This was my first visit and unfortunately they were out of bread and potatoes which definitely changed what I was going to order. I ended up with the bacon, egg, and cheese burrito. I didn't want too much spice so I asked for the salsa on the side. It turns out the burrito had chopped jalapeños in it which wasn't listed on the menu in the ingredients. In the grand scheme of things that's not that big a deal but when a burrito and a coffee end up costing $29 it is. I also ordered the iced orange cardamom latte which was my favorite part of this whole visit. In terms of service the person working the register was nice, but that's where it ended. I found another staff member to be rude when asking for a simple request such as a cup of ice. If you'd like to stay here and get some work done they do validate your parking which is nice but if you're working on the weekends they limit laptop use to a community table at the front of the restaurant. Overall, not the best experience but I'd return another day hoping I can try more of the menu and that the customer service is slightly better. read more

Catalog Coffee has a major advantage: the location and the look. It fits Hampden well and looks like the kind of coffee shop you want to discover. Unfortunately, the atmosphere, food, and counter service didn't fully match the setting. Right when you walk in, the large menu is on the wall to the right. I had my daughter with me, the sun had just been in my eyes, and I missed it. When I asked whether they had a menu, the worker behind the counter just looked at me instead of pointing it out. I eventually noticed a paper menu, but it didn't seem to include the coffee drinks. There may have been another menu for specialty drinks, but getting basic guidance felt harder than it needed to be. I ordered a cortado and the house sandwich. The sandwich needed more cheese and more flavor. Hot sauce probably would have helped, but the sandwich should not depend on me fixing it. The cortado was easily the star of the visit. It was served with a small glass of mineral water, which was a classy touch, and the coffee itself was very good. Overall, this was a 3-out-of-5 experience for me. Great location, good-looking shop, excellent cortado, forgettable sandwich, and counter service that felt either checked out or purposely unhelpful. I'll probably check it out again, but I'm in no rush read more

The food and vibe here are very good. The pastries and the breakfast burrito are outstanding. The staff is generally friendly and on top of things. There is a large communal table next to the giant front window, which is a great place to work, and there are a few two seater tables in the back. They also have free WiFi, but limit use to 90 minutes. Also, they have only a few outlets, so if you're trying to plug in electronics, you might have an issue. The only thing I don't like about this place is the coffee. The espresso is the very strong, very bitter, kind of sour type, and it's just not for me. read more

What a great cafe in Hampden. It was busy over the weekend when I came. Waited in line for a while before I was able to order the Honey Bunches latte and a Morning Bun pastry to go. The latte was delicious and the bun tasted similar to a Kouignaman. It was full of cinnamon and flaky - a great pastry! Service seemed friendly at this casual place. I will enjoy coming back here on a weekday when it's not so busy to try more of their menu. read more

Visited on a Saturday afternoon, first you should know they validate parking, scan QR code inside. Very vibrant colors welcome you in, the community table available upfront for laptop and screen use on weekends and more intimate style towards back of cafe. Ordering was a breeze, asked a few questions about the menu and was guided to my choice. Drinks are brought over following the table numbers given at checkout. The mocha was really rich dark chocolate, not for a sweet tooth, and the matcha my partner got flavoured with vanilla. We enjoyed them. Sustainable efforts are well on their way here and that was nice to see. Will definitely be back! There's a great menu waiting to be tried. read more

I've visited Catalog Coffee multiple times but have always: *Taken my order to go *Only ordered a Honey Bunches of Oat Latte and/or bagged coffee The Latte is pretty good. It is sweeter than coffee I normally drink so I put it in the "dessert coffee" tier. Definitely a good signature drink that keeps me returning. Catalog sells, and uses, Passenger Coffee (from Lancaster, PA). I'm a fan and so I have purchased bags during my visits. The bags are higher priced and smaller than what you can get at other local shops but the flavor and quality can be better. Overall, I am a fan of the Catalog Coffee Specialty drinks and will continue stopping by when I'm in the mood for a "dessert coffee". Who knows, maybe I'll even get around to trying one of their vegan menu items? read more

