I've been wanting to try Uncle Nearest whiskey for a while and sure enough I got a FB ad showing that this local spot had it! It's definitely a great little spot tucked away in Glenelg. From the outside of the building, you wouldn't know that there's a speakeasy inside, but that's what makes it fun. There's a handful of tables inside and a small shuffleboard too. There's an area outside that I have not been able to check out yet due to it being February when I was there. Kelvin gave me a great story about Uncle Nearest and told it with such enthusiasm too. Kelvin brings this great energy and is one of those people where you can tell that he loves what he does. The whiskey selection in here is phenomenal! So many different ones that I want to try and Kelvin will give you his recommendations based on your preferences. This is a great place for those that want to sip on whiskey or a classic cocktail. Can't wait to go back just so I can have some good laughs with Kelvin and try a few more whiskeys that are on my list! read more

Kelvin, the owner, is a sweetheart. We stopped by after eating dinner at Cilantros across the street. We were stuffed so were not able to add any more to our tummies. Kelvin was so personable and we promised we would come back. We did ... the next day ... and had a lovely visit ... I had the 'Soccer Mom' gin drink which was so gooooooood and my fella had a chance to try some new bourbons. Cozy spot, great ambience for hanging out, and a lovely sweetheart of an owner. We WILL be back. read more

I was refused service with my service dog. No pets are allowed in- even service dogs- which is against the law. Go somewhere else.

Delicious organic, fair trade coffee - none of that sugar filled nonsense you get at corporate shops. The shop has a fun theme incorporating the owner's existing doggy day care business - why yes, I do want a Weimaraner size coffee. Haha The owner was incredibly friendly and took the time to describe the menu and coffee they offer. Will be back for sure. Oh, and love the fact they allow dogs to come play in the fenced in property out back on Saturday's. Just a quick tip: if you do - bring your pup's vaccination records. Love that they want to keep your dog and other dogs safe. There is seating just outside the fence so you can enjoy your coffee while your dog gets in some exercise and socialization. Dogs aren't permitted inside the building itself due to Howard county health and safety regulations - but that's just common sense. read more

Coffee was amazing!!! This is close by and O decided to try it out after looking on Yelp. Going there again today. So much better than Starbucks read more

This place is so close by that I had to go. I was up pretty early today and go there around 7:20 and told the person that it my first time there so he explained what they had an what not. Since I was there so early I believe I was talking to the owner and he was so nice... what kind of person is so nice in the morning? Not me, but I'm glad he was. So, as usual, I get chai lattes from new coffee places I go to. And oh my god it was so good. He served it and I could see the foam all fluffy and creamy colored on top. The lids and napkins and other stuff were on the side table in case you want to add extra sugar or something to it. Much better than trying to pry open the top and risk some of my precious drink dripping all over the place. Plus, it is just personally satisfying to see how the drink looks before covering it with a lid. Haha Also, this place is right across from subway. So if you go to subway definitely consider checking this place out. (One day I will be lucky enough to run into someone getting a coffee with their cute dog. T.T getting coffee and perring dogs would just set me for the entire day/week honestly. Lol) read more

K-9 & Coffee - I like the window seat always - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Glenelg, Maryland

See all

My girlfriend and I stopped in after a haircut across the street, and let me tell you it was the best decision we've made all week! This was a great little spot. Very cute decor and place, and great coffee! We will definitely be returning. 9/10 for now, play some music in the joint and it'll be a 10! Kelvin was just as informative as he was charming, and the cold brews with a pump of chocolate and oat milk were phenomenal, my only complaint is that I didn't get a bigger size! read more

Second update: message from the owner to me, exact quote: "Do what you must and hide behind your review....You know where I am located if you want to talk like a man and not hide behind a review. The fact of the matter is you were the baby who cried on Yelp about my business. I did nothing wrong but follow Howard County Health Department rules and by the way the customer is NEVER always right. I have been in business with multiple businesses for 20 years......FRIEND!" So now the business owner, not delivering on their original advertising, is challenging me to come in person to resolve this? I used Yelp as designed to offer a review, happy to change it if the experience changed. Instead I'm literally getting messaged multiple times challenging my manhood because I won't waste time to discuss in person? How emotionally unbalanced is this person??? First Update: So instead of addressing my concern, the owner chastises me on social media for giving a bad review. Said I should be ashamed of myself for leaving a bad review. Excuse me? I've been running small businesses in central Maryland for 15 years. Owner chastised me for not even trying the coffee, when I would have had to leave my dog in the car to try the coffee. More detail: I had planned on bringing my pup in simply to order, then to sit outside. I was aware that the play area wasn't open - i didn't come to use that. But I figured a "dog friendly, dog themed" coffee shop would surely let my dog come in with me and sit quietly while I ordered. When I pulled in, someone met me in the parking lot to tell me the play area was closed. I said thank you, I knew that, I just wanted to get coffee and some breakfast and sit outside with my dog. They said I couldn't bring the dog in. I said, okay - can I park closer so my dog can see me while I'm ordering? Again, no. Can I order some breakfast outside? We don't have any breakfast. At that point, as a dog lover, I'm wondering why I drove 20 minutes one way to a "dog friendly" coffee shop that doesn't allow dogs aside from 4 hours a week. I literally was in the process of making coffee dates with my dog-owning friends to meet there...only to tell them A) how they weren't really dog friendly at all except on Saturdays, and B) the owner will throw a temper tantrum at you if you complain. What's even better is that I had intended on checking out the daycare and boarding situation to potentially use their doggy services...but after his response to the Yelp review? No wonder it was dead on a Friday morning - if they treat all their customers that way, it makes perfect sense I was the only one there. Final point - I would have been happy to change my negative review if there was any sliver of customer service in the reply. As a small business owner myself, that is my goal in responding to any customer complaint. Instead, I got an angry and childish temper tantrum from the owner because a customer gave a bad review when customer was given bad service??? If you go out of business, it won't be because of COVID - it'll be because of your own bad attitude!

What a comfortable and approachable coffee shop! Kelvin was friendly and chatted knowledgeable about coffee on and off the menu. Will be back soon to have great coffee and talk giants football. read more

This small gourmet coffee shop serves top-quality espresso drinks, great conversation and just happens to be collocated with a nice daycare spot for Rover. We regularly pick up a pound of the tastiest coffee around from there too. read more

I'm so happy I found this unique coffee shop in Howard county. I love how all drinks are named after dogs and that the coffee is all organic. The staff is friendly and the environment is warm and inviting. It's a great place to meet up with friends! It's a definite must if you appreciate a great cup of coffee or matcha tea. I wish the owner much success!! read more
