    Signature crogel, apple Danish, double chocolate cupcake, and hazelnut croissant.
    Sheneil B.

    A great place to chill and get some work done, hustles of the open work around so lots to look at too. Friendly greeting as I got there. Picked up a TGTG and got these goodies to try. The muffin didn't make it home, and the crogel is just the flakiest (so good). Stop by if you're in the area or just make them a destination.

    I stopped in for a morning snack and had a delicious sampling of croissants and muffins. Everything was fresh and flavorful. The almond croissant was my favorite. The service was kind. I got it to go but I can't wait to check out the interior and spend a morning there over the weekend.

    Apple Danish and Drip Coffee
    Erica B.

    Black Acres Roastery is my new favorite work space! Cafe Fili reigned supreme for quite some time but it's becoming increasing crowded over the last year around lunch time. I needed a quieter space. I found it in Black Acres Roastery. It's quite, spacious, and just want I needed. There were lots of seasonal drinks made with sweet potato syrup, maple syrup, etc. since it was my first time I stuck with regular drip coffee. There's nothing regular about their drip coffee. It is scrumptious!! I also tried the Apple danish. I almost didn't get it because it was rather big. I got it warmed up. First bite I knew I made the right decision. It was DELICIOUS! So damn good! It was only 1 Apple Danish left in the container. If there were more I would have gotten one to eat later. 100% recommend

    Black Acres Roastery is located inside of Open Works, a co-working and maker space that hosts skill building workshops related to technology. I love the concept of Open Works because if you know me, you know I love all thing's accessible and affordable for my community. But on to Black Acres lol Overall, I really enjoyed my first time at Black Acres! The staff was very personable and helpful, I even overheard the person at the register helping a woman around the menu. It's always refreshing to be met with staff that's willing to answer your questions. They have a pretty fun selection of lattes, coffees, and tea beverages. You can even buy their Colombia Aponte Honey roast at the Trader Joe's in Towson (that particular one is a bit too light for my cold brew heart). Besides the staff being the obvious stars of the show, they have this genius bagel that I never knew I needed. Gather around as I sing the praises of their Crogel! You heard me, it's the cronuts savory hip cousin. A croissant, thinly sliced and topped with everything seasoning in the shape of a bagel. It was so savory and yummy, I need a pack of 5 at my local grocery like yesterday. I also got the marrakesh morning and yuzu cold brew. The marrakesh was sweetened just right. The yuzu cold brew was refreshing but more citrus forward than I was anticipating. I also bought a pack of their single serve decaf packets! Check them out if you want a break from your regular coffee work spot and are looking for some light fare. Overall a very neat place, and a nice addition to the greenmount area :)

    Great coffee and pastries. Nutella filled croissants and crogel. It's a walk up window but service was still good. Outdoor seating was a nice vibe.

    Latte and Matcha Latte
    Smitha M.

    I am all for supporting small, local coffee roasters so I was really excited to check this out with my friend! The coffee shop is located inside Open Works, it has easy access in and outside the building, relaxing yet productive vibes. The high quality coffee drinks were made in a timely fashion. I highly recommend the matcha latte!

    If you love coffee, you must stop by Black Acres Roastery. One of two locations in Baltimore, this one is inside a co-working space with a mission to empower local small businesses and creators. Inside is Black-owned Black Acres Roastery selling a full coffee menu from classics to specialty drinks like a baklava latte. (If you like more sweet drinks, order one.) They also sell pastries locally made like muffins, coffee cake, cruffins, etc. For a more substantial breakfast, order the breakfast sammie. If you add bacon, it's really delicious!

    Black Acres Roastery is located in what seems to be a studio space. They offer ample parking and a variety of caffeine beverage from teas to cold brew. I had ordered the Salt Bae ($5.50), which was rich and creamy in the salted caramel flavor mixed in with espresso milk. I had paid for the Nitro Cold Brew ($5), but the barista said they were out and instead got a regular cold brew which normally I would understand, however I did pay extra for a nitro cold brew and did not receive anything in return. The cold brew was good, but for the small size, this cafe is a bit expensive. There is enough seating room and I do believe in supporting small businesses, but I was not content with my experience here.

    Great coffee and breakfast spot that was in R House. I'm behind on reviews and stopping in after going to an ultrasound appt at Hopkins. The staff was super friendly. They offered all types of coffee/ drink styles. The breakfast Sammie's weee delicious, my wife and I ordered two different ones. Sad to see them leave that spot but excited to visit their new location. Also had them at the Sagamore Penny Proof event. Pumpkin coffee and the everything bagel cronut (croissant doughnut) were freaking to die for.

    Almond croissant and Gingerbread Latte @blackacresroastery

    One of THE best coffee experiences I've had in a long time! The Gingerbread Latte was amazing and the warmed almond croissant was the perfect blend on flaky and decadent! Definitely returning to the Greenmount location again and again!

