I stopped in for lunch and was so impressed with how quick they were! It took less than 5 minutes to get my meal. They had so many fun flavor combinations and lots of vegetarian options for me. I had the vegetarian combo and it was delicious! I thought it was fairly priced and it was a good filling meal. The space was quaint and had a nice view of the Maryland State House across the street. The staff was very friendly too. read more

Representing October 2017 to 2018 alphabet series, P is for Potato Valley Cafe. My girlfriend of that time recommended Potato Valley as I had work travel to Annapolis and asked for her any recommendations. I opted to go with her recommendation, which was a good decision. This is a unique concept right by the Maryland State House, which is baked potato which are loaded with various toppings. My November 2017 visit was very good, and I visited one other time a few years later. Staff was nice as well. read more

I wanted to try this place so bad I drove all the way from Baltimore just to have lunch here. I saw this place from a post on social media and the stuffed potatoes looked SO yummy I was enthralled. Parking in Annapolis near the historic center is virtually impossible. I parked about a 1/2 mile away and walked over. If you drive here, prepare to download a parking app and use it to pay for parking. There is limited indoor seating and even though I came in on a weekday lunch, this place was still very popular. Garlic Butter with Cheddar 5/5, ok so given this was to be my first loaded potato, I wanted a more basic choice. Boy was I in for a treat!! This potato came out incredibly fast and was SO DELICIOUS. I fear I may develop a craving to this that would make me return omg the greens were fresh, the potato was nicely hot which had the cheese melt onto its warmth just wow read more

You can't not love the Potato Valley Cafe if you moderately enjoy baked potatoes. This concept from Sweden brings the standard baked potato to glorious and soaring heights. Yes, the Potato Valley Cafe is located on State Circle in Annapolis which means parking is a challenge, and yes, you'll totally be eating with the crowds of the Maryland legislative set and all of their interns, but it is totally worth the extra time! Let me tell you about my favorite potato that Barbara, the co-owner, makes: the South of the Valley is made with beans, corn, lime, mangoes, peppers and garlic butter. It also has greens and roasted Danish onions. Who would think to load all this into a baked potato? Swedes, apparently. It's a total meal and so satisfying. Read the menu for all of the varieties of these crunchy and sweet baked potatoes. read more

Delicious Spuds! My husband and I just checked in to our hotel and asked for a lunch rec at the front desk. This place was steps away but exactly what we needed. The woman who took our order was helpful and hilarious. I got the Cuban potato and my husband got the NC BBQ version. The outside skin was crispy, pillowy inside, and the toppings were plentiful and yummy. read more

Great meal, I had the vegan potato and it was amazing. First time there and I'll definitely will be back.

The food here was simple yet spectacular! Such good flavors. They have all kinds of different toppings. Highly recommend!

I checked this place as we were going to Annapolis that day. The lady who took our order was very nice and friendly. We ordered Rustic Vegan and Vegetarian combo, both were oven baked potato with toppings. Both my husband loved the flavor. She gave the kids shredded chicken and cheese on toast free of charge. We will love to visit again is we are in Annapolis. read more

This unassuming easy to miss business with poor signage is definitely worth a visit! A lot cozier inside than you'd think from the outside. Potato's are crisp skinned and very flavorful. Hot sauce selection available. We got the Cuban and the Steak & Cheddar. Enjoyed both. Got a latte on a whim and was handed a careful made excellent coffee. Doesn't need sugar or flavoring. Very good as served. Two tables outside and four tables inside. Quick service. read more

If I could eat french fries every day and not get fat and not have high cholesterol, I would. Lol. As an adult I try to make healthier choices, so a delicious baked potato is a great substitute and it satisfies my french fry craving. This is such a quaint little place in downtown Annapolis. It was easy to find and luckily I was able to find street parking nearby. Not sure what I would've done if it was a busier time of day. Also, the staff was really friendly. I was a first timer and they were really patient as I asked questions about the different offerings they had. At any rate I tried the vegetarian combo and there was all kinds of yummy goodness in my potato. There was black beans, corn, lime, mango, peppers, garlic butter, roasted onions, artichokes, and there was even a salad on the side but on top of the potato if that makes sense. The dish was so colorful and there was all types of textures and flavors going on. It was savory, with a touch of sweet, crunchy, soft, warm, with a little cool from the salad. I absolutely love the idea of a baked potato bar, which essentially is what this restaurant is. I can't wait to come back and try some of the options. I only have one complaint. The bottom of the potato wasn't as soft as I would've liked so I didn't eat the skin. Typically I like to eat the whole entire baked potato because they say there's nutrients and stuff in the skin. On a completely unrelated note, they also sell slices of Dangerously Delicious Pies. They just had one flavor in store that day. I didn't realize there was a Dangerously Delicious Pies in Annapolis. That's news to me. Glad I know. read more

