Sad Tex Mex chicken wrap - wheat wrap hard and chewy and so much corn.
CJ T.

Wow! I'm so glad I decided to go visit this place in person rather than a delivery order. Night and day difference. This place is adorable. They even have outdoor seating and the weather was absolutely perfect. The hostess was pleasant and so helpful. She recommended the chicken sandwich which had pesto, arugula and mozzarella cheese. Absolutely delicious. I had such a nice time here. I'll definitely be back.

Side Chicken Sausage
Thomas G.

This thing is so big it's a challenge to eat so you need to smash it. My issue wasn't so much the smash but after the first bite you begin to lose ingredients. If it wasn't the ham it was the egg or tomato slipping out. It's tasty but I will definitely opt for a diff sandwich option next time. Service is wonderful. Looks like they do a bunch of door dash etc.

Chicken salad sandwich, Broccoli And Cheddar soup and a Side Salad
Erica B.

5+ Friendly people, comfortable space, jam worthy playlist. I knew I'd enjoy my food and time there from the moment I walked in and was greeted with a smiling face saying "Hello". So many choices to choose from. I went with the soup and sandwich combo, which also comes with a small side salad and a cookie or an Apple. The perfect combo to me! I went with the house made chicken salad, broccoli and cheese soup, sugar cookie. Within a few minutes everything was sitting at my table waiting to be devoured. 5 stars zero complaints the chicken salad, soup or the cookie. I live about 35 minutes away. I was in the area dog sitting. I almost drove 35 minutes the next morning for the exact same meal. It is THAT good! Tip: Free WiFi available and they cater events

Menu (3/2025)

My friend brought me to this cafe for lunch - super cute place. They're already decorated for Easter. We placed food for dine in at the ordering counter and found a table to sit at. I ordered the Yacht Club sandwich with chips and a Caramel Frappe and my friend ordered a flatbread. My sandwich was so filling and really good. All the ingredients tasted really fresh. My frappe was delicious. The staff were friendly here and the prices are super reasonable. Such a great place for the area.

First time here and loved it. There are so many drink options and food options. I liked that the food is served on plates when eating in, the drinks are in plastic cups, would've loved lugs, but it's minor infraction, lol! The food was really good and so were the drinks. The space itself it supervise and decorated nicely.. the aqua theme makes it feel airy! Definitely will be back

My cousin introduced me to this place after working out at Planet Fitness. I think I ended up going back six times and every time was extremely impressed with the food, the coffee, and the service. I think it was my second or third time in and was greeted by name. That impressed me so much. You should definitely try the Burrizo Burrito. So good! The coffee is great. I get a mocha with cinnamon. The staff is friendly and the atmosphere is warm and welcoming. Nothing but good things to say about here

BLT
Tiara D.

I went back recently and was highly disappointed. I ordered a BLT and was served the thinnest sandwich I had in my life. Also, not sure what's going on with the beverage section but they keep very limited amount of ice tea and lemonade out for customers. I was racing to fill my cup up with another gentleman because the containers were being refilled a cup at a time. The hash brown sandwich had a piece of lettuce on it. Everything just seemed to be rationed and skimpy. For the price against the product, I probably won't return again.

Lemonade and Sweet Tea
Kymbaly W.

This place is so cute and quaint. I love that I found it. It's truly a little cafe we're you can sit and do work or meet up with friends. They are always super nice when I go in and I ended up going three days in a row. You will have to wait a little after you order so don't be in a rush. I ordered tuna on a toasted croissant with American cheese, pickles, and roasted red peppers. The tuna wasn't over seasoned and had a great consistency. The sandwich as a whole was very flavorful and I ended up ordering it again the next day but on white toast and a little red onion. I think I like the toasted croissant better. Now the side house salad dressing is sooo good. They should never stop making it. The first time I tasted it I got it as a side but didn't eat the cranberries. I ended up getting a full house salad later that week and removed the cranberries and added cucumbers, croutons, and feta cheese. The croutons are not crunchy: just FYI. But I still loved the salad. I did try the broccoli cheddar soup a few days later. Unfortunately, I didn't really like it. It was a little too watery for me. The lemonade and sweet tea weren't real lemony or sweet. More on the watery side. But overall I really love this cute place and will be back probably one day every week for lunch.

Love this local spot! Not entirely sure when they opened but it has been there for a while and I have gone there now about 3-4 times. Each time, I get great service and delicious food and drinks. They have a wide range of items that you can pick from for breakfast and I believe some sandwiches and pastries. They also have plenty of seats indoors if you choose to eat/drink there. They also have some games you can play and a small "gift shop" where you can buy merch. There is plenty of parking as there are other stores nearby.

16 oz Harvest Latte
Rosemary M.

