The pastry was good, just like other pastries. I had a cold ice tea but I thought I was getting a mix of coffee/tea by the way the menu was set up. Or it was just me and since it was my first time, I panicked. Haha. I enjoyed the atmosphere upstairs. While it was slightly packed when we got there, we chose to sit downstairs. It would be super cute if the upstairs decor transitioned to the lower level as well. Overall, I will try again but give myself time to pick something. read more

I got an espresso (house blend) and a pour over (light roast, Colombia) The espresso was mostly bitter, with mild acidity. 2/5 Creamier texture or a light sweetness would have helped. The pour over was smooth with coco bitterness and mild citrus acidity. 3/5 Would try a different pour over if I was in the area. read more

Still one of my favorite local coffee shops. Service was great during my recent visit. I got one of my favorite drinks, a Spanish latte and it was really good. If you've never been here, this is a cute spot for a coffee date, working, or reading a good book. There's street parking along Main Street. read more

This place was packed on a Saturday and rightfully so! I saw many people sitting down with their loved ones to share a coffee. Vibes were good but a tad on the louder side. Spanish latte 10/10: rich. Definitely energized me! Not on the sweet side. Even my boyfriend jumped for it when I said he could finish it. read more

This is really a 3.5. I needed a spot to hang out for two-ish hours in Laurel, and I popped in here for some coffee and a snack if I needed one. The decor is inviting and charming, and this place is owned by a church but it's not too in your face about it. The service was friendly and my orders came out pretty quickly both times. The coffee was pretty average, though. It's La Colombe, which is a macro roaster owned by Chobani based out of Philedelphia (you will also notice the Chobani yogurt sold in a cooler). My cortado was good, but there were some grounds hanging out in the bottom and there was nothing special about it. They were out of bagels, so I ordered a croissant, which looked great but they asked if I wanted it heated and I should have said no because that is code for "microwaved", which rendered it very soft, and the interior of it was fairly cavernous too. Do not get it heated. The drip coffee was, again, solid but nothing special. I'm probably being a little more critical just because of how highly rated this place is; like I said, this is more of a 3.5 to me. read more

I wish I lived in the state because I would have this coffee five times a day. It's in such a little town. It's super cute. The town is definitely walkable. I would recommend grabbing a coffee and walking around a bit to explore. But maybe you should grab two coffees because their coffees are so great! They don't have too many flavor options I think it's because they know how phenomenal their coffee beans are. They do latte art here which is super fun as well. But their coffee is so smooth. It's just the perfect warm bottle of joy. read more

I was really excited to try this spot after seeing all the great reviews, but I actually ended up disappointed with my drink. I ordered an iced chai tea with oatmilk. I wanted to add vanilla, but was informed that they don't use any syrups, but had simple syrup available off to the side once my drink was ready. No problem. It took just a few minutes for my order to be ready, although the cafe was busy. I was expecting a rich, flavorful and creamy drink due to the oatmilk and received a dull, watery beverage. The cafe is cute, and the seating area was packed with folks socializing or working on laptops. It seems like there's also an event space, as I saw engagement party balloons leading to a space downstairs. read more

Lived in the area for such a long time but never been here until today. I think this place is pretty great! I got the hot matcha latte and it was delicious and definitely satisfied my craving. It was plenty sweet and the matcha flavor was there. I personally love the flavor of matcha and could've had more of that earthy flavor, but it was decent. My friend got the iced matcha latte and it was definitely watered down. It felt like they took the hot latte and added a bunch of milk or water so it was a lot more bland than mine. I also got an almond croissant to take home with me. It was, meh. The croissant itself was very hollow in the middle which was disappointing. It didn't have that classsical pointed crescent shape. The almond filling was also decent. The space itself was cute and cozy. A good amount of seats but you might find it difficult to find a seat if you come later in the morning. All the baristas were friendly and my order came out quickly. read more

So we are trying different coffee shops around the Columbia/DC area and made our way into Ragamuffins. This place was great, friendly people, and good drinks. The owner/manager was polite and we had a great conversation about the mission of the shop. There are several areas for you to sit and chat with friends. The shop wasn't too noisy, was bright and clean. There was a mix of high top seating and couches. Parking was easy on the street. I had a Latte which was good and some friends had a Cortado, which they come to this shop for. Take away, good vibe, good drinks, nice place. Worth giving a shot. read more

I need to hang out on Main Street more often. I'm not a coffee drinker, but they love lovely teas and pastries. I went around lunch time, so I shouldn't have been surprised by how busy it was. I was extra surprised to learn about a basement, where no one was. It is literally the perfect place to hang out and work at. And free parking along the street? C'mon. I ordered the blueberry hibiscus tea, which was ready almost immediately and came in the most lovely tea cup and saucer. And I was shocked to see a kouign-amann in their display case. Yes I got it... and they warmed it up for me :). It was soooo tasty while I chatted with the person I was meeting. This is a lovely coffee house and they have a heartwarming mission. Pay them a visit! read more

