We really enjoyed our breakfast sandwiches at Dooby's! The steak, egg & cheese was delicious, as was the bacon, egg & cheese. I loved the sweet, slightly spicy pepper jelly. The chocolate chip banana loaf was outstanding - it was still warm when they served it to us. The lattes were tasty - I tried the seasonal maple browned butter caramel. The only item that our party thought was so-so was the chorizo burrito - but the potatoes it came with were perfectly salted and crispy. Overall, would happily repeat a breakfast sandwich, latte and pastry here. read more

We've had numerous good meals at Dooby's - their breakfast is consistently really well made and everything is fresh. The coffee program is one of the best in the area, especially for their espresso drinks. Dumplings are consistent and delicious, and there are lots of vegetarian options. read more

When you first walk in, you're not quite sure what to do. A sign would have been helpful. You order first, they give you a number, you find your own table and seat yourself, then they bring you your food. Service was pretty quick and friendly. Place is a little small. You have to bus your own table. Interesting food combinations, but I've had better. Overall seasoning was too sweet to my liking. Our family ordered 4 of their rice bowls. Haven't tried their pastries or sandwiches. read more

We ordered a to-go order on site for breakfast. The breakfast sandwiches were massive and worth the price. I really enjoyed mine and our friends did too. The staff was very nice and made our order a priority. My iced latte hit the spot too! Dooby's will have a special place in my heart because it was where we first discussed our baby's name while waiting for our food. read more

I ordered the sausage and egg breakfast sandwich. The Brioche roll was pleasantly soft, fluffy, and chewy. The egg and sausage were fairly unmemorable. This is a predictable egg+sausage+cheese sandwich. Won't disappoint, but also won't blow you away. read more

We picked up Dooby's for breakfast this morning and WOW. While Dooby's offers a bunch of awesomely flavored lattes: Miso Caramel, Chai, Banana Caramel, Gingerbread, Rosemary Thyme; can I just fan girl over the vanilla lavender latte for a second!??? The coffee itself shone through with balanced acidity, a strong lavender aroma, and a clean smooth finish. I'm already craving another cup. For breakfast, I chose the avocado toast which was generously served on perfectly toasted sourdough bread drizzled with premium olive oil and sprinkled with red pepper flakes for a little bit of a kick. So yummy. My boyfriend got the bacon, egg, and cheese breakfast sandwich. Although the eggs were a bit overcooked, the white cheddar and pepper jelly really brought all the flavors together. It was delicious!! While I can only really speak to their breakfast offerings, this Korean-inspired cafe offers wonderfully unique and delicious looking dishes lunch and dinner as well! Truly a neighborhood gem in Mount Vernon. read more

I ordered a bowl with half brown rice, half greens and brisket. The portions were huge--enough for two meals. I tried two sauces on the side based on the cashier's recommendation: Spicy G and Ghost Chili. The Spicy G was spicy and slightly sour but unbalanced to me. The Ghost Chili was thicker, more chili-forward and had a lingering heat, which I preferred. The brisket was flavorful but some parts were really tough. The pickled veggies added a nice textural contrast but overall I wish the bowl were more flavorful given all of its component. I also had a delightfully tart and refreshing iced hibiscus tea as well as a Fruity Pebbles cookie. The cookie was quite crunchy and slightly sweet with a very subtle Fruity Pebble flavor and caramelized bits reminiscent of a sugar cookie. I ate on the outdoor picnic tables, which was enjoyable on a crisp sunny day. read more

