Pie time has a small selection of sweet and savory pies. I had a bacon egg & cheese on Texas toast,…read moreflat white, and key lime. The menu has a large sign saying whole milk only, but it wasn't until after I ordered that I saw you could swap for oat milk for 50 cents. I wish that sign was bigger. The food was cold and took a long time to heat up/ seemed like the workers were put out that we wanted hot food... I was not impressed by the service despite the fact that the place itself is cute. It felt like just being there was a hassle. I liked how different the flavors are, and I really enjoyed my key lime pie and appreciated that they had their list of vendors public. I thought the coffee and pie was... fine for the price. I don't think I would go here again.

I've passed the Pie Time while walking in this area and thought it looked cute. I stopped by for…read morebreakfast after spending the night at a friend's place who lives nearby. Though I walked here, you can find street parking in the area though it is limited and you will likely be circling several blocks before finding something (and please check signage restrictions). Pie Time is really meant as a to-go shop as there is very limited seating, just 4 tables as well as a bench. They do have wifi but I would not say with such limited seating that this is a place to study/work at. They do have a drink promotion with a punch card where after you buy 10, you get a drink free + 30% off a bakery item. The ingredients are locally sourced and there is information present on where they are from. They also have a local bulletin board with local events that I think is good for the community to find established third spaces. Alternative milks cost $0.50 extra. I paid a little over $20 for the three items below, which I also think is pricy for what I ordered. Hot Chai Latte w/ whole milk 1.5/5, this drink was sadly disappointing. While it was hot, there was virtually no taste of chai present. This tasted like hot milk with just a sprinkling of cinnamon / chai over it as opposed to a chai latte. Apple Pie 3/5, this was an average apple pie, I think it could have been improved by adding something like cinnamon to it to enhance flavoring Pumpkin Pie 4/5, this was good, I did think it was small, however. The pumpkin spice flavor was present throughout though the dough of the pie was unevenly textured throughout (some parts soft, some parts hard).

After taking a long time to figure out what I wanted since EVERYTHING looks delicious, I settled on the Nashville hot chicken dip and the shakshuka, as well as a dirty chai latte. The Nashville hot chicken dip was warm and inviting, perfect for scooping up with their toasted baguette slices. The shakshuka was flavorful and comforting, also perfect to be scooped! The dirty chai latte was creamy and arrived at the perfect temperature! The latte art was so cute, too. The restaurant is cozy, their staff are so friendly and awesome with allergies. I will definitely be back!

Wow what can I say other than wow! I wanted to try this new spot in town because I've been wishing…read morewe had more protein houses in Baltimore. I ordered the mango protein shake and OH MY GOSH this was hands down the best protein shake I've ever had I rarely finish my drinks, but this one was so good I drank the whole thing. Since it's a new spot, it's probably still developing, but it already has nice seating and the sweetest staff ever. I think it might be family owned, but I'm not totally sure. Either way, I'll definitely be back for another mango protein shake very soon. Wishing this business all the success, it deserves to flourish!

I've had the matcha latte & berry blended drink from here - wouldn't recommend either. the matcha latte did not taste good at all and there wasn't much of a matcha taste. the berry blended drink contained no real fruits. it was just ice and berry juice... overall, it's become my go-to spot for a small bite when I'm at school!

Affogatto Cafe' - a great find on a Sunday morning. I was in the area getting fishing advice from a…read morenearby tackle shop and happened to discover this cozy café just around the corner. They serve Black Acres beans (a favorite of mine) and some seriously good croissants. I kept it simple with a standard latte and a butter croissant. The café has window bar seating inside and a couple of outdoor tables, making it an easy, comfortable place to slow down. The barista was friendly and even shared helpful fishing spot info. The interior has a cozy, minimalist style, and with Sunday morning light, the whole place felt like a warm, relaxed place to be. From what I could tell, there's space in the back to meet and greet the cats. I'm not in the market to adopt, but for anyone who is, this seems like the place to connect with a new purring family member. Worth a visit if you're in the area!

A jerk of a manager, who goes above and beyond in making his customers feel unappreciated. The only reason this place is still open is because they are close to some of the people in the building; if it weren't for winters in Baltimore and time-constraints, no one would come here. Every time I go, I am reminded that the extra 5 minute walk to any other restaurant is worth the better lunch and friendlier service. Unrecommended with extreme prejudice.

What's wrong with me?…read more This is like one of those bad relationships that you keep going back to because it's convenient rather than because you truly like them. Food is expensive and mediocre at best. The manager is so incredibly rude and mean to not only her employees (I don't think there has been a day that I haven't seen her yelling at her employees and giving them evil looks in front of all the customers) but also to her customers! The last time I was here I ordered a hot water for my tea (I bought my own bag). The cashier didn't have a chance to ring me up yet and I asked if the hot water cost any money. The manager yelled from 10 feet away, "YES OF COURSE IT COST MONEY. IT'S 50 CENTS!!!! CAN'T YOU READ THE BOARD?" WHOA WHOA there...I told her to calm down as it's only 8 in the morning and she didn't need to catch an attitude because I never said I wasn't going to pay. If you have such a hate on life then maybe you should stop working in the food industry or better yet, stop being around people. The other employees have always been courteous and nice so far. So I feel bad for them having to work around such a tyrant. Her attitude as a manager has caused such a low rating because the leader of the ship makes the difference. Also the 10 oz cups are only 6 oz. Why advertise it as such when you are clearly lying? This was the last straw, so I'll not be coming back.
