It's very easy to order coffee from the website, and my coffee was at my door the next morning! There's a small delivery charge, but to me, it's worth it. Why is it worth it? The majority of their coffees are organic, and small-batch roasted. They're sold as actual pounds 16 oz, rather than 12 oz at the grocery store. I've been enjoying their coffee since 2016. My favorite so far is Rock Creek Reserve, which I purchased at the Olney Farmers Market (recommended by the seller after discussing what I like and don't like). It's indescribably good, so smooth, and full-bodied. Next on my list is Charm City Blend, which I wanted to try solely on the name, since I was born and raised in Baltimore. Right now, I'm really enjoying Royal Blue Blend and it's so delicious and aromatic. Next will be Bird City Blend for obvious reasons. I've never been disappointed! read more

Cool local spot. Food is decent. I enjoyed a turkey and provolone with all the fixings. Great hummus. Coffee might be too dark for most. Come here for a good hang out spot. read more

Zeke's Roastery on Montebello Terrace is easily one of the most delicious-smelling businesses in all of Bmore. A great band of folks work tirelessly to keep the Baltimore metro area properly caffeinated. Perfect roasts and delicious blends! My favorite is the Royal Blue. It's a dark roast named for a luxury train that used to run out of Baltimore. read more

I've decided to review Zeke's Roastery rather than the places that serve it. Coffee from beans roasted at Zeke's is exceptional and is available at numerous locations. Check out their website for a list. I enjoy Zeke's coffee at the Crema Coffee cart at the University of Maryland, which is very convenient. There is something to be said about locally roasted coffee. It is so much more flavorful, probably due to the shorter transit time between roasting and preparation at home. There are numerous blends from which to choose and there is a description of what type of beans are used, how they are roasted, and what the roasting does to create the coffee's flavor. Drink and learn at the same time. I must make a trip to the roastery and update my review accordingly. read more

Pretty much the only place I know of that sells green coffee beans in Baltimore. $7.50 a pound. The staff is very helpful and they have a great selection of high quality coffee. Just go in the metal door with the sign on it (the sign that points to a different door). It's a little warehouse, but just find one of the workers and they'll help you out. read more

Wow, this is a gem in Baltimore! We have been drinking Zeke's organic "Hippie Blend" since we moved here and let me tell you we are VERY picky about our coffee, having been buying it from Los Angeles' Groundwork Coffee for the past 5 years even though we lived far from there. But then we found that Zeke's Hippie Blend is even better and we don't have to pay shipping. It's also reasonably priced, given its quality. We buy it at our local Eddie's Market. 2011 update: the price at Eddie's Market, and seemingly everywhere, is going up a lot... now $13.99/lb for Hippie Blend. This is unfortunate; might have to look elsewhere again for increased value, despite the coffee seeming to be the same high-quality taste. read more

Zeke's coffee is hands down 5 stars. We absolutely love it and until we found a spot out in the burbs that sells it, we were trekking back into the city every month to buy more. We had never been to Zeke's cafe before, never had a reason to make it up that far north in the city, but put it on the Yelp bucket list and made a special trip. That being said if you don't live nearby it isn't really worth a special trip because there are tons of other places that serve and sell the coffee. It's a cute space: big store front windows, tin ceiling, spacious and bright. It's a simple menu. I had a really great powerhouse sandwich with old bay hummus. They also have build your own and breakfast sandwiches. The best part is you're guaranteed to get great coffee (oh and a free bumper sticker). read more

Purchase excellent coffee (beans and grounds) on wire racks ~10 feet from where it was roasted. They have a large variety and some really friendly folks to help you sort through it. You can also pick up a variety of coffee accessories (i.e. french presses, thermoses, burlap sacks). read more

Good freaking coffee.

I believe... Zeke's Roastery produces the best coffee beans in the Baltimore area. As such, obviously, their coffee is equally fantastic.

Seeing as Zeke's is a Baltimore institution I decided I should check out its brick-and-mortar cafe. I love the building it's housed in; the huge windows let in loads of natural sunlight, the hardood floors are rustic and welcoming, and the place has a calm, airy openness to it that's nice and inviting. That said, it's not somewhere I would go if I wanted to spend hours whiling away my afternoon. It'd be nice if they had some couches or at least comfier chairs seeing as the wooden ones they currently use always leave me sore after half an hour. The openness also means it's sort of echoey and every time I've been there have been unpleasantly loud folks at the other tables so it was hard to concentrate. Moral of the story; if you're in the area and are just looking to grab a quick cup of coffee then Zeke's is fine. But I wouldn't bother making it into a special trip. read more

I've rated Zeke's Roastery already, but let's just throw a compliment or two this way as well for those of you who are curious. If I wake up in the morning and crave something simple yet satisfactory, I'll go here. Not only do they have plump bagels, they have a set-up full of pastries, danishes, blacksauce kitchen biscuits, and other delicious morning treats. They have juices and all the coffee you could want, in any form. They also make lunches - decent deli sandwiches with chips. You can buy local hummus (multiple kinds) there, as well as coffees and merchandise to support their awesomeness. It's really just a spot-on coffee place. It's one of (if not THE) most frequently used local coffee in the area and even beyond. Treat yourself! read more

