Never before did I think a Starbucks could be such an inspirational and life changing experience…read moreuntil I visited this beautiful location in Easton. The shear quality of their staff was that of a gourmet restaurant, not that of a chain coffee shop. The drink I ordered from this location was not just on par with that of other Starbucks I have visited but far surpassed those menial stores I had previously visited. If you are looking for good coffee and good people I would definitely recommend!

My kids want to make this a weekly tradition!

Our last meal before we leave the Annapolis area after spending four days from Texas. I found this…read morequaint little breakfast lunch place and once again Yelp had great comments so we had to try it. It's situated in a small strip center, in a quaint little town. It has a very warm feeling when you walk in and just about 10 tables that smell smells great from cooking in their coffee bar. The service is pretty good and they're all real friendly. We started with a latte and a cup of coffee and they're very reasonably priced and tasted great. I had the eggs Benedict and added a side of scrapple. I grew up in the north, but I've been away for 40 years and haven't had it since I was a kid. My wife ordered the three stack of pancakes. Let me caution you their big pancakes and she only ate one. My eggs Benedict were good, but not enough hollandaise and a hollandaise had dried a little bit by the time it came to me. The scrapple was really good just wasn't hot. I wish it would've been more hot when I got my order instead it was just lukewarm, but tasted great. She loved her pancakes and they tasted great. We would definitely come back here when we visit again.

Plenty of comfortable seating and lots to look at. Their food and drink menus were extensive for a coffee shop. My Aussie flat white was just ok, but my hummus toast was unbelievable. I wanted to try so much more on the menu because it was so good. My husband also got one of the specialty drinks and that was really good. Next time I go, I would order off their seasonal menu because they are clearly very good at the flavored drinks. My children also loved the simple little things they ordered off their menu.

Having said that, it was pretty well run and after waiting in line I found two registers waiting and was able to order a variety of baked goods and a fresh sandwich, which were prepared for me quite speedily. I wouldn't expect to be in and out immediately at peak times, but for me it was maybe forty-five minutes to wait in line, get food, and eat my sandwich. They offer good options for special dietary needs. The vegan sandwich is based on Old Bay marinated tofu, and they are not kidding about that. It is really, really Old Bay flavored. The tomato and avocado livens things up, but honestly the best part of the sandwich was still the sourdough bread, which is fair enough for a bakery. The spread of pastries I acquired was resplendent in quality and variety, and I will be happy to continue trying out all the Black Market locations to see which one is the most convenient.

We ordered the oatmeal pie, almond croissant, wildberry danish, Black Market bun, lemonade blueberry scone, and a caramel cappuccino. Ordering took maybe 4 minutes, and our food was already being bagged while we were ringing up. The drink took another 3 minutes, which was more than reasonable considering how busy they were. What really stood out was the customer service. The guy behind the counter found out it was our first time and immediately gave us a free scone, then took his time explaining how everything works. He walked us down the line, explained what each baked good was, pointed out the most popular items, and even shared his personal favorites. As busy as they were, they still made sure we felt taken care of. There was also a young lady bagging orders who jumped in and out of conversation while working--just as friendly and welcoming. Service like that is refreshing and definitely made an impression. He jokingly asked if he'd see us next weekend... and yeah, we'll definitely be back. The shop was clean, noise level was moderate, and there are a few tables if you get there early or get lucky, but most people seemed to be ordering to go. Lighting was good, and I didn't really notice any music. Price-wise, everything felt more than fair for the quality. They told us everything is cooked fresh daily and they basically go until they sell out--which makes sense given how much business they were doing. The food was excellent: fresh, flavorful, and a great mix of sweet and savory. Honestly, the only regret I had was not trying the breakfast sandwiches--we watched a few being made and they looked serious. Overall, this was an all-around great visit. The way they operate is unique, the food is top-tier, and I can absolutely see why people rush in to grab their favorites before things sell out. Without a doubt, we'll be back.

The staff is super friendly. It also leans into the "local" of being a local business, as all Naval Bagels locations show their love and pride for the United States Naval Academy.
