    2-2-2 with French toast
    Lulu T.

    We wanted brunch at a new spot, so we decided to check out Spoons, it had been on my list. Its a small space, so we had to be placed on a waitlist, which was not a problem. The restaurant had soft lighting, you hear conversations. We both ordred the 2-2-2, I got the french toast and he got the pancakes. The customer service was ok, it could have been better. Our waitress didn't introduce herself to us, which is something that I am used to at all the places I have been to. The food was also ok, nothing really stood out. We may go and try other items on the menu.

    Our party of three dropped in for Sunday Brunch. This popular spot had a waiting list. It was a 40 minutes wait, not too bad. We ordered ham Benedict with potatoes, fried chicken & pimento cheese biscuit, Cinnamon roll pancakes,and everything biscuit with bacon, fried chicken, fried egg, and sausage gravy. Foods came out fast. Everything were cooked to perfection. Everything tasted delicious. But the stand out dish was the cinnamon roll pancake with maple coffee glaze. Tablet service was friendly and attentive. Prices were fair for such high quality foods. Parking on the street only. We will definitely return with our next trip to Baltimore.

    Best Fried Oysters on Grits with mushroom bacon flavors. Yum!

    Fantastic brunch. Came on Sunday to celebrate our 25 yr old. Apple Cider Mimosa in a carafe, yum for a Fall day. Pistachio white chocolate latte, so creamy and luscious. And OMG Fried Oysters on grits with a mushroom/bacon sauce something. They were fried to perfection and everything was so great. We sat upstairs where there was lots of space and admired the amazing art work on the walls. Our server was very helpful and help us with some recommendations. Will be back.

    Spoons is cute, quaint, delicious and the staff are friendly and quick. It's got all the best breakfast staples like 2 eggs, 2 slices of whatever breakfast meat you want and 2 pancakes to omelettes and sandwiches and Benedicts. We got a few items to try and the bacon was crispy, and the pancakes are fluffy, and my veggie Benedict was very standard and very good. I liked how the fruit was cut up nice and small and came with a variety. The best item is the biscuit which came out warm and fluffy and tasted so yummy with the butter packets. My orange juice tasted freshly squeezed and overall it was an excellent breakfast!

    I haven't been to Spoons in a couple of years and I ventured out for brunch on this past Sunday. This time I did the Hangtown dish (fried oysters over soft cheese/bacon eggs with a side of grits) and Cinnamon Pancakes. I ordered the mushroom bacon gravy to pour over the eggs and grits. They cinnamon roll pancakes are always a hit! They really do know how to prepare frier oysters, lord they never miss! Good for a brunch date! The service was fast and attentive! I love the staff they were amazing. This was a whole vibe!

    Honey cinnamon oat milk latte

    Spoons is a solid brunch spot in Fed Hill! It is located in Fed Hill next to Cross Street Market. We came here on Saturday morning. It seems the wait time can be long but we just sat at the bar since there was no wait. For drinks we got: Red Velvet Mocha - delicious, smooth and creamy but not too sweet Honey Cinnamon Oatmilk Latte - Also delicious with the right amount of spice For food we got the: Fried oyster and grits - yummy! Fried oyster had a great texture to it and wasn't too greasy Risotto Benedict - so good, poached eggs and prosciutto on top of two crispy fried risottos! I would get this again! Deep Fried sweet Cream French Toast - I would steer clear of this dish, unless you can handle greasy funnel cakes at carnivals. This dish was just fried up dough, butter and cream. Way too oily and sweet, I couldn't take more than one bite... Aside from the French Toast our brunch experience was great. The staff and bartenders were incredibly friendly and service was great! I would come back to try their Breakfast Sandwich or Burrito!

    Stuffed french toast, home fries and mimosas
    Pamela M.

