You order, put the number on the table, eat, and go. The food comes out surprisingly fast. The ingredients just taste fresh and clean. Not overly salted. It's simple food, but done right. I was surprised how much I liked the place. It's not a place you would travel to go eat. It's a place that if you're in the area and need breakfast and brunch, you can't go wrong. I recommend checking this place out.

It's small and intimate, but I was able to still sit comfortably with my group of 6. You have to order at the front and your food is brought out to you. Which honestly made my time there more enjoyable. I was able to really take my time and read the menu. There were so many options to pick from! The entire staff was not only friendly but extremely helpful. Portion sizes were great, the food tasted amazing but it is a bit pricy. My meal of the chicken & waffles with an ice coffee costed about $27 after tax. That's a bit steep for a breakfast meal for 1 person but the quality of service and taste definitely made it worth it.

It was our first time here, and my wife and I ordered two steak and cheese sandwiches--one on a seeded roll and the other on a baguette. We arrived about 30-40 minutes after placing our order, but the staff couldn't locate it in the system. No biggie--things happen! Per the manager, we waited another 15-20 minutes for our food, but these sandwiches were absolutely worth the wait. The sub was so creamy and cheesy, and the fries were good as well. Hands down, the best steak and cheese I've had in the DMV so far, and I've tried MANY! We will be back!

Popular restaurant and café, good food, many coffee and tea varieties, including dry packaged…read more Café Jun is a restaurant and café in the Forest Green shopping center on US 40. It's a smallish space and indoor seating was really full at 11 AM on a weekday. Because of rain, the outdoor benches were not in use, and I saw closed-up patio-umbrellas too. I ordered from a kiosk or you could order online or in person. I got the bacon egg and cheese croissant and it was made quickly by welcoming staff. It was a regular size croissant with very light cheese and a layer of crispy bacon pieces in a well toasted croissant. The flavor was good. This café also sells a number of beverages, including fresh ground espresso, and various teas And they sell some bakery goods, candies, and quite a variety of dry-packaged teas and coffee. The parking right in front Café Jun can get pretty full, but there's plenty parking in the rest of the shopping center. You can enter the shopping area from eastbound US-40 Baltimore National Pike, or from westbound Frederick Road. It's just east of Centennial Lane/Bethany Lane and about a mile West of US 29. The larger shopping area has a diner 3-strip mall sections, one of which is called Princess Shopping Center, so I'm a little confused which mall-name covers which shops. They have a summer concert planned! That should be fun!

People do seem to respect the 90MIN seating window though so you should be able to find a seat. You order and pay at the counter first and then they give you a table number card. This is how they find you to serve your food. I ordered a regular matcha latte, a bacon, egg and cheese sandwich on croissant bread and their famous croffle. I loved their matcha latte. It's pre-sweetened so no need to add extra vanilla syrup or anything. This does not taste like a traditional matcha, which in my opinion tastes like dirt. This is a sweeter, dessert like matcha. I didn't care for the bacon, egg and cheese sandwich. It was kind of dry and it tasted like something was missing. The croffle was amazing. It has a nutty, pecan like taste to it and it was topped with vanilla gelato and blueberries. I couldn't really taste the maple syrup but it was delicious nonetheless.

While I have been coming to Ellicott City with friends for years. However, recently recently…read moreinstead of hitting Syriana (you can check my review), my best friend and I decided to hit up Manor Hill Tavern. A nice old building of stone and dark wood my friend and I perused the menu: very New American with lots of Maryland seafood classics. I ordered the crab cakes with fingerling potatoes and coleslaw. The crab cake, though small, was mostly lump crab meat with very little bread crumbs and served with a remoulade. Very moist and flavorful. The coleslaw was slightly bland, but I enjoyed it none the less. And the fingerling potatoes were cooked and salted to perfection. However they were lacking any real fat: no butter or oil. Now, it just so happened that my friend had purchased a bottle of Rosemary infused olive oil a mere half-hour ago. A drizzle of this turned these dry potatoes into something of a revelation, but I really shouldn't have had to doctor the meal I pay for with outside condiments to make it truly enjoyable. My friend enjoyed a hamburger with caramelized onions that was cooked precisely to her order and she enjoyed it a great deal. So, clearly, not all menu items needed as much help. The server taking care of us was very on top for job and kept our drinks filled and us happy. I really wanted to give this place a higher score, but there were too many little things off. I think with a few tweeks to some of the menu options this could be a really excellent restaurant. But currently, it's just "fine." For the price (think thirty dollars for a typical entree) I expected better.

After that, they went from a small coffee shop window to a full kitchen. They have sandwiches, pizza, breakfasts, and coffee of all kinds. It has so much promise, but sadly I find it to be a let down. Every time I'm here the coffee and food is just average. My sandwich sounded so good, but the bacon was not crisp, couldn't taste the jam in it, and just seemed like the turkey sandwich I pack for my lunches for work. The biggest benefit of this place is the outdoor seating. On a nice day, it is the best place to hang out with a half decent cup of specialty coffee.

However, I came across a promotion on Instagram and learned that they had a BOGO offer yesterday so we had to take advantage of it.

I ordered the chicken salad and he ordered the Wreck. I placed my order on the app prior to leaving my office which is located in Rockville. I arrived a few minutes earlier than my pick up time, but it was ready by my selected time. Our order was accurate and our sandwiches were warm and fresh.

After going back in forth with the girl behind the counter, I asked her to get the manager. Again, I repeated I can pay the difference. Then the girl proceeded to ring up the drinks and wanted me to pay for them in addition to the bottled waters. Manager came out and told me I would have to pay for them in addition. I don't need 6 drinks! I told them forget it and I would leave nice review and reach out to corporate or district manager.
