I have been coming to Cafe de Roma for many years. It has never let me down. Today my good friend delivered a cup of cream of Crab soup to me, it was out if this world delicious. Thank you and thank Michele Elder for the gift of delivering my lunch. You are the best Sandy MacKenzie read more

Great customer service! I placed my order over the phone and the person I spoke with was very friendly, she also was very nice when I arrived to pick up the food. We lovedddd the shrimp salad on rye, the chicken Caesar wrap their sandwiches and wraps come with chips and a pickle. However, I did not care for the chicken pesto wrap. It was super messy and didn't have much flavor. I will be back for the Seafood club soon! read more

My husband purchased me a shrimp salad sandwich from this venue and now I'm addicted. Not just to the shrimp salad, but the corned beef Reuben and the black bottoms. It's not a big establishment and the line has been to the door on more than one occasion and I believe it's because the food is so good. There are tables to dine in or eat outside. It just gives me the feeling of a coffee house and I like it. There is more on the menu for me to try so I'll be back. read more

My first visit after hearing about their shrimp salad sandwich. It was definitely a well packed and delicious sandwich. It came with a pickle and chips. It was pricey but honestly worth it! The cafe is very small. Parking is in front and I think behind the building as well. Service was fast. read more

Stopped by for a quick lunch, the place was packed with a lot of locals so the wait time was about 25 minutes or so. Ordered a chicken Caesar wrap that was average, nothing special. I've had the shrimp salad wrap before that was slightly better. Overall, I do think there are better sandwich shops/cafes in the area read more

I decided to try this place based off of TikTok reviews and they did not disappoint. It was a very easy process. I ordered by phone and my order was ready when I arrived 20 minutes later. I got the famous shrimp salad sandwich and it was absolutely delicious The shrimp salad was seasoned to perfection and the bread was fresh and soft . Although it was just a pickup order the crew was nice and polite. I will definitely be back soon!! read more

This place is the real deal. My husband saw this place on instagram and needed to try it. I don't like shrimp salad and cafe di Roma changed my mind. I will be ordering this sandwich for the rest of my life. I hate mayo and anything I can taste mayo in. This was more like an old bay sauce. You also great what felt like a pound of shrimp on the sandwich. It was life altering. My children all took down the chocolate top cookies like it's their job. I will 100% be going back and recommend anyone else trying it too. read more

Solid sandwiches their shrimp salad sub is the best. Longer wait times due to social media hype would recommend ordering ahead of time.

A cute, cozy cafe and it was empty at first but at some point it got crowded quick. Service was very polite and chai was really good. I always love to try Reuben's at places and this one did not disappoint. Definitely will go back! read more

I had some time after my hair appointment to get some breakfast. I ordered an americano and breakfast sandwich. I have gotten the shrimp salad in the past and that was delicious. Today is Saturday so they are busier than usual. My breakfast sandwich - eggs and cheese on a croissant was delicious. Eating outside made me feel like I was in Italy. The prices are so good for the quality and quantity of the food. Highly recommend this hidden gem. read more

I was visiting family and staying in Catonsville, and Cafe di Roma saved my bacon! It is open great hours, and several days I got both lunch and dinner there (and a latte!). Delicious shrimp salad, black bottom cupcakes, deviled eggs (limit 5 per customer), and they make a mean BLT with turkey bacon, hooray! For like $8. Maybe $7. The service was mostly super friendly. They do make things to order so be prepared to wait- or call in your order (give them like 20 minutes). If I were in town longer, I'd try the smoothies...they sound great! read more

Excellent everything. The staff is lovely. I met the owner and had a lovely conversation. It was nice to get a sandwich that came with a bag of chips and a pickle. read more

It's OK. I wouldn't make the mistake of ordering the cheesesteak again. The Reuben is OK, if light on the corned beef. The last time I ordered a Reuben, the order taker asked what meat I wanted on it; she argued with me about what a "Rachel" is versus a "Reuben," and was wrong. read more

I am highly impressed with the level of service and food quality at this Caffe. The place has a divvy feel to it. I loved the quirky decor and the humous conversation between the cook and the man in front. They were so friendly and in sync, I could not tell if they were co-owners. I kept it simple: classic breakfast and a more "trendy" beverage. Nailed both. At any other place, I would've paid $6 for the spiced chai tea close to $20 for the breakfast. Here. Less than $20 for both. For me, the best part of the service was hearing what I wanted and serving it right, 10/10 recommend read more

Great local place to grab a bite. Always good salads and soups - and then the baked goods!

