At Zekes theres always a reason to visit each month. New month=New specials. I really enjoyed the morgan state bear sandwich along with my butterscotch Stallion coffee. Its mandatory after going to snug books to go next door to Zekes. Staff is always friendly and I was able to telework while enjoying some lunch . read more

I got an espresso. It offered classic coffee bitterness, but not burnt. Good layer of crema, pretty thin body. Could tell the beans were fresh but maybe a bit over extracted for my taste for straight espresso 2.5/5. Would consider buying whole beans for home or maybe a cortado next time. read more

Zekes Coffee - Espresso - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Baltimore, Maryland

We always like finding good beans fresh roasted near home! (Dec 2025). We used Bird City Blend k-cups ("Z"-cups :-) from Zeke's to make our morning cup with steamed foamed oat-milk and sugar :-). For fun, we also pushed some through our espresso machine to make espressos and a more intense ristretto (half the water) shot. Bird City Blend is a rich strong balanced brew, not bitter or sour, with light flavors of cocoa and filberts. We also got Zeke's seasonal dark-chocolate covered roasted beans. They were dark and delicious, with the good crunchy crunch of a real Arabica bean in the center. And they use Kopper's chocolate which we love! They've been at it for 29 years! And you'll enjoy their cute artwork, and their blends named for local fame, like Hon, and even The Trash Wheel :-) read more

I went back to Zeke's today to co-work with a colleague while I'm in town and I'm really glad that I did. I arrived around 1pm and it was pretty busy, but my colleague had gotten there earlier and got us a table in the back room. I immediately ordered lunch upon getting settled. Squirrely was super nice & helped me decide on the Reuben with fries, and boy oh boy, I'm glad they did. I ate every single fry within minutes of receiving them, they didn't even need a dipping sauce. The Reuben was amazing, the corned beef was so tender. Their house made sauerkraut rye was perfect. Later, I ordered a Pumpkin Spice Latte, even though I said I'd wait til October for Pumpkin. It was perfect. I was happy because the first time I had coffee from Zeke's I thought it tasted burnt. It's a great place to have a yummy meal, a great cup of coffee and hang out. There's a covered patio with tables, and plenty of seating inside as well. It's cozy, yet has a spacious feel. The staff is awesome. read more

Zeke's is the perfect place to grab a coffee and chill. Today, I decided on a Vietnamese iced coffee and a cranberry muffin. The coffee was strong, yet balanced; the muffin was average, nothing spectacular. Aside from coffee and pastries, Zeke's offers an array of sandwiches and small bites... and surprisingly, there's also a cocktail menu. The space is spacious and clean, suitable for working or studying. Service is fast and friendly. Street parking is limited but there's a free parking lot in the back. Definitely swing by if you're in the neighborhood. Support local! read more

Ended up at Zekes Coffee for breakfast, as it's a place I pass all the time but have never visited. The line to order was pretty long, but it gave me time to look over the menu. I decided on the chicken biscuit, but unfortunately, once I got to the register to order, I was told they were out of biscuits. I was so set on the chicken biscuit that it took me a minute to look at the menu again and settle on something else. I went with a basic bacon egg and cheese bagel and a chai latte. I enjoyed the latte, and the bagel was fine. I'll have to make my way back for the chicken biscuit another day. read more

I've been stopping in regularly for about a month now. Sometimes to do work and sometimes just for a sodie. This cozy cafe has indoor and patio seating, free WiFi, and clean bathrooms. Staff are very friendly, and this location is a good community hub. I don't think you could go wrong with anything on the menu. But if I had to recommend anything it'd be the Nitro Cold Brew, or a Peach Italian Cream Soda. The Nitro Cold Brew almost looked and tasted like an iced stout beer. It was smooth and had a thick head, while providing that much needed pep in my step. It was definitely a head-turner and had other customers asking what I was drinking! I think what really hooked me in was the Italian sodas, especially since I don't have much of a sweet tooth. There are a ton of flavors here, but of the bunch I've tried here so far, peach is the best. Super refreshing and lightly sweet. Perfect anytime of day. Today I tried their lox bagel, with their homemade lox. It was pretty good, with generous portions for the toppings. The poppy seed bagel was a bit dense but tasty. read more

