Cute local cafe with hipster and relax vibe I ordered matcha latte and tofu bahn mi. It was good. Matcha latte is not too sweet and no earthy or bitter taste. Bahn mi is a bit different from the one that I know but it was still good. It is a cute book cafe. Good place to study or talk with friends. Highly recommend!

i adore this coffeeshop! cutest bookstore decor and the tastiest lattes. it’s always crowded with hopkins students and can be a bit noisy, but there is usually a free seat or two.

A beautiful environment with lots of seating and a whole back wall of books. The small cafe sweets are good, and the latte, although not as sweet as I usually prefer, was a nice rich falvor that I enjoyed.

I was sitting there whole day working.. so I had multiple meals. Caprece was very fresh, fresh pesto and tasty. Place can get crowded but it speaks to its popularity. There are standing spaces where one can plug in and work when standing.

Found this beautiful book café tucked into a cozy, modern corner of Baltimore that I have never seen before. Be sure to try their golden chai drink while it’s still available, as it is absolute bliss. 😚🤌 This fun place is just across from the Johns Hopkins Barnes & Noble, but gives you so much more than the more commercialized bookstores do—from great conversations, to books you might not find on the shelves of the store across from it, to the absolutely delicious food and drinks available, I highly recommend this one. The staff are so kind and professional, and it honestly feels like you’re talking to old friends, not just some bookstore, staff, when you talk to them. 😍 by far one of my favorite book cafés in the region!

Good food, good drinks and good books! Can get crowded when university is in session but still a great spot for a meeting or a snack. Love that they have seltzer on tap too!

Nice coffee shop with friendly staff. Kaleb makes very good latte with very latte art. There are lots of books to enjoy while relaxing to enjoy your beverage. The BLT sandwich was also very delicious!

Really fantastic remote work or student work option for coffee as they have a nice atmosphere and plenty of space to work. Great coffee options as well with a few interesting twists like the vanilla mint matcha I tried. I didn’t try one but their pastry options looked fantastic.

Genuinely one of the best oat milk cappuccinos I've had. The Thread Roasters beans they use are from a local roaster and are so good. Love the atmosphere too, and there's nice spots to sit outdoors if it's not too cold

really nice little cafe here in baltimore. we were served fast and everything we ordered was brought right to our table. our coffees were served steaming hot and my oatmeal came out very hot as well. all of our food/drinks were quite yummy and i enjoyed the atmosphere of it being a bookstore and a cafe. we did think the books were a little overpriced, but that can be overlooked given the fact that it is a small business. we really enjoyed our trip here and i loved their banana chocolate latte with oat milk. i highly recommend.