Dooby's is currently open for take out only or outdoor dining. They require you to order via their website. I saw this place on Yelp and wanted to try it out for brunch. To drink, I had an Iced Latte ($4.50 for a 12 oz.) with Maple-Browned Butter Caramel, a seasonal flavor for an extra $1, which was worth it. To eat, I had one of their popular items, the Brown Rice & Chopped Super Greens Bowl ($11), with Spicy-Garlic Chicken (extra $2), Spicy Sesame sauce, & Ghost Chili. I have to say, despite all the spicy additions, the bowl was not spicy at all (but to be fair, I do have a higher than average spicy tolerance). I did not like the texture of brown rice. I'm not sure if it was undercooked or old? For me, the beets were chopped too big. I would enjoy it more if it was chopped up into smaller cubes or even thin slices so I can have it with a little bit of the other veggies, rather than just a mouthful of one large beet cube. I also had the Korean BBQ cheesesteak ($13.50), which was more on the heavier end. It lacked some acidity to offset the greasiness. There wasn't enough in the sandwich to differentiate it from other cheesesteaks. I am unsure if the meat in the sub was supposed to be bulgogi, but if it was, it was lacking the sweet caramelization typically associated with bulgogi. If not, the use of bulgogi would be more true to the Korean-inspired flavor. The Cheesesteak came with a free side. I had the kimchi potato salad, which was a downer. The potato salad itself was bland, so the addition of the kimchi, which was incredibly subtle, did not have much of an effect to better the dish. It may be that the potato salad mutes the acidity and spiciness of the kimchi, requiring the addition of more kimchi to have an actual prominent, distinct flavor. Dooby's has good coffee, however, in the dishes I had, the Asian flavors were muted. Overall, for the price, there are other Asian fusion places that better deliver than Dooby's. read more

I've been to Dooby's about half a dozen times now. I really like the staff and the layout of the shop. It's not quiet enough to have a meeting, but that's because it has a fun, bustling energy. When it's warm enough, you can sit outside at their tables if you need to take a meeting or call (though these benches are open almost year-round). Very decent coffee. My favorite thing is the (bacon) egg & cheese sandwich with a spicy jelly that takes it over the top. Definitely worth a visit and has become a personal staple when I visit Baltimore. read more

I ordered Dooby's on Grubhub for a late Sunday breakfast. I couldn't believe when my food came to my door steaming hot, as if I was eating it right inside of the restaurant. I am not sure if the kudos go to the restaurant for properly packaging the food or the driver for delivering my order in record speed, either way, I was a happy girl! The food at Dooby's is amazing! The burrito was fat and filled to the brim! There wasn't excessive bread, just tons of egg and chorizo. The breakfast potatoes were also equally amazing, I snuck a few from my son, which really made me wish I had my own order! The most surprising and maybe the most enjoyable part of my meal was the kimchi potato salad! My Gawd! The flavors were so tasty and unique! I will definitely be returning to Dooby's to enjoy their outdoor seating and try something from their lunch menu. read more

The service here is lovely. The host(ess) was amazing and they were very polite. The place is very clean and organized plus the music is pretty chill too. But the food! So good! Most of the options are asian fusion. The portions are generous, and nothing was overcooked, underseasoned or unflavored. Absoluely excellent. I am definitely coming back and soon. read more

I've been to Dooby's a few times at this point, and while the food is delicious, the staff is very unwelcoming. I had an extremely unpleasant interaction with one of the servers today and will not be returning. There are plenty of coffee shops in Mt Vernon where they don't treat you like a burden the moment you walk in the door. read more

This place is pretty solid, in a scenic city area and nice seating area both inside and outside. The staff is great and the food didn't take long to get out, and the drinks were almost immediate! Overall I would say the food is a solid 4/5. I got the Brown Rice & Chopped Super Greens Bowl with the Korean BBQ Steak and Sweet Soy Ginger sauce. It was good, I should've mixed it together when I got it but made the mistake of not doing so. I think I'll try something else when I go next though. read more

The reason Dooby's is my go-to are the options. They have a range of light breakfast options up to a full homestyle breakfast (HSB). The HSB while big isn't excessive. I find it to be the right size as an occasional treat on my long run days. Their potatoes are always perfect! Over easy eggs executed skillfully. Bacon is crispy with the slightest chew and not be burnt. Sausage patty has a nice seasoning with a nice well done outside with a juicy inside. read more

Came here on a sleepy midweek afternoon looking for pick me up coffee and a place to do some work. Glad I stumbled in at Dooby's. Casual cafe style eatery with Asian fusion flavors and American favorites, this is a good spot to sit and do some work or catch up with friends. Atmosphere: casual, bench seating with stools and tables in a upper level. Outdoor patio along the streets available. No parking I could see. Plenty of metered parking outside. Food: sandwiches, bowls, coffees, other caffeinated drinks and juices. I got the Korean beef bowl and it was delicious. Bowls are customizable and you can choose base, protein, sauce and add on any extras. We didn't try it this time, but they also have deserts and it look delicious. Service: mostly self service. order at counter and get number for servers to bring your order. Likelihood of returning: 9/10. If only closer to my house, I would be a regular here to eat and do work! read more

