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 stopped in again today for a breakfast wrap. And again they are out…read more But I was happy to see that they have started with THE PUMPKIN favorites.... It was late morning so a lot of the baked goods were low. I chose after minutes of wanting what I wanted to decide on trying the chocolate berry bread pudding. 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.

Not the best encounter today over the phone. I've tried to be a loyal customer, as it's a black…read moreowned business. Today's batch of juices weren't the best. I was hoping to go back in town to get a different drink. Young lady doesn't seem like she's up for it. Hopefully the owner is in the next time I go back. The juice is 10 bucks & I'd like it to be something I can drink. If not, I'll purchase from the Amish Market.

Alright, let me be straight...we were on the wait list for Eggspectation...eggs, bacon,…read morepancakes!!!! But we're hungry and walking around to see what else was around while waiting and this gem we stumbled upon. At first the prices were a bit like...come on now...but after ordering and eating, I'd say ok to going back. Kids split a protein waffle and a yogurt parfait. I had the avocado toast with a hard boiled egg...shoulda got 2 eggs. Wife got a tomato, mozzarella with prosciutto toast. All were delicious and presentation was first class. Hopefully this spot makes it and we can come back for another meal.

There are a good number of options from juices/smoothies, toasts and acai bowls. The space was very clean and looked perfect for a short meeting or teleworking. I ordered the smoked salmon toast and the cure juice. The toast was quickly made. It was asethically pleasing, but also delicious! The flavor was fresh and so tasty. In addition, the juice was a complimented the meal. I was worried that I would still be hungry, but it actually filled me up. Thanks Toastique, I will be back!

On the next trip, I tried the chocolate chip cookies and those are divine. Finally, the personal size Keylime pie is so rich and flavorful.

While I haven't personally been to Goldberg's in years, I have had their bagels at other people's…read morehouses and was always pleasantly surprised. My bagel now was no different. Fresh, tasteful and full of flavor. It hit the spot. The latte was amazing, and I even opted for sugar free vanilla (an uncommon choice for me) and was very pleased with how much I liked it. The straws were more for a smoothie though. The inside is definitely run down, and I would opt for carry-out but ordering was convenient and easy; both with the ladies working and the kiosk. It is exactly what you would expect out of a bagel shop, in the best way possible.

It's really a shame how poor service and management can ruin a restaurant…read more For many years I have enjoyed First Watch. I have patronized numerous locations. I have been going to their Pikesville location for 4 years. NOT ANYMORE! Let's start with the rude man who is the Host/cashier. He seats folks however he feels like rather than when they came in. Today was the last draw! He sat two women who came in after I did before me. Say what you will but "coincidentally" they were black and so is he! The feckless manager offered no help. This arrogant front man is mishandling his position while the manager retreats to the kitchen. I know several customers who have abandoned the Pikesville location for the Owings Mills facility. I previously wondered why, but not anymore. THE PIKESVILLE FIRST WATCH IS DETERIORATING!

Can you believe ONE pancake is $8.29 as of December 2025? The description says they are humongous…read morebut...let's be real, a singular pancake could NEVER be worth that. It's so sad to witness. First Watch used to be such a yummy, consistent treat but now... Shrinkflation at its finest. All portion sizes have decreased, and the prices have gone up. There was a good amount of avocado on my toast but the bread they now use is a shell of its former version. The cheese grits were enjoyable and the eggs were fresh. I also believe my mother enjoyed her double bacon Parmesan hash but, overall, the price tag is no longer worth it. The service left a lot to be desired as well. Major sigh.
