I chose a hot carrot cake latte with oatmilk, a blueberry breadpudding muffin topped with almonds and a corned beef on house made sode bread. I enjoyed absolutely everything. The sode bread added much unique flavor; however, the sandwich crumbled as its biscuit texture absorbed some of the juices from the cheese/sauerkraut/corned beef. Definitely a mountain of mouth watering flavor. The staff are so warming and gentle all that match the environment for a complete relaxed vibe. Ill be sad on Mondays as they unwind with being off from serving up great goodness throughout the week. Check them out Tuesday thru Sunday you should not regrret.

Continuing on my list of coffee shops, I tried The Reister's Daughter in Reisterstown, MD. This…read moreplace was great. We met some friends and were able to find both parking and a table. I had a mocha latte and this Iranian Chocolate Pop-Tart thing that was awesome.... I really need to start taking pictures of my food and these places. The ambiance is that of a coffee house but this coffee house is an old historic building with natural wood floors and big windows. The layout is convenient for having a mix of seating and the volume was such that we could hear our party but not feel like we were screaming. The coffee was good. the people friendly, the snacks (ok not a meal but too much to ignore from the experience) the snacks were delightful. My wife almost ate half of my Pop-tart it was so good. Ok, this one gets a definite try, the locals seemed to like it, it was close-ish to Columbia, and worth checking out.

The provolone, the bacon, the egg, meld great with the mustard aioli. The fabulous bread is top notch. What A Day's service is phenomenal. Often, I am told my points' balance and asked if I want to use them. From ordering to handing my bag through the window, the timing is always 5 minutes. My order is always accurate. I'm not a coffee drinker, so I can't comment on that. The new Winter Flavors intrigued me though. Leaving out the espresso, I tried the Smores in a Hot Chocolate version. It was good!

I've been coming to JeannieBird for a number of years, spanning back to when the dearly departed…read moreJeannie was still running the business. It's not only a joy to see the business still enjoying good success, but to also taste the enhanced skill of the bakers here. Make no doubt about it, the croissant here are authentic and delicious. Just the right amount of butter to bring out their savory character, with just a kiss of natural sweetness. The ham and Gruyère is an absolute pleasure. They have actual content; not just a tease of baked in ingredients. The financier were also perfect! I'm very much looking forward to seeing any additional Parisian pastries added to their counter. The traditional stars of their menu remain outstanding: the iced tea and sweet potato biscuits. While JeannieBird isn't always on my way to my usual destinations, this business is always worth a special trip.

Apparently, if two different people use the register somehow the orders are not known about and therefore you stand around and wait so make sure the person running the register is who actually takes your order.

We ordered take out from Little Georgia for the first time on Saturday. We've been to Georgia, and…read morelove Georgian food, so we were super excited to try it out! We ordered the khinkali, the eggplant with walnuts, and sacivi. Our favorite by far, was the khinkali. The flavor was awesome, there was plenty of broth, and they were huge (and just like we had in Georgia). The eggplant with walnuts was good as well (though honestly there's nothing like the eggplants (omg or tomatoes) in Georgia!) The savici was also really good, however the portion size was tiny. It was barely a thigh in an entire container and one of the small pieces was just fatty skin, while another piece was cartilage. Overall, we'll head back for the khinkali! We also want to go in person next time because we heard there was a great wine menu and Georgian wines are delicious!

Little Georgia is a haven if you're looking for authentic Georgian cuisine. The restaurant is…read moremassive, and is decorated with traditional Georgian garments and beautiful scenery paintings. They offer Georgian beer and sodas, and the food is incredible. I highly recommend both the adjarouli and khinkali. My own complaint would be that the servers aren't that personable. They almost act annoyed that you are there. We ordered drinks and when they were brought to the table I asked for some water and was brought an entire pitcher of water, but no glasses. So I guess we were expected to chug our drinks and then refill the glasses with water.

It looks to be a pretty unique place and obviously VERY popular with cyclists who were constantly arriving. I didn't go in, but DD brought out a decaf mocha and it was absolutely delicious!! She bought some ice cream, SIL had a coffee, and there was a cocoa to be shared by DGS & DGD. DD tells me everything is done by hand, no fancy espresso machines! DD said the cocoa seemed very dark so she allowed DGD to grab packets of sugar to add. DD said it was "pretty good" after adding 2. Ample, free parking and wifi (but since I didn't have the password, can't attest to how good it is.). I will say on verizon network I had that tiny, first bar and mostly it was 3G! So don't expect cell reception here.

Coffee Beanery in Owings Mills is my daily go‑to spot -- truly my favorite takeout place ever --…read moreand the reason is simple: Farouk and his incredible team. Every day, I order my caramel crunch swirl drink with whipped cream and an extra shot of espresso, plus both a mango smoothie and a strawberry‑banana smoothie. Their drinks are exceptional -- and their smoothies are honestly the best I've ever had anywhere. I recognized Farouk the very first day I walked in, even before I knew why. He used to serve me at Rita's across the street, and he's one of those rare lights of a human you never forget -- not because of what they say, but because of how they make you feel. When he looked up and said, "How are you, my friend? I used to serve you at Rita's!" everything clicked. He remembers my name. He remembers my complicated daily order to the letter. He greets me with warmth every single time -- even when I walk in two minutes before closing. And unlike so many places these days, he never shows irritation or rushes me. He makes me feel valued. One night, I accidentally called 30 minutes after they had already closed -- and Farouk still answered the phone, cheerfully, by name, and took my order anyway. Only after confirming it would be ready did he gently mention their Sunday hours. He still insisted I come pick it up. That kind of customer service is almost unheard of today. There's also Yani, who is shy but incredibly talented. She listens with her whole heart and makes drinks that feel like little works of art. She puts genuine care into every cup. And the kindness doesn't stop there. I've been surprised with freebie drinks when there was extra smoothie mix, offered a mistaken drink for free, and even had two drinks remade after I dropped them in the parking lot. Farouk saw it happen, took the empty cups from my hands, and recreated them without hesitation. Moments like these create customers for life. Coffee Beanery deserves a solid 5 stars across every platform. ---

Interesting K cups for sale!! Eggnog, strawberry rhubarb, and other flavors you won't see elsewhere. Gone is the cherry coffee. And breakfast was 24 dollars for a coffee and flat croissant. I wanted the fluffy one with chocolate and pistachio but they got the order wrong and I got the flat, moist bottomed, sugar topped with artificial crusties that they call knaifev and I suspect is a phyllo dough crunchy. No bagels now (there is a bagel place in the complex). Coffee was ok. Took a while for the serve and sit for a regular coffee. Still lots of potential. They are trying. And for convenience, or before or after a soldiers delight hike it hits the spot just right.