Catalog Coffee - Honey Bunches of Oat Latte - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Baltimore, Maryland

Ive decided to give more patronage to local coffee cafes instead of chain options. I decided on this cafe shop today. Its located in Hampden's busy area with very hard to find parking. I entered after waiting on the outside because its apparently a popular spot. After looking over the menu I decided on an iced vanilla latte made with oatmilk and a avocado, egg, turkey sausage on sourdough and a side of french toast. Yes extra because I want to try everything that caught my eye today. Prior to food coming out I found a seat at the community style table as the other seats for more intimate setting were full. I then went to the bathroom to wash my hands. It was clean and they have two gender neutral bathrooms. Food came out. The french toast was cold and okay. My sandwich was made with fried egg with runny yolk. I had to send it back for fried egg without runny yolk. They were go friendly and caring. The only hiccup was they provided a new sandwich that came out with runny fried eggs again. However, 3 is a charm. It came out correct and tasty. The mode/atmosphere with patrons, staff and decor gives hipster and happines with welcoming to all humans. Ill come back as I enjoy the vibe. read more

Yesterday was my first time sitting at the coworking table and I will be back! I loved the decorations inside of Catalog but I especially loved the fact that the large window was open so you could sit on the ledge and be both inside and outside. I ordered the matcha oat latte and the umami breakfast sandwich. The sandwich was an interesting taste, good but I would probably skip it next time unless you love umami taste. Service was also good. read more

I love coffee. Let me open with that. And catalog serves coffee up right! Their plain ole coffee is my favorite in Hampden. It's smooth and not acidic and pretty reasonably priced! The staff here is so welcoming and kind. I also love any place that does a rewards program, and catalogue does! Their food? Also amazing. I love their breakfast burritos. They're MASSIVE. They're two meals for me and I'm not a small human with a small appetite. I appreciate that they source locally. That is important to me! However, catalog is the pricier of the coffee shops in Hampden, but it also has the best location and is the newest. Seating can be a bit hard to get, I appreciate that they encourage time limits on the weekend, and ask that single computer users sit at the communal table. Over all, big fan! Great coffee and food, at a cute bright shop, with great people serving it up. read more

Catalog Coffee - Their fall window!! - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Baltimore, Maryland

This is a super hipster coffee shop. The feel, the drink offers, and the food. They had nitros, freddos, and interesting seasonal flavors. Personally, the espresso was not to my taste, but the latte was still good. I got the seasonal special, cardamom orange latte. I was told it was more orange than cardamom. In the first few sips that was not true, but as the dried orange sat in the drink it got more orange forward. Fun to drink, but wouldn't get it again. This place is worth a try, but I'm not rushing back. read more

I love when someone recommends a new coffee shop and it stands up to the hype that they gave it. This place is so cute and bright and has ample seating. They have a large co working table as well as individual tables so it will fit whatever mood your in that day. The staff is what really makes it though, from the moment I walked in I felt like an old friend. I like that once they know your name they address you by your first name and I was being super indecisive but they were still super patient and flexible with my order. On top of it all they have espresso tonics on the menu and any place that has those has my heart! read more

Coffee ok, ambiance ok, don't care for the little weird biscuity like way all breakfast items served upon. Strange. Seems very popular. Have tried everal times hoping to like different food items and types of coffee but still just fair. I'll not go back read more

