The coffee roasted in house here is so smooth and flavorful. The G.O.A.T Bagel with tomato, goat cheese, avocado, and Old Bay seasoning is delicious, as are the açaí bowls! The open area is a great place to work if you like a bustling environment that smells like roasting coffee! There is often limited seating available as it is a popular place for people to sit, chat, and work. For parking longer than 15 minutes, there is a paid lot just up Gallatin street next to the post office. I love the garage door entrance when the weather is nice. Feels like a nice, welcoming, community space.

They were pretty much sold out of pastries, but had muffins, so why not. I got two. A morning glory, and cinnamon bun (not sure if this was their actual names; I couldn't read the place card. The morning glory muffin was phenomenal. It was so moist. I was actually full after eating it. The following day I ate the cinnamon one which was OK I know by now. It was a day old, but it didn't have as much flavor as the first one and the walnuts were sort of sunken to the bottom of the muffin. It still tasty, but I recommend the first one which I've included a photograph of. Come in after 4:00, and it's Buy One, Get One Free!

Ive had more than my share of milk teas here in the US, overseas in the land of boba, Taiwan, and…read morein HK and this place sadly fell short of what it could be. First, their location is very inconvenient unless you are on foot, which may be great for U of MD students, but if you are in a car, its a disaster when it comes to parking. This business even has a sign saying ask about a parking pass and they are not responsible if your car is towed. This alone makes this place already super unattractive. I fought my instincts and gave this place a try, but honestly, felt like I wasted $12. They have a digital kiosk where you can order your drinks and I chose a HK style milk tea (hot) with less sugar and also a jasmine milk tea with boba. The ordering for the jasmine tea was weird because it has an option to choose $1 extra for boba but if you scroll a little further down, you can get boba, no extra charge. I thought that was a bit sneaky, which I didn't appreciate. I waited about 15 min and then my order was ready. The HK style milk tea was supposed to be in a glass container but I only saw the sign after I ordered that they didnt have glass containers. That really sucked. The other issue is that when my HK style milk tea (hot) was ready, it was barely warm, which also was disappointing as it was a bit cool outside and I wanted something hot to warm me up. The HK milk tea also wasn't that great either, nothing special. I've had HK milk teas for about $2 elsewhere and they were great, but this was overpriced and lukewarm. I wont be ordering this again. The other drink seemed OK as I ordered it for someone else. I also thought this place was kind of dirty and could have been more clean. Not sure why the windows looked so dirty. I found the place kind of gross and it just didnt feel as clean as I like businesses to be. Overall, a pretty underwhelming experience. You get one chance to make a good impression especially when there are so many boba options available. I definitely wont be coming back here again.

I've been ordering from here almost once a week since I found this place in August 2025, and I…read moreusually stick to my go-to: caramel milk tea with extra sugar, no boba. This time, I noticed they had a pho + milk tea combo, so I ordered it through the app. When my food arrived, I got the pho but there was no broth, just dry noodles. I also ordered beef pho with meatballs, and there were only two tiny meatballs, no beef at all, and the noodles were soggy and overcooked (and not how it looked in the photo advertised). My fiancé took it back so they could fix it. When he got there, he called me so I could speak to the worker. She told me, "I can pour some juice in it, but since you added meatballs, you'd have to buy another $14 combo to get beef because you didn't add beef to your pho." That made no sense why would I order another pho just to get what I already paid for? I told her I did add beef and asked her to check my receipt. She immediately cut me off, said "not my problem," and walked away. I was honestly in shock. I wasn't rude or yelling I just wanted my order corrected. It's just pho, but the customer service made the situation so much worse. She refused a refund or to give me her manager's information. Eventually, she handed my fiancé the soup, but the lid wasn't on correctly, so as soon as he got outside, it spilled all in the bag. At that point, I just threw it away. I'm honestly sad because I loved this place it's such a cute spot to study if you're a student, and the decor is really nice. But after this experience, I probably won't be coming back. I ended up having to order actual pho on Uber Eats, so I spent about $51 out of pocket for a replacement... which is insane in this economy i tried to call to get a hold of a manager to speak about the incident but their business phone number is suspended and is no longer in service I've attached a screenshot of my receipt below with the date to show that I did, in fact, order beef.

Located on the 1st floor of the STAMP Student Union, the cafe serves Starbucks coffee and a limited selection of typical Starbucks drinks like macchiatos, flavored lattes, and frappucinos.

This is an ideal place for me to sit and study, read a book, or talk to a friend over coffee. The Coffee Bar also has a limited selection of food items like pastries.
