    Large iced caramel latte and hot chocolate
    Julian W.

    A cozy coffee shop in the beautiful town of Saint Michael's MD. From standard iced coffee and lattes, to hand-crafted pour overs and French presses, coffee lovers will surely find something they enjoy. Not to mention the hot chocolate was amazing! Highly recommend.

    The. Coffee is good; the smoking area IS AT THE FRONT DOOR. Talk about ambience, OMG. Disgusting... Employees smoke at the front door. Customers are greeted by an exit thru second hand smoke. Some people don't think. They must not need the business.

    The coffee was delicious. So was the ice tea. And the super friendly service and the overall vibe means I will definitely be coming back. Great way to start the day!

    First thing, the people that work here are super awesome. Even though we were just passing through we felt like we were part of the community. Very rarely have I walked into a place and felt like I was part of it already. The coffee was also extremely good. I had the Donnie Darko and must say it was one of the smoothest dark roasts I have ever had. You can honestly taste the quality that comes from being roasted on location. I will be back I hope as I am hopefully getting into sailing and hope that it will bring me back to this gem of a coffee house.

    Came here with my girl friends while staying in the area and it quickly became our favorite place. Not only is the coffee the best I've ever had, the staff makes the experience. They are so efficient and friendly and you can tell they love what they are doing. We had a large group with a lot of orders and they made us feel so welcome. Could not recommend a place more, we are sad to be leaving!!

    Donnie Darko Dark Roast

    Holy Christ, I needed a cuppa (I'm not from England but they don't have a trademark on it) one morning. Saw a bright blue sign as I was on walkabout (I'm not from Austria* either) that said BLUE HERON COFFEE. Now, I don't mess with Herons, one bit me when I was a boychik (you get the idea), but I do get down with the JitterJuice™ Walked in to the comfy establishment and was immediately hit with THAT SMELL...Oooh, that smell, can't you smell that smell! (Shouts to Skynard #RIPRVZ) The eye candy behind the stick was a solid reassurance that I walked into the correct place. Spotting the roaster was my second clue, Col. Mustard. I ask the questions; he answered the questions** AS for the goods, I like worm dirt and the EC behind the counter hooked me up with his darkest roast, Donny Darko. Holy Christ 2: Electric Morning Brew! This. Is. Why. I. Drink. Coffee. Perfect cup of Joe. The flavors were amazing. the freshness was incredible. Tears are starting to form as I write this just remembering the first drop as it hit my lips. It was like watching the movie Rudy for the 1st time...no joke. TL:DR Great place to enjoy a superb cup of coffee. *Please notice my amazing joke about Austria/Australia ** Please notice my amazing usage of the semi-colon.

    This was a cute coffee shop on the Eastern Shore. Why really stood out to me is the fact that the barista offered us samples before we decided on any coffee. I don't know if that is common, but I have never had that happen and it was a nice touch, in that I could find what I really wanted. The other cool thing is that everything here was locally sourced. I don't know if a lot of people are like me, but whenever I can find something local that I can't get somewhere else, that's an added 10 points. Should also mention that the coffee wasn't bad! (And the tea is home brewed as well if you are feeling that!)

    Denied entry when I walked in my service dog, which is illegal. Staff was incredibly rude, additionally coffee was terrible.

    Delicious iced and drip coffee. And super friendly barista. Pastries were good, but seemed like Costco purchases - not homemade.

    My wife and I stopped by during Chocolate Fest and had a really nice time. They were actually…read moresampling some chocolate drinks they were preparing for the festival, which was a fun touch and made the visit feel festive. The atmosphere was great and the drinks were excellent. They make a really good Bloody Mary, and overall the bar side of things was a highlight. For food, we split a sandwich, an appetizer, and a salad. The sandwich was very good, but the rest of the food was just okay. The Caesar salad didn't seem fully tossed, and the pretzel with crab felt like it may have been microwaved. It wasn't bad, just not on the same level as the drinks and atmosphere. Overall it was a nice stop and we enjoyed ourselves. We'd definitely go back for drinks and the atmosphere.

    My husband and I went here for Valentine's Day dinner. We started out with the fried burrata. I'm…read morenot sure what else I was expecting but for $26 I felt a little jipped. It was quite literally just a panko crusted burrata that was fried. And that was it. I guess for the price I was expecting like a side baguette or more tomatoes. It was good but not worth it to us. For our meal we got the lobster pot pie ($42) and the short rib ($42). The pot pie had a great flavor and had some good chunks of lobster. Although I did find it a little more on the soupy side and thought it could've been a bit thicker. The short rib in puff pastry had a good flavor but was dry. The mashed potatoes and Brussels sprouts were good but nothing memorable. Overall this place provided a good meal but for the prices, I would expect out of this world memorable flavors and perfection, which it was not.
