    Flavoured Latte
    Matt B.

    Good cafe brunch spot! I went here for a casual meal into this small shop. There are tables for small groups both inside and outside. The staff there seemed like a family that was very friendly and welcoming. The sandwich was satisfying and the coffee was superb. They even gave me a complimentary cookie to go with the coffee. I really enjoyed it and would definitely at least go back for the coffee to try again.

    Love this little spot! The recent remodel looks wonderful. The service is always accommodating and extra friendly. My avocado, egg and cheese on a highly recommended English muffin, was delicious! Oh and the coffee is on point too!

    Coffee Shop No. 500 The Perfect Blend Cafe Fredrick, MD April 18, 2025 I had limited time and The Perfect Blend was two blocks out of my way which means I would be adding four extra blocks to my trip. I know it doesn't sound like much but when you are cramming multiple cortados into a couple of hours the caffeine and the steps add up quickly. Thankfully, as I scrolled through The Perfect Blend's Google reviews I noticed they used Julius Meinl Coffee. Every cafe I've visited that uses Julius Meinl Coffee serves delicious espresso drinks. I knew I had to make the journey. When I arrived at The Perfect Blend I noticed they were only a few minutes away from closing up shop. I poked my head in and asked if they were still serving espresso drinks. The gentleman at the counter smiled broadly and said, "Of course. Come in and enjoy." The barista created an extraordinary cortado then invited me to stay and enjoy the shop even though they were about to close. The Perfect Blend makes its home on the first floor of the Francis Key Scott Apartments located in a national historic district. I enjoyed people watching and feeling thankful for the lovely couple who made feel at home as I sipped on a perfectly crafted cortado. Enjoying life one cortado at a time!

    This place is on the bottom of an office building so you wouldn't think it's good but it's a hidden gem. I got a ham egg and cheese English muffin with a coffee and it was great. From the service I got going in to me eating the food everything was great. This is definitely a great mom and pops shop that I will be returning to.

    We were on the highway, Yelped lunch, and found this place. It's very convenient- right around the corner from the parking garage. It took us a second to find the entrance- it's one of several places inside the old Francis Scott Key Hotel. Seating is at a premium in the actual cafe, but there are several more tables in the lovely and spacious air-conditioned lobby. The staff are friendly and welcoming, and got our food out licketty-split. I ordered the California Turkey Club as a wrap in a tossed red pepper tortilla. It was delicious, with the meat, cheese, and lettuce in just the right proportions, and came with a wedge of orange which was a nice touch. Anywhere else I would have given the sandwich 10/10, but here it suffered from comparison to my Bride's sandwich. She got the Turkey Pesto Panini with Avocado. The sandwich was immense! My darling Bride literally chortled and clapped her hands in delight. I was hoping I would have to help her finish it, but no dice- one bite was what I got. I wholeheartedly concur with her assessment- "they got the flavour balance *perfect* and the cheese pull was like something out of a dream." We may stop here again on the trip home just for one of those to call my own. We both made our sandwiches into lunch combos- for $2.99 you get a bag of chips and a beverage. We opted for a coffee and a can of Dr. Pepper. When the lady asked me how I take my coffee, I said "seriously. Very seriously." I needn't have worried- it was an amazing cup! Turns out it's Julius Meinl, and they import it all the way from Vienna. I ended up buying a kilo bag to take home. It cost more than lunch, and I'm not even sorry. Our lunch came to $30 before tip, and was worth every penny. Highly recommended!

    Love this little shop! The bacon egg and cheese on English muffin was so good! We got to pick which type of cheese we wanted, and they used real egg & bacon - yum! The shop is very small, but very cute, and the service was very quick at 10AM on a Monday! We will be back!

    Before going, I read all the reviews saying they had great breakfast sandwiches and I was not disappointed. I ordered online for an easy experience and my food is ready as soon as I got there I got a sausage, egg and cheese breakfast sandwich on a croissant and added avocado-- which was totally worth it! They add a ton of avocado. The sandwich was delicious and it was still warm when I picked it up. I love how they fried the egg. It was almost over medium. I also got a large iced latte with lavender. I like how on their online ordering system, you can write comments, so I was able to specify the amount of lavender syrup I wanted. They finished off my drink and added ice when I got there to ensure the ice didn't melt and water down the drink while they're waiting for me to arrive. Would highly recommend getting food to go from here! They have a small seating area and it's a cute ambience. There was someone playing music on the piano in there. On a nice day, you could also easily find a place to eat your food outside along the creek!

    My friend and I walked in and immediately felt so welcome. I ordered a drink first and went back up later for a sandwich, and the barista remembered my name. It wasn't only me, but every customer that I watched while I was there was treated like family. Everything we ordered was amazing. My friend would recommend the piña colada smoothie and I would recommend the chicken caesar wrap! (Forgot to take pics sorry...)

    On a super busy Saturday morning, we were thrilled to find ourselves in front of The Perfect Blend Cafe and we were able to stop in get some hot bevs and sit for a minute. The woman working was incredibly friendly and welcoming. The hot chocolate was wonderful (and you can order "kid temp" to get it drink-able) with whip cream. The menu looked tasty, so we may visit for a snack next time we're in town.

    This is my favorite coffee shop/cafe in Frederick. They have a lot of flavored latte options which I love--the sea salt caramel and honey caramel are too of my favorites. And I'm obsessed with the veggie bagel (pictured). It's SO good. I haven't tried their other options bc I love this sandwich so much, but I've heard their other food is also great! There's limited seating but more tables/chairs in the hallway and outside. The staff are so nice and the service is quick.

