Dooby's! How have I not written a review for this neighborhood gem! If you love coffee or tea, this is definitely worth a visit. I love the variety of drinks here. I try something new every time, and it's absolutely worth it! Pro-Tip: Their cheesesteak is off the chain! read more

I ordered delivery via GrubHub on 08/07/2023. I got the Sausage, Egg, and Cheese breakfast sandwich; and the Bacon, Egg, and Cheese breakfast sandwich. I got both exactly as they come (the SEC has mustard on it; the BEG had a jelly). These sandwiches were amazing. First off, don't let the extra ingredients turn you off. They elevate the sandwich a lot. Secondly, these sandwiches were pretty big as far as breakfast sandwiches go, and will keep you full. You only need one. The Sausage was so juicy and good, and the mustard (which I thought I would hate) went amazingly well. The egg was just the right doneness, and the brioche bun was good. The Bacon was also good (I liked the sausage more), and the BEC was way messier due to the jelly. The egg actually exploded out the side on this one too, so be careful when you eat these. Both sandwiches were phenomenal and the delivery was extremely quick. 5 stars. Will definitely order again. read more

Consistent and decent quality! Average price is about $14 a person. Nothing is absolutely incredible, but pretty much everything is solid

My friend and I had just visited the George Peabody Library and were really hungry. Dooby's was within a 5 minute walk and super busy once we made it in. One of the servers advised me that we could sit anywhere we wanted to. We could choose from sitting at the bar, high-top tables in the middle of the cafe or sit-down area further back in the cafe. No matter where you sit, everyone has to order and pay at the register prior to receiving their drinks/ meals. My friend and I shared the Pork Belly Eggs Benedict and the Pork Buns. My pork belly eggs benedict were pretty good, but I've had way better. I ordered them because of the scallion hollandaise sauce, which ended up tasting weird. The pork buns unfortunately, weren't as good as expected. The pork slices were way too fatty to have a real taste, but the Gochujang aioli sauce was quite tasty. The staff was friendly but not too attentive. They were super busy, but in that case management should have more people working the floor so the service doesn't have to suffer. I can see myself giving it another try whenever back in the area. read more

As a Baltimore newbie, all I ever heard was Dooby's, so of course I had to check it out! My science experiment is complete and the results are in: it did in fact live up to the hype! Parking was a bit tough, but thankfully my oh-so-patient friend was kind enough to wait as I tried to find a spot a few streets over. Dooby's requires you to order online and then pick up at the counter once you receive the email that it's ready. I personally really enjoy this system: easy, efficient, contactless, and thorough enough to allow for modifications. I came to Dooby's at the beginning of October when the weather was warmer, and sat outside for lunch. It was not crowded and there were not very many people around. The staff follows social distancing protocols and they all wear masks! Alright my fellow vegans, tofu-lovers, plant-based people: this place has many options! The only thing that threw me about this menu was the offerings, which were rather eclectic and not specific to a particular cuisine, but Dooby's does it well! I ordered my #1 favorite: a large oat milk latte (not pictured), which was incredibly smooth. I highly recommend! The waiter forgot a few times so I had to go back up to the counter to ask about it. For actual lunch, I customized a brown rice bowl with tofu. This baked tofu was to die for (in fact, my eyes are widening as I look at this picture). The order was packaged well and the combination of protein, sauce, and grains in this bowl was excellent! The portions are large and definitely worth the price! Now that I know what Dooby's is about, I'm sure I'll be ordering again soon! read more

Dooby's has my heart. It's an east-meets-west combo coffee shop and restaurant, with both Korean-inspired and Western cuisine. Where else can you get a hot fresh bowl of Korean noodles AND a lavender goat cheese scone? Their entrees are delicious, and they always have a tantalizing selection of unique baked goods too. Their coffee and drinks are lovely as well. The service is friendly, the location is great, and Dooby's was always a fun place to dine in and hang out before the pandemic. I saw lots of people studying there too, if you're looking for future study spots. Hopefully we can get back to that life soon, but in the meantime let's all keep ordering carry-out and supporting this awesome business! read more

Food (mushroom / tofu dumplings and chicken bao) weren't great and they charged me twice.