Tasty vegetarian potato! Really nice people and lots of hot sauce options. Great option for a quick lunch

Potatoes were extremely difficult to eat; would have been nice to have real silverware and a plate. Choices looked appealing but our (three of us) choices did not match the description on the menu. Woman who waited on us was somewhat rude and tried to convince us to order something other that our first choice. Probably wouldn't return. read more

The food was ok. I didn't really like the quality of the chili on one of the potatoes and the workers were kinda awkward.

As a frequent Annapolis eater, I am not sure why this place slipped through my hands. 5. out. of. 5. Easy - price aside! Even though it is just your average $2 potato, it is filled with so much greatness. Whatever you're looking for, it will be available. Pictured is the loaded Caribbean potato - filled with jerk chicken. It is yummy, the customer service was great (I placed my order via phone call), and - it was $25 for 2 orders and 2 drinks. Price aside, it was a good experience. If you have some extra money - go! Sidebar - I wonder if there is soup available? That'd be a great add to the business if I didn't already overlook it. read more

Potato Valley Cafe - Caribbean loaded. - Cafes Near Me - Annapolis, Maryland

If you're thinking stuffed potatoes are passé, this place will change your mind. The spuds are big, plump, and fluffy, with crispy skin. There are lots of toppings to choose from and my fave is the (magical) artichoke mix. Shoutout to the friendliest host in town. Always a pleasure to stop in. Bonus is the scenic location just across from the State House. read more

Most delicious potato you'll ever eat. Hands down. Onion crumbles, garlic butter, sweet mango slice. You won't regret it. And great service too! read more

I didn't catch any names here of the owners. But I did want to say Thank You! Thank for for the delicious sweet potato cake and the loaded baked potato. Both were amazing. However, I am most thankful for the hospitality/the service. Thank you for being so genuinely welcoming and accepting. That meant the world to me and I will be back to support your business as much as possible. May God continue to bless you and your business. Chantal Ross read more

Potato Valley Cafe was a pleasant find in Annapolis. This cafe offers a variety of baked potatoes, dressed in different ways: Spinach, Feta & Roasted Garlic Mix, Jamaican Hot Sauce and Cheddar, Texas Salsa with Cheddar, Chicken Curry Mix, Cuban Chicken etc. If you're not in a baked potato mood, they also have sandwiches and salads. The hubs and I shared a Bacon and Cheddar baked potato, adding the garlic butter, which was also served with a side of greens and roasted onions. The baked potato was perfectly cooked, where the potato was fluffy; there was a super generous amount of bacon, shredded cheddar cheese, and a nice pat of the garlic butter. The salad was amazing, as it was lightly dressed with a fresh vinaigrette. It was topped with banana peppers and chock full of fresh veggies - yum! I love that all the ingredients were plentiful! Service was very welcoming and friendly! Please mind that this is a cafe, so there are a handful of bistro-style tables, and larger parties may find it a bit tight. This is definitely a delicious gem if you're in the Annapolis area! Limited residential parking in the area. +tasty baked potatoes! +variety of toppings +generous portions +friendly service +handful of seating +limited residential parking read more

The food is pretty good, but expensive for what it is. It's usually busy, as it's one of the cheaper (but not cheap) places to eat by Main Street and the State House. The customer service is...not great. Usually, the staff is abrasive and seems to be annoyed that you're even there. If you can get past that and they give you a hard time when you ask for something to be removed from your potato, it's a decent eat. read more

So a friend suggested checking this place out. So it's basically a baked potato with various toppings. They had good choices in the vegetarian section and I chose Rustic Vegan. It' was flavorful and I did enjoy it. It was suggested that I eat the skin also, which I declined. But later realized maybe I should have, because couple of hours later I got hungry again. read more