Dooby's is my go to breakfast when I'm in the city. Their steak egg and cheese is legendary and has just the right amount of spice in the sauce. Honorable mention, the sausage egg and cheese. Not sure where they buy the sausage from or if they make it in house but it was so good Bae ordered one of each just for himself. Inside the cafe is cozy and inviting while maximizing space. I always opt for the high top chairs as I'm usually enjoying my coffee while waiting for carry out. There are windows seats and average night tables as well. I often see people studying or reading a paper in the back section as well. I can't say enough about how friendly and energetic the staff is. I usually come on a Sunday morning and each time everyone is very...awake lol. I notice because I usually am not and they brighten me right up. Don't leave here without trying whatever specialty latte syrup they have that day. They are divine. I will be back to try the rest of the menu at some point but for now breakfast has me in a chokehold. Thank me later. read more

Love this spot for coffee and unique baked goods, great rice bowls for dinner. We came for a late morning coffee break on a Monday. The place was pretty hopping indoors and out. The only reason I'm giving a 4 is the music. It was loud, dramatic, opera music that was super stressful. We got a latte, iced Americano, strawberry & creme scone, lavender & goat cheese scone. I appreciate the combo of flavors. We chilled out on the comfy seating and would have stayed longer but the music kept being ...a lot. read more

Exceeded all expectations! Dooby's can look modest from the outside yet you will be so happy you went in. The welcome from the people behind the counter was so nice. The menu is interesting and the food itself is really special--spicy, fresh, exciting, wonderful quality. The seating is spread out and very comfortable and take out is well packaged. I like this place a lot! read more

I can't speak for Dooby's food, nor beverages, but what I can say is they have THEEE MOST PHENOMENAL cookie I've had in my life. It's the fruity pebbles cookie and it's fantastic. Heartily recommend! I had that cookie at an event in Harbor East in 2018 and was able to track it to Dooby's the following year. Since then I've gone to Dooby's a bunch of times and have thoroughly enjoyed that cookie. One day I may try other things there, not sure when. Until then, I'll be back for the cookie, the cool environment, and good service. read more

I want to eat local, I really do, but this place tries my patience. Dooby's positions itself as a Korean fusion cafe, equally showing off their breakfast, lunch, and coffee inside an unassuming, yet modern decorated room, boasting a full house even in the dead heat of mid-August. I went for lunch, which is a decision I question in retrospect. Surely, though, it wouldn't be that easy to mess up a rice bowl, would it? My food was brought to the table with not even a passing word. Sure, fine; I don't care how rude or quiet you are as long as you don't insult me or spit in my food, but this isn't the place where they'll offer you water, much less check on you, and they even ask that you bus your own table. I can expect that out of IKEA, where the prices are lower because of that, but I paid $14.50 for my build-a-bowl. More offensively, it wasn't great. The ghost chili sauce is an overly salty, overly reduced, pulpy affair that brings to mind mole sauce, if mole had none of its chocolate notes. It's also not as spicy as the name sounds. Don't get me wrong: The quality of the ingredients is top-notch, with fresh foods feeling fresh and pickled foods being funky, but by making the vegetables swim in this pool of sauce, you've thrown the whole balance off. Less is more sometimes. On that note, while the pork belly was fried to a golden crisp, this may be the first time I'll complain about receiving too much of something. It's like why you don't want to eat more than 4 ounces of wagyu at a time. Remarkably dissatisfied with my experience, I wanted to give Dooby's one more shot, so I ordered a strawberry and cream scone to take with me. I couldn't stop myself from taking a bite before getting a picture, and while I was taking the picture, I wanted more. That scone changed my idea of scones. I have never seen one so fluffy and crumbly in the mouth, almost cake-like while still holding firm, and with a rich strawberry cream inside every bite, too. It had enough sugar to make all of England revolt, but you'll not find me asking what I care of the English's opinion. If, and I do mean if you go to Dooby's, stick with the pastries. I'm told the coffee's good, too, but I don't drink the stuff. read more

