Really enjoyed my time here! This was technically my second time visiting but my first time doing brunch. It was a last minute decision and I’m so glad I came! The atmosphere is amazing. Wonderful outdoor seating area, great service and phenomenal food. We tried a bit of everything on the menu. Highly recommend and can’t wait to go back :) they even had a DJ outdoors. Super cool. Check out their items for sale inside as well. We left with free (empty) wine bottles to take home as decor.

I love the family atmosphere. How they take care of the children in the community . The chef is amazing! She’s only 18! The cold press juice all made from Black hands! It really is a pleasure to Baltimore!

This is a mixed review. The food taste good fresh and seasoned well. I ordered shrimp and grits. Banging but way to pricey for the amount they give you. Also the staff was great to fix the mistake they made in giving me bacon, scrambled eggs and grits when i didnt order that. Commotion may be detriment to this ecclesiastic place. Good food but pay more attention to what customers ask for. I had to go back to wait for something i didnt even order. A fried egg. It was good tho

Truly a vibe and a community classic! Blessed to be a part of this, and participate in all the cool events. Not to mention all the different pop up menues and creative food options you can get here!

Nice little coffee shop. I was pleasantly surprised when I discovered it not long after moving in the neighborhood. The staff& owners are very pleasant, the coffee is always fresh & the food is good!

Great food and drinks. Friendly staff, good vibes. Will definitely come back.

Love this place. Good selection of fresh pastries, vegan options, and excellent service. The coffee was also delicious.

Still incredible. This place radiates creativity and positive energy! Oh and the coffee and food is spectacular! Run dont walk here.

Absolutely incredible environment. Im so appreciative of spaces like this

Cozy, eclectic neighborhood cafe with an artsy feel. I enjoyed the fresh chicken salad wrap and the Dovecote special brew cold coffee is smooth & delicious! Dovecote also offers a diverse calendar of entertaining events. Highly recommend.

This is one of my favorite spaces in Baltimore! Its cozy and inviting and smells great :) I like to come for Sunday brunch, usually get the shrimp and grits, but occasionally I will pop in for a coffee and cake/ muffin. I highly recommend the vegan crab cakes; I am not vegan at all lol but it is pretty close to the real thing and is palette pleasing. I can chill and get work done or bump into some of my fellow entrepreneurs and talk business and culture.

I love this place. Food was terrific and their coffee was amazing. The service was an excellent, you never disappointed. Staff was very courteous and polite. Highly recommend!!

Absolutely love his cafe! The owners will greet you with a hug! The best baked goods and food. I really that they are just selling coffee but that they have made their cafe into a thriving place where patrons comes for the love, great service, food and to be a part of the Dovecote Community.

Absolutely one of my favorite places to be, cool vibes and great energy, great food and community.

Terrific food with very friendly staff

A cozy establishment where if everyone doesn’t know your name yet, they make an effort to. A casual and friendly establishment with DELICIOUS food (I got the frittata and their upside down peach cake yaaaaaaasss)

The best. Love this place and the owners are wonderful.

Great service and food! 10/10 recommend!

Nice place and the food was good.

Quaint and charmingly good vibes space hopefully they will reopen after pandemic

Service was awesome and the food was BANGING!!!

Cafe food... very delicious. Got there near five, it wasnt very busy. I think I might become a regular. It has an awesome atmosphere. I can see why they have so many reviews.

My favorite place for Cafe food. Arrived at seven, it wasnt crowded. The service was very helpful and welcoming. Bring your hunger - portions are large. Not close to my job, I wish it was.

First time visit to this Resevoir Hill location! I can certainly say that it was a really nice experience w a friendly diverse crowd. Customer service was great. Young lady behind the counter was very patient with my many questions about the brunch menu and bakery items. Brunch menu was limited, but still a nice selection. Environment was very relaxed n there was a live dj playing music that initially i thought was a little loud for so early, but after a few minutes, it just blended right in! Anyway, ordered the breakfast lasagna (pictured), corn muffin, iced coffee, and a bottled vegan juice. All was very good n quite filling. Wish I couldve tried all of the baked goods, but I could only eat so much so IIll save that for my next visit!

I tried to come here and show love to a black owned and operated business, but every time I come here its so slow three people left out without ordering because they were so slow, also they are always out of this or that but this morning was the worse. I waiting a half hour just for the young lady to tell me again they were out of what I wanted she suggested the spinach quiche...when I got to work and looked in the box I was so upset as to what I had...get it together ladies or the word will spread that you are in a great location with bad food and bad service... I run a leg org. They catered for us my Boss was so upset...we had a pastors round table and they brought bologna sandwiches and a bag of chips... no not cool at all... dont take advantage just because we want to support you...signed very disappointed

Amazing tea selection.

Great food and great vibes! Always feels welcoming and inspiring at the same time! Love this place!

