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.

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.

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.

This place has (or had when I went anyway) an amazing lavender and honey latte. I highly, highly recommend it if you like lattes, and dont mind some added sweetness. The honey is subtle and not overpowering, and the lavender, well, Im not really sure I tasted or even know what it tastes like, but I liked the sound of it. Seriously, a very good drink. The staff are polite, too. The place has got a little hipster vibe to it and is fairly cozy to sit down at.

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.

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.

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.

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 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.

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.

A great new addition to Bolton Hill! The coffee is excellent, the pastries are yummy and the atmosphere is perfect for meeting a friend, reading a book or studying for a bit.

$9 for lunch time soup?! Even B Bistro Restaurant only charges $8 for soup on their dinner menu. Tasteless food, massively overpriced.

So far so good ..love the new place enjoyed the old too but much more to offer. And the desserts are off the chain..I work in the area

Awesome selections. Very quaint! Best kept secret. Pricing is quite reasonable too! Watch out Starbucks, seriously!!!!

Delicious spot for breakfast and coffee. Try one of their egg sandwiches, which is served on freshly baked bread
