Brand new egg sandwich spot and everything was delicious I went with the kitschwich but the BYO options looked great too. There's also a handful of desserts/pastries and coffee/tea read more

Little gem tucked away on the first floor of the Carlyle Apt. I see great potential! You may create your own sandwich or order one from their menu. I opted to create my own and I was not disappointed. The brioche bread was nice and buttery with a slight crisp from the toastiness. The egg was fried and runny . The bacon was perfectly cooked and crispy. Lastly the sandwich was perfectly seasoned. I had a hard time choosing what sauce to put but I ended up choosing the spicy honey, which was on point. I also ordered a dirty chai which was delicious. I am definitely going to come back to this place! The 2 ladies were pleasant, as they greeted me when I came in and bid me farewell when I left. Just to note, it looks like they're the only 2 working, so you may have to wait a couple minutes as each order is made fresh. read more

I had such high hopes for Kitsch based on all the Yelp reviews and their creative menu. The inside was certainly true to its name, featuring a collection of knickknacks and oddities. However, the space inside is really small. You might be able to stand and eat at the tiny window bar, but it won't be very comfortable. I recommend taking your order to go. Regarding their menu, I found the Breakfast at Tiffany's Latte delicious and would definitely order it again (if there weren't so many other tempting options I want to try first!). For food, I ordered the Cuban because I was craving the egg, meat, and dijonnaise combo. However, I was disappointed with my sandwich; the presentation was unappealing, with the sandwich seeming hastily slapped together, and the taste was just...meh. None of the flavors was distinctive. The staff is friendly and I would come back to try the different drinks, but I think there are other coffee shop/cafe options with sitting space and yummy food I would return to first. read more

No idea how we missed this place opening in 2020, but I'm glad we started off our 2023 by discovering it! Their coffee and sandwiches are truly fantastic--arguably a step above the nearby Bird in Hand. We thoroughly enjoyed our food. Notably, however, this location is very tiny, and the seating is limited. Also, the vestibule area with a few tables is unheated, which made it quite chilly when we stopped by. However, don't let that discourage you from going and getting some truly great coffee and friendly service--this place deserves your attention! read more

I went for the first time off of a recommendation from a friend. I got the You're My Best Friend and it tasted very similar to a milky way. I love sweet drinks so it was really good. My friend for the Breakfast @ Tiffany's which I tried and thought was pretty good. It isn't as sweet as I like my drinks but she really enjoyed it. The cafe is pretty small so there isn't really anywhere to sit inside. Because of this I was going to give 4 stars but there were free stickers so that gives extra points in my opinion. read more

Food is good. The service is great, and nice people there We will definitely go back there read more

I'm a bit upset with myself - I come here nearly every day and I'm only just getting around to the review! Kitsch is everything I look for in my local breakfast spot: VERY affordable, adorable and attentive staff, and delicious food. You can build your own sandwich for breakfast or lunch, which means you can make it as delicious as possible. I'm personally a huge fan of their avocado toast. I love their smoothies, but I order them on the thicker side! They can be a little thin, but the staff is so nice that they don't mind doing it for you. I think this is my favorite place to get breakfast in baltimore and I don't mind that they take half my paycheck from me going back so often. LOL read more

My wife and I went here the other day and if you are looking for a place to order food and go, this a great place. If you want to sit down and have a meal, you might want to go elsewhere. The food is good. I made my own breakfast sandwich and it was delicious. My wife ordered the Kitschwich and she really liked hers too. Her latte was also very good as was my hot drip coffee. The only issue is the seating. Two really small tables in a hallway area is all that is offered. If they had more and better seating, I would rate this place 5 stars. read more

This was a delightful discovery. I had a build your own burger, pat myself on the back with veggie sausage, fried egg, Munster,onion, avocado, pickles, Mayo and old bay. It was warm, cooked well and fast. The fried egg was a little cooked through, but honestly it's a gem of a find. I'd been doing Starbucks breakfast sandwiches and cold brew and this felt like quite the upgrade for the same price. Winner for me for sure. read more

Kitsch is a great little cafe that is attached to the Carlyle apartments on the campus of John Hopkins main campus. We were immediately greeted by the lovely staff. I got the breakfast sandwich with sausage and a runny egg on brioche. The bread was fresh and airy that encompassed the fillings and the egg was cooked well. I loved the fact they can cook your egg in a variety of manners to your liking and they have a lot of different condiment's that fit and taste much better than your typical ketchup, salt, and pepper. Compliments to the chef! read more

Great breakfast food, good prices, friendly staff. Not much seating but perfect for ordering ahead to pick up!

