Review:

The Daily Grind has for sure been our go to coffee shop over the past few months! Their sugar free caramel in the cold brew is just perfect! One thing I love about the Daily Grind is that they have a doggy door, so if you are walking your dog you can order through the window so you don’t have to leave your dog outside unattended in such a busy area. The service is always good. On the weekends you can definitely expect a line of 5-10 people. During the week a small line is average. Another great thing about the Daily Grind is that it is MASSIVE inside. So much room to sit and chat. One of the biggest coffee shops I’ve ever been to! Perfect to work at during the week.

Today Tony and I visited Baby’s on Fire for the first time. They opened in Fells Point a few months ago. Just from walking in we really loved the vibe! We visited on a Sunday morning and it wasn’t too busy. There was no line to wait in. We ordered two cold brews, but we actually got two Horchata Cold Brews by accident. When I went to add Splenda, some how a piece of metal ended up falling into my drink, so I asked for a new one and then they gave me a regular cold brew. The Horchata Cold Brew was incredible! I wish I didn’t need a new one! For our taste rating the Horchata was by far a 10/10. The regular cold brew was a 6/10. Baby’s on Fire has plenty of seating to hang out and enjoy your coffee or cocktail, they are also a bar so you can enjoy a mimosa or a beer while you visit as well! Baby’s on Fire also has board games you can enjoy. Tony and I played Connect 4! It is also connected to a record store and you can stroll around while sipping on your latte.

Review:

Tony and I visited Order & Chaos Coffee for the first time on this chilly Saturday morning. It has a great vibe from the mural you see when you walk up from all of the great branding you see inside. They also featured other local Baltimore brands inside like Mouth Party Caramels. We were very happy with the level of service. There were 3 people working behind the bar and on a busy Saturday they kept the line down to nothing! All three baristas were so friendly. There was a medium sized area with tables for seating. As we were leaving they offered to refill my iced coffee. I was honestly in shock. I’m not sure if any coffee shop has ever willingly offered it! That really elevated our entire experience! What a nice surprise. We will definitely be back!
