What People Are Saying
from Google & Yelp"It's got a dark and cozy vibe with a calm atmosphere and plenty of varied seating. But some of the chairs were pretty rundown. The lady behind the counter was friendly, and the food came out quickly. The food was premade and refrigerated, and they just warm it up for you. I had the breakfast bake and ham & gruyere. The breakfast bake was still cold in the middle. They tasted ok, but I wasn't particularly impressed with the flavor - likely primarily due to the low amount of filing ingredients. The prices weren't outrageous on their own, but it felt a bit high for the quality of what I received."
"Came here with my daughter very cool spot looks very eclectic inside almost as if it could be haunted. Great for Halloween. Would come again the Service was great, ironically it was the guys first day. His name was Adam. Adam, you’re doing a great job, my friend!"
"I love this cafe and have been an advent visitor. The vibe is local and the hours are just perfect for someone to take a seat and do their remote work/tasks. The Bun Shop became a part of my routine and life in Baltimore. My recent issue with the spot comes with the new workers. Despite being nonchalant, which I can tolerate and understand, the quality of the beverages gotten worse. The ingredient balance seems off and the rich flavor that the drinks I usually get seem to not exist anymore. Back on being nonchalant, the new workers make it hard for me to bring this point up. So, here I am leaving a review with a lower star rate."
"Very comfortable local coffee ☕ and Tea shop close to midtown University of Maryland Midtown Medical Campus. The street is a business district street. 3 mins from John Hopkins Medical Campus. MICA is 2 minutes away. The location looks historical inside with an original glass case and some very old antique metal tables. Black colored walls and ceiling for a comfortable and dark mood, comfortable study location. It's not dirty. It's just antique and old for people that don't understand how glass gets after 50+ years. The hot chocolate 🍫 was tasty and did not have that syrup or powder flavor of Starbucks or Dunkin Donuts. They offer different kinds of milk if that is your preference. Their music was tasteful and light jazz and not blasting. Conducive to good studying without blasting music like Starbucks which I hate. Minimal power. A few power banks strips all over the floor. Slight trip hazard so please be careful. Customers were a mix of students and older folks studying or just relaxing and reading. Mostly students studying quietly and not loud if they were in a group. Restrooms in the rear. Overall, a good place that is open late. I'm not sure what the sister was talking about racism below. I think it has more to do with your attitude and how you communicate here from my own experience. The gentleman with tattoos serving me greeted me and was professional. Who needs more than that? Hot cocoa was about $4.50 I believe. Not bad. Businesses don't run on air."
"I have mixed feelings about this place. The place's atmosphere is a fun and neat concept. But the interior when we got there just seemed very dirty and unwell kept. I get the idea its suppose to be grungy and artsy but it just feel like they are just being lazy at the same time. The coffee was descent, the cinnamon roll was good, and the service was decent as well but not overwhelming."
"Great food, friendly staff, and chill study vibes -- The Bun Shop is a go-to café for comfort and creativity. What makes it even better are the late hours..."
