I've been on the hunt for a good cafe to work from close to the federal hill area and finally…read morestumbled upon Koba! The first thing that jumped out at me when I walked in was how reasonable the prices are. I ordered an iced coffee and paid less than $3 which I loved! There are lots of fun drink options ranging from smoothies, your typical coffee drinks, and frozen coffee drinks. I saw some other customers order food and I'll have to try that next because it looked nice and fresh. The baristas were so friendly too. There are two floors to the cafe. The second floor seemed to be the "work" floor when I was there. There were plenty of people doing work on their laptops and hanging out. I can see myself coming here to work a lot in the future :)

What a great cafe in Hampden. It was busy over the weekend when I came. Waited in line for a while…read morebefore I was able to order the Honey Bunches latte and a Morning Bun pastry to go. The latte was delicious and the bun tasted similar to a Kouignaman. It was full of cinnamon and flaky - a great pastry! Service seemed friendly at this casual place.

This was my first visit and unfortunately they were out of bread and potatoes which definitely…read morechanged what I was going to order. I ended up with the bacon, egg, and cheese burrito. I didn't want too much spice so I asked for the salsa on the side. It turns out the burrito had chopped jalapeños in it which wasn't listed on the menu in the ingredients. In the grand scheme of things that's not that big a deal but when a burrito and a coffee end up costing $29 it is. I also ordered the iced orange cardamom latte which was my favorite part of this whole visit. In terms of service the person working the register was nice, but that's where it ended. I found another staff member to be rude when asking for a simple request such as a cup of ice. If you'd like to stay here and get some work done they do validate your parking which is nice but if you're working on the weekends they limit laptop use to a community table at the front of the restaurant. Overall, not the best experience but I'd return another day hoping I can try more of the menu and that the customer service is slightly better.

I don't remember the exact name of the sandwich, but it was full of meat and absolutely wonderful, exactly what I needed. When you're done slip into Jeppi's in the same complex and grab some chocolate, popcorn or candy!!

This place was a pleasant surprise that I stumbled upon after making a wrong turn...or rather, a…read morefew wrong turns coming off the interstate. Essentially I was looking for a gas station where I could stop, refresh myself, and grab a snack, but instead I found Baltimore Coffee, and I'm glad I did. As a tea girly, I absolutely loved this place! They have an impressive selection of coffees, teas, and hot chocolates, along with handmade mugs, Oakley sourced honey and assorted snacks, as well as a variety of accessories for the coffee and tea enthusiasts in your life. They also sell whole bean coffee that they'll grind upon request. In addition to the drinks and retail items, they offer breakfast sandwiches, an assortment of sandwiches and salads, and a few entrées. I ended up ordering the chicken salad sandwich with cranberries and walnuts on sourdough toast. Even though I don't like walnuts, this was still a really good chicken salad sandwich. It was a decent size for the price, and I left satisfied. The staff were all incredibly friendly and welcoming, which only added to the experience. There are a few diagonal parking spaces in front of the building, and I believe there's additional parking around back as well. Sometimes the best finds happen by accident, and that's just what happened here. I'm happy I got the chance to check this place out and would definitely stop in again if I'm passing through the area.

It's crazy that this coffee shop used to be a ski shop and I'm not sure why it took me so long to try. But, I'm so glad I did and I can't wait to go back again soon!

Highly recommended and very easy to find.

I highly recommend the breakfast sandwich, I've gotten it over 5 times now and it's consistently so good! My favorite drink so far is the banana bread latte. They also have seasonal drinks and specials (last month they had a dot cake latte). They even have whipped cream cups for dogs. Love this place and will continue to support!

The staff was super welcoming-- we really appreciated the "guess the color game" and the subsequent 10% off card (which I will definitely take advantage of the next time I'm in town). The iced latte special was just sweet though that it didn't overpower the coffee itself. Morning Mugs is walking distance to several museums and local businesses, and is definitely worth a stop if you're visiting from out of town like we were.
