    At the front door...
    Mike H.

    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.

    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 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!!

    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!)

My go-to, however, is Amity! Unique to Amity are their single-origin beans roasted fresh in-house! The coffee and food are delicious! The drink and food menu is ample and offers a great variety of choices, including gluten-free treats and vegetarian foods. Best part - everything is made fresh in-house! Put these menu items on your must-try list: 1) Chocolate chip cookies - I've been on a hunt for the best chocolate chip cookie and Amity's is high up on the list 2) Cafe Nico - delicious hot or cold coffee made with fresh orange citrus zest 3) Hot ham and cheese sandwich and the quiches! Very good! 4) A scone with coffee/tea is always my go-to! Amity boasts a cozy place for the community to come together, for friends to catch-up over coffee, and for small businesses to meet and network together. The venue can also be rented out for private events! You can trust Amity with its clean eatery, a cozy and welcoming atmosphere for the entire family, great hospitality, and an overall good experience. If the husband & wife-owners are working, make sure you say hello. They are super friendly and would love to welcome you to their shop.

I saw the video and knew it was going to have phenomenal pour overs and espresso drinks. Since the cafe only opens on Saturdays from 8-1, I knew I had to make an effort to stop by despite the 30+ minute drive. Unfortunately, many other people had the same exact idea as me, and the staff was definitely overwhelmed by the popularity. There was a long wait for espresso drinks (at least 30 minutes). All bags of beans were sold out (I'd recommend ordering online and picking up or getting it delivered in the future). POUR OVER / DRIP - 5.35 By the time I ordered, they were out of most pour over options so I tried the Costa Rica Cumbres del Poas since I wanted a fruitier coffee. Fortunately, the wait for pour overs was pretty short, about 10 minutes. The flavors were fruity, but not overwhelmingly so, with a lighter mouthfeel. The pour over was a bit more diluted than I'm used to, but I still enjoyed it greatly. CORTADO - 4 After a 45 minute wait, I finally got my cortado. This has got to be one of the best cortados I've had in the DMV. The espresso was bright and fruity and paired well with the steamed whole milk. It was definitely worth the wait! If Nagadi was closer, I can see myself going 1-2x a month. I'd highly recommend this coffee roaster to any coffee snob looking for high quality coffee in the area.