I have been dying to try this place for a couple years now and it did not disappoint! Customer Service- the guy who was the cashier was extremely nice and super helpful. I was deciding on what to get and he seemed super eager to give me suggestions. Beef Chili & Cheddar Baked Potato- this thing is LOADED. So it has the baked potato, then the cheddar on top (that's melted very nicely), then the chili on top of that (like a heaping amount), and the chips, jalapeños, and greens on top. I've never had a baked potato like this and it blew my mind. Definitely coming back to try the different baked potatoes! read more

They had me at potatoes! Cute cafe in Annapolis, easy to miss and worth every bite! My best friend who is Vegan, and I were looking for a spot both of us could find something to eat. Potato Valley Cafe was perfect. Almost any type of topping on baked potatoes, they have it. Potatoes are huge, toppings are plentiful. I had the Texas, cheddar cheese, salsa, lettuce, sour cream, jalapeno, peppers with a side of corn chips. So yummy! My friend had the Rustic, which they have a few Vegan options on the menu. She loved hers as well. We had some laughs with the owner, who is full of personality. She gave us some background on the cafe. They've been in the same spot for 25 years! Amazing in this industry! read more

Potato Valley Cafe - Rustic and Texas potatoes - Cafes Near Me - Annapolis, Maryland

My favorite lunch spot in downtown Annapolis! Food is always very fresh, delicious, potatoes are the best you'll get. Also the sandwiches and salads are very fresh. Best sub roll I ever had anywhere. Nice choice of sandwiches. Affordable daily lunch spot downtown. Plus owners are on site and take a lot of pride in getting your order out quickly and correctly. Plus the cafe is very clean with lovely tables and chairs to make a nice atmosphere. It's my go-to for downtown lunches. read more

After we were turned away from Harry Browne's because there was only one waitress and she couldn't handle additional guests, we saw this place and were delighted by the woman at the counter who was so warm and friendly and a pure delight. The food was delicious and came out FAST! We were surprised at how quickly 5 orders (sandwiches, salad, and loaded potatoes) all came out boom boom boom .... but the woman at the counter said it best, "we've been doing this for 28 years, we have it down." I loved seeing her chit chat with customers and making them each feel welcomed. Definitely loved the service and the food and wouldn't have even thought to try it until we stopped in front of the cafe wondering where to go eat at 2pm on President's Day. Definitely recommend! read more

This is thus far one of the BEST spuds place I've ever had!!! Barbara the owner can be somewhat testy (along with the young guy that works there). However the food makes up for the nice/nasty personality! The potatoes are FANTASTIC and that's putting it mildly! This was my once a week go to spot when I worked in the area! Try it out... I promise you, you will not be disappointed! 10/10!!!! read more

An interesting and unique lunch option right across from the Maryland statehouse. Their thing is potatoes, though my experience would suggest that it's tough to even find the potato under all the toppings. Thus, if you wonder whether you're getting enough for the money I'd say it's not bad. They have plenty of diverse and vegetarian options for how to top one's potato, and I went for one with corn, beans, and avocado. I'm not ready to say it reinvented potatoes for me, but it was interesting and filling enough that I had ample leftovers. Strictly a lunch place by hours, and it's also nice and quick in my experience as lunch needs to be. read more

Potato Valley Cafe - South of the border special - Cafes Near Me - Annapolis, Maryland

All around awesome experience. When my husband first suggested a baked potaTo for lunch I was not very excited but the wonderful staff suggested the "south of valley" potato for me and it blew my mind! Loved all the bright flavors and the potato had an amazing crispy skin (they use Idaho russet potatoes and roast them without any oil! Almost couldn't believe it given how yummy and great the texture was). They were able to veganize a bunch of options for us, subbing butter with oil, and also have a "rustic vegan" potato which my hubby got that was also delicious. Can't wait to come back. Very sweet staff and amazing food! read more

Potato Valley Cafe - South of The Valley baked potato - Cafes Near Me - Annapolis, Maryland