Nice coffee shop, but a bit on the pricier end for a café. I got the Bmore Breakfast Banh Mi ($13.50). You get to customize the type of bread you want and how you want your egg cooked. I chose ciabatta with an over easy egg. I only got half a sandwich, which I thought was such a small portion for the price. Keep in mind this is not your traditional Bahn Mi. There was good acidity from the pickled carrots. Although I was not a big fan of the mint. I feel like they should've used cilantro instead. I got their popular 16 ounce Honey Bunches Latte which cost $8. I personally do not think it was really worth $8, but it was good. I ordered it extra hot, but when I received it, it was more warm than hot. I also got the 16 ounce Nitro Iced Coffee for $6. It tasted like a normal iced coffee nothing to complain about, but nothing to rave about either. There's plenty of seating inside and the service was fast. They have a coffee station where you can add your own dairy and syrup. They only had half-and-half and oat milk at the coffee station- no whole milk. The half-and-half carafe was empty so I had to ask them to fill it up. They were kind enough to do it in a quick manner. In regards to parking, there's only street parking. read more

i've been here several times now, and it gets kind of crazy on weekends! the service is always super nice (i stopped in for a cup of water once and they happily provided) and the food is delicious! i usually order a cup of tea and the bird banh. the bird banh is a little spicy and has a really fresh and well rounded flavor profile. on weekdays, this is a good spot to get some work done. be aware that they have a 90 minute laptop limit, and laptops cannot be used at the smaller tables on weekends. i like that this facilitates human to human interaction, and if you want to work for longer or on certain days then you can look for a different spot. this is one of my favorite coffee shops around. read more

Catalog Coffee - bird banh - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Baltimore, Maryland

Have visited Catalog a few times now. Modern Decor with some fun decorations on the shelves behind the counter-mini sports Bobble head collection, Rooster statue to name a few. They have merch for sale as well featured coffee for sale from area Roasters. Nice mix of music piping through the speakers (I.e Marley, soft and upbeat instrumental etc.). An inviting atmosphere where you want to stay for a bit-I see why they have the "please be courteous and limit your stay to 90 minutes or less" table tent. Note-They close the kitchen an hour before closing time. I ordered a spicy Mocha which has some spicy notes but somehow drinks like a tea. Something different and enjoyed it. Have tried a couple of breakfast sandwiches- The Remington Scramble (my favorite) mushrooms, spinach cheddar and chives made for a tasty sandwich. "What the Kitchen Eats" was also very good although the Cito sauce overpowered the Paprika eggs. Friendly and upbeat service. You get the sense from watching them make the coffee/tea drinks they are serious about the process-it carries through to their coffee/tea creations. Windows open up on nice days for an open air atmosphere. Another Hampden Coffee spot worth the stop. read more

With prime real estate on the Avenue, Catalog Coffee is dishing out memorable cafe fair alongside top notch barista brews. The smaller store front hides the depth of the cafe's space, which is filled with ample tables for groups and individuals alike. The staff is beyond warm and welcoming, and drinks and food ordered at the counter are brought to you table side. I started with an oat milk latte, which was top notch. Based on the selection of beans for purchase, it's evident that Catalog knows good coffee. Pastries are supplied daily by nearby Maillard and the latte paired with their famous Morning Bun was a winning combo. After hearing and seeing rave review though, I had to try one of the breakfast sandwiches. As a vegetarian, I felt right at home with the menu, which is filled with ample choices. I went with the Vegan Breakfast Banh, which lived up to the hype! The fresh, pillowy with just the right level of chew ciabatta is the perfect vehicle for smashed scallion chickpeas, zippy pickled veg, pops of jalapeño spice and an addicting, slow burn spicy cito sauce. The sandwich was the perfect size for a satisfying but not overly full bite. Look forward to my next visit Catalog team! read more

Great spot for a morning coffee, but where they really shine is their sandwiches. Everything is prepared really well and the quality is evident. I've had various espresso drinks, and they have all been great. Even better is the friendly nature of the staff when you arrive. I don't think I've seen a coffee shop where the staff know as many names of the regulars as I have here. Just a great energy. Sad that they aren't open on Mondays anymore, as that is when I liked to come. They're still relatively new so expect the hours to continue shifting a bit as they figure out what works best. read more