Zeke's on Harford Road never disappoints! My boyfriend and I stopped in for cappuccinos and ended up leaving with a bag full of pastries. He had the raspberry danish--absolutely fantastic--and I went for the blueberry pop tart (highly recommend heating it up!) and the brownie-stuffed croissant. I also grabbed a coffee mug with two mini Zeke's coffee samples for daycare, plus a brownie and cinnamon bun for later. I typically swing by just for coffee, but their variety of baked goods is too good to pass up. I'll definitely be back before Valentine's Day! If you haven't been, do yourself a favor and stop in. They also have plenty of seats if you want this to be your office for the day I love the vibe here and service is always great! read more

A bit slow, but not bad. Food was okay, my bagel was more chewy than I expected but the veggie cream cheese was good. I'd still try going back at least for the coffee. The atmosphere was lively but not noisy. I love local places like this. read more

I drive past this place all the time and finally decided to try it out. I'm so glad I did. I had an iced latte and a cinnamon roll pastry that was super yummy. It's a nice vibe inside and seems to have some good foot traffic on the weekend. The service was pretty good. read more

Zekes is my favorite coffee shop in the city! It's family friendly, welcoming with a robust menu. I love their lunch sandwiches and breakfast sandwiches. There was a line to the door when we showed up and they got the line down so quickly. The Vietnamese coffee is my favorite! read more

Although this place is not far from my house, I still never quite make it here. I was in the area again to rediscover this gem. All of the staff were upbeat and quirky, which made for a pleasant experience. I got a brownie and an ice coffee and sat in their outside sunroom area (perfect for getting the feel of outside, without having to be in the blazing sun). I need to make it a priority to come back for food because that will really seal the deal! read more

Nice location, plenty of seating if you want to work. It's the Saturday morning rush and I asked for a light roast con panna. I expected espresso and whipped cream but received a black hot coffee. So I asked for a remake, but was met with two audibly annoyed baristas that took my coffee, poured out some room and added whipped cream. I was a barista before, I get it, but no. Not the right response. The breakfast sandwich was good though. I'll go back, but my expectations will be low. read more

Before I moved to Baltimore, Zeke's was the only coffee shop I had heard of. My friend was a huge fan of theirs and she had periodically sent me bags of their beans. You better believe when we moved here, Zeke's was the first coffee shop we visited. What I love about Zeke's is the sheer number of roasts they will have available at any time. Walk into their shop and their shelves are packed full of various roasts and blends. I can always find something that interests me for my home coffee needs. Beside their coffee shelves, right by their entrance, is an illustrated graphic explaining the ingredients in all the different types of coffee. I love this! It means that not only will coffee snobs feel at home in their shop but the novice drinkers can be comfortable as well. Don't know the components of a drink? Just take a look at their wall. Zeke's has an extensive menu of hot and iced drinks. It is one of the largest I've seen. I've tried more drinks here than probably any other shop because of their menu size and constantly rotating "specials". 9 out of 10 times I enjoy these drinks. Zeke's also has a large variety of baked goods including a bunch of vegan options. The vegan chocolate croissants are gigantic! So, why not five stars? Mainly the parking. It stinks here. The lot is crowded and small and hard to navigate. I spend more time parking than ordering and drinking my coffee. I have begun to combat this by parking far away and walking. read more

Much LOVE and shoutout to Zekes today specially LARA! I hope I caught your name correctly. You are one of the many reasons why Zekes is a success! I was having a hell of a day! Additionally, with dietary restrictions and yet, you took my order with care knowing how insanely busy this cafe gets is impressive! I'm sure many of your patrons will agree with me on this. I also love you remembered my name. Thank you thank you and I'll continue to stop by when I'm in this side of the town. read more

Rustic but not boring. Friendly and accommodating. Interesting and colorful crowd. Free local parking.

