My go-to order is the pressed-flat chimney cone with Nutella, bananas, and strawberries. It's served hot, fresh, and makes the perfect afternoon treat. They offer a huge variety of toppings, so there's something for everyone, along with fresh juices and smoothies if you're looking for something to drink. My platter was around $13, which I think is a great value for the quality and portion. If you have a sweet tooth or are looking to try something different, I definitely recommend stopping by. I'll definitely keep coming back!

Lumier's is not far from Gordon Ramsey's Fish & Chips and the Pier. There are SO many choices (sweet drinks, juices, ice cream) but the chimney cake is the unique item to order. It is a dessert within a dessert. The chimney cake is delicious by itself. But you can have a variety of toppings placed inside - ice cream, fruit drizzled with caramel, crushed cookies & ice cream and other choices. You can enjoy dessert or a beverage while watching boats, the sunset or activities at the Wharf. It is the perfect place to grab a treat. Check instagram or the web site for hours. They are usually open late.

But then I finished my coffee in the thermos and wanted more for a full-on coffee day. Searching what's the nearest coffee shop, I found this one, which is placed within the Hirshhorn museum. It was a typical museum cafe, with essentially a 'stand' within the lobby of the building, where both coffee shop customers and non-customers lounged out. Of course I had first checked to make sure they had outside seating. Initially nearly no one was there, so it was very quiet--but the nice thing is sitting outside in the courtyard, when one looks up, one sees the perfect circle of the rotund building--I took a nice photograph of the circle with the blue sky and clouds in the middle. I had a regular (large) brewed coffee with milk. Staff was friendly in guiding me to where I could charge (once my laptop started to die after many hours of work outside). There was a charger in the lobby, and I could sit there once one of the few chairs nearby became free. They had bathrooms downstairs, along with a water fountain. Very good place to get work done--all the ingredients were truly present. Even if the mood was not full-on coffee shop style.

I was able to observe the baristas making the drinks and the quality seemed inconsistent among individuals. Milk was poured heavily. I ordered the coquito and it was practically milk instead of the expected Puerto Rican eggnog. The coffee was brewed weakly, so I was dissatisfied by the lack of fragrance and caffeine. It needed more warm spices and a nutty base to justify being one of the most expensive beverages on the menu. I would not visit Dolcezza again, even though it was convenient. I would rather walk nearby for a decent cup of joe.

My friend who used to live in Baltimore told me her and her mom loved Pitango. She is gluten-free and pretty much all of their gelatos are gluten free. They also had a large selection of dairy-free options too. It's a tiny shop, but there are what feels like over 20 flavors to pick from. The person who was working there was extremely kind and let us try whatever wanted. I tried the dark chocolate and bacio flavors and ended up choosing those as my gelato for the evening. The smallest cup was a regular and came out to able $9 with tip. There was a lot of seating options outside. I'd recommend this spot for a sweet treat.

They had a larger than expected non-dairy selection so I ended up with two such flavors in addition to one more conventional gelato flavor. All of them, including and almond nougat creation that was new to me, a bitter chocolate sorbetto, and a kiwi flavor with little fruit pieces, delivered amply on flavor. The price was more eye-watering than mouthwatering. I suppose it's both a premium location and premium quality, but that was a small cup for over $10. As an occasional indulgence, I do recommend it, and given that it's a Baltimore brand whose original location is near the water, there's something appropriate about it being on the wharf.
