A hot steamy afternoon that quickly tires me out…read more Makes for a moment of cool relaxation at my favorite local spot that perhaps is the favorite local spot FOR MANY. I nabbed the last lemon honey scone warmed and a 12oz iced horchata chai w/oatmilk and light ice. Today was SUPER QUIET inside which felt like the best whine down in a home like setting. The daily baked goods, drinks and friendly staff makes life better once you get here. Stop by like I did and be in quiet heaven.

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 loveeeeee Fresh Bakery! I have been able to go in and place orders, also via email. I get my…read morehusband's birthday cakes from here.

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.

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.

Stopped in to grab a quick breakfast. The staff was friendly and I was greeted immediately with…read morerecommendations. They had the daily specials written on a chalk board. 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.

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!

Can we just take a moment to talk about the pastries here? Tried a date and walnut scone and a…read morehazelnut croissant, omg. I think that was the best scone I've ever had in my life. Definitely go on a weekday if you can because the lines get really long on weekends and the pastries are first come first serve. The iced latte was great too but definitely try the baked goods when you are there. No pics because I ate everything too fast.

every time we've tried to come, the long line puts us off (you gotta be all business with a toddler…read moreand twin babies in tow). today we were able to make it there by 805am and there were still 12 people in front of us. we decided to wait it out and im glad we did. the user experience here isn't really the best, but that doesnt seem to matter. theres no where to sit, you cant see the pastry options (which are extensive) until you get to the window to place your order, and parking is tough. that being said, I was blown away by the pastries I chose in a whirlwind - prosciutto and gruyere croissant, oreo donut (omfg best donut I've ever had), and I ordered the Nutella croissant but that's not what I got. I got maybe an almond and something else that was almost cake like inside? it was incredible. coffee was fine. we each got a seasonal drink. the iced strawberry a vanilla latte was flavorless, so either the syrup was missing or it was so subtle that my sub par taste buds missed it. we also got an iced blueberry maple latte, which was fine. I will be back for that oreo donut!

What a wonderful surprise!…read more I happened to be in the area around lunchtime and saw Terri's on Yelp. Everything about this local spot was amazing. I was welcomed into the restaurant and helped through the menu. Everyone was super friendly. I ordered a buttermilk chicken sandwich. It was fresh and delicious ... a bit too big for me to finish. The fries were perfect. Nothing was fancy, just well prepared and good! I will make an excuse to drive over this way and come again. 100% recommended!

Friendly service, hot coffee, fresh made-to-order food. I had scrambled eggs with sausage and my husband had the breakfast burrito. Food was hot, delicious, and not greasy.

We stopped in with friends and got bubble teas. We also wanted some chicken. The kiosk mistakenly…read moreallowed us to order chicken although there wasn't any available due to the kitchen shutting down 30 min before closing. The owner was so apologetic and kind. He refunded me my money with no issues for the chicken I ordered. Kung Fu Tea is always a dope fun and colorful environment. The space was super clean. There are some chairs to sit while you wait for your items but no real tables to sit and eat/drink. I love the menu selections and the kiosk makes easy to order and customize your drink to your liking. I've been to many Kung Fu tea locations but this one is my favorite!!! The kind staff make a huge difference.

I decides to try this place as I drive by it many times…read more Its in the area of the CCBC / BALTO CO LIBRARY and Owings Mill Subway. I went in and realized they sell more then their name. Its a wide variety of food and Asian boba teas. I was greeted, explained the tea meny and had my order taken. The price is within reason. There are a few seats inside and seemingly cluttered wall of menu type items but organized. I chose a non dairy tea; favored green tea with added boba. Within a decent time my drink was provided. It did not wow me and I would rather travel to get a decent boba tea.
