For the last few years, I've been saying Baltimore's coffee scene is nonexistent. And then I found this brand new place. Good coffee, good concept, lovely environment, very community-oriented, and clean. Nothing wrong with that. I will recommend this place to all of my fellow coffee lovers. read more

Neat asian fusion coffeehouse/restaurant. Most if the meat is pork belly (lots of fat) but a good vibe overall. Love their cold brew! read more

Dooby's - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Baltimore, Maryland

Food is great Space is great Service is great The only thing I was not a fan of was the tables are very close together... Other than strangers all in my plate, two thumbs up. I will go back again. read more

For those who love coffee this is a great place - their lattes are particularly excellent. Although they take a very long time to make their coffee (doing one at a time, so if you've ordered too your first one is getting cold while they're making the second). I've also been here for brunch and dinner. The brunch was ok, I personally think there are better places in Baltimore. They don't have very much seating on actual tables (unless you like sitting on bar stools - they have lots of those). As far as their dinner menu it's quite diverse - they have an Asian theme which is a little confusing as it doesn't really go with the place. They also don't have table service - you order at the counter and they call out your name when you're drinks or food is ready, which can be impossible to hear if you sitting in the back. Overall they have a pretty good atmosphere. read more

Establishment is great, friendly staff, but a bit over price. $22 for eggs, bacon, and toast? The quality is good but now I know what not to order. read more

I love the ambiance here - Dooby's is so versatile and gets it right (the food, drink, AND everything you look for in a casual but chic cafe). It's has the ambiance of Artifact that's just too inconveniently located, the larger space that Tribeca doesn't offer, and quaint friendly atmosphere that Lamill definitely needs to work on (rude). After three visits, I think I like everything about this place except their espresso (Counter Culture sucks, though MANY would quickly challenge me) and the fact that they always run out of the popular dishes - I get that they do everything fresh and that they're always packed, but after a few months of being really popular, I think they could plan to have fresh ingredients better stocked on weekends. Enough hating (that doesn't even warrant deducting any stars), now onto all the good stuff. I normally am very unimpressed by dishes that incorporate Asian flavors, but it works here. AMBIANCE: The front "dining" area is very open - it's more conducive to "alone" work/reading. the rear dining area has normal seating, but from noon to 3pm, they have a no laptop policy, so think about that if you want come just to do work. I do like the idea so the people doing work aren't too disturbed by the conversation going on. Apparently, the main "dining room" turns into a full-service dinner area at 5pm. I totally forget if they play music - if they do, it's not very noticeable. FOOD: Their food is delicious, especially the cafe-casual Asian fusion sandwiches - my favorites are the steak and egg breakfast sandwich that's made with quality thinly sliced beef and the lunch menu's steak and egg. The lunch sandwiches come with a side of fresh greens. All the ingredients are really fresh, so they do run out of the popular dishes. I haven't tried the baked goods, but they all look delicious as well. COFFEE: The regular brew coffee is sooooo so good. I've only tried one pourover, which was okay. But why pay twice as much for just "okay" pourover when you can pay half and get amazing regular brew with refills? Though I should try the other pourovers (forget which one I tried) before I make a final decision. I'm not a huge fan of Counter Culture espresso that seems to be a Baltimore cafe staple (Artifact serves it too). It's a very unique strangely not so smooth "caramelly" taste - I've yet to understand how the seemingly burnt taste of Counter Culture can be described as caramel-like and have a cult following. BOOZE: They have a lot of really good domestic craft beers on tap - Dooby's really gets the diverse selection of flavors right. I've never had alcohol here, but they offer some of my favorite IPAs, a fairly wide selection of wines, and some underrated liquors and cocktail menu with all the staples. I've never heard of anyone saying they come to Dooby's as an evening destination, but since they got everything else right, I guess I'll give it a shot. I've heard good things about the dinner menu - plan on checking out the weekly ramen night and pork belly donburi offerings. read more

amazing choice! Great coffee amazing lil snacks. And the staff is so charming. Even gave us a steak and egg sand which on the house !! Love it. Will definitely be back!! read more

