board for drinks out where the line is, but the pastry menu is only available once you're at the counter. And the pastries are on a rack, so you won't be able to view and decide ahead of time. This coffee shop is counter service only, there's one long table and benches under a covering but no indoor seating.

They looked so fluffy I was so jealous!! But still, I was more than satisfied with my bacon and eggs. I asked for over medium eggs and got it exactly how I wanted it, the whites were cooked throughout and the yolk, runny and delicious. The bacon was cooked perfectly and not too greasy. Everything was hot and fresh - even the fresh out of the oven chocolate chip cookie that was the perfect ratio of soft, chewy, but not flimsy! The service was warm and friendly - will definitely be back, being here was like stepping into someone's home, where the food was made with love and intentionality.
