Every time I think I've tried all that Annapolis has to offer I always stumble upon a new establishment. I'm not sure how long Curate Annapolis has been at this location but they are a solid business for those who enjoy coffee shops that offer much more than coffee. We arrived fairly early so everything you see in the pictures was freshly prepared. It is my understanding that some of the items do rotate but they always have some variation of the items you see while supplies last. I noticed they are using Ceremony Coffee another local establishment...it's packed with a strong coffee flavor so I had no objections. I did a basic coffee with a splash of cream and a little maple syrup. My food was warmed up in the oven and served perfectly with the best flaky crust I've had in a long time. More customers arrived throughout the morning so you could immediately tell this place is doing something right because majority were repeat customers. There's seating indoors, few tables outside, I saw a few dogs enter (for the pet lovers), and a few parking spaces right in front of the shop. Easy decision...yes I will be back. read more

We stayed at a nearby hotel walking distance from the cafe and enjoyed morning coffee and light breakfast on two occasions. The Latte and Americano were prepared just right. The breakfast sandwich and scone were delicious. Service was friendly and effective. We ate inside the casually comfortable cafe one day and outside the next. read more

Love the scones here! They have a delicious blueberry and jalapeño/cheddar as well as seasonal offerings like pumpkin ginger. Never tried the other pastries bc the scones are just so darn good! Make sure you ask them to heat it up for you. Service is quick and there's indoor and outdoor seating. This is a popular place for co working or work meetings during the weekdays. Not a big coffee drinker but have heard their drinks are good as well! read more

Overwhelmingly Caucasian and serves limited food options. The sandwich I got was $15 and depressing. I definitely expected more from a 15 dollar sandwich. It was mostly bread, which also happened to be a cheap hamburger bun.... The side salad has blue berries and nuts in it with only one dressing option. I wouldn't have gotten it if I had realized it wasn't just a standard side salad (that's my fault though). Amazing if you're looking for free Wi-Fi and nothing else. You also buss your own table, which is annoying but at this point I'm biased due to my disappointment. Go to 49 west. It has a much more friendly atmosphere with better food and beverage options at a better price. read more

This coffee spot in Annapolis is in an excellent location. There is parking directly out front on the street, but I don't know about the rear . They made the drinks from scratch and they have some great pastries. I believe we tried one or two. And there is a small amount of seating on the inside. Maybe about four or five tables and chairs. The baristas are highly skilled and polite. read more

There were 4 in our party, including a 10 year old. We went to the wine pairing on a Saturday night. Two of us were not wine drinkers and there were ample non-alcoholic choices. We ordered every board and two of the desserts. The food was scrumptious. The service friendly. The ambience comfortable. Every table was full, to include the outdoor tables. I was so struck by the myriad careful choices the owners had made from cutlery to pottery to custom mats under the flowers. This new place is slated to be a go-to destination in Annapolis. Can't wait to introduce more of my friends to CURATE. read more

Today this gem opened in our great city. I have been a big fan of Brown Mustache Coffee since they opened several years back- the same owners and new partners have now opened this fresh unique coffee-pastries-wine shop right on West street across from The Graduate hotel. It's cutesy and minimal which I like- I tried the GF Orange muffin which was so moist and delicious. Black coffee was smooth and tasty and brought Everything savory muffin/twist for my hubby- he loved it. Joel and Colleen (the owners) were behind the countermand provided a cheerful and safe service. Check them out, you won't be disappointed. read more

Not the best experience here. Their biggest shortfall is service. Did not have any decaf, then ordered a flat white (way over priced...almost $6!) After we paid, they started asking us how to make it. When it was too strong, we asked for a bit more milk, and the cashier began shaking her head and accused us of trying to get a 'latte' at the price of a 'flat white.' A very petty gesture to accuse paying customers of lying when they could have expressed enthusiasm in ensuring their patrons have the best experience possible. Needlessly pretentious and bad business sense. Truly unpleasant experience. Not customer friendly. There are so many options for great coffee in Annapolis. Recommend trying them over this place. read more

The old lady at the counter needs hospitality training. They make good stuff but this is hospitality business. If you have a frown on your face and don't provide a good service you are going to be not in business for long. We ordered a few things - out from the start there was a frown on the face, did not even ask us if our order was to go or eat in - gave everything in a paper bag, asked us to collect our drink. Every other table in the restaurant was being served. When we asked "did you assume we were not eating in?" Pat came the answer "in some cases we do!". I guess it's the color of our skin that said we should not be eating in. :-). Either it was that or our two kids were not welcome - not sure what it was. Good luck staying in business if you antagonize tourists. Horrible place - will never visit again. read more

I had no idea this was a coffee shop during the day, because I've only been there at night when it serves wine and cheese. The cheese plates are terrific; although, they could use a little more meat (and some pickles would be awesome). Those kind of thoughts occur to you only after you've been enjoying yourself for a while and wonder what's missing from the cheese boards you're used to getting in other restaurants. It doesn't matter, because these are such charming plates. There are great touches like honeycomb on one board and a red pepper paste to offset hummus on another. Everything is really well balanced, cleanly presented, and quickly served. The wines on offer aren't going to blow your mind, but they are going to be very drinkable especially with friends. I've been there twice, and both times it was hopping. I would've gone a third time with friends, but it was closed...The hours are kind of confusing. Also, I need to check it out during the day when it turns into a coffee shop, because on one trip, I had a really great cappuccino while we shared some of their great desserts. read more

