The first thing that jumped out at me when I walked in was how reasonable the prices are. I ordered an iced coffee and paid less than $3 which I loved! There are lots of fun drink options ranging from smoothies, your typical coffee drinks, and frozen coffee drinks. I saw some other customers order food and I'll have to try that next because it looked nice and fresh. The baristas were so friendly too. There are two floors to the cafe. The second floor seemed to be the "work" floor when I was there. There were plenty of people doing work on their laptops and hanging out. I can see myself coming here to work a lot in the future :)

I don't expect every place to have ceremonial grade or to even whisk by hand every time, but this one I got was quite clearly premade way in advance. The color being so dull is a clue. The banana flavor sounded interesting, but it tasted overly synthetic. I'd be open to coming back to try coffee though, which I'm sure they're more known for. Baristas here are friendly and gave some recommendations. Parking is street parking outside or in the neighborhoods.

I stopped by on a Friday around lunchtime, and it was super popular and busy! I was hoping to get…read morework done, but all of the tables with outlets were taken, so I'd probably take that into consideration before going next time. I ordered a mango matcha latte. It was good and smooth with no clumps, though I wish the matcha was a little stronger. I was a little disappointed to see them pour the matcha from a pre-made pitcher (my fave coffee shop whisks matcha per order), but I am still glad there were no clumps. The menu was a little confusing, too. The mango matcha was listed as "all $6", so I was assuming it would be one size, but the cashier asked if I wanted a small ($6) or large ($7).

The…read moreinside isn't huge, but there is covered outdoor seating that adds a lot of extra space and is especially nice on a pleasant day. The standout for me was the banana bread latte, it's absolutely incredible and worth ordering. I also tried the tuna melt. It was good, but nothing particularly memorable, and it felt a bit overpriced considering it was just the sandwich without any sides.

It was my first time having crêpes, Biscoff pancakes, and mango Matcha tea. The employee Who prepared our food was friendly, knowledgeable, and brought the food to our table. We easily found parking on both side sides of the street.

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!

The space is bright and simple, perfect for getting a study session in. The pastries looked so good I had to grab one. I was instantly drawn towards the garlic cream cheese bun because not a lot of places sell that and it's one of my favorites. This one did not disappoint. It was creamy, sweet, garlicky, and soft. The worker offered to warm it up for me since I was sitting inside and that made it 10x better. I'll definitely be back to try their coffee and for more delicious treats!

She intentionally chose to tea to not compete with local coffee shops near by. She has a crazy book collection spanning food, art, history, scifi and more. The teaware is usually imported for artisan from the east; ie japan. She a great conversationalist and heartwarming friend; I love her so much. I could go on but go and visit for yourself. Tell her Bilal sent you. I do have a challenge for you, they have this tea book there that goes nicely with her numbered tea system, every time you come in try one and take notes.

As mentioned previously, there is extremely limited seating and table space so this isn't the place to necessarily study or work if you aren't coming in right at opening or just are plain unlucky.