Ragamuffins, where have you been in my life?! Ragamuffins is a cute, cozy coffee shop filled with nothing but good cups of Joe's (they also offer tea) that will get your day started right! I ordered the Cafe Miel, which consists of espresso, milk, honey, and cinnamon powder. Their price point is very reasonable, and I love how they offer a for-here mug. I noticed their ceramic mugs are handmade by a local artist. Customer service was efficient, and I had my coffee in no time. What also stood out for me was the water station provided by the handout station. They also offer sparkling water, which is fantastic. As for parking, there is street parking, and from my experience, I didn't have any issue finding a spot. I will be back here to get my coffee fix! read more

Stopped in before the haunted house and loved this little place. Tried something different by having an affogato with dulles de Leche ice cream. The flavors mixed wonderfully and when mixed together became perfection. There was live music being played when I arrived but it wasn't loud. It was low and I was still able to have a conversation. Service was great and fast. Prices were what they should've been. $4 for an affogato makes me wish I lived closer. I'll definitely stop in any time I'm in the area. read more

Had to split the difference here. I think this is a great coffee shop but the hours of operation are misleading. It says it's open until 5, but in reality the cleanser comes out at 4:15 and the horrible smell makes this place undesirable. I really felt like they wanted us out of there. I guess go early enough to leave 60 minutes before posted close time. Otherwise.... read more

This coffeeshop has such a nice atmosphere! It's very cozy and the noise level isn't overbearing to distract you from working or reading. It can be difficult to find somewhere to sit at times, but luckily, there's additional seating downstairs. The menu isn't extensive as it's a very chill coffeeshop, but the pastries and drinks are pretty good. It's definitely become one of my favorite coffeeshops to work at. I only discovered it last year, and I'm a little upset I've lived so close for years not knowing about this gem! read more

Cortado, Latte, Mocha, Spanish Latte, Affogato, Turmeric Latte, Matcha Latte, Hot Cocoa. I can attest all these beverages are made artfully and tastily at Ragamuffins. Yes, with the cute Portlandesque foam art! The service is quiet, efficient and pleasant. No yelling out wrong names, no cursing. They speak in dulcet tones here. The ambience is giving Borders Coffee shop circa 1997 with a soupçon of Takoma Park uplifting and purposeful. That is the highest compliment. It's one of my favorite coffee places on the planet. They are closed Sundays for spiritual reasons and Mondays. But it's a great homey place the other five days a week. Oh! And if it couldn't get any better, first Tuesdays are $2 lattes, regular only, iced or hot! read more

Ragamuffins has the classic small coffee shop vibe. The atmosphere is very chill and low key and the service is outstanding. They don't have any syrups and crazy flavors. Just really good coffee. Which is not to say that it's dull. You can get a cafe miel, which is a latte sweetened with honey and cinnamon, or a golden latte which is essentially steamed milk with turmeric and other spices. They do have pumpkin spice lattes during fall if that's your thing. They also have amazing pastries. There are the classics like butter croissants and standard muffins but they also have neat ones like Kouign Amann which is a flaky and caramelized buttery pastry and cro'gels which are a mix of croissants and bagels. Lastly they also have complimentary chilled flat and sparkling water on tap which is awesome after a brisk walk. read more

Feels strange to be in the minority opinion wise here, but my experience wasn't great. The shop itself is very Kirkland Home, Live Laugh Love...if that's your vibe, you'll fit right in. From the girl without a smile at the register, to the No Loitering sign with pride of place, welcoming was the opposite of the feeling given. I saw patrons of diverse shapes and sizes, which was nice. My partner said the bathroom was well maintained. The place is run by a church.

Black artists' drawings and paintings, some of which are for sale, adorn the walls, including "Wakanda Forever," featuring Chadwick Boseman, whom the world heartbreakingly lost too soon to cancer; "Say Their Names: Black Lives Matter," featuring Sandra Bland; whom her communities bitterly lost to police brutality; and, in a hope-filled change of pace, "Looking Up at Greatness," depicting two-year-old Parker Curry's recognition and wonder at seeing Amy Sherald's portrait of Michelle Obama at the National Portrait Gallery in March of 2018. So far, my wife has enjoyed a life-sized latte with extra hot cardamom oat milk; a life-sized cafe au Lait with the same; an açaí bowl, minus the honey and adding kiwi, pineapple, and mango; and a life-sized Hollaback Girl latte. Meanwhile, I was thrilled to devour a banana, cinnamon, and vanilla frappe appropriately dubbed "Monkey Business."

A great space to work, eat, and talk!!!

The decor was very nice, quaint, and beautifully Afrocentric, which I loved. I started with the waffle, turkey bacon, and eggs; . I also tried the crepe version of the bacon, egg, and cheese, which was really good. For something sweet, I went with the s'mores crepe and it did not disappoint. The hot chocolate was also a hit--very rich and comforting. What made the experience even better is that this is a small, newly opened woman & black-owned business, only about 4 months in, and they're already doing things right. Overall, a solid brunch spot with great vibes, good food, and excellent service. Definitely worth checking out and supporting.