We wanted a memorable place to mark the occasion and chose Showroom. I even noted both celebrations when making our reservation a week in advance. The hostess was friendly and kind, although clearer direction on where to wait would have helped. The front entrance was congested, and we felt like we were in everyone's way. Unfortunately, the service never matched the occasion. Our server never introduced themselves or acknowledged either celebration. They began taking orders without any engagement, and throughout the meal we were repeatedly unable to get their attention. I understand Sunday brunch is busy, but I work in a concierge-driven environment and was genuinely disappointed by the lack of hospitality. The food was mixed. The chicken and waffles and the omelet were good. My husband's steak was cold and the portion was very small. He ordered French fries but received unseasoned potatoes that lacked any flavor. My fish and chips were fine but also lacked seasoning, lemon, or any attention to detail. I specifically requested fries without Old Bay but received fries heavily coated in it. We also ordered a steak and eggs meal to go, which took about 30 minutes. When it was opened later, it contained only three small slices of steak. My brother-in-law genuinely thought he had been given someone's leftovers because the portion was so disappointing. My husband quietly paid the $300 bill while I still hoped someone might acknowledge the birthday or retirement with a simple mention, smile, or thank you. It never happened. We were never even offered a desert menu. We left without a goodbye or any acknowledgment from the staff. Disappointed doesn't begin to describe how we felt. We had many options in Frederick but chose Showroom because we expected a special experience. I could tell my family didn't want to complain because I had spoken so highly of the restaurant, but they were equally underwhelmed. Please do better.

Overall, it's a great restaurant and one I'd still recommend to anyone visiting or living in Frederick.

I had driven two hours and was hungry, but I was also committed to making good decisions. Or at least mostly good decisions... The hostess offered me a seat at the second-floor bar rather than the quoted 25-30 minute wait. Great! Solo diners love surprise upgrades. Unfortunately, when I got upstairs, the one "available" seat had apparently been claimed by a diaper bag and a giant straw sunhat belonging to the woman sitting next to it holding a too-little-to-walk baby sitting at the bar. Uhhh...this isn't going to work. Back downstairs I went. I gave them my name and number, found a shady spot outside, and settled in for what I assumed would be a long wait. Five minutes later, my table was ready. Thank you, Universe! My server greeted me with water immediately, explained the QR code menu situation, and told me not to order through the app because she'd be right back. No worries, friend. I'd already done my homework. I knew exactly what I wanted. One Martha Stewart's Prison Pizza ($22), please. (Sausage, broccoli, ricotta, Calabrian chili peppers, lemon oil, and sea salt.) I asked for the chili peppers on the side because I know myself. I like adventure. I don't enjoy possibly setting my mouth on fire. And a Diet Pepsi ($3.50), because balance. While I waited, I people-watched, which is one of my favorite hobbies. White Rabbit was PACKED. The patio was full. The downstairs bar was full. Upstairs was full. Couples, groups of girlfriends, older folks, younger folks, families, solo diners...everyone seemed happy to be there. The place itself is pretty small, which explains the wait. Six tables downstairs, maybe eight bar seats, more seating upstairs, and a constant dance of servers carrying food through the same front door customers use. Add the "please wait to be seated" crowd gathering in the narrow hallway and I'd describe things as organized chaos. But once I was seated, I was perfectly comfortable and out of the traffic pattern. One cool touch I noticed: outlets and USB ports built right into the front of the bar. Maybe that's common and I've somehow missed it all these years, but I thought it was pretty neat. Then my pizza arrived. Oh good lawd. OH. GOOD. LAWD. This pizza was SO GOOD! I knew from the first bite that I was in trouble. There was no sauce, which surprised me at first, but after approximately three seconds I no longer cared. The sausage was plentiful. The broccoli added texture. The ricotta was creamy and rich. And that lemon oil?! That lemon oil set it off! Everything just worked together perfectly. The Calabrian peppers arrived on the side exactly as requested. I bravely sampled a very small amount on my fork before desecrating my pizza and quickly determined that folks with stronger heat tolerance than me will absolutely love them. They were just a little too spicy for my delicate tastebuds. Thankfully, the pizza was incredible without them. And those slices? MONSTERS. I ate one and seriously contemplated a second before reminding myself that I had dessert plans elsewhere. A box was requested. Self-control was exercised. Barely. As a solo diner, I also want to give White Rabbit extra points. Multiple staff members checked on me throughout the meal. I never felt forgotten, rushed, or weird sitting by myself. Everyone was warm, kind, and made me feel completely comfortable. I really appreciated that. My total bill came to $32.44 including tip which felt really reasonable given the amount of pizza I consumed and brought home. Worth every penny. I'm already scheming my next two-hour drive back. Maybe a smashburger. Maybe those Brussels sprouts everyone keeps raving about. Maybe another pizza. Maybe all of it! I highly recommend checking out White Rabbit. Make it a destination, not just a stop while you're in the area. Don't let the size of the place or the wait scare you off. It's totally worth it. PRO TIP: If you park in the Church Street Parking Garage, look for the staircase labeled "STAIR 3." White Rabbit is literally right outside the door at the bottom. No hide-and-seek required!

The French onion soup was very delicious and not too sweet! It was perfectly balanced. The fried green tomatoes were fresh and the breading was perfectly crispy.

The hubs ordered char-grilled pork chops, grilled asparagus, and potato au gratin. Everything was perfectly cooked and tasty. We really enjoyed everything. Regarding ambiance, the dining room looks a bit formal with its white table cloth and dim lighting. However, everyone dressed casually - jeans, shorts, etc. This made for a very relaxed atmosphere. But..... Ultimately, and in spite of all the good, I will deduct one star simply because I believe the entire menu is overpriced.

Other than the fries cooling down way too quickly, I have zero complaints and would recommend this location to my friends and family!