I came by Catalog around 11 am on a Friday and wow this place was popular! Come early if you want a seat. I was between several sandwiches and the cashier was very nice and helpful in helping me decide what to get. The decor of this place is actually so cute and I love their sun logo, they even have free stickers for it! I took one to decorate my journal. The drinks came out quickly and the sandwich only took about 5 minutes. The service was also nice as they immediately offered a drink holder for me as well as giving me a bag for my sandwich box as I requested one. I can tell there are regulars here at this shop based on some conversations I overheard, and I understand why! There is free back-in street parking available on the street itself as well as potentially free metered parking on the side streets if you come before 12 noon (please check signage!). Mushroom Bahn Mi 5/5 omg, I must come back for this!! The veggies are soft and fresh and when paired with both the jalepeño and the spicy aioli sauce, the result is a mouth-watering tangy sandwich! It comes cut in half and you can probably have this for 2 meals if you're a small eater but I was super hungry after a workout so I devoured this entirely at once Iced Oat Matcha Latte 2/5, sadly this just didn't do it for me. I think it's an issue of matcha ratio to milk which is a fairly common occurrence at coffee shops. Their plastic cups are compostable and feature these cute crab images on them. Ginger turmeric hot tea 5/5, absolutely hit the spot. I normally pair two drinks with my meals and now that the weather is getting a little cooler, I can switch over to an ice and a hot drink! Even though I definitely overstepped this, the ginger was lovingly spiced and the tea almost tasted like a gingery latte with a milky aftertaste? I was a huge fan. read more

Really glad to see a coffee shop popping up on the Hampden avenue! This spot is so cute and bright on the inside. When I stopped by, it was a really nice day out so the large garage door window was open which provided half indoor and outdoor bench seating. Love that! There's a large communal table at the front perfect for remote work vibes. There's also smaller tables that would be good for a coffee meet up with friends. The owner is the same person behind Ground & Griddled (previously within R. House), and I was so happy to see some of the same specialties on this menu. Specifically, the honey bunches latte! OMG! This was my favorite thing ever at G&G and I've missed it terribly. Sooo glad I can get my hands on this sweet, creamy, nutty latte again. I didn't even look through the menu much after my eye was caught by the honey bunches latte but I hear they have great breakfast and lunch sandwiches too. I also want to note that the person at the cash register was so incredibly friendly and had great customer service. I would come back even just for that because it was truly such a pleasant interaction and I felt genuinely welcomed by their demeanor. I'll definitely be back to try more of the menu and work remote from their lovely cafe! read more

Busy, busy, busy (!) coffee and brunch/lunch spot newly opened on Hampden's world famous The Avenue! To get a table or spot at the triangular community table during the limited morning-afternoon hours and limited days open is a desperate, coffee- and sandwich-loving fiend's dream. And I wish you all good luck and amen in that pursuit! Today's _ample_ Cito Bird sandwich with spicy aioli sauce is eaten by me in honor of one of the chef's previously missed local spots Café Cito. Friendly and efficient staff takes your order and bring to and take away from your table. And the ambient music ain't half bad.

I know it's a relatively new coffee shop that opened a few weeks ago. I loved walking into this coffee shop! Love the overall vibe, with decor, lighting and seating. The employees were super friendly, helpful and just overall amazing. I loved that they were dressed and manifesting their own individual style. I know that doesn't say much about the food, but definitely speaks volume about the work culture. Now on to the drinks and food. The chai latte was great! Solid. The jackpot was definitely the honey bunches! So unique and delicious. The food was also amazing! I got to try the breakfast banh mi and again, another great combination of flavors and textures. I had the full catalog and absolutely loved the combination of eggs, bacon, avocado and spicy sauce. *Note: the one thing I'll say,l about this place is that it's definitely on the pricier side. I mean it's true that you get what you pay for, but these 4 items were $40 (plus I tipped $8). So spending almost $50 at a coffee shop (4 items) seems a bit out of the norm. read more