Cute cafe with delicious food options, fresh coffee, and friendly staff. All in all a great vibe. There's no real seating given it's small space, but a standing bar and some outdoor lounge chairs worked fine for a quick snack and of course all of your grab and go needs. read more

I have been to Kitsch Cafe a couple of times, one i got an egg sandwich that thing was good, and the other a brisket sandwich that thing was delicious, i think i may have gotten a potato salad or somin not sure, i recall it being solid. read more

I don't know how this place only has one other review. Everyone should go immediately. It's a cute little place tucked at the bottom of an apartment building at the Hopkins undergrad campus. The inside is small, but very cutely and warmly decorated. My friends and I stopped by for a snack to try their breakfast sandwiches. They have a build your own option, but the special caught our eye: the southwest slam entailed a fried egg, house salsa, cheddar, avocado, pickled jalapeno, and tomato on a delicious fluffy brioche bun. Wow. It was amazing. Everything was perfect. The bun was wonderfully toasted, soft, yet still held its own against the fillings. The egg was gooey and runny, with the yolk adding to the sauce. I particularly loved the picked jalapeno--I have a pretty low tolerance for spice but these jalapeno gave the slightest bit of heat. The other ingredients were super fresh. We devoured our sandwiches immediately in the car. More importantly, we met and had a chance to chat with the owner and the chef who were so incredibly nice and humble. You would have never known that one was the prior executive pastry chef of the Atlas group and the other was the prior sous chef of Azumi!!! They will also be starting up a Korean popup in the evenings next week that we will def be trying. read more

Kitsch Cafe - The southwest slam (minus the tomato and pickled jalapeno in this pic bc my friend wanted them separate in hers). - Cafes Near Me - Baltimore, Maryland

Super little joint located in the Carlyle apartment lobby. Smooth strong cup Of coffee. I wish I could get a refill. We ordered our own breakfast sandwiches and they were expertly made with the eggs perfectly cooked and the breads nicely toasted. Thank you for toasting the gluten free bread a little extra for those lovely crispy edges. I added veggies to mine which they kept to the side so they wouldn't get soggy. super delish! They made a simple breakfast sandwich into a work of art. read more

Love this place. Great food and fun people. I'm old, but when I'm in there, I feel young.

Such a cute shop with great menu variety and reasonable prices. Delicious food, great atmosphere, and amazing staff! read more

My wife and I stopped in here for lunch after visiting the BMA. I ordered the special that day which was a pineapple, turkey, jalapeño, cilantro, pepper jack and other yummy ingredients that came together in a wonderful sandwich that was unbelievably great! My wife had a vegetarian sandwich on toast which was also unbelievably good. I almost took off a star because the two table seating area outside the shop was cold and not very inviting, but the food and wonderful staff keep this up at 5 stars. read more

ABSOLUTELY LOVED IT!!! Very friendly staff and the coffee was amazing plus the Sandwich! Only con is I wish they had mugs for sale or t-shirts :( read more

Kitsch Cafe - Iced latte, egg sandwich - Cafes Near Me - Baltimore, Maryland

I made a request about the sandwich I ordered and while sitting outside heard the woman preparing the sandwich say she prepared it wrong and asked someone else working there if she should remake it. He said no and they gave it to me prepared wrong. So I asked for them to make it correctly. While I was sitting there waiting I heard her very loudly complaining about the old man's order who was sitting next to me. He had just asked for a couple things to be excluded from his sandwich.. it wasn't a very complicated request. I'm sure he could hear her complaining too.... She was talking very loudly and the door was cracked open. Overall uncomfortable experience. It would be more considerate to maybe whisper when complaining about customers and their orders? Some people have allergies so special requests are a part of business... felt very passive aggressive read more

Food is always great and the staff is always charming and pleasant. Their breakfast sandwiches are a great way to start the day.

Amazing custom sandwiches, especially for breakfast. Easy online ordering. Great addition to the area.

A very cute little breakfast sandwich shop. Their Ube latte is amazing and the food is fresh and flavorful. Highly recommend this place. There's no seating, it's just a small pick up shop but tastes just as good sitting in my car. read more

I orders for delivery last week, won't order again I got simple things, avocado toast and grilled cheese, and a coffee. It was not good.

