    A friend recommended this place and I'm so glad we tried it! It has a relaxed atmosphere with most patrons on laptops or quietly chatting. We brought books and read while sipping on our coffees which were delicious. We got the quiche to share and boy I wish we got our own individuals it was so yummy. It tasted freshly made and had so much flavor! We also got a yogurt parfait and that was better than I expected! It was sweet and crunchy and delicious! I can't wait to come back

    Vanilla Oat Milk Latte!
    Tava B.

    Ventured over here after an afternoon of self-care with my love. Was greeted and welcomed by the owner who introduced himself and made some yummy suggestions that we were both happy with. Small vanilla oat milk latte for me with a peach almond scone and an iced red eye for my boo thang with a slice of coffee cake. My scone was delicious! The almond and peach scone was giving a peach cobbler vibes and we really enjoyed this. It wasn't too sweet. The coffee cake was delicious also. It was moist and buttery. We will be back. We opted to sit outside and enjoy this beautiful afternoon weather we have today and on Wednesdays they offer FREE wine tastings! Now thats right up my alley. The owner shared that once a month they may have a chef come in who will curate a tasting menu/wine pairings and I cannot wait to learn more about these events! Check this place out! If you're a coffee/tea lover, or even enjoys a glass wine...I'm sure you'll find something you like here. Happy Yelping!

    I stopped by Curate last week in the last hour before they closed, since I had some work I wanted to get done before I drove back to Baltimore. Curate is open until 6:00 Monday through Saturday and until 5:00 on Sundays, which is great for those of that do like late afternoon or early evening coffees! But Curate isn't just a coffee shop, either. Curate is a cafe and bakery but also a wine and bottle shop. It's not large, but it's not the tiniest, either! Definitely great seating for studying or working. When I arrived around 5:00 on a weekday, almost every table was still taken up by someone enjoying a coffee or pastry and getting some work or studying done! Good seating, good lighting, lots of outlets for charging. I had a cappuccino (very good) and a scone (also very good), but they offer the full range of things you would expect from a coffee shop and bakery. Overall, a place I'm sure I'll return to get a coffee sometime soon!

    I see the appeal when you enter into this cozy, clean, small place. It's loud but not too loud, locals love this place. The coffee selection is minimal but the options are good and the incidents that go in the coffee and the pastries are mostly homemade. Overall the service was friendly, and helpful, that is much appreciated. We ordered a varsity of pastries and weren't I. Love with any but the sea salt brownie. The scone was okay everything else was...not that grata honestly. I think I would go back during the am hours to try the pastries fresh. As of today I wasn't impressed. The good about this is that the prices were right so not overpriced. They deserve another opportunity but I'll go somewhere else first before I'm back.

    Caprese scone

    Cute café in Annapolis. I got the caprese scone which lived up to its name and was quite delicious! They also have several great tea, coffee (Ceremony!), and wine options available.

    Matcha Latte
    Young K.

    There is a parking garage a block away from the cafe. The place is petite and cute, and the matcha latte was very good. I'm giving this place a lower rate because of the service. The barista was kind of rude and was also rude to the co-worker as well. It wasn't the most lovely vibe.

    This peppermint bark latte is so delectable . The breakfast sandwich is life changing. Come here to enjoy!

    Almond Joy Latte
    Smitha M.

    This was a nice coffee shop located in Annapolis. This is a great spot to have a cup of coffee to catch up with a friend or to get some remote work done. The latte was excellent. Service was OK, it was not clear where the coffee would be available for pickup and the day I visited it was not very busy, so it felt awkward to not have have a clear interaction with the barista that the coffee was ready. I also did not like the presence of many fruit flies over the pastries and bread, it was a turn off from wanting to purchase food. Street parking and parking garage available close by the coffee shop. The restroom was clean and organized.

    Best gluten free vegan muffin (pina colada's)
    Marilou Y.

    What a charming little gem for a weekend coffee adventure--and surprisingly affordable too! We got two specialty coffees and two pastries for under $20. Total win. I've been trying to eat more gluten-free for health reasons, but I usually don't enjoy the texture or taste. That said, their gluten-free, vegan piña colada muffin blew me away--so fluffy and packed with pineapple flavor! The staff was incredibly friendly, the space was clean and cozy, and it's just a short drive from the heart of Annapolis. After our visit, we strolled around downtown and made a full morning of it. Totally worth the 30-minute drive--I'll be back for sure!

    Great pastry selection! Friendly staff! Coffee ok - love the outdoor patio seating - might need to go back for more

    Quiche
    Grace R.

