Came across this really by luck. I was driving down to Ocean City and was really hungry and looked on the map for cafes around after I'd crossed the Bay Bridge and this popped up. It's really close to the highway making is a quick detour. The cafe itself was super clean and the ambiance is awesome. The service was faster than I expected but then the cafe was relatively empty at the time I went in. We got the a açaí bowl which was AMAZING and the chicken sandwich was pretty good too. I'll definitely remember this place each time I'm headed to OCMD. read more

Love this place. Nicely decorated inside. The menu has a variety of food and drink choices, bagels, sandwiches, egg bowls, oatmeal. They nailed the passion fruit smoothie flavor. It is hands down the best rendering of passion fruit, tropical goodness in a smoothie. Very impressed. Not overly saturated with preservatives or junk. Just wholesome and I'm hooked. Fresh ingredients is the way to a happy tummy. read more

First the disappointment the coffee was good, Not great and a little too sweet for my taste. However my companion had coffee and enjoyed it so just like beauty the taste is in the eye or in this case the tongue of the beholder. As for the food YUM times 2. It was delicious, simple menu with lots of choices and we chose right! The customer service was professional, helpful, and prompt. The cafe had a nice feel, decorated nice and it felt welcoming. Oddly and this is a first the ceiling was distracting because it was just blah and did take away from the ambiance. BUT this is about the food...I'll be back! read more

Food and service was excellent. The cafe was busy when I arrived but they took orders quickly work a smile. I enjoyed the seasonal pumpkin coffee. Definitely will be back when I'm in the area again. read more

One of my favorite acai bowls. The only complaint is I think they use sweetened coconut. I wish it was unsweetened. This place really knows how to make the acai base for a hot day; one that doesn't make in 2 seconds. Well done! I just have to find out if they put any sugar in their acai base or apple juice. Sausage, egg, and cheese croissant was hot and delicious. Cheese was melty. Sausage was pretty good. Croissant was soft. The sandwich is just on the smaller side, which is a bummer, but it's a good sandwich. The staff were extra polite and nice! read more

Cool place to stop for food or drink, whether you're local or stopping by as you cross the Bay. The inside is like a quirky coffee shop, and very inviting to stay; indeed, there were a number of folks casually enjoying time with companions and a couple working away on their laptops. They have lots of brunchy options as well as sandwiches. My kiddos both chose some of the yummy breakfast pastries and the girl behind the counter said she could warm them up for them - nice! My wife and I each got a bagel sandwich. I got the Lox sandwich - not bad. I've had better, but it was still solid. My wife got the Avocado vegetarian breakfast sandwich and that was really good. I would have loved to have tried any of their açai bowls, but I was not going to be able to eat all of it! Next time, then. The bathrooms are single person rooms and the Men's room was clean. They had a changing table, but it seemed to have a lower weight capacity than some of the others I've seen, fwiw. Good place. Would come back! read more

I had a delicious Pitaya bowl and avocado toast. The avocado and tomatoes were fresh and delicious--the toast doesn't look like much but it packs a punch. The fruit bowl was also delicious l. Plenty of seating, fast service, and just a nice surprise in this little strip mall. Oh! And I had a decent latte as well. read more

The menu had a lot of interesting options. The person taking my order was very sweet. Food took a very long time. We ordered a plain buttered bagel, a cinnamon raisin bagel with cream cheese, and a plain bagel with cream cheese, tomato, and bacon. All of the bagels were burnt from being over toasted but were still tasty. My iced matcha latte was heaven. This was a cool place that would be great for a date or a relaxing hang out. read more

We found ourselves in Kent Island, kind of by chance. We were looking for a restaurant to try and found this adorable cafe. There are plenty of vegetarian options, which is key for us. Two of us got acai bowls and one ordered the avocado swiss veggie wrap. We were all happy with our orders. I think the favorite was the pura vida choco-nut bowl. The cafe itself is very cute. There are various seating options, and I believe I recall outlets, if you need to charge your device. The staff was kind and happy to answer questions. read more

Such a good spot! They have unique flavor options for coffee that may be seasonal (try the blueberry cobbler coffee!). I haven't tried their traditional breakfast options yet but their caramel apple crumb pastry is very good and the barista suggested it warmed up which I always appreciate. I'll definitely become a regular now! read more

Nice and small cafe that was excellent for visiting after a day at the beach. The fruit bowl selection was plentiful and everything tasted great. The prices were a bit on the higher side but what isn't now a days? The ice chips in the fruit bowls was also peculiar and showed something was frozen and not all made that day. read more

The bagel sandwiches are delicious!!! I can't comment on much more as this is all we've tried so far but we are very impressed. Compared with other bagels on KI, yo Java bowl blows them out of the water. These bagels are hard and crispy on the outside and soft on the inside, just how bagels should be. Not dry at all. The bagel filling was also really yummy and fresh. You can tell they take pride in making delicious food! Fast service too, we ordered online and picked up within 10-15 min. Looking forward to trying more of their menu! read more

What a lovely little spot! I wasn't sure what I felt like so ordered the yogurt bowl. So good I made it last two days. I can't believe it's fat free Greek yogurt (Seinfeld?!) the blueberries were the best I've tasted and the granola delicious. Great iced tea and my husband enjoyed a sandwich. I will be back-and need to cross the bridge to get to it but it's worth it!! read more

Fun little place in a strip mall. Ambiance is that of a cozy coffee shop. Food is good. I'd recommend it

I've had their breakfast sandwiches and their açaí bowl and both were delicious. Cute little shop. Just wish they were open later but I get staffing is difficult right now. read more

Me and my family got an Açaí bowl. My kid does not like Açaí but loved the Açaí smoothie. I got an Açaí bowl with honey, banana, granola, strawberries, and blueberries on top and it was outstanding. If you are in the Annapolis area you have got to get this. read more

Friendly staff, delicious breakfast, excellent latte! I'll be back here again. Good for dining in or carry out.

Love the açaí bowls, coffee, sandwiches, and soups. The staff knew we were going to eat sandwiches in the restaurant before taking açaí bowls to-go, so they waited until we were finished to make the bowls. Thank you!! read more

Beware if you're a person of color. I ate tomato soup from here back in January. I was horribly sickened for months. That particular bowl, did not taste like the other 4 I had previously. I'm just saying. Be careful people of color! read more