Before I get to the food, I'd like to say the service received here was above and beyond! This was our first time visiting, but we knew what we wanted before we arrived because there are many options and my indecisiveness in the moment would have held the line up! Anyway, after giving my order for the "south of the valley" potato the extremely nice lady asked if I ever had it before and offered a sample of basically the best of both worlds of my dish, the "vegetarian combo" potato. Oh my...the flavor bombs ignited and my tastebuds sang out as I'm sure I made humming sounds with every delightful chew. The corn, beans, artichoke mix, garlic butter...all of it...just yum!! Needless to say, I stuck with her recommendation, happily took my seat (probably danced in my seat a little) and awaited my loaded potato of joy. My partner got the Chicken Bacon and Cheese potato and was just as wowed by the flavors and deliciousness! Once our meal ended, we hopped on yelp to find a dessert place to help us finish it off. But during our search (yes, here comes more greatness) the lady slid us a piece of cake. Our eyes widened with gratitude as we humbly thanked her before digging into one of THE best pieces of sweet potato cake we've ever encountered. It was just the right size to feed the two of us and super moist. This little cafe (that's an hour away from us) will be revisited soon because outside of good food, we love excellent customer service! read more

Been going to this place for over a decade and it never disappoints! It's truly is a hidden gem for sure! Locals love it!

Excellent every time. Everything is fresh full of flavor and the portions are more than generous.

During a trip to Annapolis to testify before legislative committees (on a free speech issue that Yelp itself was supporting, so a Yelp policy person was there too!), we were brought here by an Annapolis-based lobbyist who commented this that this is one of the classic local joints. The menu consists entirely of a variety of loaded potatoes, all under $10. If there is a drinks menu I did not see it. You order at the counter, then pick up your food and sit at one of a small number of potatoes. The order taker is gruff, but not quite the soup Nazi. I had the Caribbean chicken potato, which was fine. You can get tap water or either sweet or nonsweet team, served at room temperature, from a jug with a faucet -- I had the nonsweet. Not memorable by any means but just fine read more

Yum yum yum yum!!! Bacon cheddar with banana rings and papaya and cucumbers. The potoates are perfect size, cooked just right and the perfect amount of butter! They put fried onion straws on the potatoes what an ingenious idea! This is the best idea for a restaurant created since the inventor of hangers!!! I wish I would have thought of it! I love this place! The owners always at the register to greet you by name no offers you refills on drinks, a free cookie sometimes and always has positive energy! read more

Potato Valley Cafe - About them - Cafes Near Me - Annapolis, Maryland

I have to say this place is one of my all time favorites! I have been coming here since 2001. Most places change over time and it's not always for the best but Potato Valley has only gotten better with time. Like a great fine wine. Of course their main dish is the potato which they bake to perfection and then let you choose form some awesome choices. My personal fave it the Vegetarian Combo Which is a mix of south of the Valley and the Artichoke potato. They also have a vegan options. The brownies are delicious as always crispy sides and a chewy middle. Make sure you stop in for lunch! It's worth it! read more

Potato Valley Cafe - Cafes Near Me - Annapolis, Maryland

It's okay, the potatoes taste fine. I got the southwest potato, the toppings were good. The potato is super crispy on the bottom and the skin is tough, so difficult to eat those parts. The cafe itself is pretty cute as well. The main issue I had was that we went at lunch time, but we were the first people in and there were maybe two people coming up to be in line, so they were not busy at all. Still, we were immediately being yelled at by the lady at the register to hurry up and to order already, despite the fact that we were just trying to look at the menu. As soon as we stepped into the cafe, she yelled at us to come up and order, but when we tried to check the menu, she would yell at us for not knowing what we want already. She kept rushing us and even tried to get the people behind us to step up and order WHILE we were ordering, but they also needed a moment to check the menu so they did not. She barely gave us time to order the things we actually did want before cashing us out and snatching our card from us. The potatoes take maybe 30 seconds for them to put the toppings on, so I am extremely confused as to why she was the rudest cashier I've ever dealt with when they just had zero rush going on. I won't go back just because of the service, the potatoes definitely aren't good enough to make up for that experience. read more

We decided to stop in for lunch and this is my observations. * I had a marinated chicken breast sandwich , the roll was very good, as was the havarti cheese, but they should specify that the chicken is cold , I was expecting a hot sandwich. Also, for the money , the sandwich should have more chicken. * My mother and my wife both had potato's ..said they were good but nothing special. Potatoes we're on the small side and again the chicken was cold as well. Not crispy as people have stated in their reviews. * The person working the counter might have been having a bad day because he wasn't very friendly or especially helpful. We won't be returning . read more
