    Vanilla chai latte
    Aisha A.

    Oh, I love this place!!!! My family was in the area to celebrate a citizenship ceremony at the Baltimore Field Office, and we came here for a celebratory brunch!! This place is so cute, vibey, and has a great atmosphere. The food and drinks are SOOO good and reasonably priced. We ate our food and drinks so fast because it was so good. We literally finished eating within 10-15 minutes. I ordered the chicken and waffles, along with a vanilla chai latte. Delicious!!!! Everything was homemade. Everything on the menu sounded super good and original for the restaurant. Our drinks are made on the spot. Our servers, Keith, were the sweetest and so kind. He was so helpful answering every question that we had, checking in about our food and drinks to ensure we were satisfied. He was the best. We don't eat pork, so both he and the chefs made sure to make substitutions to accommodate our dietary restrictions. The place is so cute (see pictures attached). There's artwork along the wall for sale. I truly love this place and would highly recommend it to others for a cute bite to eat solo, with family, or with friends. Thres ton of parallel parking out front and I will be back next week to try something else on the menu even though i dont live in the area. After submitting this review, I'd better not see this place empty on a Tuesday morning, again!!!!

    We had been here once before and weren't as impressed as much as we were today. Jeremiah, our server was fabulous! Everything was served with a smile and a great attitude. The food was cooked perfectly and we enjoyed everything we ordered. Looking forward to trying breakfast here in time. Great place to go if your are in Arbutus hanging out!

    Definitely coming back .. thanks to Jeremiah ( I hope that's his name) his energy from start to finish made this experience worth wild. The food was GREAT... the breakfast potatoes were AMAZING... the spinach omelet was made to perfection . Overall the food was great . The place its self is small yet cute . The decor could be updated . But again I highly recommend stopping by .

    What in the world am I doing in Arbutus? Planning a rare lunch with two coworkers proximate to Catonsville, another coworker from the area steered us toward Arbutus' fairly new Martha's--where old school diner meets modern taste. Fresh food, fresh faces, homey vibe! I enjoyed my fine grilled (or crispy) chicken sandwich on roll with "shreddy letty" and other condiments with Parmesan fries and Old Bay broccoli sides. My cos enjoyed shrimp and creamy tan grits and the breakfast plate. Service from various young and upbeat staff was efficient and attention to our diet and allergy requests much appreciated. Definitely nice to know this varied menu cafe in a quiet residential area is around for brunch and lunch!

    Martha's plate with Avocado.

    Really cute place inside! The Service was just ok.....The food lacked flavor. The best thing was the toast and avocado. The iced coffee was all cream! Hot coffee had no flavor. They need to add Turkey bacon or turkey sausage to there menu for the non-pork eaters. They were out of cinnamon rolls which was the one thing I went there for.

    Chicken and wafflea

    Finally made it to Martha's Cafe - why did I wait so long?! Delicious food, attentive/cheerful service and overall an awesome experience! Chicken and waffles and creamed chipped beef with Pullman toast were fresh and good portions.

    I came here for a very Instagrammable coffee flight and was not disappointed. We ordered a simple…read morecorned beef sandwich and I got the iced coffees flight. So the flight was for different ice lattes paired with a pastry, which was a croissant a Blondie brownie, a macaroon and lastly.strawberry cake for $25. It took a while for the flight to be prepared because I think they're a little bit shortstaffed on a Monday morning, but they had a lot of comfortable places to sit and wait. The corn beef sandwich came out good and I mentioned it was simple because it's literally just corn beef with some white bread and some cheese, but it was actually pretty tasty for breakfast. The coffee flight came out and it's on a large paddle and it looked really delicious. I have to say the regular flavored lattes and the croissant weren't my favorite choices, but as I started moving down the paddleboard towards flavored lattes and the Blondi bar, it was pretty good. My favorite latte was the butter beer and my favorite pastry actually turned out to be the Blondie brownie bar. The inside has enough seating for about 50 people and it's really cutely decorated. I highly recommend stopping in if you're in the mood for a coffee after a day of shopping in Ellicott city.

There were 6 of us, and they were able to put two tables together to accommodate us. I was overall disappointed with the food. The waffle which I paid $5 for was super small and there were just chunks of sugar in it. I also ordered scrambled eggs with spinach and cheese. The spinach came out on the side of the eggs and was uncooked. The cheese was not melted, and the eggs were burnt (dark brown and dry). The waitress was kind enough to take the eggs back for the cheese and spinach to be mixed/melted. They were still burnt and flavorless. I picked around and ate what I could. I also ordered some kind of spinach and feta pastry from the front case, which was good. We also all enjoyed the homefries which were crispy with a unique seasoning. We ordered the stuffed french toast which had a great flavor, but it wasn't really stuffed, there were just toppings on it. My nephew ordered the chicken and waffles. He's 15. I'm guessing that waitress assumed he was a kid and gave him the kids portion. Either way, the fried chicken looked like two pieces of frozen chicken schnitzel. My mother ordered the Reuben and did not like it at all because it lacked flavor.

We spent three-days in Baltimore and would have probably eaten here every day had time permitted. Note: The O'Rave Burger, which is a homage to the Baltimore Orioles and Ravens, consists of a blended pork and beef patty. Guests observing dietary restrictions concerning pork should be advised accordingly.

We picked this location mostly because it was conveniently located just off the highway on our way home. It's situated in what felt like a small downtown area of Arbutus. The inside of the coffee shop is much larger than it appears from the outside and, in addition to the main café area, it also includes a community room. Once inside the coffee shop space, there's a cooler with drinks and a small display case with their pastries. For our coffees that morning, I went with a large hot Lavender Dreams latte, while my wife ordered the Peach Keen cold brew. It took somewhere between 5 to 10 minutes before we had our coffees and were on our way. My coffee tasted good as I could clearly taste both the lavender and the honey, but there was still plenty of strong coffee flavor on the backend. My wife's coffee, on the other hand, wasn't so good. The peach flavor was extremely strong and sweet, and both of us thought it clashed in a strange way with the bold cold brew. The bottom line for me is that I might stop by here again in the future. While I enjoyed my coffee, my wife's was definitely one of the weirder flavors I've tasted and not in a good way.

I was intrigued by the variety of savory treats, some topped with cheese and beef, others with vegetables. I was also delighted to see macaroons, that looked pretty authentic. With all the solid options present, I landed in a pistachio donut! Now, I will say I had a bit higher expectations for the donut. The donut itself was delicious, but I would have appreciated more pistachio throughout the cream in the center or maybe even skipping out on the cream altogether. Overall I think it was certainly worth a try. The matcha, for sure, stole the show! I will be back to try another flavor of matcha and a savory pastry!
