Sean (the owner) provided SPECTACULAR service with wonderful recommendations. Since we were the first to arrive for the day, he allowed us to choose our own seating. Reservations are HIGHLY recommended! Dress code is casual. We decided on the Chef Brunch Menu for our Friday brunch which provided 3 courses. I had the Nitro shrimp and grits, Chicken Teriyaki Bowl and French Toast Dippers with fresh fruit. My fiancé had the Chicken Dumplings (potstickers), Crab Quesadillas and French Toast Dippers with fresh fruit as well. The Jamaican Iced Tea is a MUST try!! We'll definitely be returning to see what the dinner menu is like. Oh... parking is rough (street parking) so get there early!!

We were able to speak with him he waiter regarding the menu as well as the chef's background. The restaurant has an open kitchen concept, so we could see the chef at work. To start we had Chicken Dumplings and Duck Poutine. Both were truly an experience. For entrees we ordered Red Snapper, Blue Plate, one had pork, one did not, and the Chefs cut. All was amazing. There is a lot of attention to detail with the flavors and with the restaurant service. I cannot speak highly enough of the chef and his establishment!

As a huge cat lover and coffee addict, Affogato Cat Café is basically my version of paradise…read more Having grown up with four rescue cats and rescuing another as an adult, animal rescue holds a special place in my heart. Walking into Affogato is dangerous for me--I have to constantly remind myself that I can't bring home every adorable kitten I meet! The café has the cutest retro 70s vibe, making it feel cozy, unique, and full of personality. The owners are some of the sweetest people you'll ever meet and have hearts as big as their mission to help rescue cats find loving homes. And let's talk about the coffee for a second--the Affogato with peanut butter ice cream is absolutely purr-fect. I came for the cats, stayed for the coffee, and left trying to convince myself that my fur baby, Margo Mae, is perfectly happy being an only child... at least until I can convince my boyfriend otherwise. I've come in with friends and as a date day with my boyfriend. Make sure you sign up and reserve a time well ahead of time. Whether you're a cat lover, coffee enthusiast, or just looking for a fun and unique spot in Baltimore, this place is a must-visit. Just be warned: you may leave with a caffeine addiction, a favorite kitten, and a sudden urge to expand your family.

They serve Black Acres beans (a favorite of mine) and some seriously good croissants. I kept it simple with a standard latte and a butter croissant. The café has window bar seating inside and a couple of outdoor tables, making it an easy, comfortable place to slow down. The barista was friendly and even shared helpful fishing spot info. The interior has a cozy, minimalist style, and with Sunday morning light, the whole place felt like a warm, relaxed place to be. From what I could tell, there's space in the back to meet and greet the cats. I'm not in the market to adopt, but for anyone who is, this seems like the place to connect with a new purring family member. Worth a visit if you're in the area!

I like the changeover in service to the evening menu post-5PM. The staff are friendly and welcoming of patrons being in the cafe before the evening changeover. The evening menu looked delicious and expands on the culinary creative Pitango. The one place of improvement would be noise reduction, the ambience was thrown off when orders were being yelled from the counter rather than matching the calm ambience of evening menu. Nonetheless, I look forward to coming to the cafe again and trying other delicious foods of the evening menu. Con; service flow and communication of takeout or table Pro: ambience for evening menu

You don't need to look anywhere else for breakfast! But the price is definitely a little high... but quality and beautiful space requires proper compensation. There is a restaurant on the bottom floor with beautiful decor. The top floor is a sitting lounging area where people can study, work and eat casually. The steak and cheese bagel is mind blowingly good! It tastes like slow brazed beef and not like Steak and cheese meat. I will definitely back with my family. It's right across the street from Hyatt Place.

I was sent to order at the counter and said I wanted to eat there. I was told to go back to the hostess to be seated. When seated, I was told I needed to order a full breakfast or go back to the counter to order and be sent outside. You serve food. There are a dozen open tables. And every person there ignored me until I asked for service. They're obviously popular. Definitely their food not their service.

While, I…read morehave yet to have any of their food selections, the coffee is easily the best I've had in the entire DMV. It's a nice coffee shop with tables that you could easily bring your computer to and the people are extremely kind. So it's a great environment for individual work or small meetings. As someone born and raised in Seattle, we take our coffee very seriously. Despite the fact, Starbucks was started there, we all despise it and prefer the smaller coffee shops. I say this to emphasize that I take my coffee and the quality and flavors very seriously. This place is well worth your time, even if it means going out of your way!!!

They offer some really creative drinks, and sometimes the flavors are a little too bold for my taste, especially when they mix things like juice into an espresso latte. But their holiday seasonal drinks get me every single time. We have tried the "Over the River and Through the Woods," the hot chocolate, the cinnamon crunch latte, and the mistletoe toasted marshmallow, and I have enjoyed all of them! I also appreciate that their hours are longer, which makes it a great spot to get work done. I will say the seating is not the most comfortable if you are in the booth with the wooden seats, but it still works when you need a change of scenery. The food has been hit or miss for me, but recently it has been more of a hit. I am still wanting to try something from their pastry bin because everything in there looks phenomenal! Looking especially at the sweet potato pastry! Overall, I think this place works well if you know what you are coming in for. The drinks are good, the atmosphere is solid, and the location right by the water makes it even better.
