This bakery is awesome! Everything I got tasted fresh and well-made…read more My boyfriend and I shared the raspberry cornetto, strawberry maritozzi, and spinach and ricotta danish. My favorite was the cornetto; it was just bursting with fruity flavor. Nothing was overly sweet either, which is perfect for me! Decor is cute! There is seating indoors and outdoors. The staff were friendly as well.

Food: A.) Pizza - one slice of cheese and pepperoni…read more Disappointed. Very greasy, soft crust. There are lower key spots nearby that serve better slices. B.) Arancini Palermo - Extremely disappointing. It was slightly burnt, and despite being described as containing a beef and pork ragu, I couldn't see or taste any meat. I initially thought we'd been served the Formaggi and even asked the server, who confirmed it was the Palermo after checking with the kitchen. The meat was supposedly very finely minced, but it was undetectable. Overall, the flavor was off. Service: They were nice, but slow and inefficient. When we asked for the check, we waited for about 10 minutes and no one had come. I ended up going to the counter to pay. After I had paid and returned to the table, my wife told me the server was walking around with a check, likely had forgot which table had asked for it. Ambiance: This was the best part. We sat outside, beautiful day. If you want to come to sit down outside on a nice day and have a drink, it would probably be enjoyable.

Spent a gloomy day walking around the Ave when we decided we needed a pastry. We've tried most of…read morethe coffee shops on the Ave, so this was a new spot for us. The workers were kind, answered all our questions, and the service was good. It's a cute little cafe just off the main street. The inside is nicely decorated and they even have a cute trinket shelf. We'll definitely be back.

First Timer... The…read moredecor is so adorable. The music is upbeat and soothing. It's cozy with seating for a nice friends meetup. There's metered parking out front. We heard about them on socials. We stopped in after my niece's school program. Our order for 4: 2 White Chocolate Raspberry Cupcakes, 1 Fruity Pebbles Cupcake and 1 Dulce De Leche Cupcake BBL "Banana Bread Latte", Banana Bread Matcha with Oat Milk, Blueberry Cheesecake Matcha with Oat Milk and a Strawberry Lemonade The others enjoyed their drinks in the car. I waited until I got to my destination to enjoy the delicious Banana Bread Latte. Both team members who served us were helpful and kind. The cupcakes were just as delicious as the drinks. It's not too sweet! We highly recommend! Can I get back here before I head back to the west? :-)

While in the area after my daughter's event she wanted a sweet treat and this place was perfect. It…read morewas busy with people coming in and out as well as people sitting outside on a nice sunny day. I ordered 2 cupcakes (red velvet and banana pudding) for my daughter and I to share which we really enjoyed. The cake batter could have been a little more moist to me however, I liked the icing. The shop is cute, cozy and quaint. I am so glad I found it and would love to return while in the area.

I had my weekly coffee shop Saturday at Kanom Cafe. I'm from Baltimore and was visiting over the…read moreweekend, and chose Kanom because I'd never been there before. It's within the Johns Hopkins college campus & a neighborhood, so parking is really horrible. I ended up parking in a non spot and putting my hazards on. It's a cute little, but spacious place located next to an airport building. It's on the corner and has a nice little outside seating area with about 5 tables. Inside is bigger than it looks and has a nice amount of seating as well. Since my time was limited, I didn't really get to explore the menu like I wanted, so I ordered a hazelnut latte and a ham & cheese croissant. Their croissants looked so good, I wanted one of each. They also had several toasts on their menu. I'll have to go back for sure! Th service was regular, you order, they tell you how much you owe and you pay. I got in my car and couldn't wait. My first bite was like a bite into heaven. Every bite was the same way, so delicious & delicate. I wish I had two. The latte was perfect, just the right amount of hazelnut. Kanom Cafe is a must try!

Matcha crookie was so gluttonous, I'm glad they only do it on weekends otherwise I'd be getting this all the time. Their pineapple coconut croissant is so fresh (summertime pastry).

Recently relocated from Houston to the area. I love trying out coffee spots and pastries…read more It's a cute coffee shop; I love the aesthetics and I should have dined it vs taking my order to go. The music playing was great, not overtly loud but soft. I visited on a Hump Day morning around 9am and there was no line. I went up to order and asked the cashier what's popular. He said they are known for lattes and rattled off a few. I opted to get the Toasted Marshmallow hot latte with whole milk. I would said it was ok, I couldn't taste the toasted marshmallow flavor at all. I also ordered the bacon/Swiss swirl which was yummy once I warmed it in the microwave at home. 3 stars for me because of the latte but I'm willing to revisit to try other flavors. Not sure if there's a reward program but I'll be interested in joining.

We were walking around downtown and decided to stop in Vaccaro's. It's a cute pastry shop…read more Typically, it's so crowded that we order to go but today we dined in. We ordered a mochaccino, Italian iced tea, and shared a slice of chocolate cannoli cake. We were warmly greeted when we arrived and service was great. Our drinks and cake were delicious. A nice treat in a summer afternoon.

Original large cannolis - 4pcs. Coconut Napoleon - 1pc…read more Vanilla Napoleon - 1pc. Chocolate cream puffs - 3pcs. Arrived in the afternoon during a busy weekend and decided to take out for desserts. My first visit and was underwhelmed by the service received. Rushed and transactional. Packaging was very sloppy and my napoleons were shoved to the side, making the clear clamshells very messy when I arrived home. If only the desserts were saving grace, but was left disappointed as well. As others have mentioned, the pastries do not taste fresh. The ricotta cream in the original cannoli tasted warm and gritty, the shell was stale. I noticed these were sitting out. The puff pastry in the Napoleons were soggy. The cream puffs shell was stale and chocolate topping was super sweet, unfortunately these were far from heavenly. Maybe another day, Vaccaro.

I had heard great things about the coffee at Cafe Dear Leon and I thought I'd try something new…read more Why five stars: *Incredible vegan friendly drinks! I ordered a Brazilian Yuzuade with Espresso and a Japanese Cold Brew with Oat Milk. Both were great, the Yuzuade was extremely pleasing. I wasn't expecting much from it (citrus and coffee?) but it was my favorite of the two. *Line moves quick. When I arrived, there was a line out the door. I was able to order in a lot less time than it seemed. *Personable service. The Cafe limits the number of guests inside at one time to six. This allowed the staff to focus their energy on only a few people at a time. I ordered the drinks about an hour a part and the person at the register remembered me and struck up a conversation about my earlier order. Despite the five stars, what don't I like? *No vegan baked goods. I will definitely be returning to Cafe Dear Leon because there is ample parking, the prices are good and the drinks are awesome.

Finally made it to the most talked-about bakery and yes... I stood in line wondering if it was all…read morehype. It wasn't. This place is the real deal. Hands down, the best almond croissant in town. Perfectly flaky with a generous almond filling that tastes rich and authentic. I also tried their Brazilian drink and added matcha to it, and it was incredibly refreshing. Truth be told, I wasn't expecting it to be that good! I ordered the veggie sandwiches too-fresh, delicious, and very filling. I can't wait to come back. The only thing I missed was a place to sit and really savor it. The outdoor seating is limited, and the glass canopy doesn't do much to keep the heat away. So I ended up enjoying my breakfast on the park bench next door... and honestly, it wasn't a bad spot at all. One tip: they're a small-batch bakery with a set menu available during specific hours, so check their timings before you go.