    After a long 7-hour drive, we stopped by Spoons Café for breakfast, and the food did not disappoint! We had the stuffed French toast, home fries, and mimosas, all of which were delicious. The service was also relatively fast. One thing we really appreciated was that the café wasn't crowded, making it a nice, quiet space to enjoy our meal and have conversations without too much background noise. Unfortunately, our experience was affected by poor service. Our waiter forgot one of our orders and, instead of addressing the mistake professionally, was rude to us. I waited for my friend's food to arrive before eating, and by then, mine had gone cold. It was disappointing, especially because the food itself was great. If you're looking for a quiet spot with good breakfast options, this place is worth checking out--just hope for better service!

    Fried Oysters and Grits
    Nikki Z.

    What a neat place to enjoy a delicious breakfast. Went with my mom on a windy Wednesday. She enjoyed her organic hot chamomile tea, while I was blown away by the Vermonter - 2 shots of espresso mixed with steam milk and maple syrup. Fried Oysters & Grits was a surprise. You don't see this on many menus so I had to try it. The mushroom was a great compliment to the grits. My mom didn't like it because she said "it's too much mushroom" which was perfectly fine with me. She had their popular Cinnamon Roll Pancakes. Very very very sweet, so be prepared. They were able to figure out how to turn a Cinnabon into pancake form and still hit all the flavor profile. The server was helpful, answering any of our questions and had helpful recommendations. The food and drinks came out in a timely manner and was still hot. Spoons Cafe is nestled in the heart of Federal Hill. There is parking on the street, or a garage nearby. There is limited seating, so there is a sign at each table requesting a 90 minute time if it happens to be busy. Inside is a little dim and it's cozy.

    Fancy AF Sandwich

    Spoons Café - A Cozy Neighborhood Gem in Federal Hill Spoons Café in Federal Hill was a pleasant local find with a great neighborhood vibe. It was a rainy Monday, and we were heading home after a Ravens game. We always try to live like a local in Baltimore, so Spoons it was! Their coffee and espresso drinks were fantastic--strong, smooth, and guaranteed to caffeinate you. The food? Just as impressive. Service was solid, and despite being a small spot with only a dozen tables, it was packed--especially for a Monday. Here's what we ordered: * Fancy AF Breakfast Sandwich - It lived up to the name--fancy and solid! * Granola Parfait - My better half went the healthy route after indulging in all my tailgating food. * Challah French Toast - My kids split this, and judging by their empty plates, it was a total hit. Great coffee, great food, great local spot--we'll definitely be back!

    Food taste ok however we where giving expired condiments.

    Food was good however we giving expired mustard. The server was apologetic. Nice restaurant just check your condiments

    I absolutely love coming here. My go to Beal is "the beast". The customer service is always top tier. The food is always hot and fresh. It's not really spacious on the inside, but I always have an interment experience.

    Deep - Fried Sweet Cream Stuffed French Toast
    Xavier I.

    (Updated rating) We were seated pretty quickly but took like 10 minutes for a server to come but once they came along the service was pretty solid. I had the 2-2-2 with pancakes, scrambled eggs, and sausage Patties and I also had the deep fried sweet cream stuffed French toast. 2-2-2 pancakes, sausage Pattie's, scrambled eggs (2.5/5): the 2-2-2 was pretty average for the most. The pancakes were okay, The eggs were standard, and the sausage Pattie were solid. I definitely wouldn't get it again tho. Deep fried sweet cream stuffed French toast (4.5/5): the stuffed French toast was very good. I have been on an ongoing mission to find the best stuffed French toast since ihop sadly got rid of them but these are the 2nd best l've had after ihop of course. Spoons' sweet cream stuffed French toast was pretty filling as well and I would definitely recommend it and return for it in the future.

    Does the cafe have outdoor dining?

    Yes they do! It's on the street but it was covered.

    Is Spoons handicap accessible? I remember a step up to get in the door, but are there stairs inside?

    We have a portable not a permanent wheelchair ramp to get inside the building. There are no steps inside.

