Bacon, egg and cheese breakfast sandwich with a cocktail
Eric D.

Great breakfast sandwich and nice outdoor seating to enjoy the weather. Recommended neighborhood spot with friendly service.

Cheese and Potato
Olivia S.

Recently visited Dooby's for breakfast on a trip to Baltimore after it was recommended as a great brunch spot! On a weekday, I was surprised to find the place practically empty at 10 am. You order at the counter, and they bring your food to you when it's ready. The service at the counter was not great. I didn't feel very welcome, but the food came out quickly at least. The vibes inside were super cute, and the breakfast menu is an eclectic collection of Korean fusion dishes. I got the cheese and potato burrito with a side of kimchi potato salad. The burrito was delicious and generously packed with ingredients. I also loved the kimchi potato salad, even though it was kind of a weird breakfast side choice. I would definitely love to come back and try more of their breakfast offerings!

Stopped by for a coffee & quick breakfast after a girls who walk Baltimore event! Sandwiches were good & the spiced latte was okay! Service could have been a bit friendlier ... but it was a decent cafe! I wouldn't go out of my way to come here.

Challah French Toast and Banh Mi
Ana B.

At one point during the pandemic, I was ordering their pies and cookies way too much. I haven't been a Dooby's in a really long time. Because it's owned by Korean restauranteur, Phil Han, the menu has a lot of Korean fusion items. My friend and I went for brunch recently, and I was actually really disappointed that I didn't get a brunch item. I decided to get a bahnmi, and it just was not very good. The Matcha was also overly milky. I didn't even taste the Matcha at all, and the pork belly on the bahnmi was not rendered correctly. The staff is super kind and helpful but the food just wasn't very good. My favorite was probably the kimchi potato salad because who doesn't love a potato salad? It is a large area and I was shocked to see so many people working here on a Saturday so I do love that this place exist exists. I'm very disappointed because I used to love Dooby's and will definitely be coming back to give it another try. I also feel like the vibes have shifted. I feel like it used to feel more unique but now it just kind of feels like a general coffee shop with nothing unique.

Spicy garlic chicken bowl
Diandra L.

Upon my recent visit to Baltimore, Dooby's was walking distance from my hotel so I found myself here for both breakfast and lunch during my stay. For my first visit, I opted for one of their bowls. I love that you can customize it with your base, proteins and sauces. I opted for a blend of greens and brown rice with the spicy garlic chicken. It was packed with veggies and flavor and I loved it. The next day I popped in for coffee and a homestyle breakfast. Also solid. I enjoyed visiting Dooby's and I think its a great spot to grab a bite and pop open your laptop (on the counter seats).

Chai Latte
Megan C.

A great option for working, coffee, and breakfast in the Mt. Vernon neighborhood. I was staying nearby at Hotel Ulysses and posted up at Dooby's for two hours to get some work done. The staff here is super friendly and the order at the counter take a number vibe really suited my needs. My almond milk chai was serviceable and I felt the pepper jam on the bacon egg and cheese was a little heavy handed, but overall I enjoyed everything. Fast wifi and working is only allowed in the front part of the cafe, which I think is great. Would recommend!

Banh Mi
Sarah S.

This was a nice stop on the way home from Artscape. Parking can be difficult, but if you look far enough you should be able to find something. The cafe is cute and counter service only, but they bring your food to you when it's ready. Although there was a long line at the counter, it went very quickly and the food was brought out very quickly. I ordered a banh mi with spicy garlic chicken with a side of hash and a s'mores cookie. While the chicken was very juicy and all the makings of a good banh mi were there, the ratios were a little off. The meat flavor was overwhelming (get your money's worth I guess?) and I wish there were more pickled vegetables. All in all it was pretty good and certainly filling. The potatoes were cooked perfectly and were really yummy. The s'mores cookie was thin and chewy. I would come back and try the banh mi again, perhaps with tofu next time.

Steak, Egg & Cheese Sandwich
Melinda S.

Dooby's was close to our hotel so we stopped in for breakfast. It's a nice open space with a good amount of seating. I saw several people there working or studying so seems a good spot for that. You can order at the counter. The staff were all nice. We chose to share a steak, egg, and cheese sandwich. You can choose how you'd like your egg cooked so we of course opted for a nice runny egg! The sandwich was large and very tasty. I noticed they also serve ramen, buildable rice bowls, and sandwiches in addition to their breakfast options. They also had some yummy looking sweets in a case. Overall, we both liked the food and ambience here and I will return!

Pumpkin Spice Latte and Spicy Korean Street Style Noodles
Simriya S.

I think this was the best pumpkin spice latte I've had in a LONG time. So smooth and delicious. The korean noodle bowl was amazing, and the pork belly was made to perfection! Everything came at a timely manner and the staff was super friendly. The place is super cozy and cute as well.

Saumya M.

I love the coffee here but from time to time I'll get the matcha latte which is delicious! The servers are always very friendly and the orders come out quickly. There is indoor and outdoor seating, and you'll always find folks chatting, working, or just generally hanging around inside I haven't yet tried the full good menu but it's on my list to try.

