I got milk chocolate sweetness, mild acidity, some citrus/fruit notes, and a little spice as well. The flavor got more complex as I worked through the cup. Balanced shot overall with good texture and distinct tasting notes. 5 / 5. The pour over was also solid. Full bodied, fruity and floral notes. 4/5.

Onedo is probably one of my favorite coffee shops in the neighborhood. I love that they offer a…read morevariety of unique coffee drinks to try, and my favorite is definitely the Dalgona coffee. During the winter, their seasonal drinks are some of the best around. Their pastry selection is fairly consistent, with croissants available daily, and they're always delicious. Every now and then they'll offer specialty desserts, which are my favorite. I've tried the sesame marshmallow cookie and the Japanese cheesecake, and both were absolutely delicious. I do wish they had a larger breakfast and lunch menu, but I don't believe they have a full kitchen. This place can get very busy, especially on weekends, and since they only have one espresso machine, the wait for drinks can sometimes be a bit longer. The only areas that could use some improvement are the staff and the cleanliness. Most of the employees are friendly, but there are a couple of seasonal workers who don't seem very welcoming. The shop can also be a little dirty at times and could benefit from more frequent cleaning. Overall, I love this coffee shop. It's small with limited seating, but if you're lucky enough to grab a table, it's the perfect spot to relax with a great cup of coffee and a delicious pastry.

wow, this coffee shop is absolutely unbelievably amazing. I can't recommend it enough! While, I…read morehave yet to have any of their food selections, the coffee is easily the best I've had in the entire DMV. It's a nice coffee shop with tables that you could easily bring your computer to and the people are extremely kind. So it's a great environment for individual work or small meetings. As someone born and raised in Seattle, we take our coffee very seriously. Despite the fact, Starbucks was started there, we all despise it and prefer the smaller coffee shops. I say this to emphasize that I take my coffee and the quality and flavors very seriously. This place is well worth your time, even if it means going out of your way!!!

I have had a love and dislike relationship with Ceremony Coffee Roasters, but I feel like I finally…read moreknow where it stands for me. They offer some really creative drinks, and sometimes the flavors are a little too bold for my taste, especially when they mix things like juice into an espresso latte. But their holiday seasonal drinks get me every single time. We have tried the "Over the River and Through the Woods," the hot chocolate, the cinnamon crunch latte, and the mistletoe toasted marshmallow, and I have enjoyed all of them! I also appreciate that their hours are longer, which makes it a great spot to get work done. I will say the seating is not the most comfortable if you are in the booth with the wooden seats, but it still works when you need a change of scenery. The food has been hit or miss for me, but recently it has been more of a hit. I am still wanting to try something from their pastry bin because everything in there looks phenomenal! Looking especially at the sweet potato pastry! Overall, I think this place works well if you know what you are coming in for. The drinks are good, the atmosphere is solid, and the location right by the water makes it even better.

As for parking, it's fells so the limited free spots are limited, but not impossible. Otherwise walking here is great too.

There's tons of seating, and even a little back room with some couches and a coffee table. The green walls with wooden accents around the space give a natural effect, and I think is conducive to focusing on work. I've got to echo other folks' reviews - the dirty chai is FANTASTIC. As was the hot coco, totally recommend. As for food, honestly not too shabby. The avocado toast had solid flavor with the red onions, but maybe not my favorite avocado spread. The breakfast sandwich was also good but I think the bagels toasted a tad too long. Between the drinks, the food and the vibes, I would say it's a solid place to grab breakfast and hang for a while!

Matriarch Coffee lived up to every bit of the hype -- and then some…read more I'd been hearing about Matriarch Coffee for a while from friends near me in the DMV, and I finally made the drive up to Baltimore to see what all the hype was about. Short answer: absolutely worth it!Long answer: I'm already thinking about my next excuse to come back. Walking in, the space immediately delivers. The aesthetic is awesome-- the kind of intentional, beautifully designed interior that feels warm and curated rather than staged. It's trendy without being cold, and the Inner Harbor location makes it that much more special. I know there is a huge renovation planned "down the harbor" , this Matriarch is ALREADY READY! You get all the energy of the waterfront with a cozy, tucked-in feel once you're inside. Now, the coffee. I got a latte that was genuinely one of the better cups I've had in a long time -- smooth, rich, perfectly pulled. I also had a Chai and paired it with a cherry & cheese danish that was fresh and delicious, the ideal complement to the drink. I asked for it heated and it was hot all the way through. Hate it when I get it and it is cold in the middle...the barista understood the assignment and got us right! Everything felt thoughtful, like someone in that kitchen actually cares about what they're putting out -- because they do. Speaking of which -- I had the pleasure of meeting the owner, and it all made sense. Warm, passionate, and clearly proud of what they've built. Shirts, cups, napkins, and merch that says "I love my Matriarch" is a reminder of the "Why" behind this spot I think. That kind of energy flows through the entire space and staff. You feel it the moment you walk in. The Matriarch isn't just a coffee shop. It's a destination. If you're in Baltimore, this is a must. If you're outside the city -- make the drive. Trust me. See you soon, Matriarch!

We had the matcha latte, and a menu special: solar eclipse which was chai with expresso macadamia nut milk and lavender syrup. Matcha was good flavor and quality. The drink special I pass, I gave it a fair try but it didn't taste good- there was a very acidic taste at the end. My first time in was after calling to see if they had gift cards, went without an answer . So I went there and nope. Waisted my time going there.
