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.

I LOVE Cafe Dear Leon! This is a spot you'll want to take to-go, as there's no seating inside but…read morethere are some seats outside which may or may not be full on the weekends. I really want to highlight their cold cut sandwich. This is one of the best I've ever had. The salami, pesto, mozzarella and tomato complement each other perfectly. I'm not sure if they have this sandwich year round, but if they do then don't skip it!

Karellas is a delightful cafe found in Baltimore, specifically Greektown…read more My friends & I came ready to feast, and we were not disappointed. They have a good selection of appetizers, entrees, drinks, and a couple of dessert options. We started with the spicy feta dip, the octopus appetizer, and the cheese balls appetizer. All three were delicious but the octopus was definitely a highlight. I would get everything again in a heartbeat, especially the octopus and the spicy feta. The cheese balls were rather rich but delicious nonetheless. The Greek village salad is a perfect accompaniment to the platters - as all the veggies tasted fresh, the feta was delicious, and it was plentiful. My lamb chops were perfectly cooked and the platter came with six lollipops at market price (which was $35 the night we went, so not bad at all). The pita was delicious of course and the fries were well-seasoned. We'll definitely be coming back!

What a beautiful bakery!…read more Overbird Bakery in Baltimore's Little Italy is baking artisan, European-style sourdough breads and pastries that uses spices and flavors from Turkey as well as the Mediterranean. When I walked in the other day, the baked goods on display made my jaw drop. I would have loved to stay and enjoy my breakfast but I had to get back home so grab and go is my only option. First time here, I'm going to start with a croissant and a special latte they were promoting. The croissant comes to me, warm and fresh in the bag. Ovenbird Bakery makes a great croissant, very buttery and flakey. I'm just passing thru, I'm glad I discovered this great bakery in Baltimore.

I got an espresso and a pour-over…read more The espresso was their house blend and very well executed. Seemed like a medium-dark roast with a creamy full body and smooth texture. I got milk chocolate sweetness, mild acidity, some citrus/fruit notes, and a little spice as well. The flavor got more complex as I worked through the cup. Balanced shot overall with good texture and distinct tasting notes. 5 / 5. The pour over was also solid. Full bodied, fruity and floral notes. 4/5.

The food, unfortunately, did not live up to the atmosphere. It felt like the menu may be trying to do too much for too little, and my sandwich was underwhelming for the price. I honestly would have preferred a simpler or smaller menu, or paying a little more, if it meant it was done really well. I would still return for the space and coffee, and I genuinely hope they refine things a bit because the foundation is solid.

There's tons of seating, and even a little back room with some couches and a coffee table. The green walls with wooden accents around the space give a natural effect, and I think is conducive to focusing on work. I've got to echo other folks' reviews - the dirty chai is FANTASTIC. As was the hot coco, totally recommend. As for food, honestly not too shabby. The avocado toast had solid flavor with the red onions, but maybe not my favorite avocado spread. The breakfast sandwich was also good but I think the bagels toasted a tad too long. Between the drinks, the food and the vibes, I would say it's a solid place to grab breakfast and hang for a while!

If you're in it for the caffeine, the dirty chai is also great, both hot and cold! It's also a good place to work-- they had a surprising amount of table/desk space and the wifi didn't require a password which I think makes the WFH experience much more seamless and friendly for customers. A great local spot that I now take my friends when they are in town!

I was surprised on how empty it was inside (only 1 additional customer working on her laptops). I expected the place to be busy considering that it's right across the street from the law school.

I've been back a few times and the drinks keep getting better and better but the lack of traffic has me believing that this new favorite of mine may not make it. The staff is friendly.
