We sought this coffee shop out on our visit to Annapolis because we always go with the local coffee shop when we can. Unfortunately this experience was not good, frustrating even. We ordered right away but waited over twenty minutes for our drink. When we asked they suggested another customer must have gotten "grabby" and taken it. No real apology for the wait or mistake. Also they didn't have any cold brew. read more

Great little gem!! Book store (new & used) and cafe. Quaint and super cute!! You can sit inside and outside. The yard is a great place to chit chat and a cute place for kids. read more

As soon as I walked through the doors of Brown Mustache Coffee (located in the back room of Old Fox Books), I felt like I was at home. The atmosphere is warm and inviting with an air of cozy sophistication and whimsy. They proudly use Ceremony Coffee Roaster beans and carry a variety of unique drinks that make it worth stepping into this shop (think lavender lattes and Japanese Flash Brewed Iced Coffee). Although their was only was barista, the lined moved quickly and smoothly. There is a lovely garden patio to enjoy a book out if the sun is nice and a little play area for children too that my daughter enjoyed. What a refreshing little stop in Annapolis! read more

Why am I only just finding out about this place! I was always looking for a chill, local coffee shop that made things better than Starbucks and at which I could work on the weekends in peace. This place truly was exactly what I have been hunting for! It's even in the back of a bookstore! I tried the daily special when I went, the jasmine latte, and ended up liking it so much that I ordered a second to go when I was done with my work. It's clear that lots of local folks come here to work on the side; there were college students doing homework, startups holding interviews over coffee, and at least one professor preparing for the next week's courses. I rate a coffee shop based on how good their coffee is and how good the environment is for the kind of work I have to get done at one and this was exactly what I had hoped it would be. Definitely grab a latte and enjoy! read more

Brown Mustache Coffee - Jasmine Latte (Daily Special!) - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Annapolis, Maryland

When we walked in we thought that we were in a Harry Potter movie set. This place is like something you would expect in Diagon Alley. There is a bookstore in back and a nice coffee/tea cafe all the way in front. It's a pretty nice place to relax, hang out and get a good cup. They use both high quality tea and coffee. The tea is fun because you can smell it in little glass jars, the coffee they use are good beans and you can tell. I like the fact that they have some gluten free bakery items and they also have regular pastries that they sell there. The workers are always friendly and more than willing to recommend a cup if you tell them what you like. Highly recommend this place. read more

We ducked in here for emergency caffeination and were so glad we did because it is such a charming little cafe/bookstore combo! We spent the next hour browsing through all of the used books (they extend down to a basement) and getting lost in all of the little knick knacks that make this place so charming. Drinks wise I've had an iced Americano which was quite good and a Rose Matcha Latte. The Matcha latte wasn't anything special but a solid drink! read more

Awesome little coffee shop. Very good coffee and a lovely staff. Wish it were warmer and less Covid so as to enjoy the cool backyard area but I'm sure it's quite tranquil. Would highly suggest. read more

Brown Mustache Coffee - Cool backyard area - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Annapolis, Maryland

I had THE best mocha I have ever had here. And that's saying a lot. I asked for it to have light chocolate because sometimes you get sweet hot chocolate like espresso drinks, but this was perfect. Creamy, I could taste a bit of sweetness and a beautiful combination of espresso. It was wonderful. My husband had a dry capuchino and he really enjoyed his. The ratio of espresso to milk was spot on and he is pretty picky. The little store itself is so charming. The Brown Mustache is a real find for anyone looking for something quaint and unique. We were very impressed. For a good coffee experience you have to check this place out. read more

While visiting Old Fox we had some coffee. Great cappuccino! It made walking around the bookstore all that much better.

This coffee shop is the cutest place you will over visit. The coffee is great, ambiance is lovely. Absolute recommend, must visit if you are ever in Annapolis. read more

Heaven! So many words to describe this magical place -- charming, unique, magnetic, upbeat, relaxing, calm, havenesque -- I could go on. Came here on a two day trip to Annapolis. Walk through the bookstore to the back coffee bar. Do yourself the favor and check out the back patio and the amazing garden just down the stairs. I need a peaceful place like that of my own... just fabulous. I had a flat white, the WiFi was fast, easy to connect to (password was: makeamericareadagain ;) reliable , and I purchased a few really kitschy greeting cards with stamps too. Perfectly set in a little downtown shop lined area. Didn't have any food but they have gluten free options which always earns them a fifth star from me! If you have Coffee at one place in Annapolis, it should be here! read more

Cute outdoor seating in a garden like backyard setting, but my london fog was not good. Tasted like cereal milk. I may return if in the area but definitely for a different drink. read more

Very fun spot in the back of a book store. Friendly staff. No real food options but my latte was very well made. The milk was steamed perfectly and beautiful latte art was produced. They use ceremony beams which is local and great! Really Cody spot to hang out! read more

This place is a book and coffee lover's paradise. Especially if you're into Harry Potter, there are plenty of books, small gifts, and hidden surprises around the shop that you'll love. The main floor has a book room, kids area, fireplace with comfy chairs for reading around, and the coffee bar. There's a huge back patio / garden that I didn't get to hang out in since I visited in the cold winter months, but I can't wait to come back and spend some time reading outside. The basement feels like a secret reading room. It's cozy and quiet and a great place for studying while surrounded by creative book displays and props. The staff here are super friendly and can recommend anything you're looking for. Stop by whether you're on a book buying mission or just want a place to hang for a bit. read more

Cute place inside a bookstore. I had the special tea which was called Bonfire. It was yummy!!! I loved the ambiance and the drinks!