This was a great dinner experience. The pork buns are so tasty -you must try them. The tuna and the beef dinner we ordered we both very tasty. I can't say which I liked more because they both were delightful. The owner is very kind and attentive to his customers. He made small talk and made sure we were pleased with our meal. I recommend going here for a wonderful meal and friendly staff. read more

I went to Dooby's after a long day at Artscape and it was my first time at the restaurant! At 8pm on a Saturday and no reservation we were seated in under five minutes. I loved the atmosphere and vibe of the restaurant. We started with drinks, I had the watermelon punch and it was delicious! Strong, but the watermelon juice was super refreshing. I started with the Korean Chili Edamame which was spicy but soooo good! The appetizer was the perfect size for four of us to nibble on while waiting for our meals. For my entree I chose the BBQ Galbi Kimchi Fried Rice. I had never had anything like it and was pleasantly surprised! I don't typically like anything that's even a little bit spicy but the kick in this meal enhanced the flavor. Loved this dining experience! read more

I love that Dooby's has a dynamic and diverse menu. A lot of their menu offerings are very tantalizing. Today I ordered the jepchae (?) sweet potato noodles with pork meatballs and a generous serving of vegetables (brocolli, kale and delicious mushrooms). I loved loved this dish. I highly recommend the 'make your own bowl.' I know I'll be getting more bowls and switching up the proteins and carbs. Next on my 'to try' list are the sticky buns which are served only on Sundays. read more

It's been a good while since I've gotten something from Dooby's, so it didn't seem fair to give it a review, but this past weekend while I was at the Farmer's Market, low and behold, there was a Dooby's stand. There was a KBBQ braised beef (or was it pork...) breakfast sandwich on the menu, which was calling my name. My boyfriend, easily distracted and more interested in following the crowd almost convinced me not to get it, but that would have been such an awful shame because the sandwich was phenomenal. The cheese and egg on top made the sandwich all the more worth it. Side note: haven't tried coffee here in a while, but based off of memory, it's pretty good and the cafe itself is a really cute spot to grab coffee. read more

Great little cafe, kind of a local knowledge place. Staff was super friendly and the food was amazing

I met up with a group of friends here for dinner, as one of the locals recommended it. A coffee shop that serves American food, as well as ramen and Asian fusion bowls?? Hmm, hesitant for obvious reasons... I was thoroughly impressed! I ordered the "build your own bowl" with brown rice, Korean BBQ, and sweet soy ginger sauce. Delicious! Great portion size for the price as well. They also happened to have the Breckenridge Vanilla Porter... one of my fav beers. Had to have it. Will be back! read more

Italian sandwich is Amazing!!!!!!!! But latte and mint tea is not that good, all too watery for me read more

Dooby's is kind of overrated. There are some things I love. Like the pie. It is amazing. Hands down the best thing you can order there. But I found the ramen bowls upsetting and under salted. The coffee is good, but not the best coffee I have ever had. I recommend this place if you want to stop in, grab coffee and a treat, and chat with a friend. Eating here is not the best. read more

Great place to cool down for an hour or two. Hung out here while waiting for my wife to finish up some work down the road. There was plenty of comfortable seating, the people at the cash register were super nice, and the servers were quick to deliver my wings when I ordered them. Both the iced tea I ordered and the wings I ordered later were delicious. I saw some amazing looking breakfast sandwiches i plan on trying next time I'm in Baltimore. read more

Great little spot that turns out we've enjoyed, from a cup of Chai to full-on breakfast, with finesse. We love stopping in to see what this Mt. Vernon gem is offering up in way of fresh baked goods . Never has disappointed. The seating area is varied and the charming street view is a slice. We'll be back! read more

Not sure what all the hype is about. Was visiting Baltimore and stopped in for lunch after seeing the Washington Monument, just up the street. Feels like one's local Starbucks, with 50% of the customers set up on their laptops, and just the overall vibe similar. We both had a pork belly dish, and neither of us were impressed. We both prefer a crispier/more well done pork belly, and there's was more warmed, and therefore the high fat content was not pleasant. Staff was nice and friendly however. read more

