"Alex is friendly, and the coffee is good! Food is available but selection is limited. Ask about the bird's captive and native names."

"Very cute little place. Owner is nice, and yes there is a bird! I didn’t realize there weren’t that many pictures because the parrot is usually perched atop the owner’s shoulder… Unpretentious, very reasonable prices, charming. Would definitely come back."

"Visiting Baltimore for the first time and so happy we skipped the chains. This local coffee shop is warm, welcoming, dog-friendly, and cheaper than the big names — and the coffee tastes way better! The owner even has a cool bird on his shoulder, and watching him make coffee is so fun. Such a great vibe! Love it!!!"

"Wonderful local coffee shop. I have been coming here for a couple months now and the coffee is always flavorful and smooth and the owner and regulars are extremely friendly. Be sure to try the Spanish tortilla de patatas when it is freshly made in the morning."

"While the espresso shots are great, I didn’t enjoy the more complex of the espresso beverages. I still recommend because it was the most unique of the cafes I visited in Baltimore, the owner clearly has a lot of passion for coffee!"