Came here for some coffee one morning a few weeks ago when I was in town with the bf and a friend. It looked like it had recently opened, and since it was so close to where we were staying, we figured we might as well check it out. I decided to get one of their single origin drips as well as a savory scone, and I got my bf an iced butterscotch latte, while my friend got a sweet baked good and a cold brew. My drip coffee was very, very good, and the savory scone was delicious. The bf and my friend also enjoyed their respective choices as well. It looks like they have a rotating list of beans that they brew with, so I imagine their offerings change fairly frequently. I had a great first impression here and would recommend this to anybody who is jonesing for a good cup of coffee in the area. read more

Was looking for good coffee nearby and saw Curate which just so happened to be across the street from the Graduate, where I was staying. I love the idea of a coffee and wine shop and if I had had the time I would have definitely sat inside or visited them at night, alas I only got takeout coffee. The menu is minimal but that is not what you're limited to. I had to get the barista's help in ordering, despite the fact I could not hear him - at all (sorry ). Yes they do have iced drinks even though it's not on their menu. I got an iced latte with oat milk. Sweetener was not needed and it was very good, the $1 surcharge for oat milk was a little astonishing as I've never been charged that much extra for it. He also helped me pick out a lighter roast drip coffee. And I also walked out with a blueberry scone which was really good and would have been nice heated but I wasn't asked. The other desserts looked good as well. It's relatively small inside but I could see that this would be a good spot for coffee, or wine, to just hang at for a bit or catch up with friends or colleagues. read more

The crust tasted like cardboard: dry, crunchy with no snap or chew, and completely flavorless. The pepperoni tasted like nothing. There was barely any sauce, and both pies were flat and bland from edge to center. I have never left a restaurant without finishing my meal, and tonight I didn't even try. The potato pancake appetizer was no better. It had a sour aftertaste that made us push it aside after a bite or two. I genuinely don't understand the hype.

The feta chunks neither added nor detracted from the dish. A dollop of mascarpone or ricotta would have given it an even richer, meltier finish. Heck even a whipped feta would've added more depth. The blend of meats was outstanding with a pleasant kick of spice, while the mellow, flavorful marinara had a thinner consistency that made it perfect for crostini dipping. Lobster RavioliThe sauce was unquestionably the star of the show. The pasta tasted homemade with a wonderful texture. Unfortunately, the lobster seemed either overcooked or not at its freshest, as it had a noticeable fishy flavor and a chewy texture. The fresh lump crab, however, made for an excellent garnish and added a bright, sweet contrast. Smoked Pineapple Rum Old FashionedThe pineapple-infused rum came through nicely, giving the cocktail great flavor. The smoke, however, was much more subtle than I expected. I knew it had been smoked because the bartender presented it with a plastic smoking device over the glass. I was anticipating the more dramatic wood-smoke presentation under a glass dome that I'm accustomed to. It was also missing the classic Luxardo or maraschino cherry garnish, and without any garnish at all, it felt like it was missing that final finishing touch. OverallWhile it didn't quite reach Feed My Soul status, everything was genuinely good. An added bonus is that it's within walking distance of Maryland Hall, making it a perfect stop before or after a show. ServiceFriendly staff and impressively fast service. The food arrived much quicker than expected.

Menu focuses on both Chesapeake and west coast oysters. They also have a variety of salads, seafood and libations. We ordered a dozen oysters (4 different Chesapeake ones, 3 of each). They came with a vinaigrette and a spicy cocktail sauce. Server explained each one to us. They were fresh, clean tasting and delicious! We also got the smoked whitefish dip. It was creamy and smoky, topped with caviar and came with flatbread style sesame crackers. It was light and savory. My companion ordered the tuna sashimi special. It had melt in your mouth toro marinated in yuzu and sesame sauce. It was topped with seaweed and came with a side of kimchi aioli. It was definitely the star dish. Will need to come back to try other seafood dishes and drinks.

Whitefish Dip was fine but way too much mayo than the fish. Bread & Butter was disappointing. It shouldn't be something they charge. The bread probably was from supermarket and it wasn't chive butter but green onion. OG Caesar was basically wedge salad with heavy pesto oil, overall oily and salty. Lomi Lomi Salmon... Not good. Hamachi probably was the best thing. Happy hour drinks was the best thing.

Best seat in the house.

There were a few students working on laptops and reading, so it felt like a good spot to hang out for a bit. I was a little disappointed they didn't have cold brew, which is usually my go-to. The service was quick and the barista recommended an americano since they didn't have a cold brew. But wanted to just try something new. Ended up getting the lavender latte instead, and it was actually really good.

Great shop with rotating coffees from different roasters. Baked goods all made in house. Lunches served on house made breads. There is also a wine program on Friday and Saturday nights with fun wines, solid boards (crackers, crisps, breads all made in house) and decadent desserts prepared by their pastry chef. Definitely worth checking out! read more

I feel like this place is a sleeper that most do not know about. Sitting in the corner of a business complex. It is large, bright and friendly inside. All the workers were nice. Lots of drink options and some food as well. I got a cup of coffee and they gave me the house blend which had a very strong dark roast flavor. I'll ask for a mild option next time. This tasted more like a Starbucks roast if you like that. (I don't) They have this big shelf of like 40 different coffee beans that I think you can choose from to enjoy in store or take home. Nice selection, but I wish they listed the roast dates. They also have a dozen+ teas to choose from. Breakfast sandwich on bagel was very good BUT it would be nice if they offered bagels from a local bakery.... like Naval bagels.
