The Bun Shop - Baltimore

Literally the perfect bakery/cafe. They've got unique and original drinks and pastries, all of which are homemade in house. There drink menu is not only expansive but also absolutely delicious, featuring items such as the Hong Kong (latte with earl grey tea and of course their signature Vietnamese (drip coffee or cold brew, depending on if you order it hot or iced, with a shot of espresso and sweetened condensed milk . They also offer teas, for those who don't drink coffee, but I'm so obsessed with their iced mocha that I haven't had the opportunity to try any of them. Plus, an absolutely incredible indoor atmosphere with plenty of seating. I can't reccommend them enough. The only problem is that the bathroom... is in rough shape. It smells, the floor is constantly wet, and the sink hardware is in various states of disrepair every time I use it. Just avoid that and everything is great :

Cafe with very unique atmosphere and late night hours. Very cozy, free wifi, good drinks, lots of seating and outlets with street parking right outside. Perfect for night owl students

This is a unique coffee/tea/bun shop located on Read St. I went around 8p and it was packed but I was able to find a solo table/chair/outlet to do some work on my laptop. This cafe offers free WiFi but you must buy something to be able to use their facility. The barista was super friendly and made a great menu suggestion. I ended up getting the honey matcha latte (hot) and it was very delicious. The space is not your typical bright and updated shop. It’s eclectic with non-traditional work stations like couches, benches, random table/chair combos etc. As many reviews suggested, it’s dark inside which made it a little difficult for me to see as someone who wears glasses. Luckily, I was able to grab a seat under a lamp which helped a great deal. I appreciate this space though because it was very diverse (patrons ranged from 20s-40s of different races/ethnicities) and it stays open late!! I stayed until about 10p on a Monday but they don’t close until 3am daily (7a-3a 7 days per week). Soooo awesome. This is not a quiet study hall atmosphere so it may not be a good place for tasks that require quiet backgrounds like meetings or test-taking. Otherwise, I highly recommend this spot for late night study/work/lounge sessions and tasty lattes. I would give this a 5 if there were more seats that provided back support as well as reading lights to help the people that are 30+ like me lol.

Little diluted coffee. Too dim light in the cafe. Not many options of buns. However, buns were super delicious !!!

The honey macchiato here is delicious! It’s sweet, but not too sweet. The atmosphere here is also very relaxed and the staff is friendly. I also ordered the breakfast bun and while it’s didn’t feel like my cup of tea I could see why others like it so much. I think next time around I’ll try some of the other buns that they have instead.
