I don’t hate ceremony, I have just had a dozen or so bad experiences with them. Seemingly snobby, impatient employees annoyed/uninterested in serving customers. Coffee is good, customer experience is bad.

It's been 20 years now I guess 😭

I remember Funk’s! I went there before I was old enough to go to bars. I remember being really stoned with my girlfriend at the time,and some guy tried to teach us how to play Magic the Gathering, this was around’93 or so, the game had just come out, we were not interested! I also remember hearing live music there as well.

Number 1 by a large margin. They are untouchable

1. Cafe Los Suenos
2. Good Neighbor
3. Carma’s
4. Bird in Hand

Cafe los suenos hands down!!

The service at Artifact is dismal. A 20 year old in her grandmother’s bowling shirt and cat ears rolled her eyes at me and said “too bad, we’re out of the ingredients.” After she’d looked me in the eye, taken my order where I’d asked for an iced London Fog, and then proceeded to make it hot. I even apologized to her like I was the asshole.

Not to mention the time I found a staple in my oatmeal.

That's funny - I love it for all those things too, AND the coffee.

I always get two Iced Red-Eyes w/ no cream or sugar.

Fantastic to sip that outside looking at the water while thinking/writing - It's all atmosphere. There may be better coffee elsewhere, but that doesn't matter much to me. Places like in front of the the Daily Grind or sitting at the bar by the window at Dooby's or Cafe Fili just work beautifully for me as places to chill, observe and think.

Coffee is an experience.

I loved it for it's plentiful seating, solid wifi, and relatively low price. I hated it for it's coffee.

Los Sueños is great! Out of the way for me during the week, but I'll drive there on weekends

Curious why you hate Ceremony?

I'm a fan of Good Neighbor and Vent myself

Respectfully, I hate it so much.

This is my list, just reverse it!

Black Acres is in OpenWorks (where Greenmount Coffee Labs was) and it’s excellent! I highly recommend it

1. Ceremony
2. Sophmore
3. Cafe Dear Leon
4. Artifact

Funks was something special. Thought nobody else remembered.

I’m 34, lived around Baltimore my entire life and lived in the city proper for the last 13 years. I’ve never been on the Baltimore metro. I’ve never even been in a situation where I was considering it.

Baby's On Fire

At the risk of blowing up my apparently secret spot: Café Los Sueños has great drinks, beans, and stocks Oven Bird baked goods.

1. Dunkin on Biddle St
2. Dunkin on Guilford Ave
3. Dunkin in Penn Station

RIP Funks Democratic Coffee Spot

Phase 2 was supposed to connect to the Penn Line at a new station in Madison Square , along with continuing to Morgan State University and out to White Marsh.