    Was in Baltimore for just a day to celebrate a friend and had the most amazing brunch here…read more There are no reservations so you wanna get there early to put your name down. It was a cold day so our wait for 4 people was short, but I'd imagine that in the summer it's longer. Overall the restaurant itself is small but super cute. I loved the decor and the layout. We went with the mimosa sampler which had 3 juices and a bottle of Prosecco. I liked the passion fruit juice and my friends loved the lavender flavor. We shared the peach cobble French toast as a starter because it sounded too good to pass up. And it was amazing! Legit some of the best French toast that I've ever had. For my main dish, I had the short rib hash and it was also delicious. The short rib was tender and flavorful. The creme fraise and the peppers really set it off. Service was also good, we had a very attentive waitress. Plus the music was good vibes. I'd definitely come back when in Baltimore

    Easy Like Sunday lives up to its name. Came here for brunch on a busy Sunday and even though they…read moredo not take reservations, the wait was only around 20 minutes. The place was clearly popular but the staff handled the crowd really well. Service was great from start to finish. Everyone was welcoming, attentive, and the food and drinks came out at a good pace. The drinks were a highlight. We ordered a mimosa flight with a few different flavors and it was a fun way to start brunch. All of them were light, refreshing, and not overly sweet. Food was equally strong. One dish came with eggs, toast, and a veggie mix topped with avocado and cheese that was full of flavor. The Monte Cristo was also excellent. Perfectly crisp, lightly sweet from the powdered sugar, and great with the jam on the side. Great vibe, tasty drinks, and solid brunch food. Definitely worth the visit if you are looking for a good brunch spot.

    I've recently started working in the area and they are supper close thus I decided to try them out…read more I was very excited when I saw it was Korean owned however their K-food section is only two items; Bulgogi Dupbap & the Bulgogi Sub. The rest of the menu is American stuff. I've as of now tried both of these and very content with the taste and filling of these two, the price is reasonable per the portion and yummyness($12.49) plus tax about $13.25. The only thing I would change a bit is making sure that the juice from the bulgogi doesn't soak the bread too much cuz then it's mushy. I like a crunchy texture to my subs, but the may be just my preference. Both the son and the mom are super nice, if you become a regular it's very nice to have people know what you want right away. The atmosphere is very warm and friendly. I hope that they can incorporate more korean food to their menu, at least 2 more that have a different protein so we have a bit more variety. Though I understand why the options for kfood are limited given the area's population. Things to keep in mind: - When you order let them know if you want it to go or to eat there. Nobody can read minds, but they will do their best to ask you prior to packaging to confirm. - It can get busy so sometimes transaction may take longer because people are multitasking. - - - Don't rip out the receipt, you might be taking the wrong copy. Wait for the cashier to hand it to you or simply ask. -If you have questions about a product, ask them and don't assume. Yes. There is a big menu and pamphlets available and they provide brief item description but if that's not clear, just ask. They also have prepackaged salads, fruit and a few sweet treats, along with MissVickies chips, and bottle drinks. It's a cafe so the basics. Overall, really nice experience. Tots recommended :3

    Solid Experience, But I Miss the Old Owner…read more Café on the Square is a reliable spot with decent food and a cozy atmosphere. The service was good, and the dishes were tasty, but nothing that really stood out. That being said, I miss the old owner--there was something special about his presence that made every visit feel more welcoming and personal. I hope the new management keeps things moving in the right direction. I'll definitely return, but it's just not quite the same without the old vibe.

I had the Southern Slammer Sandwich (with the grits) and my sister had the Fried Chicken, Biscuit and Gravy Omelet (with the hash browns). We couldn't stop saying how good they were! The service was on point, everyone was very nice, and the noise level was fine. Here is something I literally have never experienced anywhere else: My sister has a couple of food allergies and she gave the waitress a piece of paper where she listed out what she can and cannot have. A few minutes later, a lovely young woman (I think she said she was a manager) came out and discussed the list with my sister in detail, just to make sure the restaurant got it exactly right. My sister almost cried! As far as timing goes: They don't take reservations, but they have an efficient system -- when you arrive, they take down your name and phone number, tell you how long the wait will be, and then text you when it's your turn. They told us 40 minutes but it turned out to be only 20, so it's good we hadn't wandered too far away. Next time we're in Baltimore, we'll definitely be back.