Pretty much the best coffee this side of Seattle! Why would anyone go to Starbucks when they could have Zekes. This is a 5 pound bag at one of my favorite local joints and Baltimore read more

This reminds me of Blue Bottle in SF- great coffee, insanely great coffee, like if you haven't had good coffee, look no more, and if you have had good coffee, same goes for you. Nice guys and no nonsense- you can't get a caramel macchiato here, but what can you get? Good coffee beans! read more

I contacted Zeke's a few month ago, as I was interested in making a custom blend of coffee to give out as holiday gifts to my clients. From beginning to end, the process was so easy. Not only did the finished product taste delicious, but it was also packaged very nicely and delivered right to my doorstep. In addition, all of the staff that I worked with was incredibly friendly and helpful. I highly recommend Zeke's if you're looking to work with a great local coffee business!! read more

They recently re-did things and it's a great new configuration. They have a delicious pastry case, many of their deliciously roasted coffees brewing, and gift goods such as t-shirts, hoodies, water bottles, and more. (Hint: we just did half our Christmas shopping there!) The furniture is newly re-configured and I think you'll like it--much more room to study and caffeinate. In one corner, a city counsel contender was spread out with an adviser studying precinct maps. read more

This is good coffee. It is sold at the Gay streey farmers market on Sundays. Did I mention it was really really really good.

Let's just say that I wish I would came/known about this place a long time ago. The people there are just AWESOME and we don't have any nice local coffee shops/roasteries around Towson/Parkville area. Will definitely be buying most (if not all of my coffee here). Can't wait to try all the different roasts! read more

Great local coffee shop. The cold brew was fantastic. Get there early and attempt to get one of the biscuits. They are amazing.

Fell in love with this coffee years ago. Bonus that I live in walking distance! Yummy Danishes and donuts. The staff is wonderful. Worth the trip read more

I always buy Zeke's coffee at the local farmer's market. Best. Coffee. Ever.

Yummy coffee. Bought a bag of tea leaves. they were out of the my favorite savory pies but i will be back!

If you're habituated to Starbucks and prefer your coffee roasted to somewhere between pencil lead black and actual cinders, this is the coffee for you. Their lightest, most drinkable roast died with Clementine. read more

Absolutely the best coffee in town hands down. I've been coming here for years and have never been disappointed. Besides having great fresh roasted coffee the staff is very helpful and very friendly. There always seems to be something new being offered so it's difficult to get bored. read more

Beats all others the competition doesn't come close Best is Mexican Chiapas and gunpowder espresso read more

There is no doubt that Zeke's coffee is some of the best in town, but I don't care too much for the atmosphere at their newish Harford Rd location. Parking is awkward. Rarely is their a spot out front, and it seems rude to use the parking at the business next door - not to mention trying to make your way around to the store front. The shop itself has a chilliness about it - too many drafty windows I guess. The place just doesn't exude much warmth. I'm sure that it's just me, but the patrons seem a bit chilly too. None of this is good for making it a cozy coffee shop to visit and stay awhile. Thankfully, I can get my Zeke's fix elsewhere. read more

We went for the Kopi Luwak tasting and had a great time. Thank you!

Great coffee, I love CAFE LATTE, coffee bean retails is another attraction, want to be there often! And waiting to see beans from Nepal too.

My socks are knocked off, thanks Zeke's! :) I placed an online order on Monday and arrived on Wednesday. Super happy. read more

They have great coffee. Mid like to see this business really grow. Better then most coffee shops

I like that Zeke's has such a large variety of roasts. I always buy a pound for work and home. I've been going there for several years . They set the standard for coffee. read more

Zeke's is the best! great variety in coffees and outstanding pasteries. The staff is very friendly and helpful. Very light and airy and the music does not overwhelm you like in so many places. kid friendly also. read more

Their coffee is definitely good, their people at Zeke's are super nice and understanding; they know their beans inside and out.

Hands down, best coffee in Baltimore. Just wish it wasn't so pricey (though I'm willing to pay for pricey)...otherwise we'd buy some to drink every week! read more

My first visit to Zeke's, looking for Armistead's beans (my favorite). Found them. While there I tried the house coffee Mexican Chiapas, that had a nice hint of chocolate and tasted very good. Also really enjoyed a heated apple betty that is the best one I've ever eaten. Staff are friendly and very knowledgeable about coffee. It's easy to find parking in front, on side street on south side and Zeke's shares the Pep Boy parking lot on the north side. Shop was original tin makers shop and walls and ceiling are made of attractive tin. Wireless connection was easy to access. Noticed many return customers stopping by to enjoy pastry treats and coffee. Very nice coffee house with pleasant music. I will definitely go back read more
