Baltimore-Washington DC Coffee Shops - Page 4

Thanks, Eric, for keeping it current!

You're quite welcome.

There's a couple of other shops in the Baltimore area I have not visited (names escape me at the moment) and friendly competition is only making it better in this entire area.

I sure didn't see the price on the menu, but I cannot disagree with your photographic evidence: it is there! Nevertheless, I won't order that preparation there again. Which is fine as the espresso is tasty and the treats are as well.

LAMILL is inarguably a nice addition to the scene. The unfortunate aspects of Woodberry and now LAMILL is that they function more as destinations than neighborhood places; I think Spro nicely falls into the latter category. Hopefully, all three will help elevate the Baltimore coffee scene and soon as I'm impatient (must be all the caffeine).

Just stumbled upon this. Near Woodberry Kitchen and from their coffee/ownership team (?).

2012 = more good coffee in Baltimore (or at least one neighborhood of the city)!

Yes! Apparently it's sort of a resurrection (see here for more on Artifact's backstory). I'll look forward to checking the place out once it's opened.

Yes, we are the same team as the old Artifact Coffee. It's going to be very exciting year for coffee in the Baltimore/DC area (LAMILL & Madcap?! Awesome) Both Spike and I are incredibly excited to reopen the doors of Artifact Coffee in it's brand new location. We are heavy into the buildout process right now. Hope too see you all there for our opening, sometime in February or March.

Exciting, Allie! Which roaster(s) will you be going with at Artifact?

#37: Post by **skittles_s** » January 10th, 2012, 5:06 pm

Madcap? What's this? It's new(s) to me! Any details?

I look forward to visiting your new endeavour as well, Allie.

MadCap's coming to D.C., apparently:

Another feather in DC's hat. I already visit Peregrine or Chinatown when passing through town; it looks as though I'll be adding another destination to my list.

Baltimore needs more good coffee in parts of the city other than the Hampden/Mills area. LAMILL has brought quality coffee to Harbor East. I hope the Canton/Fells area shops will step-up in kind.

I stopped by Pitango in Fell's Point today and was glad to see that they've switched from Zeke's to Counter Culture. They are pulling Toscano on the Faema (I understand they may eventually get a LM). The espresso was done well (if a little long) and represents a big improvement over their previous offering. They also have beans for sale (Apollo, Toscano, La Frontera) but they were a bit on the older side. FYI.