Hands down the best iced mocha latte I've ever had! the book store at the front of the place was awesome to explore as well!

We stopped here for afternoon coffee and tea while visiting Annapolis. It's a quick walk from the State House. BMC provided very good service, nice atmosphere (inside a neighborhood bookstore), good coffee and tea. They carry Adagio Tea. I had a 20oz Earl Grey; it was delicious and smooth with a hint of vanilla. BMC was a wonderful find! read more

Really cool little cafe hidden in a quaint cute book store. The coffee isn't bad and there's a seat to read a book. Don't forget to venture down stairs either, they have a couple more seats and a lot more books. The cafe was operated by one person, so it seemed like more of a side venture rather than a full sized coffee shop. The barista was friendly though. If I'm back in Annapolis I might swing by. It was an enjoyable experience for an $3 cup of coffee. read more

Found this spot while walking through Annapolis. The bookstore was very nice and the honey seasonal latte was very good. Only one barista was working but got the orders out fast. The outdoor area is somewhere I could sit all day. This is a hidden gem for sure. read more

Your run of the mill coffee shop. They had yummy donuts but SO overpriced. Not a lot of space and front is a book store. I'm glad we stopped in on a cold day for something warm but other than that, no need to stop again IMO. read more

Quiet coffee shop nestled in the back of a quiet book store just off the street. Inviting, Quant, and quiet all describe it well. It's the anti-Starbucks. Good service and great prices. All your traditional favorites including a traditional macchiato and seasonal favorites include herbal and lavender teas. Stop in. read more

Brown Mustache Coffee - Perfect study area. - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Annapolis, Maryland

One of favorite spots in Annapolis. The staff are very friendly and the atmosphere can't be beat. This coffee shop and book store is small, homely, and filled to the top with books. The coffee was decently priced, slightly acidic and well flavored. The Carmetto ( a latte with caramel sauce) was fantastic, not too sweet with pronounced coffee and caramel flavor, would recommend. read more

Went here for an early morning coffee and croissant, one of the few places open at 8am on a Sunday (yay!). The service was good, went up to an order window outside and the staff was masked. The ambiance of their backyard patio was super cute and cozy, I also liked that it was not in the busy heart of the main retail area. Coffee was okay, but ambiance more than made up for it. read more

I love this coffee shop! It's a great place to go with friends or just to study alone. I always grab a drink before I find a place to sit. They had a variety of coffees and teas to chose from. I think what I like the most about this place is the relaxing and calm mood. You feel good immediately when you enter, like you're meant to cozy up by the fire and read a good book. They have your classic chapter books to empty journals to maps & photographs. I'd recommend for a good Sunday study day! read more

Super cute place! I love iced coffee but finding a place that doesn't use yesterday's leftovers or burnt grounds is hard. BMC, however, is a gem. Their iced coffee is brewed to perfection & not at all bitter. The amazing outdoor garden and the bookstore upfront are added bonuses. read more

Quaint old-school bookstore cum cafe. Absolutely great atmosphere to chill and read, write, compose, work, even have a meeting (live or otherwise) since it's got a quiet atmosphere not like many of the modern cafes (aka Starbucks) where they blast the music a little too loud and I can barely think unless I have my noise-canceling headphones on. Only downside, is you have to find and pay for street parking. It's not too too bad. Still, it is one downside but the atmosphere easily trumps that. read more

This place is adorable! I popped in quickly to grab coffee for my husband and I (who had the dog out on the sidewalk) so I wasn't able to fully sit and enjoy everything but it's straight out of a movie. Barista was very attentive​ and was quick. The place is located in the back of a bookstore​ so you may be a little confused if there are many people in the front area of the story. It's a real hidden gem. There are some comfy chairs and I can't wait to go back and read and enjoy my espresso. read more

There's few things I like better than a coffee shop inside of a book shop. It's that perfect vintage-y academic quirky vibe. They also use ceremony coffee which is local and delicious. They also have cool latte flavors that I'm a sucker for, like lavender and honey. I also love that they have compostable to go cups and a compost bin. The service is always good too! I recommend it to anyone passing through downtown as a cool spot to check out. read more

The staff is so nice and helpful. Can't beat the decor except with a few more comfy chairs (though there is no room for them). What is important, though, is the coffee: mugs--yes! delicious--yes! Community Roasters provides their beans and baristas have learned to pour drinks correctly. read more

Yummy options. Cool, rustic vibe. Little crowded with Knick-knacks and people, which wouldn't be a problem in non-pandemic times. But, I'd totally go again! read more

WHAT A TREAT! We came here with our 17 month old twin boys at 7:15am one morning and it was the answer to all of our active toddler prayers. Wonderful coffee & pastries, a play area, a spiral staircase and outdoor garden! We will be back next time we are in Annapolis. Thank you!!! read more

This place has a nice and welcoming atmosphere. You are surrounded by books all around and there are several sub-sections that 'if you are lucky' offer semi-private seating. However, it is hard to call here a coffee shop. Yes there is coffee but sides are extremely limited. You can only have cinnamon roles or things like that with your coffee. No refills on coffee and prices are on the more expensive side. read more

The brown mustache is very unique. They serve ceremony coffee which is great and their little patio is also very quiet. Claire is a terrific barista. And going to the Brown mustache as me on Maryland Avenue a lot more. read more
