Definitely the best coffee in Baltimore. I bought a natural process Ethiopian (Yirgacheffe) advertised as light roast; looks more like a half and half blend of city roast and full city (see pictures). At $29/lb it is not competitive pricing, but I am still happy with my purchase. It does has the characteristics of a Yirgacheffe - moderate brightness, plum, and black cherry notes in the brew; cocoa butter, tonka, and vanilla in the grind. Doesn't need cream; with sugar it tastes more like fruit punch. Highly recommend and would visit again (as my wallet allows), especially if they offer a natural process with tighter roast level.

My friend and I are not super big coffee drinkers but we decided to try this place out none the less. The service was great; our barista was knowledgeable about the different beans they had available and made us a cup of pour over coffee in front of us. It was an entirely new experience for me. The coffee I had was the perfect temperature and pleasant to drink, not hard to get down at all. I also got the last chocolate chip cookie they had in their display and it was, no joke ,one of the best cookies I’ve had in my life. It was dense and tasted the most cookie-y of any other cookie I’ve tried. If you imagine a flavor called “fresh-baked cookie”, it tasted like that. They sprinkled some sea salt and brown sugar on top which complemented the rich taste of the chocolate inside. I’ll definitely be visiting again, it was a great experience. I just wish we got there earlier to see some of the other pastries they offered. 9

Glowing reviews on Yelp led me to immigrant-owned Cafe Los Suenos, a roastery with a long bar where loyal customers sip coffee and eat pastries. Visiting from D.C., it was fun to learn the owned got his start selling beans at the farmers market in Glover Park, D.C. Now, he runs a roastery in Baltimore roasting beans from his native El Salvador. My pumpkin spice latte and Nutella doughnut were both really good. The spice in the latte complimented the type of coffee well. Having a sweet tooth, the doughnut was the perfect treat. Note that they have a credit card minimum of $9.

One of the best coffee shops in Baltimore! The coffee is top notch and the seasonal drinks are super well-done. This is a no-frills place with great execution of its menu! Also, there’s a great origin story to the shop so if you’re ever in with the founder there be sure to ask about it! Kinda small space inside so not a super great study spot for peak busy hours, but the coffee is definitely worth a stop in for!

Really friendly staff at this lovely small coffee shop with a nice large counter to drink your coffee or enjoy your pastry there. I tried the horchata with espresso and really loved the balance and warming flavor of cinnamon even as an iced drink. The chocolate croissant I had was also really good.

We have been multiple times and we absolutely love it! Their coffee beans are very unique and incredible tasting. The vanilla latte is one of the best in the city and we have been to many coffee shops in Baltimore. Local vibes and the staff are very friendly! Also, almond croissant is delicious!

Small traditional coffee place. Great quality of coffee and most importantly how the owner carefully crafts the drinks he prepares. Absolutely amazing his attention to detail and how consistent the presentation is. Hopefully all the baristas appreciate the owners dedication and imitate his precision making drinks.

Lucky neighborhood, this is such a cute, pleasant, social and quality cafe. The coffee is great (perfect flat white), the owner is as nice as he is skilled, and locals sitting at the bar all seemed to know each other. Kudos for the decoration as well. Worth the 10 minute drive from downtown.