This is where Zekes Coffee started! I've been a fan of Zekes for a while - it was definitely one of the first local coffees I tried in Baltimore. I often get their bags of coffee from the farmers market so it's always a treat to visit their storefront. This was my second time here - the first time I came with a friend and tried a poppyseed Hamantaschen. The pastries and coffee shop here aren't high end, but the coffee is good and the store is so big - it's definitely more industrial feeling than the more hipster coffee joints you see popping up! The staff is fast and friendly and there is an area you can sit with dogs separate from the main area. I got their cafe con panna this time. Solid spot and definitely a neighborhood staple. read more

Ending off the zip code series with Zekes Coffee, 9 zip codes northeast of home in Baltimore 21214. I visited here in July 2024. We checked out the Lauraville Festival that day and popped in here. I was familiar with Zekes as I had seen in DC but never had. I got the iced chai, which was excellent. Staff was very nice, and the price was thankfully reasonable too. It's a cute place with plenty of seating. read more

Love Zekes Coffee, it's unmatched. I get it at the farmers market and really any place I see it offered. I went to their coffee shop once before when they would make like one hot breakfast plate each weekend. I remember getting sausage biscuits and gravy and being blown away. I was in the area over the weekend and decided to pop in with my family. We tried the Ravens whoopie pie, breakfast burrito with sausage, and hot honey chicken biscuit. I also got an iced mocha that was the sh*t. So good. The whoopie pie was just two stale purple cookies with a massive amount of old buttercream. It wasn't good but my son really liked it, so that was a win in a way. The sausage on the breakfast burrito was cut into thin slices and had a weird texture. The burrito was cold with shredded cheese that wasn't melted bc the burrito was pretty cold. Which made it a weird thing to eat. They were out of biscuits, so the chicken sandwich was on what seemed to be a stale brioche bun. The chicken was flavorless. I was bummed! Maybe I went on an off day. I love the vibe at Zekes and I reaaallllyy love the selection of kids books for entertainment. Toddler parents don't always get to enjoy a relaxing coffee in the morning but a new book entertained our son for like 15 minutes, which felt like an hour of bliss. read more

My friend and I went for our last day to hang before they move and unfortunately our stop here kind of ruined our day. We came in and place our order with one of the sweetest people on earth who I desperately wish I remembered their name. But as we were waiting for my friends drink, we couldnt help but notice the barista being incredibly rude to customers confused about their order. It was our first time so we didn't know if the order was called by name or by number (they were using both) and the barista was becoming increasingly rude because other patrons were confused as well. He called one ticket number repeatedly and when no one came quick enough he yelled "Number ____! Hello? I'm speaking english correct?!?!" There were other comments similar to this but I don't want to recount them incorrectly. He later on hollered at this girl who picked up the wrong order and was extremely apologetic, even offering to pay for the mistaken drink but he chose to raise his voice and be extremely condescending. I understand work days can be frustrating but it just made the space all around unappealing to be in. We thanked the employee at the register and left as quickly as possible once my friend got her coffee. read more

Zekes coffee is a friendly neighborhood restaurant that is definitely worth visiting. The staff are all very friendly and helpful with coffee and food suggestions.

Plenty of parking on the street and in the back. read more

We came because it's a local coffee roaster and we like to support local roaster over chains like Starbucks when we travel. This joint did not disappoint. We ordered our usual drink we get at coffee shops.. mocha and caramel macchiato.. lol.. Our server was very friendly and helpful. I ordered breakfast bagel with bacon cheese and egg.. hubby got a bagel with cream cheese.. my bagel tasted so good and it had a great deal of bacon on it!!Sooo good!! They had things you could purchase like muffins and bakery items, tshirts, cups, mugs , bags of coffee you name it.. they also had lunch menu and sometimes did burger night once a month on Friday..seems like a welcomed edition to neighborhood.. parking out front is on curb so not best when it's busy.. read more

I've seen the bumper stickers and finally made it to this local favorite as I was in the area. Semi busy on a Friday morning around 9. A good amount of indoor and outdoor seating with a mix of high top and regular tables. Wanted to try something different so ordered a Cafe Cubano. Just the right amount of sweet with bold Espresso. Very good. Saw an abundant selection of pastries and got the Chocolate Danish and Almond Croissant. Both delicious. Also, ordered a couple of breakfast sandwiches to try. Chicken Biscuit and BYO with sausage. Chicken Biscuit stole the show with the Hot Honey taking it over the top. They have Weekend Brunch as well a good selection of sandwiches for lunch. House made Corned Beef sounds like a try for next time. Service was excellent with friendly and energetic people at the counter and making coffee drinks. A local favorite that lives up to the hype! read more

This place was a great stop during a chilly day of browsing nearby shops! To start, it was very warm. There was a fairly decent line but it moved quickly and I had a good amount of time to decide what I wanted to get. I just wanted a warm beverage and a pastry to take the edge off my hunger and that's what I got. I went with the 16oz chai tea latte and a raspberry danish. Both were excellent. Checkout was easy. read more