It was a rainy and cold fall day in September. Not fair for this time of year, but so it goes. We were seeking a place that was interesting and efficient. My brother called them to see if they had seating or if we needed a reservation. They Indicated our party of five should be easily accommodated. The reviews and the menu sounded promising and so we gave it a whirl. Let me tell you, we were not disappointed! The highlight was the pork belly sandwich. That was a solid meal --in addition to the pork belly, it was laced with interesting and spicy garnishes, including fresh jalapeños! Love it love it love it. I ordered the Chesapeake dumplings, which were good, but I did not realize it was a small bite :-) Fortunately, someone in our party had trouble finishing their pork belly sandwich. I eagerly obliged to help with that problem. The person who ordered avocado toast, was not so much a fan of spicy things, so they were disappointed to see it sprinkled with red chili flakes. A word to the wise, you'll be happier here if your palate appreciates spicy food. They do have outdoor seating and even a view of downtown Baltimore! We enjoyed the outdoor seating despite the unseasonably cool weather.. read more

Pretty good breakfast options, mediocre coffee. The register staff can be stand off ish

Dooby's sits right next to the Washington Monument in the Mt. Vernon area of Baltimore. A very historic setting which is suitable since it set a very historic memory in my Baltimore food experience. The Korean BBQ Cheesesteak was outright delicious! Since I've never experienced this flavor profile before it may just be my favorite dish I've had all week in this wonderful city. The beef was tender, juicy and contained a nice balance of spice. The bread had a perfect crunchy outside and a soft inside which paired extremely well with all the melted cheese entirely surrounding the inside of the bread. A perfect fusion of the classic cheesesteak with the korean beef flavor. The Kimchi Potato Salad was also tasty. It didn't blow me away since it tasted like any potato salad but it had a slight hint of kimchi flavor. That simple addition was enough to make it very unique and more enjoyable than the norm. As for the bowls, I tried the korean beef bowl with brown rice which was very enjoyable as well. The chunks of beef was really tender and it was lightly seasoned to provide just enough of that korean flavor. However, if you had a choice to stuff yourself with the Korean Cheesesteak or the bowl, hands down go with the Cheesesteak! read more

Today is Yelp's #ThankfulThursday and I want to thank Dooby's (who, by the way, are re-opening for pick-up starting today). All the more reason to celebrate! Dooby's, without you, I wouldn't have anywhere to duck in when I have to fire off some rapid-cannot-wait-or-everything-will-explode emails. Without you, I wouldn't have a reason to NOT use my laptop, the cardinal rule for your table seating area. Without you, I wouldn't be able to enjoy a delicious Korean-inspired bowl while feeling like Alicia Keys in the "You Don't Know My Name" music video. Can't wait until I can return to my favorite table (yes, the one by the food window). Thx for the memories! read more

Dooby's is a great place to grab a quick and casual, yet still delicious, meal before a show at Baltimore Center Stage or at the Engineers Club. The bowls are customizable. They also have great coffee and cookies. Chill, queer-friendly atmosphere with many queer staff. read more

Dooby's - Brown Rice Bowl with tofu, avocado, and a fried egg - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Baltimore, Maryland

Dooby's is sooo good! It's our favorite place when we visit friends in Baltimore. Most of the photos are pre-Covid, and now they have outdoor seating after you pick up at their counter. Vegans and carnivore will find something they like! All their brunchy food is divine. We loved the bao, like the Pork Belly Eggs Benedict Bun and Tofu-mushroom Buns! The scones are also yummy and unique - the Goat Lavender Scone was nice and flavorful and the goat made it kind of softer than most scones. The Avocado Toast is creamy and has a light punch with some chili flakes! I also LOVE their Honey lavender latte - it was aromatic and sweet. Just right for a cozy day. You also can't go wrong with their chai latte or their hot chocolate (hint - ask for a lavender hot chocolate for the best experience!) Their service is always great! And they're definitely Covid safe - everyone wears masks! I've been here every time I'm in Baltimore - it's hands down the best brunch spot in the neighborhood! read more

