Koba Cafe (mostly because no one’s mentioned it but it’s good)

Mindpub (good place to work- food is good and cheap)

The Bun Shop (vibes)

It’s actually not as clear cut. Cars are targets for carjacking, and people will assume you have $ if you’re getting out of a nice car. In Baltimore the perception is, if you’re taking public transit, you’re probably poor.

1. Artifact
2. Daily Grind
3. Common Ground

Ditto, i always get both their coffee and horchata and if there's any left, the pain au chocolat

Love that los sueños is one of my local spots but I gotta get peoples opinions on the “pour over to go” in the batch pots! 🤔

Definitely putting sophomore at the top! I really love good neighbor and the design elements of everything though

I have had this experience in the Mt Vernon store a bit, I tend to go to Baby's instead (the Bun Shop doesn't exist to me). I had coffee catered for an event from the Harbor East/Fells Ceremony location, though, and they were amazing. Perfectly punctual, prepared, and communicative. My boss wanted us to get Dunkin but everyone was so happy to have Ceremony.

I buy most of my beans there. I think it’s great.

I’m sure. I don’t doubt it. I do love Artifact though, and they’re always friendly in my experience. I’m sure there’s odd ones out, but I guess I’ve been lucky to always have positive experiences.

Actually that’s my number 3

The Metro unfortunately is 1/6th of the metro it was supposed to interface with, so while it is fast at getting you from Owings Mills to JHH, there are simply not that many people with both starts AND origins on that line.

This wasn’t enough critical mass to anchor employment in our traditional downtown.

If we extend add another line, then you add all the people with starts but no ends, and ends on no starts along the current alignment to start using it.

The light rail just has one of the worst conceivable alignments you could make in the city so it didn’t add much. But we could also allow development at some of the those sites and improve things.

About half the stations are just unused parking lots on the subway too, so developing those areas is some low-hanging fruit that we are taking very slowly

The coffee shop in the four seasons - done in when the atlas thing metastasized - was the dopest.

If you mean the place behind Safeway, Do is horrible.

Lmao their ~special~Earl Grey syrup or whatever 🙄 and no, she could not be bothered to hand me a cup of ice either. It was just a real head scratcher of an interaction.

>“too bad, we’re out of the ingredients.”

The missing ingredients being... ice?

Man I hate ceremony.

Best is dear globe. Not a fan of vagrant either.

It’s a mixed bag there. I’ve also had perfectly pleasant, if slow, service.

Fair. The Mount Vernon location has been like this for me. Not so much at the Harbor East or Cross Street Market ones. Harbor East is usually quick with their orders and pretty accommodating.

1. Charmingtons (Obama agrees)
2. Las Suenos
3. Sophomore

100% 😂 like I too was once the hipster giving terrible customer service, but now I’m just old and tired and want my goddamn iced London Fog.

That's crazy you have that experience. I had my car battery die the other day and someone who worked there agreed to go get jumper cables and help me start it right away. It was super sweet and it saved me from having to have my car towed.

This is legitimately the most Artifact thing I've heard in my life. I love them but their service can be wild sometimes 😂

Hell yeah, I’ll give it a go!
