    Peeps latte.
    Allen S.

    Met up with family our last morning in Baltimore. Was highly recommended by my sister-in-law. Street paking near the stadium district. Very friendly and welcoming staff. While waiting for the 2nd half of our party, wife had a peeps latte and I had a cinnamon based ice coffee. Check on several times while waiting. Breakfast was fantastic. Risotto Benedict, breakfast burrito, scrambled and they shared a half stack cinnamon roll pancakes. All were fantastic. Also recommend a White lighting if you need a caffeine pick me up. Wasn't busy but looks like seating may get tight. Groups of 6 or more should arrive early. We'll laid out restaurant.

    My go to breakfast place in the neighborhood. I've had a few hit or miss experiences with whether or not seating is available but the servers are kind and the food is super good!

    Spoons is a classic breakfast spot in South Baltimore and it never disappoints. The staff is friendly and the ambiance is like a typical coffee shop/cafe. The cinnamon roll pancakes are my absolute favorite thing on the menu and I have to get them every time I go now. I enjoyed washing it down with a warm spiced cider.

    This place is a great spot for brunch/breakfast! Their biscuits are very delicious. The Rock Bison sandwich is great, I'd like it even more if the jalapeños were more prominent, but that's alright because there's hot sauce on the tables you can use. The hangtown fry was delicious however the sauce on top really overpowered everything else in the dish. Maybe less of it, or put it on the side could help? I'm only taking a star away from the experience because they serve water in plastic cups. I think that's just terrible. Reusable items save the planet, and it's an easy switch! Would really like to see them upgrade. I probably wouldn't return just because of the needless waste.

    like everything in Baltimore, I felt like this was a very small and intimate atmosphere, but felt very homey and all the service was great. I went in for breakfast at the bar, had a mimosa and eggs Benedict and read. I will say because of the space they do have a 90 minute time for people when sitting in and dining but totally understandable.

    We wanted brunch at a new spot, so we decided to check out Spoons, it had been on my list. Its a small space, so we had to be placed on a waitlist, which was not a problem. The restaurant had soft lighting, you hear conversations. We both ordred the 2-2-2, I got the french toast and he got the pancakes. The customer service was ok, it could have been better. Our waitress didn't introduce herself to us, which is something that I am used to at all the places I have been to. The food was also ok, nothing really stood out. We may go and try other items on the menu.

    This is a very cute spot with a relaxed feel. My friends and I arrived around 12:30pm and stayed close to closing which was 2:00pm. The hostess was nice and so was our waiter. I ordered the greasy spoon with all bacon. The potatoes was seasoned very well and I got my eggs scrambled with cheese. My whole meal was very enjoyable. The bacon was crispy and of course I had to add my own salt and pepper to the eggs but I would definitely come here again. My friends also enjoyed their meal. They ordered the 2-2-2 with French toast. I believe one got the sweet cream French toast and she really liked it. They both enjoyed their meals as well. I would highly recommend spoons for a cute breakfast/brunch spot.

    Our party of three dropped in for Sunday Brunch. This popular spot had a waiting list. It was a 40 minutes wait, not too bad. We ordered ham Benedict with potatoes, fried chicken & pimento cheese biscuit, Cinnamon roll pancakes,and everything biscuit with bacon, fried chicken, fried egg, and sausage gravy. Foods came out fast. Everything were cooked to perfection. Everything tasted delicious. But the stand out dish was the cinnamon roll pancake with maple coffee glaze. Tablet service was friendly and attentive. Prices were fair for such high quality foods. Parking on the street only. We will definitely return with our next trip to Baltimore.

    Best Fried Oysters on Grits with mushroom bacon flavors. Yum!
    Matt L.

    Fantastic brunch. Came on Sunday to celebrate our 25 yr old. Apple Cider Mimosa in a carafe, yum for a Fall day. Pistachio white chocolate latte, so creamy and luscious. And OMG Fried Oysters on grits with a mushroom/bacon sauce something. They were fried to perfection and everything was so great. We sat upstairs where there was lots of space and admired the amazing art work on the walls. Our server was very helpful and help us with some recommendations. Will be back.