    A nice little cafe within walking distance from our hotel. What I loved about this cafe is that most of their baked goods came with sweet and savory options - like their cinnamon roll had a sweet onion roll. And their quiche was so good - so creamy and fluffy. I'm pretty sure they added some kind of chevere or goat cheese bc it had a slight tang. But one of the fluffiest quiches I've ever had. Service was prompt, but they don't call out your name when your order is ready, which I found peculiar. Definitely worth writing home about!

    Wild berry muffin
    Sheila C.

    Me & the girls were visiting the Annapolis area and stumbled upon Curate. So glad we did. We tried a little bit of everything here's how it went: My friends would rate the honey latte with cinnamon on top a strong 9/10 Frothy & decadent. I had the iced caramel latte. When I say it's the best I've ever had (top 2 at the least) I mean it. Just the right amount of sweetness. Even the ice complemented it nicely Easy 10/10. I had the grilled cheese with tomato and bacon. Cheese to bread ratio was perfect. Not too much but plentiful at the same time. Only thing I'd change was a tad bit more toast on the bread. But the cheese paired nicely. It was served with a choice of fruit or salad. I opted for the salad which was a mildly peppery arugula with fresh blue berries (the combination I didn't know I needed) drizzled just enough with a light dressing. 8.5/10 Bacon egg and cheese sandwich served on a roll. Pretty straightforward eggs were fluffy with crunchy bacon. You can't go wrong. I'd say sold 8/10 Was most excited for the quiche...it was good. Fluffy airy egg center. Crust toasted nicely but, it didn't stand out as much as everything else. Not bad by any means but probably wouldn't order again. 6/10 Soup of the day was curry sweet potato with lentil. I was pleasantly surprised by how good this was. It wasn't spicy but had the right amount of kick. Very flavorful & I kept going back for more. Big bowl too. 9/10 Best for last.... I wouldn't have choose it myself but man, that wild berry muffin was my favorite part. I had half of my friends. The berries were so fresh and were consistent all the way through. It was delicious 11/10 for sure. If you get a chance, definitely give this place a try. with some many options there's something for everyone. The employees were very polite as well. Looking forward to coming back to the area just for this place.

It turned out to be the highlight, sitting at the "Chef's Counter" by the pizza station on the covered porch. (We are foodies, and always appreciate an opportunity to sit at a chef's table.) It was a fun spot with a great view of the action and personal interaction with two very hard working pizza chefs. We shared the beet salad, which was a nice start, followed by the skirt steak, the fungi pizza, and grilled asparagus. Everything was flavorful and well prepared. We also enjoyed a very nice Tempranillo with dinner. Our server, Stephanie, was excellent--friendly, attentive, and a pleasure to have taking care of us. Overall, a very enjoyable meal in a great setting. We'd be happy to return.

To be fair, the service was excellent. Our server was attentive and friendly, and that's the only reason this isn't one star. We ordered the barbecue chicken pizza and the pepperoni pizza, and they were easily the worst pizzas I've ever had. 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 staff deserve a kitchen that matches their effort, but based on this visit I can't recommend the food, and I won't be back for pizza.

I wish I had taken pictures of the food. It was all good, including the Bloody Mary and the cold brew. Deducted a star for the waiter's attitude, not having more specific egg dishes, avocado toast (I was so craving it), or espresso drinks. Overall, we loved it, and we all look forward to going back, especially knowing what to expect-and what not to.

The bar was loud and lively around happy hour, while the patio was much quieter and gave us a more relaxed place to enjoy dinner. I wasn't very familiar with the Italian wines, so I asked our waiter for a recommendation. He brought me a sample before I ordered a full glass, which was a thoughtful touch. His recommendation was excellent. My partner ordered the Pineapple Tiki Old Fashioned and she loved it. The filet mignon sliders were delicious. My Black Linguine Arrabbiata had a little spicy kick and was very good, with calamari, clams, mussels, crab meat, and spicy marinara. The one disappointment was the tiramisu, which neither of us cared for. Our waiter was helpful and attentive throughout the meal without making us feel rushed. Between the food, thoughtful service, and comfortable outdoor seating, we had a very enjoyable evening. The lively interior is a good option if you want more energy, but the patio was perfect for a quieter meal in the beautiful weather. We'd happily return, but we'd probably choose a different dessert next time.

The olive-oil-soaked…read morecrostini was the perfect complement--crusty on the outside, soft on the inside, and ideal for soaking up every bit of sauce. 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.