Covid review** YUMMY. Cute. Good service. Covid safe. Affordable. Def insta worthy. Doobys is really good! We ordered online for pick up and we're planning to eat at the park nearby, but there is plenty of seating outside of the restaurant! There's no indoor seating. You can also order once you get there. Tbh everything looked good. They also have baked goods displayed where you pick up! Food is really good. Their coffee was eh tho :( I got the Korean BBQ Cheesesteak Sandwich and it's HUGE. You can definitely split and share the sandwich with someone. It also comes with a side. I got the kimchi potato salad and it was interesting. Would definitely get again. Look at my pic for the cheese pull and all the meat you get!!!! Super good and super worth!! My friend got one of the bowls and it was also big af. She finished half and saved the rest for dinner. I got the cold brew and it was super light. Wouldn't get again (at least with their plain sugar syrup). Their other flavor add ins sound really yummy tho. Overall great! Would definitely come again bc Their breakfast menu looks really good too. Def recommend the cheesesteak!!! read more

This is such a cute little spot with plenty of outdoor seating. I have never really been on the inside because I started going during Covid and in that situation you could order from the outside and they would bring the order to you at the door. I actually love the wings which are Korean style wings more than the coffee. My sister loves the coffee though, which tastes like a darker roast to me. Their prices are very good for the quality of the food and service that you receive. You can also order ahead and pick up your items on site. I like that it's low touch, easy to order, fresh food and hot coffee in the heart on Mt. Vernon. read more

I went there for a quick bite an hour before closing on a Tuesday. It was quiet and pretty empty but the overall vibe and atmosphere was very nice and intimate. They had so many great menu items but I decided on the pork buns. I was VERY happy with my choice. It was the perfect portion, each bite was delicious. I'll definitely be going back for the pork bun and to try other items. I'd give it 5 stars but I ordered a green tea that was scalding hot and tasted like the plastic from coffee cup lid. It was difficult to drink to say the least but I just won't order that next time around. read more

I was a visiting tourist in Baltimore, and Dooby's came up as a recommended spot. Since my time was limited and Dooby's was a bit out of my way en route between airport and hotel, I decided to order to go. Placed my order an hour before estimated arrival, and the process was very straightforward and smooth online. When I arrived, I was greeted warmly and amazed by the efficiency of the people at the counter. The place was very spacious and it was a Sunday morning packed with customers, but I was given ample priority so that I can hop in and hop out with my order quickly. The folks at Dooby's were very considerate and the drinks are made when you arrive so it keeps flavor and is guaranteed fresh. I ordered the matcha latte and the tumeric ginger latte, and they even did latte art for me then put on the to go caps. It was definitely a nice and memorable touch of excellent customer service. Aside from the drinks, I also ordered their spicy Korean street style noodles and a matcha white chocolate cookie, both were great, but I definitely would have enjoyed the noodles much more if I ate in store. Sadly it sogged by the time I sat down to enjoy it it in the hotel. Overall, I would definitely revisit if I'm back in the city and recommend it to others! read more

Dooby's - Korean BBQ Cheesesteak Sandwich with Side Kimchi Potato Salad** - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Baltimore, Maryland

Full disclosure: went to lunch with my 2 year old daughter and a friend. ‍Tofu mushroom dumplings My daughter reached for the dumplings first. She then dipped it into the ssamjang sauce. I thought it was going to be too spicy but she was cool. I'm not the biggest tofu person but the dumplings we're good. Ill call that a tie/ I'll take it. ‍Pork buns The pork belly was tender. The steam bun I feel was a little "doughy" but still tasty. I would have preferred a bit more textual contrast. I call this one a tie. K-fried chicken I was in the mood for their chicken and it hit the spot. My only complaint is I wanted more. I'll take that. ‍Side of brown rice My daughter normally eats jasmine rice. But wanted to make sure I ordered had something neutral with some nutrients for her. SHe ate most of the rice, I only wish she didn't drop two forks and about three table spoons of rice on the ground outside while eating it. ... I'll take it...sorry for the mess Ultimately: give dooby's a try. They've been a mt Vernon stable for several years and are providing some solid services for the city... and belly. P..s when they had the kimchi ketchup I was in love. #kimchiketchup read more