What a wonderful coffee shop! The ambiance is really airy inside; and I love the little sunshine neon sign (their logo) on the main wall, it's really cute. I came here on a Friday to cowork with my partner, and can report that the wifi here is stable and fast! I ordered the morning sunshine sandwich (ciabatta fried egg with cheddar avocado, basil spinach and lemon aioli), and oh my gosh, the fresh flavors really stood out I this sandwich! The lemon was perfectly zesty with the basil and egg and avocado. It has to be my new favorite breakfast sandwich from a cafe! If I lived closer, I would order this every day! We both tried the honey bunches latte with oat milk, and it was good, creamy and not overpowering. Not too sweet but not bitter in any way. A pretty solid latte! The servers here were polite and professional, and quick! If you're in the Hampden area, I'd recommend checking Catalog Coffee out! read more

What a great new addition to the neighborhood! There's a printed menu on the wall when you walk in that includes coffee drinks, a couple of teas, all-day breakfast, and lunch. Plus a few specials. It's a cute shop, and bustling! We were there at least an hour and there was almost always a line! In the choice between a croissant vs. a chocolate chunk cookie, and the Spanish bird vs. the pesto special bird, I chose the latter both times (but only because I asked the staff for their recommendation!). I was not disappointed at all. In fact, that chocolate chunk cookie might be one of the top two best cookies I've had in Baltimore. The chocolate chunk cookie was like a chocolate chip cookie, except had really thin layers of melted chocolate in splotches throughout the cookie. I don't actually know how they did it. But it was thin, chewy, and utterly delicious. The perfect balance of sweetness. (I kind of wish they'd warmed it up just a smidge, but honestly no complaints because it was still that good.) The bird special I got was a sizable ciabatta handheld with moist, pan-fried chicken; fresh spinach; roasted red peppers; goat cheese; and pesto. Simple composition, and excellent ingredients. Highly recommend! My friend got one of the coffees with, most notably, a cinnamon honey signature syrup, which was acclaimed as being as good as it sounds. They also got one of the banh sandwiches, which was perfectly true to its menu board description and highly praised! Will definitely be back. Great experience, nice spot. And great design! Take a look at the wallpaper, in particular! :) read more

Checked back on a Saturday morning. It was busy but not noisy. We were able to find space in the community wooden table to use our laptops. Food was healthy (not overly oily or heavy) and still very tasty. The sauce for my omelette was sriracha-like but better. Little bit spicy but to the perfect point. People here are nice and always recommend good type of food and coffee to us. Great place to join the neighborhood and feel a sense of community. read more

I recently went here for a cup of coffee on a weekend morning and had a fantastic experience. Although there was a long-ish line, it moved quickly. I got an 8-ounce house blend for the day at an affordable price ($2.50). It was the best cup of coffee I have had in a while-the barista had mentioned that the coffee had chocolate notes and I could taste them. The coffee was smooth with a good amount of caffeine, and tasted incredible. I highly recommend Catalog Coffee for the next time you are in Baltimore and I look forward to returning! read more

We were on a hunt for a new cafe and Catalog was an amazing find! Went in on a Sunday morning and the place was full of energy and there were so many customers, but we were still able to snag a table. The interior is very cool, and we especially loved all the green tile. The menu looked extensive and I had a hard time choosing with so many options. We got a What the kitchen eats, cappuccino and a freddo cappuccino and everything was delicious. We weren't familiar with the roaster they get their beans from but it was a welcome surprise. Honestly can say this was probably one of the best and more unique breakfast sandwiches I have had in a while, with the caramelized onions adding a great taste. Overall will definitely be going back to try out more things from the menu! read more

I've since my first visit now had the espresso (excellent), the French toast plate with eggs and bacon, which is amazing, and yes they give you real maple syrup, and today I had the "Chickpeas in Spain" vegan sandwich for lunch and it was also really good.
