Our food took about 20 minutes to arrive which is awhile and since no one ever stopped by in that time we started to wonder if they forgot us. I would like to come back and try other things.

The good prices and generous portions are just the ribbon on the prize. The dinner, I had the veal cutlet. Wow. The veal was the size of my head, and cooked just right. The gravy had just the right consistency. Breakfast on Saturday was an early one, and I had the country fried steak. Again, perfectly cooked and full of flavor. Sunday breakfast I tried the chipped beef. It had ALL the flavor and wasn't gritty tasting like some other diners. The service is ALWAYS friendly and fast, I've never had to wait for a seat, and my food comes out piping hot. The coffee is always fresh and they leave plenty of creamer. Parking is a little tight but not insane. Last but not least, they bring the check in a reasonable amount of time. I hate waiting forever for the check. The restaurant is clean, and brightly painted. There is also counter seating if you're flying solo. Definitely a place with local color, I think I found my new favorite spot on the Dundalk/Essex side of town!!!

We also grabbed an order of their super skinny and crispy french fries. The total with drinks came to around the mid $40s (before tip) and the customer service was friendly and helpful, as well as a bonus short wait for the food. Everything was delicious. They also offer a great variety of sandwiches and drinks at brunch and a great seasonal menu. Absolutely worth your time if you are in the area and looking for great atmosphere, reasonable prices, and fantastic service.

We had a miscommunication during my order and when food came out, she quickly realized the problem. I want to give her praise because before we could even talk about who might have made the mistake, a corrected order was already sent to the kitchen.

I don't usually do breakfast places twice but I would come back for the service and food.We ordered the following: Happy face pancake: 8/10 - she wished it was a little crispier but very good. Half and half: 9/10 - good and sweet Crab hash: 10/10 - phenomenal! I added Queso fresco Old fashioned: 8/10 good and strong! Mimi (manager I believe) checked on us often. Martina is the highlight.

As soon as we sat down we were offered a cinnamon roll- this was a special treat as we had given ourself a goal of finding a delicious cinnamon roll over the weekend. OMG was that a good choice! We split it 4 ways which allowed us each to have the experience while still having room for the rest of breakfast . The rest of the meal was equally marvelous- in particular the scrapple (IYKYK) was perfectly prepared and crispy on the outside and soft inside. The decor was funky- it was only a few weeks before Halloween and so I'm not sure whether some of the spooky aspects were Halloween or every day- whatever it is- it works! We have longitudinal ties to Baltimore (at least for the next 4 years) so we will be back!

You seat yourself, scan a QR code for the menu, and a server comes by to take your order. I skipped the famous Captain Crunch French Toast and ordered the Sweet Baby Jesus: crispy hash browns topped with crab, Old Bay, cheddar cheese, eggs, and hollandaise. Honestly, it felt like a crab eggs Benedict with hash browns instead of English muffins. The presentation was lackluster, and the combination of Old Bay, cheese, and hollandaise didn't quite work for me. It was edible, but not something I'd order again. The small space creates an unspoken eat-and-leave atmosphere, which is understandable but not ideal for larger groups looking to linger. I wouldn't say I'll never return, but after this experience, I won't be rushing back anytime soon.

This is the sort of place that makes you feel at home from the moment you arrive. And, for someone who's been several times, I now feel like family. If you're looking for an unhurried coffee served on a silver tray, get their Ethiopian coffee service. If you're looking for a good coffee to go, they've got that, too. If you want breakfast, you're in the right place, and you can try more than the usual diner fare or avocado toast. There are a few Ethiopian dishes for lunch, too, with fantastic injera that is flown in daily from Ethiopia. If you want a special Ethiopian dish that's not on the menu, they may be able to make it with some notice. The coffee house has a small shop with Ethiopian coffee, incense, and trinkets from their homeland. It's a special place run by genuinely kind people who care about sharing their love of their homeland through their food and the way they treat customers. Don't miss it.

I was worried that it would be overpriced and overhyped, but that most definitely wasn't the case. I first went on a Friday morning right when the crab dipped bagel was ready. There were a few people in line already bc they only let 6 people in a time. I thought it would be a mad dash to get the pastries before they ran out, but I've been several times since and they've always had plenty in stock, even when the line is down the block on the weekends (think ~30-40 minute wait). Okay onto the food itself! The crab dipped bagel is the star of the show. Such a unique, Maryland coded option. There is plenty of crab and the combo of crab, cream cheese, and cheddar really hits. It is pretty decadent, so I'd recommend splitting it with someone so you can also try the other pastries! I've tried a variety of their pastries and they're all amazing. You really can't go wrong!
