Common Ground Cafe Cooperative · Baltimore, USA: Worker owned co-op, bought the shop out from the former owner after he shut it down. Best muffins I've ever had, awesome breakfast sandwiches, great coffee, amazing cookies. I love the Hampden Special sandwich and the seasonal Spritzmas drink, add Espresso! Extremely involved in the community (including giving out multiple meals to people who can't afford them each day), and LGBT friendly!! Also has neat prints and zines, a huge community billboard, and local artists exhibiting on the walls. 🩵
good neighbor · Baltimore, USA: Cute coffee shop, with a deceptively nice inn attached. I love their espresso sodas with their seasonal syrups. Yummy onigiri and paneer grilled cheese! It's usually extremely crowded so best not to do with a huge group, but they also have outdoor seating near their garden store!
Artifact Coffee · Baltimore, USA: Hipster coffee shop located in an old converted mill. Interesting sandwiches but the highlight is their japanese iced coffee, it's probably the best iced coffee I've ever had. All their drinks are extremely coffee forward, but if you like coffee it's amazing! I also enjoy their espresso tonic, but don't be afraid to add a bit of simple syrup if you need!
