I nabbed the last lemon honey scone warmed and a 12oz iced horchata chai w/oatmilk and light ice. Today was SUPER QUIET inside which felt like the best whine down in a home like setting. The daily baked goods, drinks and friendly staff makes life better once you get here. Stop by like I did and be in quiet heaven.

Continuing on my list of coffee shops, I tried The Reister's Daughter in Reisterstown, MD. This…read moreplace was great. We met some friends and were able to find both parking and a table. I had a mocha latte and this Iranian Chocolate Pop-Tart thing that was awesome.... I really need to start taking pictures of my food and these places. The ambiance is that of a coffee house but this coffee house is an old historic building with natural wood floors and big windows. The layout is convenient for having a mix of seating and the volume was such that we could hear our party but not feel like we were screaming. The coffee was good. the people friendly, the snacks (ok not a meal but too much to ignore from the experience) the snacks were delightful. My wife almost ate half of my Pop-tart it was so good. Ok, this one gets a definite try, the locals seemed to like it, it was close-ish to Columbia, and worth checking out.

But we're hungry and walking around to see what else was around while waiting and this gem we stumbled upon. At first the prices were a bit like...come on now...but after ordering and eating, I'd say ok to going back. Kids split a protein waffle and a yogurt parfait. I had the avocado toast with a hard boiled egg...shoulda got 2 eggs. Wife got a tomato, mozzarella with prosciutto toast. All were delicious and presentation was first class. Hopefully this spot makes it and we can come back for another meal.

There are a good number of options from juices/smoothies, toasts and acai bowls. The space was very clean and looked perfect for a short meeting or teleworking.

In addition, the juice was a complimented the meal. I was worried that I would still be hungry, but it actually filled me up. Thanks Toastique, I will be back!

I offered a vanilla latte which was ok, the flavor of the coffee wasn't to my liking and the milk was frothy (isn't a latte).

I've been a longtime patron of Goldberg's, but the quality of their bagels does not excuse casual…read moreracism from their staff. I (a white male) placed a mobile order for a half dozen bagels and ask my wife (and Indian female) to pick it up for us. I even forwarded my wife the confirmation email. When she went in, she told them we placed an order and showed them the email confirmation, and as they were about to hand it over, someone told the person helping her "no, don't hand it over, we need to verify" not realizing this was a personal order. When she asked why, they then said "oh well we assumed most of you guys are delivery drivers." She then replied that it's a bit too early in the morning for this causal racism, to which they shrugged it off as you'd be surprised as to how common it is. I don't care how common it is. I don't care if 99.9% of the time it follows a pattern. It is unacceptable behavior on its face. We will not be returning.

I have been going to their Pikesville location for 4 years. NOT ANYMORE! Let's start with the rude man who is the Host/cashier. He seats folks however he feels like rather than when they came in. Today was the last draw! He sat two women who came in after I did before me. Say what you will but "coincidentally" they were black and so is he! The feckless manager offered no help. This arrogant front man is mishandling his position while the manager retreats to the kitchen. I know several customers who have abandoned the Pikesville location for the Owings Mills facility. I previously wondered why, but not anymore. THE PIKESVILLE FIRST WATCH IS DETERIORATING!
