What a fantastic find! Thanks to the Yelpers who took time to review this place and put it on my…read moreradar. I've now been to Abat three times. This is the sort of place that makes you feel at home from the moment you arrive. And, for someone who's been several times, I now feel like family. If you're looking for an unhurried coffee served on a silver tray, get their Ethiopian coffee service. If you're looking for a good coffee to go, they've got that, too. If you want breakfast, you're in the right place, and you can try more than the usual diner fare or avocado toast. There are a few Ethiopian dishes for lunch, too, with fantastic injera that is flown in daily from Ethiopia. If you want a special Ethiopian dish that's not on the menu, they may be able to make it with some notice. The coffee house has a small shop with Ethiopian coffee, incense, and trinkets from their homeland. It's a special place run by genuinely kind people who care about sharing their love of their homeland through their food and the way they treat customers. Don't miss it.

Ordered a Cappucino with oat milk given fasting season. They had a few milk options. Coffee was strong/bold and tasty. Ordered some food to go-Fasting chechebsa (made with oil vs butter). Loved Abat's take on this classic Ethiopian breakfast dish. Also got some Sambusa-veggie (lentil) and beef. Both were enjoyed also. Saw some house made cakes/pastries for next time. They also have Kitfo and Tibs as well sandwiches and more breakfast items. Service was friendly and upbeat. They have a small market with spices and merchandise. Solid spot for coffee and breakfast!

After my dentist appointment in Dundalk and in need of a little latte, I stumbled upon Joanna's…read moreCafe nearby. A cute little shop that was warm and inviting. The perfect spot for locals to grab a coffee on their way to work or an afternoon lunch spot. Joanna's has a really nice menu with quite a few breakfast and lunch options. As well as a decent drink menu for whatever may suite your fancy at the moment. I settled on a Pistachio and Rose Latte, a Sausage and Cheese breakfast sandwich, and a huge Black Bottom Muffin. The latte was little on the sweet side for me, but the flavor was decent. The breakfast sandwich I got on an asiago bagel, and it was pure deliciousness. The chicken sausage was seasoned nicely, and the asiago bagel was so soft and pillowy. I thoroughly enjoyed this sandwich. And the muffin was quite tasty too. With so many items to try on Joanna's menu and their good customer service, I'll definitely be back to try some other things when I'm in the area.

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.

What a beautiful bakery!…read more Overbird Bakery in Baltimore's Little Italy is baking artisan, European-style sourdough breads and pastries that uses spices and flavors from Turkey as well as the Mediterranean. When I walked in the other day, the baked goods on display made my jaw drop. I would have loved to stay and enjoy my breakfast but I had to get back home so grab and go is my only option. First time here, I'm going to start with a croissant and a special latte they were promoting. The croissant comes to me, warm and fresh in the bag. Ovenbird Bakery makes a great croissant, very buttery and flakey. I'm just passing thru, I'm glad I discovered this great bakery in Baltimore.

I got their vegan sandwich option, the veggie sandwich (hummus, spouts, tomato, avocado, etc), which was fantastic. The side of bagel chips was well worth the extra dollar or two, and overall the prices were quite reasonable ($10 for my sandwich--and it was not a small sandwich!) There was a long line, but we were able to find a table relatively quickly. The vegan cinnamon roll was unfortunately out by the time I arrived, but I would love to have tried that (their other pastries looked incredible). For coffee, I got the coldbrew, which was delicious with a bit of oatmilk. The high ceilings make it feel larger than it is, and the bright patterns add so much personality to what would otherwise be a rather austere industrial space. Recommended for both vibe and food :)

I ordered a Brazilian Yuzuade with Espresso and a Japanese Cold Brew with Oat Milk. Both were great, the Yuzuade was extremely pleasing. I wasn't expecting much from it (citrus and coffee?) but it was my favorite of the two. *Line moves quick. When I arrived, there was a line out the door. I was able to order in a lot less time than it seemed. *Personable service. The Cafe limits the number of guests inside at one time to six. This allowed the staff to focus their energy on only a few people at a time. I ordered the drinks about an hour a part and the person at the register remembered me and struck up a conversation about my earlier order. Despite the five stars, what don't I like? *No vegan baked goods. I will definitely be returning to Cafe Dear Leon because there is ample parking, the prices are good and the drinks are awesome.

When it was our turn, we asked about the beignets. She shook her head and asked if were there for the class. Class? We just wanted to purchase some beignets not take a class..... We ended up leaving and running out of there. This place is a ghost kitchen for many business it seems like and in no way a bakery. Please be aware, there are no beignets on site!