    Spoons is cute, quaint, delicious and the staff are friendly and quick. It's got all the best breakfast staples like 2 eggs, 2 slices of whatever breakfast meat you want and 2 pancakes to omelettes and sandwiches and Benedicts. We got a few items to try and the bacon was crispy, and the pancakes are fluffy, and my veggie Benedict was very standard and very good. I liked how the fruit was cut up nice and small and came with a variety. The best item is the biscuit which came out warm and fluffy and tasted so yummy with the butter packets. My orange juice tasted freshly squeezed and overall it was an excellent breakfast!

    Biscuit Breakfast Sandwich

    Average food, bad service. Came on a Sunday morning for brunch. There was a 30 min wait, which is no problem. Once we arrived and were seated, it took a very long time for a waitress to greet us. Turns out that same waitress was bussing the table next to us while we sat... waiting for a water or a coffee. Seems the bussing of an empty table could've waited 2 minutes to serve the table that was present... Coffee is bottomless but the waitress never came around to refill it, I had to ask. I ordered a biscuit sandwich and my friend got a Benedict, which comes with a side. Somehow the waitress got confused and brought us an extra side, as a mistake, so she took it back but she then forgot to take off the bill... My biscuit was cold - see pic for unmelted cheese... I would've asked for a new one but again, the waitress never came back to ask how it was. Despite being cold, it was tasty. They were also out of chia pudding, fine but just icing on the cake for an already pretty bad experience. Overall, for the wait time, this just wasn't worth it. Seemingly untrained staff and cold food, not sure what I'd return for.

    I haven't been to Spoons in a couple of years and I ventured out for brunch on this past Sunday. This time I did the Hangtown dish (fried oysters over soft cheese/bacon eggs with a side of grits) and Cinnamon Pancakes. I ordered the mushroom bacon gravy to pour over the eggs and grits. They cinnamon roll pancakes are always a hit! They really do know how to prepare frier oysters, lord they never miss! Good for a brunch date! The service was fast and attentive! I love the staff they were amazing. This was a whole vibe!

    We have a portable not a permanent wheelchair ramp to get inside the building. There are no steps inside.

Since it was New Year's eve, there were few patrons or maybe this is the usual scene? Don't know. But there are some comfy couches by the front in which a young couple with a baby was nursing. Another couple was just finishing up dinner and started to head out. We were the only two diners for about 20 minutes before another couple came in for dinner. There were also about two or three people at the bar. So basically a very quiet place. No one at the hostess stand, only a woman at the bar. She eventually sat us and took our order. Things were slow but not so slow that I would complain. I would surmise that most of the staff was off that evening. Food was also slow in coming so there might have been a small crew in the kitchen as well. We ordered the mezze appetizer. Nothing to rave about. It was just a plate with vegetables and hummus. We both got the wagyu burger and fries. The whole meal was quite decent. The meat was cooked to the correct temperature and the fries were crispy. It was quite filling for me.

I tried everything but the bloody marys, and while they were good, whew there was a lot of ice in the mimosa... I'm not used to ice there, so it threw me off but it was still good! The REAL highlight was the food... the item I got changed my life: Crab. Cake. Eggrolls. They came with this amazing sweet chili sauce and were so filling and delicious! I also got chicken & waffle sliders to go that had a nice kick and the waffle texture was great! My cousin enjoyed his food as well. Also, shout out to the bagel wall that's on the way to the bathroom. It had great options and all the fixings! If I wasn't full I would've gotten one myself. I will return here for brunch.

I ordered the duck breast upon our server's recommendation and was happy with that choice, along with the creamy deviled crab. Others at my table seemed to enjoy their steak frites and the market fish special (walleye). The "artisanal" breads & spreads platter arrived on a lovely tea tray, but was far from luxe, I'm afraid, consisting of butter, yellow mustard, commercial-grade olive tapenade, thin jam, and an uninspired selection of dry breads. The Duchess of Bedford would roll over in her grave. Service was kind but rather slow, but if you're here to enjoy the view, you might appreciate the unharriedness. But this really is a gorgeous location for a meal or sunset cocktails. Topside's proximity to Meyerhoff Symphony Hall (home of the Baltimore Symphony Orchestra) and the Lyric - both about a half mile away - also makes this an attractive pre-concert/theater spot to grab a bite or cocktail. Furthermore, it is located right by the Walters Art Museum and the George Peabody Library of the Peabody Institute, both worth visiting if you're killing time in the area.
