I was completely blown away at the complexity of the Desert Rose, from the individual layers of apple petals, to the refreshing sage and apple compote within the petals. Undeniably one of the highlights of my recent Baltimore trip.

Parking was very hard to find on a Sunday afternoon so I ended up parking in a garage.

I had heard great things about the coffee at Cafe Dear Leon and I thought I'd try something new…read more Why five stars: *Incredible vegan friendly drinks! 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.

Even after they went viral they continue to provide a fantastic product, experience, atmosphere & vibe. Pro Tip* If you can find time to go during the week early you can really get in and out quickly. Great service as always. I usually go with an Iced Mocha- which is top tier Crab dip bagel - GOATed Honestly any pastry item from this bakery is great, they don't miss, Steph Curry type stuff. The staff is always nice and prompt. Highly recommend this spot.

They were clumped together and hard as if they came straight from the fridge :/ I can't even focus on the drink because I'm spending a lot of time chewing. Updated to add that it wasn't until I had a sip that didn't have boba pearls that I could taste the matcha. I'm not a huge matcha fan, but I could tell that it tasted artificial.

I had my weekly coffee shop Saturday at Kanom Cafe. I'm from Baltimore and was visiting over the…read moreweekend, and chose Kanom because I'd never been there before. It's within the Johns Hopkins college campus & a neighborhood, so parking is really horrible. I ended up parking in a non spot and putting my hazards on. It's a cute little, but spacious place located next to an airport building. It's on the corner and has a nice little outside seating area with about 5 tables. Inside is bigger than it looks and has a nice amount of seating as well. Since my time was limited, I didn't really get to explore the menu like I wanted, so I ordered a hazelnut latte and a ham & cheese croissant. Their croissants looked so good, I wanted one of each. They also had several toasts on their menu. I'll have to go back for sure! Th service was regular, you order, they tell you how much you owe and you pay. I got in my car and couldn't wait. My first bite was like a bite into heaven. Every bite was the same way, so delicious & delicate. I wish I had two. The latte was perfect, just the right amount of hazelnut. Kanom Cafe is a must try!

Matcha crookie was so gluttonous, I'm glad they only do it on weekends otherwise I'd be getting this all the time. Their pineapple coconut croissant is so fresh (summertime pastry).

I've always heard such great things about this cafe and I'm so glad I finally tried it. For…read morestarters, I am absolutely obsessed with crookies, aka cookie croissants, and this one did not disappoint. Warming up was the way to go! It was chewy yet the cookie part melted in your mouth and had the perfect ratio of cookie to croissant. The strawberry matcha was the perfect drink combo. The real strawberry purée on the bottom made it taste fresh. It definitely needed a very good mix, but then it was perfect. The almond milk made it creamy, which has become my new favorite milk choice when ordering matcha. Service was top tier. Quick and easy. The kind gentleman working so nicely opened and closed the door behind me when I was leaving. The inside of the cafe was adorable. I absolutely loved the mirror menu with the handwriting. It made it feel homey and authentic. I parked ways down, as I was in the area and know parking can be tricky. But, let me say..it was worth it and I can't wait to go back!

A cute little pastries and coffee shop in Hampden. While they had a outside vendor stall for…read moreHampden Highlights I opted to go inside and order. Seating is very limited. Like maybe order something you can eat on the go tbh. I ordered a strawberry croffle and a strawberry matcha tea latte. I crushed both of them because it was delicious. The whipped topping on the croffle wasn't thick and grainy or too light to where it instantly melted. It kept a shape while being light and fluffy and not overly sweet. The strawberry matcha latte also was pretty good. All in all I'd recommend this spot to anyone walking around the neighborhood and indulging in some shopping in the area.

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.

Affogatto Cafe' - a great find on a Sunday morning. I was in the area getting fishing advice from a…read morenearby tackle shop and happened to discover this cozy café just around the corner. 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!

This is the singularly most beautiful store in Baltimore!…read more The bread is absolutely fire! The most amazing array of sourdough, donuts, croissants, and breakfast foods. 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.