I come here often and I absolutely love studying here! The aesthetic of the restaurant is so cute, all the food is delicious, and the service is amazing! I would highly recommend this place if you're looking for a Korean fusion restaurant that's reasonably priced! Oh and their green tea ice cream in the summer is HEAVENLY. read more

First day in the new space and all is well! The food is still great and the coffee too! Good amount of space to camp out or just hangout with friends. Happy you're finally here! read more

Dooby's - Coffee! - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Baltimore, Maryland

Four and a half, really. I dock it half a star, because I reserve the right to be a snob. Espresso drinks vary with the skill behind the counter and, so far, it shimmies a little. Sometimes, it's great. Sometimes, I get the soy finish and it makes me sad. (Some rude cell phone use, because people don't know have to behave in cafes.) The food though is STELLAR. Best quality bread really kicks their sandwiches up. Chewy, toothsome and obviously sourced nearby. Then, they have awesome and creative fills like bulgogi cheesesteak (what?), pork belly banh mi (shut the front door!) in addition to the usual suspects (rare roast beef with honest to goodness horseradish mayo and arugula). I had the caramelized onion with gruyere scone and it made me happy like no sweet scone could. Their browned butter and salt chocolate cookie is, in a word, ridiculous. (Boyfriend, again, didn't like it because his taste buds are locked in some weird 5-year old's body). The place just opened and it's already popular. Hard to find a seat. Seating is mostly rows and rows of benches for computer use. No cozy corners at all really. Come at off-times and come hungry. read more

Get the coffee pour over. Some of the beans they use are a bit full for espresso. Its worth the extra! Also... kimchee short rib fried rice! Just let that sink in! It is still in its infancy, and they know it. Strong, simple menu. This is a spot Mount Vernonites will flock to once they get hip to it. I had their breakfast sandwich consisting of a fresh-baked roll, fresh eggs, good cheese, a wonderful fresh sausage, and field greens. Happy hour 4-7p, $1 off wine and beer (which is diverse, local and reasonably priced). I definitely will return! Thanks to Trish and Ben for fantastic service! read more

Quick review: came here at random, no research (woah, there, i know, living on the edge) Really good cappuccino, really good food, good atmosphere, nice, understanding waitstaff! example: My cappuccino was a little cooler than how I like to drink mine (I know they are meant to be drunk fast, but still) so I requested them to microwave it, but they immediately threw it out and made me a fresh one. read more

Started with a Miso Caramel Latte which was rather tasty. I also ordered the Smoked turkey club with avocado. The bread was fresh and made on site. The turkey had a super smokey flavor and not dry at all. The tomato, lettuce and avocado were all very fresh and flavorful. A great sandwich. My counterpart ordered the coconut pancakes with pineapple maple syrup. This dish came with 3 cakes, plenty of butter and syrup topped with fresh blueberries. Awesome dish. Great atmosphere, friendly employees, reasonably priced, awesome neighborhood. Great overall experience. read more

Visiting Baltimore from NYC I wanted to find places that reminded me of Brooklyn. I loved the decor which is a huge deciding factor if I eat/drink somewhere. The ambiance is amazing, I loved my latte and my egg sandwich. I ordered an iced coffee(cold brew) that I wasn't crazy about but I think it's the brewing process as "cold press" is so trendy right now! If I move to Baltimore, I'll definitely be back more often. read more

We love Doobys! They have it all! Delicious rice bowls! Amazing and friendly staff! And cool cocktails!

Went here for their last Tuesday ramen night. wasn't impressed by it--noodles seemed like they were from a DIY ramen kit, broth was alright (original is pork, also a pescatarian option, but the pork is better). not worth the $12 imo. Went there again to try their normal lunch menu. we split the Korean cheesesteak and pork belly banh mi. the cheesesteak had good quality beef but was lacking in kimchi. the banh mi was an interesting take on the traditional type, with a sweet base and plenty of pork belly. could have benefitted from more radish. the bread in both sandwiches was just right--crunchy on the outside. the small side salad that came with the sandwiches was a nice touch but sorta meh. would maybe come here one more time to try their dinner menu--the kimchi short rib fried rice. read more