Amazing. Great staff

Comfy spot... food made wit love.... much respect 2129

Good addition to the neighborhood. Casual all day care with a diverse menu that leans towards hearty sandwiches and other related fare. Tasty coffee. Food was good but not enough communication with kitchen. Asked for a runny egg and received a well done one. Otherwise, flavorful and well executed fare.

I loved the atmosphere of this place when I went there. It was a beautiful spring day, and most everything impressed us coming out of their kitchen. Try it out.

Are you kidding, they the bomb

I cant wait to go back!! The cinnamon bun cheesecake and banana nut bread was insanely delicious!! My new spot 💜💜💜💜💜💜💜

This is one of my favorite restaurants. I am a seafood lover and I can always find a dish I love when I eat here. The atmosphere is nice and the seafood is fresh. The service is good and they have nice cocktails.

I went here for a book signing. The location is extremely small, but the food looked and smelled amazing. I will definitely return so I can experience more of what this cafe has to offer. In the heart of historic Druid Hill.

Great place

Nice spot, I didnt eat the food but the coffee was standard. I would recommend off times because the place is pretty small. Great staff

Yes! This was my first time visiting but certainly not my last. This place is quaint, cozy, chill and tasty. Its positioned lovingly in the Druid Hill neighborhood and has so much charm. The staff is extremely warm and friendly. You can tell that they value relationships with all if their customers. Check it out! They will take great care of you.

Hands down the best breakfast I’ve ever had. At first I was skeptical about a $13 breakfast burger, but after eating it I would have paid twice that. The food is delicious, perfectly seasoned and tastes phenomenal. 10/10. Will eat here again and recommend to everyone

I had the biscuits and shrimp cake with grits served with a spicy mayo. The biscuits were phenomenal with bits of melted cheese baked into them and the shrimp cake and sauce were both pretty good. The grits were well made.My coffee and iced coffee were decent but nothing stand out. I did, however, love the to go cup because it had almost a corrugated cardboard exterior eliminating the need for a sleeve.They were out of my friends first two meal choices but this is a small kitchen and can be expected to happen from time to time. They ended up enjoying the spinach pie but unfortunately her last bite had a clump of nutmeg.Overall, it was a nice experience. The shop had a cool vibe and the staff was friendly.

Had been looking to try this place for awhile...totally worth the wait! I had the grown up grill cheese and it was amazing! The coffee was delicious as well! Will definitely return!!!

Great neighborhood spot for pastries and a good cup of Lady Grey tea. They sell the best tomatoes as well!

I just love this place its great very great polite fast service and I love the peach upside down cake ask the to warm it up for u its great make u wanna smack yo mama!!! And the atmosphere is very comfortable and homey very nice art work black owned restaurant.. Everything there is well worth the price definitely stop pass 1day you will never regret going and tell a friend about it to great place to go....

The food is always delicious. The atmosphere is always chill and fun. The owners and staff - welcoming and vibrant. The crowd - love and smiles; no bad attitudes tolerated nor welcome!Dovecote is that oasis in the city where you go to enjoy the atmosphere, the people, the music, and of course, the food - no pretense, no tensions; and you find like-minded folk, togetherness and community. Black love is beautiful, and Dovecote is a canvas of its many wonderful and heartfelt expressions and cultural appreciation.

Black owned business and can I just say I love it! Often times I love to sit out on the patio area and enjoy a ginger beer, while answering emails. Absolutely, loveeeee the food feels like I am at home! I would recommend.

The service is top notch and the food is awesome. Be mindful the shrimp and grits is only sold on the weekends... I will be back tomorrow 😉. I had the peach upside down cake... Better than moms (sorry Mom) and the grits and turkey sausage were flavorful and worth it... Will make this one of my go-to spots!

Love this little place. Great food. Warm, friendly people. Very comfortable and relaxed setting.In the middle of an up and coming neighborhood. Outside tables under a large shade tree. Just a cool place. Makes you want to be there.

I LOVE the vibes of Dovecote Cafe! The staff is always extremely friendly. And, the food is excellent. Its such an alluring, quaint environment. Love the art and the crowd this place draws. Definitely a hidden gem in the city! Will definitely begin spending some summer days here! So excited to be able to support a black owned business!

Honestly the best cafe shop in Baltimore! I absolutely love the service and the staff! Everyone here is very friendly and kind. Awesome place to read a book or catch up with some work!

Every time I go here folks are friendly. Great vibe. The juices are tasty and healthy, and the coffee is good. Planning to go here more this year.

Well, this place is fabulous. I just wish they had some fully plant-based alternatives, but I ate my parmesan on the fabulous kale salad and corn muffin gladly. Dressing was fabulous, but a little too sweet for me. I will know to ask for less next time. Lovely! UPDATE: dont really care what they serve and more vegan alternatives have appeared on the menu for sure. They show what real community can look like!!