My son has been talking about going to this little Cafe for weeks so we went last Sunday to try the world famous shrimp salad. We ordered at the counter and had three shrimp salad sandwiches, two cups of chicken noodle and one bowl of crab soup. We also had three real ice teas. Here is my opinion on our choices. The crab soup was good, filled with veggies, but lacking pieces of crab meat. The chicken noodle soup was good but it had weird wide pasta noodles which made the soup not tasty. I prefer regular egg noodles in my soup. The best choices were those jumbo shrimp salad sandwiches. The shrimp were falling out of the bread as we ate the sandwich and we needed forks to pick up those pieces. Highly recommend those sandwiches as a number one choice. We also took carry out chicken salad which was very good. read more

Small neighborhood eatery with sandwiches filled to the max! Mine was a tuna salad sandwich. Friendly staff. I'm a repeat customer.

Craving a shrimp salad sandwich at 7pm on a Friday night. I check and the Caffe is open til 8. Found a parking spot right out front. No one in line ahead of me, things are definitely going my way. The man in front of me got his order, and it was a one pound cup of shrimp salad served with a fork. I asked the price of the shrimp salad sandwich, $16.25, and the price of a pound of shrimp salad, $17.00. Who needs bread? I ordered at the counter, and it was ready in 7 minutes, as they had tables outside they were also serving. Super quick service on a Friday night, and the staff were so nice! I made two generous sandwiches out of that pound of shrimp salad when I got home! This shrimp salad is the real deal. Delicious, spiced perfectly, with BIG shrimp. The cream of crab soup was delicious too, and a cup was a bargain at $6.25. Next time I'll have to try the MD crab soup. The menu had so many tempting items! There are a few tiny tables inside, and a few more outside. A hidden gem in Catonsville! read more

A go-to for breakfast, lunch, and coffee. I live and work in the area, and find myself in there multiple times per month. I've never had a bad experience, and I've been going for over a decade. The food is consistent and very reasonably priced. Where else can you get a BLT, chips, pickle, and large iced tea for less than $10? Just a heads up - they are often VERY busy. For good reason! They're awesome. But be prepared to wait. It's a small place, so it can get cramped during meal times. But it's so worth the wait, and the people who work there are fantastic. A true Catonsville gem. read more

Honestly if zero stars existed this would get that. Potentially the worst customer service I have ever encountered. We went here on Mother's Day and it being a local spot was pretty crowded and we walked there. We entered and placed our order for some reason only sizes for lates were large and xl but you could get a medium vanilla chai so I think there trying you to buy bigger sizes but we orders pancakes and sat outside. About 20 minutes went by which was expected and we went into the shop and asked if they were ready she pointed to two pancakes on the griddle and said be out in a minute. Another 15 minutes went by and we back in her response was do you want to buy me a new griddle and we left and ended up getting a refund for the pancakes after one of the workers kept on repeating we did we did inferring they refunded us probably never going again judgement was insane. read more

Haven't been here in so long but it's still a solid cafe with great food. Sadly they no longer have their delicious gelato but their food is great. Particularly the Shrimp Salad sandwich. It's filled with plenty of shrimp unlike those places that out like 4 pieces. It is a cafe so seating is a little tight but not a big problem. Definitely come here if you like seafood. read more

I have no doubt this one star review will not change anything, and therefore edited it to remove the details, to get to the point for the potential customer. I am not going to let it slide under the radar of a 4.5 star review restaurant that you, as a new or even regular customer, are not going to be treated with the mutual respect, appreciation, or even the common decency that you deserve. Take it from me. I used to be a loyal customer until I became the one that was the subject of the employee's (all three) mocking, humiliation, and dismissiveness on Mother's Day of all days. Sure the food is usually good. The reviews are mostly good. Yes, there are so many reasons to support local small businesses, but those reasons are diminished when the people who make up the business, almost never find it necessary to support you, your family, friends, and community with dignity and courtesy in return, and instead seem to take delight at bringing people down and making a mockery of others during what is supposed to be a small, simple moment of peace and enjoyment in what otherwise might be a hard day. Please understand the impact of how you treat your customers. And human beings in general. read more

