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.

Their pastries (cinnamon roll is my favorite) are always a hit in my house. I'm a cold brew girl and theirs is phenomenal. They have plenty of options for syrups, milk alternatives and cold foam. I'm so grateful to have a small business coffee shop in the area that is worth going to!

I've been coming to JeannieBird for a number of years, spanning back to when the dearly departed…read moreJeannie was still running the business. It's not only a joy to see the business still enjoying good success, but to also taste the enhanced skill of the bakers here. Make no doubt about it, the croissant here are authentic and delicious. Just the right amount of butter to bring out their savory character, with just a kiss of natural sweetness. The ham and Gruyère is an absolute pleasure. They have actual content; not just a tease of baked in ingredients. The financier were also perfect! I'm very much looking forward to seeing any additional Parisian pastries added to their counter. The traditional stars of their menu remain outstanding: the iced tea and sweet potato biscuits. While JeannieBird isn't always on my way to my usual destinations, this business is always worth a special trip.

Today service was so bad.

The waiter was patient with my questions and explained what some of the food was as I deliberated over a unique to me menu. I started with the Tolma, which was cabbage stuffed with very tender and flavorful meat. I next ordered Beets with Walnuts and was surprised to see a dish of three squat pieces of beet and walnut mix. It was served cold and was very refreshing. I ended the meal with the Adjaruli which is a cross between a pizza, dip, and bread bowl. It was the best of all those things! Apparently, I needed to be taught how to eat the Adjaruli because I was trying to cut pizza like slices and dip them into the egg. The waiter corrected me (very politely but emphatically) that I should mix the cheese and egg together, then pull off bits of the outside dough to dip into the center. I was close!

My son is in love. At a food stall on a recent vacation, he tried a Georgian cheese boat (Adjaruli,…read moreif you're in the know) and has declared it his new favorite food. Bread bowl with melted cheese and a raw egg yolk to break an mix in - it was made for the boy. So when we came back home, we Yelped "Georgian restaurants" and found Little Georgia, so we came here for his birthday. There's a front entrance on the main drag, but a big private parking lot out back with an entrance there, so we came in. Two mannequins with traditional Georgian (wedding?) attire are there to greet you, with lots of Georgian art and maps along the hallway as you walk in. It was lunch on a weekday, so not a very busy place. Two people at the bar, a table of teens, and a family getting up just as we were entering. Relatively empty. So I was surprised how slow service was over the whole visit. Our waitress was very kind, but I got the impression it was maybe a one-person show. Unfortunately, we skipped asking for some beverages (beyond water) and dessert because we were worried how long it would take. I would definitely try this place again though, because the food was overall pretty good. My son got his Adjaruli cheese boat and was delighted. The bit I tried was good - salty stretchy cheese with a garlic infusion - can't go wrong! My wife got the Phkhlovana spinach cheese pie and it was huge and delicious. Imagine a spanikopita that's cheesier and more bready than flaky crust. Would get again. My brother opted for lamb chops with fried potatoes and I got the Ojakhuri lamb and potatoes. Both were very tasty with a nice seasoning on the potatoes and lamb with a really good piquant and garlicky sauce. My only complaint is that the lamb was pretty well done, and in my opinion lamb is best medium rare; our waitress didn't even ask if we had a cook preference. The ricey, cheesy "cheese balls" appetizer came with the same sauce. Child #3 was in a picky mood that day, so he only ate half of them. They taste like you'd imagine. Solid, but nothing spectacular. Per a recommendation from our waitress, we tried the Adjapsandali eggplant salad. As good as everything was, this was a memorable part of my meal, and I have a love-hate relationship with eggplant. It reminded me a lot of a Catalan Escalivada - roasted eggplant, onions, and peppers served cold but this had a nice salty-sour dressing with it. Would totally get again. It's a nice place with a cuisine that's hard to find in these parts. Reisterstown 2026 with prices to match. The food was overall solid. I wish the service were a little better, but not so bad that I wouldn't come back. Recommended for sure!

Coffee Beanery in Owings Mills is my daily go‑to spot -- truly my favorite takeout place ever --…read moreand the reason is simple: Farouk and his incredible team. Every day, I order my caramel crunch swirl drink with whipped cream and an extra shot of espresso, plus both a mango smoothie and a strawberry‑banana smoothie. Their drinks are exceptional -- and their smoothies are honestly the best I've ever had anywhere. I recognized Farouk the very first day I walked in, even before I knew why. He used to serve me at Rita's across the street, and he's one of those rare lights of a human you never forget -- not because of what they say, but because of how they make you feel. When he looked up and said, "How are you, my friend? I used to serve you at Rita's!" everything clicked. He remembers my name. He remembers my complicated daily order to the letter. He greets me with warmth every single time -- even when I walk in two minutes before closing. And unlike so many places these days, he never shows irritation or rushes me. He makes me feel valued. One night, I accidentally called 30 minutes after they had already closed -- and Farouk still answered the phone, cheerfully, by name, and took my order anyway. Only after confirming it would be ready did he gently mention their Sunday hours. He still insisted I come pick it up. That kind of customer service is almost unheard of today. There's also Yani, who is shy but incredibly talented. She listens with her whole heart and makes drinks that feel like little works of art. She puts genuine care into every cup. And the kindness doesn't stop there. I've been surprised with freebie drinks when there was extra smoothie mix, offered a mistaken drink for free, and even had two drinks remade after I dropped them in the parking lot. Farouk saw it happen, took the empty cups from my hands, and recreated them without hesitation. Moments like these create customers for life. Coffee Beanery deserves a solid 5 stars across every platform. ---