There was also a beautiful mural. In terms of food, I was really excited to try both the sweet and savory crepes. There was one couple ahead of us who walked in at the same time as us, so while their order was being made, we perused the menu. There was only one employee at the shop making the crepes so their order took awhile (they waited at least 15 minutes for two crepes). We finally got to put our order in and the employee said it'll be 15 mins for what we ordered (chicken & shrooms crepe, shrimply the best crepe, and s'mores crepe). Each crepe is moderately priced but I was pleasantly surprised at how big the crepes were. However, while we were waiting for ours to be made, the couple who got their order ahead of ours came back saying there was a foreign object in their crepe and they wanted a refund because they had no time to wait for a new one to be made. The employee seemed to not be sure how to refund the order and had to make a call which made our wait even longer. It also made me a little nervous for what I'd find in my crepe - but our crepes seemed okay. The employee also forgot to make our s'mores crepe so there was more of a wait for that, but we dined in so it wasn't a huge deal. The service overall could be improved with better staff training and just more staff in general to handle orders even on what they might think is a slow day. We eventually got our crepes and the shrimp crepe was delicious and had a little spicy kick to it which i loved. It also had a little salad in there so half the crepe was cold which I didn't love but could deal with. The chicken & mushroom crepe was also fantastic and had even more flavor and a kick to it. The s'mores crepe was also a perfect sweet finisher to the meal. All things considered, I'd come back once in a blue moon, but once they add more staff and have a more efficient process, I'd come back more often for those delicious crepes.

Boxed Duncan Hines cakes are better than this; truly a disappointing experience. I was so excited to try them because they looked incredibly delicious and well presented in the bakery!

This spot has so many wonderful food stands. Upon walking in, you can pick up a cart to explore all of the stands. My kids love this place as much as me since you can find so much variety. Our first stop is the very busy Amish soft pretzel stand. My kids love the standard soft pretzel dipped in melted butter and topped with rock salt. My personal favorite are the stuffed soft pretzels like the pretzels stuffed with roast beef and cooper sharp cheddar. Nothing tastes better! There are also many other stands that offer fresh produce, meats, cheeses and baked goods. I particularly like Bieler's Donuts, the same place you'll find packed lines in Philadelphia right here. It's such a fun place and my kids love it. But most importantly, this is dad's spot!

Using his wits, his ingenuity, and unparalleled levels of skill and perseverance, Aatami Korpi, who earns the moniker of "the man who cannot die," escapes not just bombs and machine gun fire but a plane deployed as a missile. And yet, the most moving moment of the film is not found in one of its many arresting action sequences but in a single line of dialogue, spoken by one of six Finnish men, who, along with one teenager and one boy, carrying hatchets, axes, and tools, interrupts the battle-finished Korpi's work on his new home to ask in Finnish, subtitled in English, "We thought you might need some help?" Speechless and shaking with relief and joy, Korpi watches the strangers get to work on his roof, walls, and foundation. That level of kindness, assistance, delight, joy, skill, and service can be seen in every vendor at the Dutch Country Market Thursdays through Saturdays at 9701 Fort Meade Rd in Laurel, MD. Whether it is homemade pretzels, pasta salads, chili, produce, meats, cheeses, popcorn, donuts, or varieties of dark chocolate, candy, or fudge you seek, you will find plenty to whet your appetite. Mind you, most, if not all, of everything contains zero preservatives. Our advice is to buy what you can enjoy soon or share your purchases with company before it's too late.

I opened up my Yelp app to see if I had bookmarked anything nearby and T&J's Waffles was the first spot that popped up. I didn't know it was walk up location. I was all prepared to sit at a table and have breakfast, but I was already there and I wasn't leaving without food. My dad and I both ordered the classic breakfast platter. It came with two waffles, probably three eggs (we added cheese so that was extra), 4 slices of bacon, and 2 sausage links, and hash brown. The waffles were such a cute shape and they were delicious. I can't confirm this, but I imagine it's their own special batter. They were very generous with the scrambled eggs and I didn't even have to add salt & pepper. I like that there were two meat options. I just wish my bacon wasn't all stuck together to form one piece. Also, the bacon could've been cooked a little more. It was a little fatty and I like a little more crisp. The star of the show was the hash brown. It definitely seemed like it was homemade. This may have been my first time having a homemade hash brown. I'm not sure what they did to it, but here's my guess. It looks shredded potatoes, mixed with green onion, and maybe some cheese, that was packed like a patty & shallow fried. My goodness, I should've ordered some hashbrowns to go so I could eat them for the rest of the week. The platter was so good, I didn't even mind having to eat it in my car. Lol. It was filling & $16 well spent.
