Ordering was pretty simple and drinks were ready soon after. The food came later but even the color and pattern of the plate felt... intentional. We tried out the Shakè toast which was a seared salmon on kale on sourdough- good serving of salmon and tasty. Also had the bacon egg and cheese that had a nice kick with the jam- classic, crispy, juicy and enough bacon in each bite. Will definitely be back!!

This was my second visit, and it definitely lived up to the first. On my first stop, I had the ham and Swiss panini with a cookie butter latte. The sandwich was grilled perfectly, crispy on the outside, melty and satisfying inside, and the latte was absolutely delicious. I was honestly bummed to learn the cookie butter latte was seasonal because it deserves a permanent spot on the menu. This time around, I tried the breakfast panini and added ham, along with an iced sugar cookie latte (another seasonal drink that was so good). The food was pleasant and comforting, and once again, the drink really stole the show. Overall, Llamas Corner nails the combo of great atmosphere, thoughtful food, and creative drinks. I'll definitely be back... just crossing my fingers that some of those seasonal lattes become regulars.

There are two kiosks where you order. I got the french toast matcha latte which was ready quickly. The matcha wasn't the best quality or wasn't prepared properly, imo. It tasted very soapy and the french toast flavor wasn't very noticeable. I've definitely had much better matcha in Baltimore and wouldn't recommend Llamas' if you're particular about your matcha. Maybe their coffee is better? I also noticed a section on the menu labeled "gluten free" but the only option listed was a bag of chips. Would be nice to see some other offerings for GF folks.

It's within the Johns Hopkins college campus & a neighborhood, so parking is really horrible. I ended up parking in a non spot and putting my hazards on. It's a cute little, but spacious place located next to an airport building. It's on the corner and has a nice little outside seating area with about 5 tables. Inside is bigger than it looks and has a nice amount of seating as well. Since my time was limited, I didn't really get to explore the menu like I wanted, so I ordered a hazelnut latte and a ham & cheese croissant. Their croissants looked so good, I wanted one of each. They also had several toasts on their menu. I'll have to go back for sure! Th service was regular, you order, they tell you how much you owe and you pay. I got in my car and couldn't wait. My first bite was like a bite into heaven. Every bite was the same way, so delicious & delicate. I wish I had two. The latte was perfect, just the right amount of hazelnut. Kanom Cafe is a must try!

It was chewy yet the cookie part melted in your mouth and had the perfect ratio of cookie to croissant. The strawberry matcha was the perfect drink combo. The real strawberry purée on the bottom made it taste fresh. It definitely needed a very good mix, but then it was perfect. The almond milk made it creamy, which has become my new favorite milk choice when ordering matcha. Service was top tier. Quick and easy. The kind gentleman working so nicely opened and closed the door behind me when I was leaving. The inside of the cafe was adorable. I absolutely loved the mirror menu with the handwriting. It made it feel homey and authentic. I parked ways down, as I was in the area and know parking can be tricky. But, let me say..it was worth it and I can't wait to go back!

Guests with animal companions are welcome to enjoy our seasonal outdoor seating. We appreciate your understanding! Please note that our cafe unfortunately isn't ADA accessible. We'd love to offer that to our community once we have the funds to renovate our historic building." They are located on the corner of S Wolfe St. and Fleet St. There is a cafe inside, "We offer a traditional Italian espresso menu along with premium tea, pastry, sandwiches, and other goodies inspired by the Mediterranean region. In the spirit of Italian cuisine, we use the purest ingredients we can find to celebrate their flavors. We want you to taste the rich dark chocolate in our mocha, the cream in our whole milk, the freshness of the tomato, basil, and mozzarella in our caprese sandwich, and so on. No added sugars, preservatives, or anything like that -- all for the best experience possible." I've tried the Iced Mocha and it's really good, perfectly described above. Made fresh, with simple and clean flavors, no fuss or filler. They also sell some cat toys and books about cats around the seating area before you get to the room with the kittles. Some of these book titles are hilarious! Affogatto was started in 2024 by Tony. He helps facilitates the cat interactions. To interact with the kit-cats you can make an appointment (25 minutes for $10) online: https://www.affogatto.com/ and I've been here a few times for the appointments and it's always such a chill time :) You can tell that the kit-cats are well cared for. They are living their best "cat mojo". Very active and are not afraid to chase after a cat toy. The area where you interact with the cats is very clean and tidy. There are places for the cats to scratch on scratchers, lay around in beds, wall mounted shelves and perches for them to climb along, a running water fountain for them to drink water, and a litter box. Each time I come here, there are new kit-cats and that warms my heart... because it means the previous kitties have been adopted to good homes :) I have 2 boy cats that I left at home with my parents when I moved, and I miss them a lot. Coming here is low key therapeutic for me as I get some furs time. The yummy, caffeinated beverage selection also helps :) If you have some time, stop by. Get a beverage, make an appointment to meet some cute kit-cats. You might even find yourself a fur-ever companion :D

The ambiance was beautiful--very clean, cozy, and just a really nice place to sit and enjoy your food. It does get busy, but they're very organized and communicate wait times right away, which makes a big difference. Now the food: Donuts: SO good--soft, flavorful, and definitely a must-try. Cheesecake: A little on the firmer side rather than super creamy, but still tasty. Margherita pizza: Great flavor (9/10). Personally I'd love a bit more cheese, and it's on the thinner side, but for the price and portion, it's still a solid choice. Pulled pork special: 10/10--absolutely delicious. Fried pickles: 9/10--slightly salty for some, but definitely worth trying. We dined in and also did takeout on two different days, and both experiences were consistently great. Definitely a spot we'd come back to!