Ordered the Korean BBQ Cheesesteak for delivery. The cheesesteak had cooled down a little by the time it arrived, but it was still warm. The bread was nice and buttered on the inside and the cheesesteak filling had a great fusion flavor to it. I think it would have tasted better if I had ordered it in person, but that's the price you pay to get the food delivered. Would order from here again. The green salad on the side was appreciated because it makes me feel better about eating a whole cheesesteak. Nothing special about the salad-- just some leaves and dressing. read more

I'm so glad we tried Dooby's! There were several options that sounded amazing on the menu, so it took quite a while for me to narrow down to getting the Spicy Korean Noodles with pork belly. The noodles were perfectly done and had a good flavor. I enjoyed the soft boiled egg, rice cakes and the veggies. The pork belly was too fatty for me, so when I get it again I'll likely go with tofu or no protein. The vibe in this place is great! The local artwork features diversity and is very creates a welcoming environment. The tables in the upper area are limited for laptop use to specific hours (to allow for more guests who are eating lunch / dinner to have access to the space). The hightop tables / bar areas seem to be open for people to do work from. There is a bar with draft beer (may be other options but I didn't pay close attention). They also seemed to have good brunch options, that I plan to check out soon! read more

Dooby's - Pork Buns and Korean BBQ Cheesesteak Sandwich - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Baltimore, Maryland

1-visit-review. I was in the area and stopped by for breakfast. Selected their mushroom omelette ($15?) which comes with potatoes and "kimchi ketchup". I think the place provides nice cafe vibes with plenty of young people coming in and out, borderline hipster, so the items on the menu were on the pricier side. Interestingly Dooby's seems to offer something along the lines of Asian-fusion food. I would say my one-time visit isn't an accurate assessment but I thought food was standard quality although the cheese layered on top of the omelette was toooo much for me! Would be a nice place to come chill or visit again with friends. read more

Dooby's - Mushroom (shiitake) & arugula omelette (very cheesyyy on top). Home fries are standard, "kimchi ketchup" = just ketchup + korean chili flake - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Baltimore, Maryland

Did someone say pork belly bao? Never heard of a pork belly bao Benedict, but it was delicious. I'm always up for trying something new and this didn't disappoint me. My only advice is to add a little more salt for the pork belly and order the potatoes fried hard. Otherwise a cute little place with a cool menu. My only wish is that we came a little later for lunch and could try other dishes. As soon as you walk in the decor is nice and modern and very cool. I never really come to Baltimore as I live in Washington DC, but places like these make me want to venture out a little more often. I like that the menu is different and not the norm. read more

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

Ok. Dooby's: to start we needed to find a place to grab lunch with our three kids that was within walking distance of Peabody Second, it needed to offer Gluten Free Food Third, it needed to be affordable....ehhh it was on the pricey side for a family of 5 but not outrageous. And ideally, fourth, it needed to be accommodating for a younger family....for a busy time it was interesting. It has a small cafeteria layout - high tops mainly for those working (on laptops) and seated tables for those there to eat and chat. We got there just after 12:30 on a Saturday and it was full but not overwhelming. It was apparent we would not all find a table together so we put the kids at one end of a hightop and I sat with my husband close by at a separate table. We ordered the kids French toast which looked amazing! They said it was yummy. It was definitely a plate two of them could have split. My husband and I got a pork belly bowl which was ok. The pork didn't necessarily smell off, it just smelled gamy. The coffee checked the box. They offer various coffee drinks and mixed drinks but we kept it simple with drip coffee (and free refills). The atmosphere is nice, not too loud when full, and while parts of it were dingy, it was clean enough for a quick bite. I'll be back with the family but it may be a bit. read more

Had a Tofu Banh Mi sandwich plus a salad off a catering platter from Dooby's a couple days ago and was mostly satisfied. The Sandwich was quite tasty and not too spicy. I'm not a big tofu eater but would choose this one again. The salad was a bit disappointing, the greens were good and fresh but I was quite turned off by the dressing. Not sure what it was but it tasted like cold medicine! Even though the salad dressing was not something I'd ever want to have again I'd still recommend Dooby's for catering. The platter was easily enough to feed 15-20 people and even though I only had the tofu sandwich everyone else seemed very satisfied with the other sandwich types. For $170 (I think?) that's a pretty good deal. read more