Zekes Coffee - Pastry case - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Baltimore, Maryland

\nFor those who appreciate fine coffee, Zeke's is an essential stop. While their coffee is available in many locations, the true gem is Zeke's emporium and coffee lab. The staff members are exceptional, and the ambiance is exceptionally cozy. You'll find a fantastic selection of coffees to choose from, as well as a variety of pastries and brunch options. Be sure to explore the interesting gifts on display, and don't miss out on their extensive range of coffee varieties, some of which are exclusive to this location and are available in both ground and whole bean options. read more

I still very much love Zeke's. That said, I would stay away from their delivery option on the site and keep to pickup or going in. I ordered some breakfast and a coffee for delivery and it's been 3 hours and it hasn't been delivered, but about an hour ago, they called to let me know they were out of oat milk. They are super busy and I wouldn't normally order delivery when we live close but I'm still recovering from surgery and can't drive. read more

Nice little coffee shop with excellent coffee beans. It's a sizable café with an outer enclosed patio and seating inside and counter service. They have a large menu that features all kinds of coffee drinks, from classic to sugary and seasonal. They have a decent sized food, menu and offer hot breakfast and lunch options, as well as a large pastry case. My biggest ding and disappointment for this café, though, is that the pastries are tasty looking, but not at all tasty tasting. They are dry and pretty flavorless. I was really disappointed as I was looking forward to that raspberry croissant, but it was just a dusty mess with cheap jelly donut filling on the inside. read more

I frequent Zekes all the time. I go to chill and work when the four walls of my office start to close in on me. I usually am able to grab a parking spot right in front of the door. I do the pay to park but it's only .50 an hour which is reasonable. The coffee is strong and good. I recently got a breakfast sandwich that was so good, I destroyed it before it even got to cool down. I like the option for quiet in the back room if needed. It's a neighborhood staple that I will continue to come back and support. read more

OK. I'm a regular. And I'd rather work here then at my office. The coffee is better. Terrific service. And a comfortable and productive atmosphere. Yes there is Wi-Fi. Great pastries. Cookies. Cooked foods like hash browns or omelets. They will make you eggs. The food is much better than I expected. It's downright excellent. Fancy events here too. Like Haitian Friday. Not sure why, but it is good. read more

I've been seeing Zeke's Coffee at the Baltimore Farmer's Market for years, but I only recently discovered they have a brick-and-mortar location on Harford Road. The staff here is friendly, and they know their menu well, making it easy to find something delicious. I tried a seasonal latte, which was yummy, along with a breakfast sandwich on a brioche roll (with sausage, lettuce, tomato, and egg) that was fresh and flavorful. Zeke's is a perfect spot to enjoy a relaxed lunch, catch up with a friend, or even settle in with some work in a cozy setting. With ample street parking, a lot behind the restaurant, and Baltimore merch like Zeke's Coffee t-shirts, cookies, and beans, it's a great place to spend a lazy Sunday afternoon. read more

So glad and thankful to be living nearby this gem of a place. The fiancé frequents here and has his "usual" for the most part (Lox bagel or Prime Rib bagel). When our son and I are back in town from CA, we get Zeke's almost everyday - yes, it does get a bit pricey after a while. Their coffee is often delicious. Sometimes the vanilla latte can be bland, the reason for the 4 stars instead of 5. Their white mocha never fails, though. Atmosphere is great. Fast and pleasant service. And love that you can order ahead of time via call/online and even delivered to your home. Definitely recommend this place. read more

I liked the mocha latte that I had on my first visit. It was well-brewed and nice and foamy. Plus, the barista has skills and didn't mind tweaking the drink to my preferences. I also purchased and really enjoyed the zero calorie, fruit- flavored, non-alcoholic spritzer drinks. They're really good and refreshing! In my hot vanilla latte, I requested the sugar free vanilla and a pinch of mocha. The barista even had me watch him and asked me to say "when" to let him know how much mocha to use. That's a new one! I really appreciated his desire to be precise and to make the latte I wanted! Probably will return even though from my home location, it's on the other side of town because I found ZEKE'S to be a good coffee shop. If you want a full meal, Zeke also offers food options like deli, seafood, steak, desserts, and breakfast/brunch dishes! Check it out! read more
