I've heard good things about the honey cinnamon latte / coffee in general! I tried the chai latte w/ oat milk (no up-charge for milk alternatives, which is much appreciated), but was surprised to find out it's very, very gingery. It was good, just a bit too much for me personally, as I was looking for a standard/regular chai, but if you like ginger check that out! I would come back to try other drinks. Our barista was nice.

I was happily greeted by the man behind the counter. After observing the menu, which included not just buns, but ice cream, smoothies , bubble tea and some sandwiches and salads, I approached the counter. I said, "Since it's Buns Cafe, I should try your buns, right??" And he happily obliged... they have regular sized ones and mini ones... which honestly don't look all that small, and you can get 3 for $5 (or the regular sized one for $4). The frosting was thick on it too! The man asked me if I wanted it heated, and how could I say no? I went to sit down and I dug into it. Phenomenal. It melted in my mouth, the temperature was perfect, and I really liked the flavor of the frosting. It was more than just vanilla. I don't know exactly what it was, but I would go back just for that bun... and now I'm excited to explore their other options! Who knew such a gem was so close to home???

We stopped by the cafe for a couple of beers before heading back to our part of MD. I think we originally wanted to have a meal there, but the patio was full so we went to another location for lunch. I thought New Deal Cafe had a decent variety of draft beers. Ok, so the selection included three IPAs and one lager. However, IPAs are my beer go-to so it worked for me. The service at the bar was great. Our bartender, Renee, was quite hilarious. I got the sense that this is local "where everybody knows you name" because the customers seemed super social with each other. Looking forward to our next New Deal Cafe visit.

The back room (separated from the front) has the sound stage and additional tables (where patrons and also order and dine while enjoying the music). At the front there is also a big screen tv where the performance is "streamed" from the other space. Cool concept that also works in practice. They have all types of music, open mic, and karaoke. Foodwise they have a menu that is vegan-friendly. A small case of pastries are available as well as wine and beer. A cheesesteak and wings business also seem to be operating in that space. We got drinks (me, green tea) and others also got pastries for dine in. Everything was good and the service was very welcoming. Had to leave before the band started but will catch a performance soon. Great local business!

It took me a couple of years to check out the place because I wasn't sure if "Brews" meant they served coffee or beer. Either one seemed a little quirky, but when I found out it was coffee, I tried it out. (I like to support non-chain coffee places.) The service, especially by the woman who runs the place, is often chatty and friendly. The coffee is good. I highly recommend the mocha; they make the syrup from scratch using dark chocolate so it is not so overwhelmingly sweet. It's my favorite mocha in the area. They also sell a variety of canned and bottled beverages. The seating and coffee bar are industrial-looking; there is a handmade concrete counter, wood and metal seating, and shelves backed with corrugated metal displaying their wares. They have an amazing selection of boutique-y ice creams, and they sell a variety of whole beans. They sell a dessert where they take your selection of ice cream and pour over coffee or matcha. So good! I go there to journal or read. There is a wall of a local nature photographer's works, which are lovely. There's a mini library by the front door that also displays mini artworks by customers, and another shelf near the seating for reading while you are in the store. There is also a seed library where you can pick up and donate seeds!

Definitely a fun and welcoming atmosphere for a date night or meet up with a group of friends to try new games. Flagging that each person pays ~$6 for the games. But they do have discount nights advertised.

However, the food was lacking and inauthentic, and the wait time to get our food was much longer than expected (looks like the kitchen is short-staffed). What we tried (best to worst): - Shan xi zha jiang noodle, D12 ($16.5): this looked enticing because it came with tomato egg, a childhood favorite of mine, and knife cut noodles. Both of those were quite yummy, but the black soybean sauce was way too overpowering. The noodles became drenched and too salty - I couldn't finish it by the end. - Hot oil seared noodle w/ minced pork & veggies, D1 ($15.5): my friend was really disappointed with this one - it wasn't what the menu pictures depicted at all / what we expected. The "veggies" turned out to be just breakfast potatoes, which was very surprising and strange. She did not enjoy this one, unfortunately. They also ran out of minced pork, which both of our dishes came with, so they "upgraded" us to regular pork. As stated above, love the restaurant vibe and loved our waitress. But considering the food quality and wait time, I don't think I'd return.

I've been here about FOUR times now, so clearly they're doing something right. My latest breakfast was a bacon, egg & cheese on a croissant with hash browns on the side, and it HIT! Nothing overly complicated, just a really good breakfast. And the PRICE?! Listen...after what some of these breakfast spots have been charging me lately, Colette's Cafe was a pleasant surprise. Very affordable! It's a quaint, no-frills café with a pretty good variety of breakfast and lunch options: hot and cold sandwiches, chips, drinks, and plenty to choose from depending on what you're in the mood for. And THEN I forgot to mention that it's Black-owned?! Okayyyy! That's how I originally found out about them. Good food, reasonable prices, and I've been back multiple times. That pretty much tells you what you need to know. Sometimes you don't need the fancy décor and $25 breakfast. Just give me a GOOD bacon, egg & cheese, some crispy hash browns, and let me go about my business.

Parking directly out front is limited (maybe six spots), but if you turn onto Turner Pl and make another right around the building, you'll find more parking nearby. From there, hop in the elevator to the first floor and you're greeted by a small grill counter that's simple, welcoming, and straight to the point. The service is friendly and fast, perfect for a quick bite before work or a casual morning stop. They offer both vegetarian and meat options, so there's something for everyone whether you're in the mood for a hearty breakfast sandwich or a lighter meat-free choice. It's not flashy, but it's reliable, convenient, and exactly what you want in a solid breakfast go-to. Downside no actual coffee

Freshly made, crispy on the outside, light and fluffy on the inside, with that nostalgic buttery aroma that keeps you reaching for another bite. It paired perfectly with my Mango Sago.

Ive had more than my share of milk teas here in the US, overseas in the land of boba, Taiwan, and…read morein HK and this place sadly fell short of what it could be. First, their location is very inconvenient unless you are on foot, which may be great for U of MD students, but if you are in a car, its a disaster when it comes to parking. This business even has a sign saying ask about a parking pass and they are not responsible if your car is towed. This alone makes this place already super unattractive. I fought my instincts and gave this place a try, but honestly, felt like I wasted $12. They have a digital kiosk where you can order your drinks and I chose a HK style milk tea (hot) with less sugar and also a jasmine milk tea with boba. The ordering for the jasmine tea was weird because it has an option to choose $1 extra for boba but if you scroll a little further down, you can get boba, no extra charge. I thought that was a bit sneaky, which I didn't appreciate. I waited about 15 min and then my order was ready. The HK style milk tea was supposed to be in a glass container but I only saw the sign after I ordered that they didnt have glass containers. That really sucked. The other issue is that when my HK style milk tea (hot) was ready, it was barely warm, which also was disappointing as it was a bit cool outside and I wanted something hot to warm me up. The HK milk tea also wasn't that great either, nothing special. I've had HK milk teas for about $2 elsewhere and they were great, but this was overpriced and lukewarm. I wont be ordering this again. The other drink seemed OK as I ordered it for someone else. I also thought this place was kind of dirty and could have been more clean. Not sure why the windows looked so dirty. I found the place kind of gross and it just didnt feel as clean as I like businesses to be. Overall, a pretty underwhelming experience. You get one chance to make a good impression especially when there are so many boba options available. I definitely wont be coming back here again.