Great place with outstanding food. It is a delightfully delicious place to eat. The staff was extremely polite and very friendly.

Good coffee and good atmosphere. I like that people are usually sitting and talking instead of working on their laptops. The pastries are tasty and I love that they sell random vegetables and fruits too. Service can be a little slow, so if youre in a rush for some Joe this probably aint the place. But this a place to chill and talk with the cool staff and enjoy life I guess.

Upon goggling places we decided to eat here joining with our college child to have breakfast, I’m a big supporter of any small business especially my people but my first experience was disappointing. My children my wife and I didn’t enjoy our serving, they wanted to leave upon arrival due to limited options but the environment had me thinking our experience would’ve been rewarding. Spending $177.02 and no satisfaction is depressing but it’s ok . My scrambled tofu was full of turmeric causing bitterness, the lasagna was not what expected, toast no butter etc ...

Dovecote Cafe is a charming spot in Reservoir Hill where both local residents and visitors to the neighborhood converge over fabulous coffee and hip, welcoming atmosphere. Dovecote serves only drip coffee- no lattes or other frilly drinks- but their selection is large and the flavors are rich. The coffee is probably the best I have found in Baltimore.Dovecote is a great place to meet with friends or colleagues, and also a spot where you can get independent work done. However, it is important to note that the cafe is so popular that it is sometimes difficult to find a table. But-- there is plenty of outdoor seating and other patrons are always happy to share their tables!If you are looking for fantastic coffee, inspiring art, an upbeat coffee shop vibe, and diverse group of coffee lovers, Dovecote Cafe is an absolutely necessary place to visit.

Lovely and homely place! Great food and fantastic people. We visited the cafe on their 4th anniversary and they had a small community fair which was very nice.

I enjoyed my visit to DoveCote this past weekend from start to finish. I received perfect customer service and help with a large brunch order. My bacon breakfast burrito was tasty. As a makeup artist on a photo shoot nearby, the food and coffee was the perfect way to take a short break from work. I hope to visit again soon.

Hip cafe to check out in an historic neighborhood. The service is slow, be warned, so to-go coffee isn’t really an option (expect a 10-15 minute wait for a cup of coffee; this is the average rather than the exception). if crowded, only come on a good weather day since seating is limited. Most food is heavy on oil, so choose carefully from the menu. They still have a lot of kinks to work out in terms of their speed and the menu pricing, but the community vibe is good and their hearts are in the right place. Would suggest to them: for to-go food, spare the tin foil and follow what coffee shop chains do. For the coffee, ditch the ‘how much milk’ showcards, it stresses some folks out with too much choice. Let folks pour their own cream, to speed things up. Take out one of the bathrooms to make the space for it. Put a closing mechanism on the front door, and a sturdier door handle. And keep up the great work serving the community with pride and encouraging pride in the community !

Excellent cafe in reservoir hill. The food is clearly fresh and made with quality ingredients and their bottled cold brew coffee is fantastic (I usually take cream and didnt even need any). Be prepared to spend a little extra but I will definitely be back for lunch.

Quaint, cozy Black Female Owned cafe with a friendly, welcoming staff and thee BEST R & B hits playing! 👌🏽😍💃🏽I stop by as often as I can. My must have is the fresh baked, buttery, toasted banana nut bread! SOOOOOO GOOD! Gotta get it early though because everyone obviously loves it as it always sells out. Such a gem in the neighborhood! Give them a try.

One of my FAVORITE brunch places in Baltimore. Has the best window seats and most kind staff. Food is even better!

Chill - excellent coffee and really stunning food. Everything made in house. The quality of food here is second to none. Great for meeting people. Doing work or just relaxing. Excellent patio space too.

So cute and small! Theyre food was very good and the atmosphere was very inviting! Love the music they played!

Stumbled across Dovecote Cafe today in need of a cup of coffee. This place is legit! Such an incredibly cool atmosphere and genuine local vibe. Coffee is pretty good and they gave a wide selection of teas. Would make a great casual breakfast spot. This is the kind of Baltimore business that needs our support. I only wish it was bigger!

Awesome! 👍🏾 The employees are very polite at this Cafe. I enjoyed a slice of peach upside down cake I believe. Plan on becoming a regular

I had a great time at this place with my friends. Its very laid back and cool!

Very friendly people work here and the coffee and food is great. I work a couple blocks away and this is the best spot anywhere close to here. Menu changes often and the offerings are always appealing its hard to choose between the 4-5 lunch options. Nice vibe in the shop with nice decor.

Great local spot for coffee and pastries served by friendly folks.

Awesome cafe..!! Hot and tasty coffee at a reasonable price. Will definitely visit this place next time.

Cozy. Local art. Local fruits and vegetables. Great sweets to accompany the morning coffee. Atmosphere unbeatable. A neighborhood cafe with awesome owners. They support local businesses. Its a great start to any morning.