Wonderful for breakfast or lunch. I always get the Berkeley- fresh vegetables and delicious crusty bread. Coffee is great- easy to order and pick up. read more

We went on a Sunday and there was seating in the little vestibule area right when you walk in. I had The Club and a strawberry lemonade. The Club was amazing. We will definitely be back! read more

Food is simply amazing! There isn't much space to dine-in but I'll just grab my food and go if it's crowded. I will be back in the future.

Hands down my top 3 (2?) breakfast go-to's in Baltimore. It's always delicious, flavorful and exactly what I wanted. Also the prices are very reasonable! I'm loving this place and selfishly want them to expand and come closer into Hampden. read more

Kitsch is what mornings are about, authentic encounters, good coffee and sandwiches without the arm or leg entrance fee. Sandwich was a solid 9, good drip coffee and the coffee cake muffin was on point. This is not your overly posh, trying to imitate every other coffee shop in America. This is an shop with personality and authenticity of the small team that bangs out sandwiches for the morning rush, but greats you with a HELLO, GOOD MORNING as you enter. I hope you enjoy it! read more

Great cafe! Avocado toast. Egg and bacon sandwich. Delicious lattes. Super friendly. Cute quiet table inside. We found this on Yelp during a visit from out of town. Highly recommend! read more

Great caffeinated drinks, good egg sandwiches, and great vibes. The staff is super friendly. I love the free stickers and fair wages.

I just moved to the area and I'm very happy to say I found my breakfast sandwich spot! I love getting the build your own breakfast sandwich-- and yes, you can ask for over medium fried egg!! read more

I have yet to be disappointed by an experience at Kitsch! We walked over to pick up breakfast this morning at my spouse's urging - I was in the mood for good coffee but not even particularly hankering for a breakfast sandwich, and theirs still hit the exact right spot. It's not a particularly scenic walk from my house so I've been hesitant to commit before, and every time I'm glad to have gone! Their chai latte (for me personally can't forget the added espresso shot) is absolutely delicious, and we love every version of their BYO breakfast sandwich we've had (brioche is a highly underrated breakfast bread). The sammies travel well which makes the walk even more worth it (not that driving isn't an option for the less stubbornly-carless among us). It's also always a delight to interact with their kind and personable staff. So thrilled Kitsch came to University Parkway!!! read more

I live on the floor above and have been walking past the cafe-in-making for the past month or so, so you can imagine the anticipation that had built up. Today Kitsch finally opened, and I dragged my partner with me to get some celebratory drinks and breakfast. We got some lemonade, a chai latte (made "light and sweet"), and two Kitschwichs (scrambled egg and American cheese on a brioche bun). I couldn't wait to drink my chai and took a sip on my way up to my apartment. It stopped me in my tracks, with how delicious it was. Sweet and frothy, I had to fight the urge to turn back and order another to go - it was that good. With this in mind, I knew the safety of my money rested in hoping that the sandwich was just okay. However, as I took a bite of the buttery brioche, I knew that my bank account was a goner. The sandwich melted in my mouth and the blend of cheese and egg felt like a summer song. Again, I had to fight the urge to go back down and order another one. My bank account may no longer be safe from Kitsch Cafe, but my stomach is very satisfied. A very worthwhile tradeoff, I feel. Get down to Kitsch Cafe quick - it was starting to fill up with people when I left... read more

We went here based on Yelp reviews. This place would be fine for breakfast takeout in the neighborhood but not a good option to sit. Deft not a destination spot. We also weren't told until after paying that "they were slammed." So it took us 35 minutes sitting in the heat to get four egg sandwiches. They were good but we won't be back. read more

Love this place!!! The staff is super friendly, the food was amazing (definitely get the gochujang Mayo on your sandwich and I highly recommend the brioche bun and golden mango smoothie!!!) and the place was super cute. Prices were very affordable too! Can't wait to go back. read more

This place is phenomenal. If you don't order an egg sandwich on brioche with bacon, cheddar, sprouts, gochujang and avocado, you should consider seeking clinical help. It is too good. Or maybe that level of temperance - holding yourself back from indulging in bite after bite of doughy brioche, spicy gochujang, crisp bacon, and refreshing avocado and sprouts - warrants a career in priesthood. Either way, you need to let go of your inhibitions and try that sandwich now. Kitsch, if you're reading this, that sandwich combo needs a permanent place on the menu. Perhaps eponymous, in my honor, if you're feeling generous. read more