An average small cafe experience. Caffe di Roma is a great place to start your day if you're a local. Everything you'd expect at a diner you'll find here: coffee, bagels, breakfast sandwiches. The interior is a bit shabby, but in a chaotic charming way with daily newspapers at an arms reach for reading and small activities for kids. I got myself a cup of coffee and the breakfast burger. The coffee was standard, a bit too hot for my liking, but serviceable for my daily caffeine intake. The breakfast burger, was extremely underwhelming. It was a well done patty topped with cheddar cheese, scrambled eggs, and hash brown potatoes. Everything was made on a griddle that gave it a greasy bacon flavor which was appreciated, but the abundance of over grilled food left the burger very dry. If the eggs were sunny side and runny, they would have added some much needed moisture to the burger. I ended up drowning my burger in hot sauce to give some flavor boosters and added moisture. Prices and services are both well done. If you are nearby and need your morning fix, Caffe di Roma is a nice start for your day. read more

The best shrimp salad in Maryland! (It's a sandwich but I got it without the bread). Comes with chips. Next time I'll ask if I can sub potato salad, if they have it! Would like to try coffee and some other menu items but I can't not get the shrimp salad! The inside is very small and I always feel like everyone is staring at me. I thought it was because I am always the only one wearing a mask. Employees no longer wear masks doing food prep or table delivery. I am from a different county, where things are more strict, so this is always a bit of a culture shock to me Anyway, after reading through some reviews, I think people are not staring because of the mask. They are staring because I am not a local LOL! read more

Caffe di Roma is one of my favorite local Catonsville spots. Easily the best Latte around. ..order extra large (venti) hot! Blows Starbucks away. Everything is made to order so sit back, relax and chill out. If you're in a hurry go somewhere else. But if you want fresh, local, feel good food, you've come to the right place.

It's no surprise that we love our new hometown of Catonsville and we try to do as much as we can to be supportive....and of course at this moment in time, it finds many of our local businesses to us just trying to survive during the Covid problems. We are also blessed at the moment to have jobs, so we try to do what we can. We have been to Caffe di Roma for lunch a few times over the few years we have been here and had always enjoyed it, so it was no surprise when I saw them on Facebook and was thrilled they were offering *Shannon's Weekend Survival Kit*. Many businesses are coming up with clever little ideas to increase their income. Caffe de Roma came up with a choice of several soups, shrimp or chicken salad, 4 slices of cake, 4 bags of chips, a loaf of bread, a dozen eggs, lettuce and tomato. Went to pick it up at their lovely little shop (so cute and I cannot WAIT to be able to sit outside with a latte in the future!) and I have to say I really hope this might be something that they think of offering in the future. While my hubby and I are not really homebodies....we truly enjoy dining out, for the moment, it's been so enjoyable on the weekend to have cocktails and different food we have purchased for carry out! We selected the shrimp salad and chicken noodle soup. I picked it up after my workday and it was all ready in this lovely little basket. It was nicely arranged and the gentleman gave it to me and while we are all wearing masks, he was quite happy and I could see the smile in his eyes! Everything was quite delicious and we have a dinner and a lunch . Just a nice change from getting an evening pizza and for some reason the basket of food seemed thoughtful and made me feel so special. A good deal. If you are interested, find them on Facebook, order by phone by Wednesday at 3PM. In closing, I look forward to dining there again....I do REALLY believe this is a great concept....might be something to consider keeping, but we really appreciate it for our time at home! read more

The food and drink is good, but what's up with the customer service? Every time we order I feel as though I'm inconveniencing the young woman at the front. She huffs and puffs. Fairly certain she has lied about being out of stock about certain items when she just didn't want to make them. I don't eat in at the cafe anymore because I just don't want to hear the staff whine. I just feel better giving my money to a business that greets me with enthusiasm. I know food service is a hard job, but you kinda just have to suck it up. Edit: Business owner reached out. Yvonne cares about her business and the customer experience. 5 stars :) read more
