Bird In Hand

My 3-star rating is only because I didn't enjoy my iced chai tea. I'm a huge lover of chai tea, so I feel like my review might not reflect everyone's experience. I also have a sweet tooth, so I would have preferred it to be sweeter, but it wasn't (again, not a big deal). However, I think this shop is so unique and cute, and if I were a university student, I would 100% spend my time here.The staff was incredibly nice and accommodating, especially since it was my first time there. They helped and assisted me with my drink selection. I would definitely come back to try something different on the menu because I feel like my current review doesn't do this place justice. This shop probably has really tasty drinks I just need to try something else!

Great coffee! Wonderful ambience and the food was excellent! Blueberry muffin was great too!Clean and plenty of staff so hardly any wait! Love all the books!

Decent cafe next to Hopkins campus. Came here around midday on a weekday with some friends and seating was sparse. This seems to be a popular study spot for Hopkins students.The inside was well-decorated with lots of books and seating. Service was quick and kind. Food and drinks were eh. My friend tried the apple cider matcha and did not like it. Another friend got an iced caramel latte and the milk was curdling in the drink. I had a turkey grilled cheese which was $11 and pretty thin and unimpressive (my friend got a ham grilled cheese and thought the same thing). The bird's club sandwich looked like much more bang for your buck though. Would recommend that instead.Overall: meh busy college student cafe in Baltimore with hit or miss food and drinks but a nice ambience.

Super cute bookstore by the Hopkins undergrad campus. Bird in Hand is also owned by the owners of Ivy Books in Roland Park. Bird is Hand is really a cafe/bar with books. It's a good combo of both. They have lot of tables for sitting and a water station. I do love their wall of staff recos and new books but it's not the biggest selection of books, but well curated for sure. I always find something I want to read here, I first saw Yellowface here and was reminded of The Virgin Suicides. The coffee is always solid and they have fun kombucha and sparking water selection, and they also have wine! A good place to stop by if you're in the area for a drink or a browse for a new read!

My first visit, made this one of my favorite coffee shops in the city. The highlight was definitely the sandwiches. The bread was soft! The Jalapeño scone...jaw drop...no crumbs left on the plate. I love the vibe here because there's books everywhere and a spot in front to be some local goods. The only thing is, sometimes you walk into a coffee shop and get a little snide look from the workers. I definitely got that here. I wasn't greeted upon entering, which is fine, but the guy taking our order just didn't seem to want to answer my questions or to be there. Everyone else seemed great though! Overall that doesn't taint the experience because I'll def revisit.

Yummy coffee, good amount of seating and space inside. Really cute coffee shop and book store. Lots of options and room to spread out. Also has pastries as well.

I love the ambiance of this place. It's on the corner nice and tucked. The flavor options are unique. I got an iced rosemary honey latte and it was delicious. The cafe houses a bookstore as well with a plethora of cool books, also the music selection here is top tier. Definitely a place to get work done and relish in the moment.

Every Christmas my family gets excited to visit Bird and Hand! The vibes are wonderful, the barista are very kind and personable, and they also recommend a book that I got for Christmas. All together the Bird in Hand is a must visit in Baltimore

I'd say this is a cute spot. The food was not impressive, I'd skip. The coffees on the other hand, I do recommend. I'd give this spot an overall 3.5 because of the vibe and friendly staff. Check out more food spots on Instagram /Tik Tok: @thefoodhigh
