I have been to most, if not all, of the coffee shops in the D.C. area, and M.E. Swings of Alexandria consistently pull the most amazing shots of espresso from their NS "Black Eagle". The grinders at the back of the bar are used exclusively for single origin. I have had great experiences at The Coffee Bar and Chinatown Coffee Company, and both are metro accessible.

I will be going to a conference next week in Baltimore that is located at the Baltimore Convention Center (I'll be staying at the Sheraton Inner Harbor, no car). Mapping all of the suggestions from the original post from this thread, it looks like Sidewalk Espresso Bar is about 15 minutes away (on foot). I'm wondering if anyone has any additional suggestions within a convenient walk near the Inner Harbor area of Baltimore?

THANKS!

PS I don't know DC/Baltimore geography well enough to have been able to find earlier references to anything by the Harbor. If this has already been addressed elsewhere in this thread, please feel free to just redirect me.

EDIT: I just saw that the cafe seems to have been renamed (or something) Cafe Tesfa ...

Also, keep in mind that Baltimore does have a light rail system which you could map out for further adventures.

Would recommend highly Cafe Tesfa on Washington Blvd. Great espresso and really good cold brew on nitro. Argosy cafe in the Munsey apartment building has opened and seems cool.

Thanks for all your help guys. Went to two different Peregrine locations and both pulled stellar shots. Good experiences at the coffee bar (my SO loved her cold brew) and Chinatown coffee. Subpar experience at swings on G street in my opinion.
