I love Park cafe! The interior is beautiful, with a garage door that blends the indoor and outdoor seating when the weather is nice. Their coffee is fantastic (the serve Ceremony coffee) and their food is amazing too. They also have a seasonal drink menu, with different smoothies, cider, etc.

Park Cafe is fantastic--all their espresso is on point but the food is even better! Test the tahini toast and the grits--you wont be disappointed!

Located in a beautiful part of town with ample street parking, this quiet cafe is sunny and pleasant. I came in at lunch time but my order was filled quickly. I got a breakfast sandwich and a latte- both were delicious! Many vegan and vegetarian options.

This is a delightful little cafe nestled in historic Bolton Hill. They have a standard menu done with a flair featuring coffee, sandwiches, soup, salads and a limited dessert selection. I found the staff to be courteous and helpful and the space is WiFi compatible. Its easily a place Id make a return visit!

I like this cafe all year round, but spring and summer are a great combination of goods at this place. The uniqueness is in the big folder doors that spill the cafe onto the sidewalk in a quaint section of Baltimores MICA art district. Enjoy a cup of Joe from around the world and take care of business on your laptop from one to high tables and chairs and sip as interesting students/neighbors march by.

I havent tried their food but I love their coffee and the place is so adorable. Perfect spot to do work or meet for a date. I love that there is plenty of free street parking in the area, this is sort of rare for Baltimore. I also like when it is warm enough for them to open all the large windows. Basically transforms the place from a cozy indoor space to a welcoming open air cafe.

Amazing food, great atmosphere, delicious coffee and wonderful staff. The staff in a cafe this small can make or break it and they certainly make it!I have always found this place to be a wonderful place to sit, work, eat, work more, eat more, and have great conversations.One tip (happened to a colleague the last time I was there...it was his first time at Park), the bottle near the water area is simple syrup...not water. That was a mistake he regretted for a while.

Cute and quaint cafe. Everything is recyclable like cups. Only downside is that it is extremely hot in there in the summer time

I often meet people here to talk. The staff was very friendly and kind. Prices were fair for the quality of the food. Mood here is similar to Fresnos scene.

Review №25

The atmosphere is nice but the drinks lack subtlety. I had a red mocha which was a cayenne cinnamon latte but the cayenne proportion destroyed the hints of cinnamon and actual coffee flavour.On top of that, both my drink and my wifes drink was served well below latte temperature. I should not be able to drink the whole beverage immediately.Ill return to try it again but I dont have trust in the current staffs knowledge.

Great little neighborhood Cafe. I think they have some of the best tasting coffee in Bolton Hill.

Exceptionally good coffee! Very good sandwich and cakes. Do try their lemonade with a shot of espresso! Yes you read that right.

Review №28

Their hot drinks are bland in flavor even if they do have an excellent presentation. The lavender latte had no lavender. On the Hill Cafe is much better for their hot drinks if you dont mind the smug service to go along. My son did not like his hot chocolate and said it was watery and very foamy. Cold drinks are much better. They experiment with sandwich ingredients that complement each other well but the bread to ingredient ratio is in favor of the bread. I love their converted garage space which has decent seating and proper layout. I like how the owner interacted with the kids from Mt. Royal who were running in and out of his spot after school. He was calm and gave them water. I guess he also has samples sometimes because they asked for those. Explained to them to use the glass and not waste paper products. Nice mix of staff and always very nice. They brought my food outside to me when they saw my dog was not happy with being left alone.

Super hip friendly environment! If you want a relaxed coffee shop with good quality beans and nice baristas, come here. I can always count on the mint mojito iced coffees to freshen up my day.

Best underrated coffee shop in Baltimore. The garage doors are open in the summer, and in the winter, the front of the store is all window! Wonderful roasts, delicious sandwiches, and trendy workers.

I googled a coffee shop that was nearby while I was driving. Seemed like a really nice spot. I walked in and didnt get a greeting. As I was leaving two other people came in and didnt receive a greeting either. Im really big on customer service. The young lady didnt open her mouth. Low energy and no personality. Since I couldnt get help I looked at the menu to see what they served. I ended up getting drip coffee and a Jewish tea ring. They dont have splenda and the substitute was truvia. I dislike truvia so I used cane sugar. Before leaving I had to ask if they had bags because the other low energy young lady failed to give me one. So she expected me to walk out with a pastry with just saran wrap over it. The pastry was stale and I believe it may have been made out of old croissants. I can deal with food that doesnt taste great as long as the customer service is on point. It was horrible so I will not be coming back.

Get the tomato soup if they have it. It comes with croutons made from a grilled cheese sandwich. And the pork wrap is off the charts.

Outstanding macchiato with a well pulled shot and about an ounce of well steamed foam. Nice decor, cool neighborhood. Friendly but simple service. Fast. The food (double egg sandwich) was great. From one barista to another - portafilters up for a job well done.

This place sucks. The cucumber avocado gazpacho was served hot, and the chicken salad sandwich, which had very little chicken salad on it, was served on stale bread. Waste of money. Stick with On The Hill.

Review №53

I would have to say repeatedly disappointed. Over priced and poor food quality. Most importantly the staff are so unenthusiastic, unhelpful, and undeniably the worst. I have gone multiple times to get behind the business residing in BH since 1995 and I cant do it anymore. The last time I was there specifically, the staff was closing an hour in advance. They made it clear I was not welcome. I ordered a meal, after 20 minutes I inquired about my meal. They said, oh you did not sign the tablet. Confused he said, well you did not sign so your order did not process, They quickly tossed the responsibility to the kitchen person who clearly was told to close things down. She threw soup in my bowl 1/2 full and the poor girl threw cold quinoa salad onto my plate. Both of which I requested to be re -done. With sighs and frustration... ate a few bites and left. The staff since the day the opened has been terrible. Its a dead zone in there... like no smiles, no happiness no joy and zero accountability. Dont waste your time.

The sandwich sounded good on the menu, but it was very small and with very little ingredients so the bread overpowered the taste. Unfortunately it wasnt cheap and Im still hungry after eating it.