I was really excited about going to this place. So many great yelp reviews, and I was craving ramen! Unfortunately, it just didn't live up to my expectations. The downsides: my shoyu ramen was so incredibly salty, it was difficult to eat. I was hungry and didn't want to wait to have it re-made, so I made do, but I ended up leaving most of the liquid because it was just too salty. The upsides: prompt, friendly service. My husband decided to do dessert for dinner and got the Damn Good Pie, and reports that it was, in fact, damn good (I didn't try it). The noodles in my ramen were quite good, once I got past the salt. I'm likely to give this place another shot because I really want to like it! I guess we'll see. read more

Coffee shop with flair- the inside is so cute with cool hanging lights and relaxed atmosphere. The food is actually awesome... All of their pastries are made that morning and the actual food is not your standard coffee shop grub! The pork belly bahn mi was a flavor explosion, must go here! read more

Hubby and I stopped at Dooby's to grab a quick breakfast on a Sunday morning and we were SO glad we did! I literally had one of the best (and prettiest!) vanilla lattes of my life (and I've had a lot of lattes! lol) and was super happy that they offered a GF cookie that was delish. Hubby (not a coffee drinker) almost was drooling over their bacon "muffin"- he was a happy boy to say the least. The set up/ambiance is very nice- spacious, clean, modern and happy. The customer service was great and we were a little bummed we weren't able to come back for dinner but the next time we are in Baltimore, we will definitely be stopping at Dooby's again! read more

Have been looking forward to trying this place for a while now with all the hype on social media.. I should have listened to the reviews bc the ramyun was not very authentic- the broth had a good amount of heat but not much flavor. Great pork belly though! And the bao was very tasty. I might come back for other things on the menu :) Maybe the miso broth is better but I wouldn't waste your money on the ramyun if you're used to the real deal. read more

This is my go to place in Mt. Vernon when I want to get some work done or just unwind. I've never been disappointed with anything I've ordered. Ramen is excellent. Coffee is also one if the best cups I've had in recent history. If you have a sweet tooth, definitely get the "Damn Good Pie". You won't forget it. read more

This place has a fantastic mix of options available, but I always get the salad bowl, which is beautiful and one of my two favorite salads in Baltimore. Their cocktails are lovely as are their pastries. Service is always friendly and quick. I've had better coffee though :-/ read more

Doobys is delicious at the restaurant. It's a can't miss. Doobys at ANY food festival is going to blow your mind. At the Baltimore seafood festival, the shrimp & bacon buns were by far the most scrumptious thing we ate. We tried almost everything from lots of great Baltimore restaurants. But DOOBYS!!! We both happily decided on seconds. We probably would have had 3 or 4 orders of it if we hadn't filled up on other food. To summarize: Go visit Doobys and eat there...and if you ever see a Dooby's stand at any event, go to it and satiate yourself immediately!! read more

Food was very good! I got a regular omelet with a dollop of avocado on top, a welcomed surprise. The seasoning was just right with a bit of pork belly inside. It included a small (the reason for only 4 stars) serving of hash, which were soooo good! The ambiance is nice, with a fair amount of room even during the busy hour. The coffee is good too, a bonus! read more

Dooby's - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Baltimore, Maryland

This place has quickly become one of Mount Vernon's "go to" spots. I really enjoy it in the morning when it's a coffee shop. The coffee is "just okay," but they have good teas and the atmosphere is aesthetically pleasing (ie unique layout, modern with exposed brick, good semi-hip music). The clientele is typically in their 20-30's. The people who work there are nice. The only food I've sampled is the goat cheese cheesecake and it was amazing. read more

Coffee and espresso tastes burnt--obviously way over-roasted, perhaps even more than Starbucks. Plenty of better coffee options within blocks. read more

Everything looked better than it actually tasted. The wings seemed to hold so much potential when they were brought out, but unfortunately did not live up to the appearance. If you dislike ginger at all, don't order it, because that was all I could taste. The ramen was very mediocre. Even TenTen Ramen, despite being loaded with sodium, does it better. read more