The stars are for the food not the service. For it being my first time here I had very high hopes as I watched an episode of burgers, brew & que. When we walked in the staff did not acknowledge us. The guy behind the register didn't help explain to us how everything worked even though we told him it was our first time. Also I found it strange that everything but getting the food and coffee was all self service (i.e. sugar,cream for coffee, napkins, water even Togo boxes and silver wear was only on request). With all that said I will leave it on a good note, the food was the highlight and everything was delectable. read more

The buns for the pork bun was super good/chewy and taste homemade instead of store-brought. However, the pork was very tough, barely chewable. It'll probably be better cooked in a pressure cooker like instant pot. The lavender goat cheese scone-- can't get the lavender or goat cheese flavor at all. Just taste like a plain scone with no flavor. Can pass on the Korean bbq cheesesteak as well. read more

Creative, fresh and delicious food! I got the tteokbokki and pork buns. Can't wait to go back.

Wonderful customer service! Top notch! My order had the wrong meat, and I was quickly granted a new order no fuss, no stress! Food is fresh and the taste very unique! I like the spicy Ramen broth, hold the jalapeños though! Fave delectable, however, is the lavender, gruyere cheese scone!!!!! Marvelous ! Try it!!! I always eat them before remembering to snap a pic of this tasty scone first! That's how good they are. I like 'em lightly warmed! The mocha latte was good too! Creamy and healthy-tasting! Yummm!!! read more

I love coming here for breakfast and a glass of wine after a long night shift at the hospital, for a to go latte on my way to run errands, or for a bite in the afternoon. The lattes and coffee are great, a rare find for Baltimore. I'm excited to try their other concepts, but it's hard to pass up a consistent and reliable standby! Went in the other day and had the burger for the first time and LORD why have I not had that delicious creation before? Easily one of the best burgers in town. I'm a fan! read more

Dooby's - Burger with beet and edamame salad. - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Baltimore, Maryland

Looking for a pet friendly lunch spot for my partner, pup and myself. Combining high quality cocktails, beautifully crafted coffee and Korean fusion cuisine. I ordered the Turkey Avocado Club which came with country ham, applewood bacon, scallion aioli on sourdough bread. My partner ordered the Brown Rice & Greens including roasted sweet potato, pickled vegetables, roasted cauliflower, stir-fry broccoli-carrot mix and sweet corn with Korean bbq steak. Each of these options were a pleasure to look at and to eat. Delightful Baltimore weather allowed for enjoyable outdoor seating, but when we went into the cafe after busing our tables (The team there apparently does that, but I've always been a consolidator and self busser) I did get to see the charm of the interior. Next time I come by I'll be sure to be pup free to better explore in the interior. read more

Dooby's - I started devouring before I took the photo. Very tasty! - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Baltimore, Maryland

If I could give Dooby's 10 stars I would. After seeing a re-run of Burgers Brew & Que last week, my husband and I made a bee line to Dooby's to experience it ourselves. BOY we were not disappointed. The hubs and I decided (since we really wanted to try 1 of everything) to each get a starter and each get a sandwich.....that we would then each share half of. Starter #1: Pan-Fried Chesapeake Dumplings I don't think I've ever met a dumpling I didn't like. As far as I'm concerned, all of the other dumplings I've had have been trash......these are by far THE BEST dumplings that have ever touched these lips. Perfectly fried. Perfectly seasoned. The crab/shrimp/scallop filling? OH MY GOD!! The "spicy-g aioli" that topped each dumpling was amazing. I could bathe in that sauce. MUST GET!! Starter #2: Pork Buns Now, I've been wanting to find a place that serves pork belly near where I live (in Clarksville). Little did I know that I should've brought my butt to Baltimore to experience how it's supposed to be. All I am going to say is.....GET THESE PORK BUNS ASAP!!! If I go too into detail, I will probably cry because I don't have an order in front of me. Sandwich #1: Dooby's Burger I will now be requesting kimchi on ANY burger I order....no matter where I am. The burger had the same spicy-g aioli on it like the dumplings and the combo of the sauce, the kimchi and the oh so melty white cheddar YUM YUM YUM YUM!!! The bun was perfectly toasted and the burger itself was cooked as requested (medium). Sandwich #2: Korean BBQ Cheesesteak Whatever you may think this sandwich is going to taste like.....you're dead wrong!! You cannot possibly envision what flavors you're going to encounter when you take that first bite. You just can't. You can literally taste each and every element of this sandwich and it will make you speechless. From the bread, to the scallion aioli, to the bite of the caramelized onions and provolone cheese (and my favorite spicy-g sauce)......it was unlike any cheesesteak you will ever have. I don't even need to talk about the meat. It was seasoned, marinated and cooked with nothing but pure love. Each sandwich comes with a choice of 1 of their 4 sides. I chose the Super Greens Salad and the hubby got the Kimchi Potato Salad. The Super Greens Salad was good, but nothing that made me go WOW. That Kimchi Potato Salad on the other hand......HOT DAMN!!! I have 3 words to close out this review..........GO TO DOOBY'S!!! read more

