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???

However, I would say that the music plays from a little Bluetooth on the corner of the restaurant and it's not the greatest quality, would cut in and out, and it was just blaring way too loud, making it hard to have regular conversations. Service wasn't too bad overall. There was only one weight staff who had all the tables in the restaurant which made her spread out pretty thin. But we wouldn't get regular refills or Water and took so long to get water (waiting up to 20 min to try to get her attention) and at the end of our time together she finally gave us a pitcher of Water, but a little late as we're most done. Also, it took a while to get basic things we had ordered coffee but either she forgot to bring us coffee or she didn't ring it in and we weren't able to get it until after our food was delivered. So service, while she was friendly and kind, our service was definitely subpar. Hopefully this wasn't bc she had automatic tip bc our party was so large for her lack of service. 1/5 for service The food was amazing for the most part. I had gotten the salmon BLT and it was moist and tender with good flavor and seasoning, and the bread had a great texture and flavor to it as well. The bacon was nice and smoky and the sauce that was paired with it made it great. The hashbrowns were so crispy and seasoned with great flavor and salt! This was a winner! 4.5/5 Yeah, I got a bunch of other dishes, but I only tried small bites here and there of other people stuff. What I would say, is that the Cajun pasta shrimp was cooked perfectly and was tender and had great flavor! And that sauce was amazing! The sausage I tried wasn't the best but decent! We got biscuits and wings as appetizers, and the wings were great, good flavor, good crunch, and a decent size. However, there needs to be more wings in the order for the price. The hot honey sauce as good! 4/5 The biscuits were pretty moist and had a great texture and consistency, You get two for the order! 4/5 Overall, the food is pretty amazing. However, the service was pretty bad. Maybe this was a one off but just prepared for a long waits for everything from water to getting a drink order.

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.
