When I first started going to Roggenart European Bakery, I would order a sandwich to go, and…read morewhether it was hot or cold, they packaged it in a clear plastic container. The presentation was beautiful--colorful, appealing, and the bread stayed firm and crusty. They truly use fresh, high-quality ingredients. Unfortunately, that has changed. Now, hot sandwiches are wrapped in paper and then in foil. This method traps moisture, causing the bread--especially their delicious sourdough--to become soggy instead of crisp. It seems like this change was made to save money, but it really takes away from both the presentation and the quality of the sandwich. For a sandwich that costs $12.95, I would gladly pay a few extra cents for the original packaging if it meant keeping the bread fresh and crusty.

This is now my go-to tous Les jours, despite it being a bit farther from me than other locations. I…read moretried the Ellicott City location first but it pales in comparison to this location. There's more natural light, the parking lot is easier to enter/exit, and there's no time limit to your visit! Also if you sit by the wall, there are outlets that make this a perfect study spot! The customer service is great and the drinks come out quick, even during the lunch rush. I'm a simple girl so when I see a croquette, it's going on my tray. Today I opted for a kimchi croquette and I was lucky to get the last one. Thankfully, their holiday drinks are still on the menu and the gingerbread latte was delish. I'm not a coffee drinker but the balance of coffee and sweetness was perfect. 10s across the board!

After our early dinner, we ventured here for coffee and some sweets…read more As busy as they were, I was happy to see the pastry case still fully stocked with plenty of options. Fresh and delicious pastries!! The only thing they didn't have was the cinnamon raisin danish! That's my jam. The Tiramisu Latte with oatmilk and an extra shot of espresso & EXTRA HOT was just lovely on this cold, windy day. Paired really well with my sugar doughnut twist that didn't make it out the parking lot... Soft and delicious. 10/10! And the raspberry macaroons TWO THUMBS UP 10/10. We also bought a strawberry cloud doughnut, pumpkin spice & cheese danish & a kimchi croquet for later. :)))))))) This is one happy girl! Happy Yelping!

The Pistachio Latte looked good so we got one hot, one iced so we could share & try the two variations. We asked for almond milk in the lattes. Fitting: pistachios & almonds together. Both were really good. Can really taste the pistachio flavour after stirring the latte. We'll keep Qaffee House in mind whenever we're in the area. Side note: I found their logo quite clever artistically. It made sense after I looked at the name "Qaffee House" and back to logo. The cup is the Latin letter "q" and the symbol with the two dots is the Arabic equivalent to "q", the Qaf (ق). And this leads to Arabic word for coffee: "qahwa". Nicely done blend of languages.

The last day I got a drip coffee for 2.40 total. The price of all the drinks was very reasonably and the size of the drinks were a good size.

I would consider hanging out over here.

I ate here on a Saturday in late April around 11:00AM. The line was out the door and seating was…read morepacked inside. People do seem to respect the 90MIN seating window though so you should be able to find a seat. You order and pay at the counter first and then they give you a table number card. This is how they find you to serve your food. I ordered a regular matcha latte, a bacon, egg and cheese sandwich on croissant bread and their famous croffle. I loved their matcha latte. It's pre-sweetened so no need to add extra vanilla syrup or anything. This does not taste like a traditional matcha, which in my opinion tastes like dirt. This is a sweeter, dessert like matcha. I didn't care for the bacon, egg and cheese sandwich. It was kind of dry and it tasted like something was missing. The croffle was amazing. It has a nutty, pecan like taste to it and it was topped with vanilla gelato and blueberries. I couldn't really taste the maple syrup but it was delicious nonetheless.

I also…read moreappreciate that they offer healthy food options on the menu, although I didn't get a chance to try them this time. This review is specifically about the coffee. I really enjoyed the cappuccino, and I like that they offer agave as a sweetener. That said, I do wish the cappuccino had a bolder coffee flavor. On its own, it leaned a bit too milky for my taste. However, once I added an extra shot, it made a big difference, I got the richer coffee flavor I was looking for along with an extra boost. The temperature was good, but I did notice that even when I requested it extra hot, it came out the same each time, which was a bit puzzling. Overall, I'd give it 4 stars. It's a nice spot, and I would definitely come back if I'm in the area.

Representing 2024 in alphabet series, M is for Mad City Coffee. Like 2023 M, another mixed bag…read more3-star review. I had been to Mad City multiple times in the 2020's, but I shied away from them in 2025 after a couple of not so good times there. I really like their iced chai. That's what I get every time I go and sometimes dirty with espresso shot depending on my energy level. Multiple circular tables and not a bad place to WiFi. It can get a bit crowded and set up is a bit awkward as there are coffee bags, plants, etc. that can get in the way, and sometimes just a bit narrow for a time when it's crowded. I've generally liked the music overall with Sirius XM 60's, 80's, Jazz, Christmas music, etc. As I write about 60's music, I'm hearing Beach Boy's "Good Vibrations" where I'm wifi now, but Mad City doesn't give me such good vibrations any more and has even lived up to their name making me mad. There was one time more recently like in 2024 I was annoyed with whatever the music was, but I made do. The first time I went might have been during Covid with my girlfriend at that time in July 2020, and I was impressed with the chai tea. In October 2020, my company wanted to do something social during this tough year. So, we had a company golf outing where we could be outside. Afterward, I went to Mad City to wifi and did so outside on that nice 75 F day. I think I wifi another time more recently as it was busy inside and was a nice day, and my computer was well enough charged. One of the last times I visited in 2024, I wanted to get the extra large iced chai as I always do. This is more price efficient to get 32 oz as opposed to 24 oz for only 30 cents more. The cashier was snippy & said we don't do the extra large for the iced chai. I said I've always gotten the XL and been coming here for years. They ultimately honored my request, but I was annoyed we got into an argument about it. They have frequent customer cards. This is old school as a lot of places use apps & digital way to track your visits. I don't mind. I'd hand them this card from my wallet, and they'd mark my visit. The very next visit after they argued about not doing the extra large iced chai, I handed my frequent customer card, and I think a different cashier who was also snippy, said oh we don't mark the drink card for chai. I said you always have, and she said it's an "Espresso/Coffee Drink Card", not for tea. I said that was dumb, but I still got the iced chai as that's what I wanted. The next time I went I told the manager, and he did honor the card saying that they don't deny. However, I already was annoyed with Mad City two consecutive times.

I love eating at this facility! They have a drink called the blue banana with blue spirulina (I…read moreprobably spelled that wrong), but you get it. The prices are good for the quality of smoothies that you get, out of all of my favorite smoothie spots. I would say this one is the best, you can customize your drinks. The customer service is good. the place is really clean, and there's a really cool vibe about it, like there's a swinging chair that you can literally sit on and just like chilling and it's never really crowded. I would highly recommend coming in here if you want to try something besides smoothie king that is also really good for you with natural ingredients. The owner is very proud of her store and everybody there seems happy which makes me really happy too.