    We stopped by Doppio Pasticceria Sicilian Bakery for lunch with our two Grand-Loves (ages 6 and…read more10). It is a cozy, smaller spot, but the team moves really efficiently. We opted to sit inside instead of the patio because a rogue bee decided to bother the girls, LOL! The pizzas are made completely fresh to order. We got a Pepperoni Pizza for the girls and the Meat Lover's Pizza for my Wife(My BFF) and me (we swapped out the prosciutto and added onions). The girls absolutely loved theirs and knocked down 3 to 4 slices each! The crust had great crispness and held up firmly without getting soggy. The pepperoni and sausage brought tremendous flavor, though I preferred the Meat Lover's because the sausage and onions created that extra layer of savory depth. The crust edge was just a tiny bit darker than we normally prefer, but that was minuscule compared to the overall quality. Big thumbs up all around for both the food and the friendly service. Before leaving, we had to grab some treats from the bakery side to go: Cannoli: My Wife (My BFF) ordered this (fried shell filled fresh to order with sheep's milk ricotta, cinnamon, chocolate chips, candied orange, and pistachio). Classic and delicious. Bomboloni: An incredible fried yeasted doughnut filled with honey saffron pastry cream. The dough itself was so soft, pillowy, and fresh. The honey saffron filling is unique, light, and not overly sweet, my Wife (My BFF) wasn't as keen on that specific flavor profile, but I loved it. Cornetto: Essentially a giant, lightly sweetened laminated brioche croissant. Flaky, buttery, and light. We could easily eat these pastries on a regular basis. We're thrilled to have found another go-to pizza and bakery spot whenever the craving hits!

We got 2 pastries and 2 coffee drinks. I got a lemon spritz espresso soda thing which actually was delicious! My husband got plain iced coffee which was also good. What I didn't appreciate was my drink being served in a soggy, soaking wet/condensing cup. They use paper to go cups. They need to figure that out, it was pretty rough to hold - collapsing and soggy, not a great experience. Our pastries were just okay - got the fig/creme filled big puff and a spinach ricotta pastry. Both were fine, a bit dry, and I've had similar/better things from Tous Le Jous, cafe dear Leon, and even ovenbird. These seemed maybe not so fresh. They do charge a 15% gratuity for all orders so we paid about $4 extra for a soggy cup and only okay pastries. Ultimately we just didn't love the experience and the cost. I'd come back to try the pizza and sandwiches but I will have low expectations.

    Believe the rave reviews -- it really is as good as people say it is…read more I didn't go to a single other place twice during my short trip to Baltimore, but this one had to be my last stop before I left. That should tell you something! I also genuinely did not think their most popular item, the crab pastry, would live up to the hype... but holy crap, it really is that good. It's such a unique pastry and it's so filling too. I love their coffee, and I ended up ordering a bunch of pastries just to try them -- every single one was a hit. Not a miss in the bunch. It's also such a beautiful cafe, with lots of students and people working and chatting. Such a lovely place to sit for a while. Highly recommend!

I went on a weekday and there was a short line so the wait was no more than 5-7 minutes. The ambiance was fast-paced and smelled of fresh baked pastries, which was right up my alley. There was plenty is seating in the back as well as outdoor. They have a menu for you to peruse before you order. They have assorted sweet and savory items along with typical bakery drinks (coffee, tea, etc.). The staff were very pleasant when I approached the counter for my order: a crab dip bagel, ham and cheese croissant, and a "crookie", which was a croissant with chocolate chips inside and topped with chocolate chip cookies. My items were packaged in no time and I was provided with reheating instructions for my items as well. First up, the crab bagel, a nice, fresh, pillow soft bagel topped with a mixture of fresh crab and sweet corn (not on my bingo card to be included in a traditional crab dip ). This was interesting...I did have to add additional Old Bay seasoning to this once I was home (I'm a Bmore gurl, what can I say?), which made it more tasty, in my option. Now, for me, would I go across town and potentially stand in a long line for this? No, I wouldn't. It was just okay for me. Next, the ham and cheese croissant. The croissant was flaky and airy with the perfect amount of chew and crisp. I did reheat it according to the instructions and it was good. The ham's saltiness combined with the cheese and croissant made for a decent item. Finally, the "crookie", which I also heated up. Now THIS???? I was not expecting that burst of sweet, delectable flavor in my mouth. This was my afterthought purchase and proved to be THE star of my whole Cafe Dear Leon experience. The croissant, once again, flaky, chewy, airy with the surprise of chocolate chips inserted with those two chocolate chip cookies on top....NOW, would I go across town and potentially stand in line for THIS? YES, yes I would!! All in all La Maison Cafe Dear Leon won me over with the ham and cheese croissant and definitely the "crookie"! I will be making my way across town again soon.

The coffee was good, but it felt more like a chain coffee shop than a specialty café. The syrups appeared to be standard rather than house-made, so it didn't have the craft coffee experience I was hoping for. During my visit, my iced latte had quite a bit of ice, and when the lid was put on, some of the espresso spilled over the sides of the cup. The cup was quickly wiped off and handed to me, which was a little disappointing. Overall, it's a convenient option if you're nearby and need a quick coffee, but I'd probably explore other local coffee shops first if I had the time.