I love this little cafe. It's such a nice spot to have in the area. They're always well decorated with the season, and the staff is consistently welcoming and kind. I ordered the avocado toast (added egg), a blueberry scone, and a harvest latte. Let me say: I am OBSESSED with the harvest latte. I eagerly wait for them to sell it every year and I am always sad when it leaves. I don't know how to describe the flavor, but know it is basically fall in a cup. Like pumpkin spice but way better. I always get it with oat milk, which I really think just takes it to another level. You have to try it if it's in season. Crunchy toast, creamy avocado, warm egg - perfect avocado toast! I love the salt and crushed pepper they put on top. The egg does cost more, but I think it's worth it for a little extra something. They also have a crabby avocado toast, which I didn't get today, but I highly recommend that too! I've really been into scones lately for whatever reason, and it's been interesting to see how they differ depending on who makes them. First of all, this scone was HUGE. Scones tend to be on the less sweet side, but this one was probably one of the least sweet I've had (not a bad thing!). I think most of the sweetness came from the crunchy sugar on the top and the blueberries inside. The flavor really just reminded me of a biscuit. It also wasn't super dry like scones are known to be. I truly love coming here. It's worth the stop if you're nearby!

I'll admit, I only purchased a tea to go, but the staff was friendly enough and the place seemed to be very popular. The line was long when I arrived - but it moved pretty quickly. I'll have to go back if I'm in the area again and try out the other options.

Chesapeake (special)
Theresa S.

Came across Joanna's while on a work trip and was pleasantly surprised. Inside is cute and casual with an assortment of pastries and goodies on display. We all ordered the special breakfast, the Chesapeake which was so freaking good. It was two fried eggs, bacon, avocado, and CRAB all on a perfectly toasted Asiago bagel. It was so good and not too heavy on the stomach. I also had to try their popular latte options such as the Starr and the Death Starr, both were delicious and kept me caffeinated all day. The next day I tried the Burrata sandwich, this was also pretty good and I loved how they toasted with the bread with the mozzarella (making the perfect cheese pull). The grilled cheese , Mac n cheese, and tomato soup were also quite good. This is a small portions spot so don't expect huge meals out of here. Everything was decently priced and service was great. Even if you are just grabbing a coffee this is the spot!

Sunday breakfast I tried the chipped beef. It had ALL the flavor and wasn't gritty tasting like some other diners. The service is ALWAYS friendly and fast, I've never had to wait for a seat, and my food comes out piping hot. The coffee is always fresh and they leave plenty of creamer. Parking is a little tight but not insane. Last but not least, they bring the check in a reasonable amount of time. I hate waiting forever for the check. The restaurant is clean, and brightly painted. There is also counter seating if you're flying solo. Definitely a place with local color, I think I found my new favorite spot on the Dundalk/Essex side of town!!!

We also grabbed an order of their super skinny and crispy french fries. The total with drinks came to around the mid $40s (before tip) and the customer service was friendly and helpful, as well as a bonus short wait for the food. Everything was delicious. They also offer a great variety of sandwiches and drinks at brunch and a great seasonal menu.

As soon as we sat down we were offered a cinnamon roll- this was a special treat as we had given ourself a goal of finding a delicious cinnamon roll over the weekend. OMG was that a good choice! We split it 4 ways which allowed us each to have the experience while still having room for the rest of breakfast . The rest of the meal was equally marvelous- in particular the scrapple (IYKYK) was perfectly prepared and crispy on the outside and soft inside. The decor was funky- it was only a few weeks before Halloween and so I'm not sure whether some of the spooky aspects were Halloween or every day- whatever it is- it works!

You seat yourself, scan a QR code for the menu, and a server comes by to take your order. I skipped the famous Captain Crunch French Toast and ordered the Sweet Baby Jesus: crispy hash browns topped with crab, Old Bay, cheddar cheese, eggs, and hollandaise. Honestly, it felt like a crab eggs Benedict with hash browns instead of English muffins. The presentation was lackluster, and the combination of Old Bay, cheese, and hollandaise didn't quite work for me. It was edible, but not something I'd order again. The small space creates an unspoken eat-and-leave atmosphere, which is understandable but not ideal for larger groups looking to linger. I wouldn't say I'll never return, but after this experience, I won't be rushing back anytime soon.

This is the sort of place that makes you feel at home from the moment you arrive. And, for someone who's been several times, I now feel like family. If you're looking for an unhurried coffee served on a silver tray, get their Ethiopian coffee service. If you're looking for a good coffee to go, they've got that, too. If you want breakfast, you're in the right place, and you can try more than the usual diner fare or avocado toast. There are a few Ethiopian dishes for lunch, too, with fantastic injera that is flown in daily from Ethiopia. If you want a special Ethiopian dish that's not on the menu, they may be able to make it with some notice. The coffee house has a small shop with Ethiopian coffee, incense, and trinkets from their homeland. It's a special place run by genuinely kind people who care about sharing their love of their homeland through their food and the way they treat customers. Don't miss it.