Great atmosphere, food was good. It was a bit small but overall a great experience. The upside down peach cake is amazing.

The food was amazing! The daily menu impressed me. Had the potato soup with the grown up grilled cheese. Was a great pairing. Looking forward to coming back. Love the local fare, definitely a dope atmosphere.

Not only is Dovecote a beautiful little haven in a charming and historic Baltimore neighborhood, but every bite of food is magic. Dont leave without trying the peach upside down cake! The ownership and staff are so friendly that you will leave with your spirit filled as much as your stomach. Give yourself time for this experience as it is often bustling and best enjoyed when you have more than a few minutes to take it in.

BEAUTIFULLY CULTURED STAFF. GENUINE, EXCELLENT CUSTOMER SERVICE. LOVE THE VIBE AND ATMOSPHERE. PLEASANT SPOT FOR BRUNCH, TEA, SOCIAL EVENTS, AND MINGLING =)

I appreciate that I was able to eat a hearty meal that wasnt stripped of everything tasty. The area has either horrible fast food or horrible everything free (no gluten, no milk, no meat, no flavor). However, Dovecote has a happy flavorful medium. The cashier was very nice. The environment was pretty peaceful and I see that theyre a stop for the free traveling community farm; so, youll be able to buy fresh local veggies some days. They also have clear signs that everyone is welcomed in this cafe. They seem to be working on developing the brand more and I hope for the best and continued refinement. Im LOVING the delicious desserts from Juicyapplesco.

Very friendly staff and cute location. The only reason I took a star away is because i ordered certain things and never got them. The person at the front maybe didnt notify those in the kitchen but the things I did get were delicious

Great place! Everyone very friendly and the peach cake was delicious. Coffee tastes great and comfortable seating.

The food, coffee, and staff are always on point and the atmosphere is perfect for working or relaxing.

This is one of the friendliest places I have ever been. The baked goods were amazing, the turkey bacon made the breakfast sandwich. Highly recommend this place

Good food. Great atmosphere. Excellent service.

Good people food and coffee. Ambiance is wonderful. Would be a 5 start if they did a little interior cleaning of dust

Second time at this cafe, only got a drink the first time. Currently eating the shrimp gumbo over grits with a biscuit. Absolutely delicious! Might move here just for this cafe!!

Very zen!

Food was very good. Had the Scotch eggs and Eggs in purgatory with grits. Both dishes could have been a little larger though. Like two Scotch eggs instead of one. The dish was my size, am on a diet.

The best oatmeal in the world is at Dovecote. You should go get some. The coffee is excellent too!

Amazing spot for coffee and a quick breakfast.

A great find. Had the pleasure of dining here. It was a culinary delight, as well as demonstrating a friendly neighborhood vibe.

Small and cozy atmosphere. Better seating outside than inside. Vegetarian friendly. Friendly staff.

Really great people. Coffee is good; prices are a bit high. Some vegan food options would make this place super great.

Absolute flavorful deliciousness

Everything about the place is fantastic. The people, the artwork, the lighting, even the f---ing chairs. Its the kind of cafe you wish you lived above. Im actually literally still waiting for my food but its so nice I had to write this right now. Will update once Ive eaten.Edit: as I posted this one of the ladies who works here brought me a blueberry muffin for my wait. It hadnt been ten minutes yet. Love it.

A cozy community cafe in historic reservoir hill. They offer delicious food and drinks. A great for coffee or brunch with friends. I love this place and am glad to support.

Great service, good food. Good location for your remote office needs

I visited on my Graduation for lunch. The menu choices were great for my party. The Kenya coffee was excellent. Atmosphere was cozy.

Their coffee is great. I went there once and kept going back. Havent tried any food yet but I will next time, everything looks delish. Very friendly and accommodating staff. Rated only 4 stars because of waiting time.

Nothing but good things to say here. The staff and owners are so welcoming (they gave me a hug and welcomed me to Baltimore when I told them I was new), they care about and invest in their community, the decor is beautiful, and the food is delicious! I dont really drink coffee, but I liked their tea. What a wonderful place to be.

Great food! I had the crab cake sandwich...vegetarian. Delish. Would definitely go here again. We discovered this place after hearing the owner talk on a panel discussion (from the Light City art show) about food and entrepreneurs in the food business. We drove over from the Inner Harbor just to try it. We would go there again.

On a block in Baltimore with beautiful houses that I had never been to before. Warm and authentic environment, I feel like Im at someones house. Had the crawfish etouffe which had just the right amount of kick. Will be back soon.

I went there for the first time a year ago and they served burned home fries. I gave them a second chance today ....got cold coffee and cold toasted bagel! And the music is blasting hip hop 8:30 in the morning! I tried to support them but have not had a good experience. I’m not going back, waste of money.

I love this place. Great vibe