It didn't start well and ended even worse. We were sitting in the upstairs dining room and I placed our order which totaled 36. and returned to our table. My lunch companion picked up her iced tea when she got the key required to use the restroom and we sat and we waited. And waited. Then I heard my name being called which I found odd, but I go to the counter and they hand me our lunch order packed in a to go bag. I responded that we had been seated in the upstairs dining room and I didn't understand what implied it was to go when I never said it was to go. They looked at me. I proceed to ask if our food could be put on actual plates and they took the bag and I stood there for 7 minutes when the person came out with our food on a tray, asked where we were seated and I once again indicated we seated in the upstairs dining room and literally had to lead the way to our table. Then came the food and the real disappointment began. I ordered bacon extra crispy and I was asked if I was fine with there only being three strips and I said yes. They didn't have the gruyere and caramelized onion scones - again - so I got some dumpling type things filled with what had been tofu, oyster mushrooms and other stuff was a mealy mess that didn't stick together and the sauce tasted like bottled hoisin. The bacon which was specifically ordered extra crispy came out chewy and undercooked and my friend's noodle bowl ended up being underwhelming, too. I've had disappointing experiences here before, but this one will keep me away for good. A waste of money and a staff that obviously doesn't care. read more

Very good matcha, albeit small. I have enjoyed their ramen in the past, but it is not mind-blowing to my recollection. The location is beautiful and the atmosphere is relaxed. I like the station to get your own water and the glasses are nice (so often with the DIY water stations the glasses look/smell unclean). The scone flavors are imaginative and delicious. Baristas are polite and accommodating of particular requests. read more

Dooby's has been on the list for some time and finally got here. Friday around 5 and it was quiet with a couple of tables occupied. Asian fusion serving breakfast items all day also & focus on lunch/earlier dinner given they close at 8. (Except Sun.-3 pm) Breakfast items looked good for next time as it was dinner time. We ordered the Spicy Korean Street Noodles. Liked the light straight noodles with a few veggies & Dumplings. I was expecting spicier but it was spicy enough for others who tried the dish. We got it with Pork Belly which was thick and cubed vs flat and took this broth-less noodle dish over the top! As lovers of Cheesesteaks we had to try Dooby's take. The Korean BBQ version was excellent. Marinated meat (soy maybe) with provolone (traditional) & spicy Gochujang made for a "I'm ordering that next time" sandwich! Their Banh Mi with Pork Belly was also excellent! Pickled veggies, Kimchi cucumbers and jalapeños with their soft sub roll-can't go wrong here! A suggestion would be to have more protein options and include egg add option (Egg and Banh Mi go together like PbJ)-didn't see it online but maybe they would accommodate for phone order? For sides, the Kimchi potato salad was a revelation and must try! The Hash/diced potatoes were very good & a nice alternative to fries. I saw Scones when I picked up our order & looks like they sell out of some of the popular items early. Service was friendly and our online order was ready as promised. Looking forward to returning and trying breakfast. Should have made it over here sooner! read more

Hipster coffee shop meets Korean noodle joint! I can't believe this combination actually works, but it totally does. I got the spicy Korean noodles and they were amazing. It was full of broccoli, noodles, and your choice of meat, I got pork belly, and my friend got bulgogi. We both enjoyed the bulgogi more. There were also these little bubble like blobs in the mix, they reminded me of boba tea gummies, a very good and unique addition. I got a gingerbread latte as well, and the coffee was delicious. There is seating in the front on high tables and low tables in the back in a little room full of beautiful photos. I am excited to go back and try their breakfast.

It was only okay for me. A solid 3 stars. This was my first visit. While apartment hunting in the area, I past Dooby's and decided to stop in. I did not know you had to order online, ahead of time, especially to avoid waiting. So when I go there and walked in the person behind the counter had to explain the ordering process. When I say explain I mean .. just tell me to order online. I went outside, ordered my green tea latte online and per the instructions, "your order will be ready in 20 minutes". 20 mins later I walk back inside and inquire on my latte. The guy behind the counter said, what's your name? Okay, I'll make you order now. Again ... just a Green Tea Latte with a 20 minute wait time. Because of the Yelp photos I was expecting a decorative, really cool latte. Nada! It was served in a to - go coffee cup. Overall, only okay to me! read more

Dooby's has become a Baltimore staple. And all for a great reason. I really, really love this space. It's the perfect place for a coffee meet up or to sit at the counter for a while to get some work done. The food is good. The Korean coffeeshop concept is something that Baltimore needs and deserves. If you're having more than just coffee and plan on dining here, the breakfast sandwiches are all amazing and the pork buns are also pretty darn good. I was not too impressed with the ramen or dumplings however, likely because I was hoping for something more traditional and Dooby's is in all it's glory a fusion cafe. Enjoy the spot in Mount Vernon or catch them at the Sunday Farmers' Market! read more