Ok I have been sleeping in this place for too long - the spicy noodles with tofu were absolutely amazing . Delicious flavor, crispy tofu, and plenty of food for the price (enough for two dinners for me). Just beware they they are actually really spicy - I have a decent spice tolerance and really enjoyed them but wouldn't have been able to handle any spicier. The inside of the restaurant is nice and clean, and the staff were all nice. Just know that you have to order at the counter, and the line to order can be long. But the food was really quick to come out! Outdoor dining is available, and street parking is available nearby. I'll definitely be coming back soon! read more

Dooby's - Spicy Korean Street Style Noodles with tofu - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Baltimore, Maryland

I had lunch and dinner at Dooby's. For lunch, I tried the pork belly eggs benedict. I enjoyed just about everything except the pork belly. I thought it was too chewy and thick. The eggs were nicely poached and went well with the scallion hollandaise sauce. For dinner, I tried the Korean miso pork ramyun. Unfortunately I didn't realize that it had pork belly in it, which I already didn't like due how difficult it is to eat. I didn't particularly like the kimchi flavor combined with the broth. I thought the kimchi flavor was just too over-powering. The ramen noodles and the soft-boiled egg were perfect, though. If you love pork belly, though, this is the place to be. read more

I ordered the hot matcha latte and the spicy egg and cheese breakfast sandwich. I was not too impressed with the matcha latte, it tasted kind of bland. The spicy egg and cheese breakfast sandwich was messy to eat and a great vegetarian option, however, I was not too impressed with that either. I see great Yelp reviews of this place, so I would not mind coming back to try their other menu items. Maybe I just ordered the wrong thing when I visited! My friend had a dog with her, which is not allowed inside the cafe, but the atmosphere looks amazing to study and do work here! If I'm ever back in Mt.

The great thing about Dooby's is that it can be anything you want it to be - the perfect study spot, a date night spot, a bar, a ramen shop, a brunch spot, or place to catch up with friends over a nice piping hot cup of coffee...or beer...or pork buns...or pie..or eggs Benedict, you name it, they got it. I've come here multiple times to study while chowing down on some food and have also come to hang out with friends/catch up after a hectic week. The ambiance is so versatile depending on what time you come and the food never disappoints. I've tried the pork buns which are the most flavorful that I've had in the city so far, the pastries (which are very fresh and unique in flavor - s/o to the goat cheese that they add into their scones), and their eggs Benedict for breakfast. All were delicious and have a korean twist into them whether it's adding kimchi or gochujang into it - very unique flavors. I however would recommend staying away from the ramen (the broth was super bland and consequently the noodles were tasteless and rubbery - I think you'd be better off making your own instant shin ramen at home for $2 then spend $13 on ramen here). My qualm with this place is the price: not sure why pork buns cost $7 and why ramen is $13... I don't think the portion sizes justify the high price point for a fast dining / cafe setting like this and definitely feel the hole in my wallet starting to form. It's unfortunate because I do love everything about this place - from the korean fusion food items, to the unique dessert selection, to the great seating options, and versatile layout/lighting/mood of the place. Just wish it was more affordable since there are a lot of cheaper options in the mount Vernon area. Overall this is a very cute place to hang out or study with generous table space and lighting. Also, try to come before peak lunch/dinner hours because it can get uncomfortably crowded - trust when I say it's gonna be impossible to find a seat (I try to avoid coming around noon and 6pm at all times!!) as the place is deceivingly small! read more