Caramel Apple Chai Blueberry Peach Crumb Bar
Sebastian P.

Great spot for a quick bite and warm beverage on a cold Sunday morning in Baltimore. Looks like they have a variety of other really good menu items available as well. Have only tried breakfast. Service is super quick and the space has a great vibe. The peach and blueberry crumb cake is a 10/10.

Matchamisu
Michelle B.

- I walked here so not sure how parking is in the area but there's a ton of space to sit down w/ friends or study - matcha latte 3/5 I got this at the 1st sweetness level (I'm told there are 3 levels available). It did taste like matcha but I think it could have been stronger. Overall not the best or worst I've had in Baltimore. - matchamisu 4.5/5 This is a matcha tiramisu where the coffee that is traditionally in a tiramisu is substituted w/ matcha. It was very filled with matcha and tastes sweet. I gave it 4.5 instead of 5 because it can get to be too sweet after a few bites but I just saved it in my fridge for later. Definitely recommend this.

We ordered the Neighborhood Bird, Fried Shrimp, and Fried Broccoli, and everything was absolutely amazing, as usual! The Neighborhood Bird was delicious--the bun was perfectly steamed and fluffy, while the chicken was so well seasoned, crispy on the outside, and tender and juicy on the inside. The fried shrimp were huge (seriously, about four bites each!), with a light, crispy batter and fresh herbs on top. And the fried broccoli is always a favorite of mine. It's incredibly flavorful and perfectly crispy. A special shoutout to Jesus, the manager, who was incredibly sweet and made my mom's birthday lunch even more special by treating us to peach yuzu juice. It was so refreshing and paired perfectly with our meal. We really appreciated the thoughtful gesture and wonderful hospitality. We had such a great lunch and a memorable birthday celebration. The food, service, and overall experience were fantastic. Ekiben will always be one of those places I'll happily return to again and again!

Another go-to, the tempura broccoli, was fried in a very-light crispy batter, and flavored with a light house-made vinegar sauce. Our go-to spicy tofu BRAH "bowl" lit us up with soft-centered baked tofu cubes in a medium-spicy sauce with the flavors of fresh herbs, garlic, and shallots, over a bed of tender long-grain white jasmine rice and with a pretty mango/papaya shredded-carrot slaw. The long rippled-noodles were tender, smothered in a spicy savory brown sauce that also pushed the envelope of my admittedly somewhat wimpy heat tolerance :-j We got the huge lightly-battered crispy flavorful shrimp, over white rice, garnished with sliced pickled red onions and pickled cucumber circles over tender fluffy jasmine rice. We are always happy with the staff at this Ekiben location, with hot flavorful generous on-time take-out. (Aug 2026).

We stopped by Doppio Pasticceria Sicilian Bakery for lunch with our two Grand-Loves (ages 6 and…read more10). It is a cozy, smaller spot, but the team moves really efficiently. We opted to sit inside instead of the patio because a rogue bee decided to bother the girls, LOL! The pizzas are made completely fresh to order. We got a Pepperoni Pizza for the girls and the Meat Lover's Pizza for my Wife(My BFF) and me (we swapped out the prosciutto and added onions). The girls absolutely loved theirs and knocked down 3 to 4 slices each! The crust had great crispness and held up firmly without getting soggy. The pepperoni and sausage brought tremendous flavor, though I preferred the Meat Lover's because the sausage and onions created that extra layer of savory depth. The crust edge was just a tiny bit darker than we normally prefer, but that was minuscule compared to the overall quality. Big thumbs up all around for both the food and the friendly service. Before leaving, we had to grab some treats from the bakery side to go: Cannoli: My Wife (My BFF) ordered this (fried shell filled fresh to order with sheep's milk ricotta, cinnamon, chocolate chips, candied orange, and pistachio). Classic and delicious. Bomboloni: An incredible fried yeasted doughnut filled with honey saffron pastry cream. The dough itself was so soft, pillowy, and fresh. The honey saffron filling is unique, light, and not overly sweet, my Wife (My BFF) wasn't as keen on that specific flavor profile, but I loved it. Cornetto: Essentially a giant, lightly sweetened laminated brioche croissant. Flaky, buttery, and light. We could easily eat these pastries on a regular basis. We're thrilled to have found another go-to pizza and bakery spot whenever the craving hits!

We got 2 pastries and 2 coffee drinks. I got a lemon spritz espresso soda thing which actually was delicious! My husband got plain iced coffee which was also good. What I didn't appreciate was my drink being served in a soggy, soaking wet/condensing cup. They use paper to go cups. They need to figure that out, it was pretty rough to hold - collapsing and soggy, not a great experience. Our pastries were just okay - got the fig/creme filled big puff and a spinach ricotta pastry. Both were fine, a bit dry, and I've had similar/better things from Tous Le Jous, cafe dear Leon, and even ovenbird. These seemed maybe not so fresh. They do charge a 15% gratuity for all orders so we paid about $4 extra for a soggy cup and only okay pastries. Ultimately we just didn't love the experience and the cost. I'd come back to try the pizza and sandwiches but I will have low expectations.
