Coffee del Cerro is often a vendor at the Johns Hopkins farmers market (open weekly on Thursdays…read moreand open to anyone!). I love the vision: ethically sourced coffee, bought straight from the family farm in Honduras. They offer many drinks, including a cold brew, regular hot coffee, and my favorite - horchata coffee. I can't wait to return to their stand at the Hopkins farmers market (probably on a weekly basis lol), and hope to see them elsewhere around Baltimore.

I'm so sad because I'm not sure what's happening. I was so excited that Broadway market was…read morerevamping a couple years ago. I know a lot of the renovations came right before Covid and unfortunately, some of the vendors did switch out. Most recently, however, to Taharka Brothers pulled out. That said: there are still solid vendors there. I love Thai Street and Mount Everest and Vickys and the new Polish restaurant that makes a really good stuffed cabbage. The plant store is probably my least favorite plant store in the city, but I hope they continue to invest into this marketplace because I love the convenience and some of the really great vendors.

I think this market could be successful if they put in more effort. It was a cute little market…read morethat I happened to stumble upon, but to my surprise, there wasn't much inside. I ate at a Thai food spot which was really yummy, but I was a little disappointed that there was nothing else really going on. I just think this market needs some work for the businesses to attract more customers.

Staff is slow and there's always an extremely long line that takes forever. The prices are INSANE…read more I think for a lot of items, whole foods is cheaper-which is CRAZY!!! It's unorganized and honestly, again, just stupidly expensive for what you're getting. Save yourself the time and find any other grocery store. The only benefit to this place that I can find is it's open till 11. Other than that, not worth your time!

I popped into Safeway recently after hanging in Canton for a bit…read more I roamed the aisles getting the items I needed, but some I didn't go for because they were exorbitantly priced. The issues started at self-checkout. I wanted to remove an item, but that required customer assistance. There were 4 (not 1, not 2, not 3, BUT 4) Safeway employees standing nearby and NOT ONE OF THEM even looked in my direction. I stayed in place for a while before getting frustrated and decided to leave all the things right at self-checkout. However, self-checkout is blocked in...and so are other areas in this store. As I was attempting an exit near the front of the store, something beeped at me when I approached some mechanical arms. Eventually the arms opened and I was able to leave, but what is even going on at this grocery store??? Really glad I don't live in Canton because I wouldn't want this to be one of my primary stores.

So, I was looking for some turkish products like pepper paste, bulgur, maybe some turkish desserts…read more The closest turkish store to downtown is about 30 min drive, and as someone who doesn't have a car, the cost of uber doesn't justify going all the way there. I saw this store nearby and I wasn't sure if it would have the products I am looking for. So before I went there, I called and asked. The owner was really nice, answered the phone and checked the products for me and that they have it available. I quickly went and got the products. They are reasonably priced. If you are turkish and in need of some basics and leave close to downtown, try this store before going 30 min drive to other turkish stores. There is a chance you may find what you are looking for.

Amazing grocery place. They have a lot international food…read moreincluding Persian and Arab food. From their collection I was able to find Sadaf products (US based high quality Iranian brand that sells Persian food), dough (Persian drinks and other yogurt based Persian drinks, Persian treats and even saffron. They have also lots of arabic brand food such as Roni (canned juice with pulps) that is amazingly yummy, european chocolates and variety of international cookies. There are frozen ready food of both ethnicity as well offered in this place. These are the unique products in this store but they also have a whole lot of generic food that one can find at any grocery store. They have a limited variety of produce so i would not recommend to go here for vegetables and fruits more than tomato, onion, and bell pepper.

Was looking for some affordable local flavors. This was a cool spot…read more AMBIANCE: Parking: Street parking for the most part, typical for this part of town. Seating: Indoor seating with room for about 20 people inside the market. Vibes: You're right in the heart of Old Town / Fells Point -- the touristy but charming part of Baltimore. I dig the vintage brick roads, the historic feel, and the mix of locals and visitors passing through. The space sits inside a lively market (1640 Aliceanna St) with that true Baltimore seafood vibe -- casual, approachable, and full of movement. It's not fine dining; it's flavor-first, no-nonsense, and welcoming. Great for a quick grab-and-go or to sit down for a casual meal. FOOD/DRINKS: Crab Soup (A-Ok) Simple but hearty. It reminded me of a tomato-based soup with crab mixed in -- nothing too fancy, but warm and satisfying. I appreciated the richness and good amount of crab meat. I'm more of a clam chowder fan, so next time I might go that route, but this was still solid. CUSTOMER SERVICE: Quick, friendly, and efficient. The staff clearly know what they're doing and keep things moving without losing that personal touch. TL; DR OVERALL: 4 Stars. Good prices, solid flavors, and a classic Baltimore seafood feel. Sal and Son's Seafood isn't flashy, but it's genuine -- a go-to for a comforting bowl and a true local experience. I'll be back to try their other dishes next time I'm in the area. TIPS: * Check what's on special -- they rotate and have plenty of combo options.

The food at Sal and Sons is very good. The only reason I'm giving it 4 stars instead of 5 is…read morebecause our fries were cold. It's probably because one meal was simple (crab cake sandwich, fries), and the other may have taken longer to cook to order (shrimp and chicken jambalaya). Otherwise, we were absolutely satisfied with the food. The crab cake sandwich was on point. The creamy crab soup was flavorful, creamy, and worth every bite. The shrimp and chicken jambalaya was also executed well. Also, I highly recommend trying the fresh fruit drinks. We got watermelon and pineapple, and "refreshing" doesn't begin to describe how good they were. The service was straightforward and to the point, which works for me. The establishment is located inside of a market. We went on a Sunday, so this was one of the few eateries open. I'm imagining that it is probably more jumping on other days. If I'm in Baltimore again, I'll definitely consider visiting again and exploring more of the menu.

She really helped me out after the January 2026 snow storm after ice had formed around my vehicle.

I popped in and did some wandering on a recent morning, and was super impressed not only with their awesome selection of flavored olive oils (with plenty of free samples available!) but their wide array of kitchen accessories, cookbooks, specialty groceries, and pretty much anything you could ever need to up your cooking game. If I wasn't traveling carry-on, I would definitely have picked up some new gadgets!

The selection is incredible. So many teas and spices that it's almost overwhelming in a good way. Everything is displayed in glass jars, and you can smell each one, which makes the whole experience feel interactive and fun instead of rushed or generic. I ended up buying way more than planned: multiple types of paprika (smoked sweet, smoked hot), several garlic salts, truffle salt, seasonings for myself, and a whole assortment of teas for my mom plus a few for me because obviously. Every blend smelled amazing, and the quality feels top tier. This is the kind of store where you could easily spend an hour just wandering, sniffing, and dreaming up meals. I'll absolutely be back. I also recently found out there's a location closer to me in Lancaster, so that one is officially on my list too. If you cook, love tea, or need a gift that actually feels thoughtful, this place is a must-stop.

Hence I landed on coffee crusher. Truth be told I have had 2 coffee beverages already, so by far more so out of curiosity.

The people who worked there were upbeat and personable, which always makes it a treat.

Undeniably one of the highlights of my recent Baltimore trip.
