Black Acres Roastery - Open Works

Great coffee and pastries. Nutella filled croissants and crogel. It's a walk up window but service was still good. Outdoor seating was a nice vibe.

My annoyance is that while the hours say open at 8, that's only the to-go window...so you actually can't go in and sit until 9. It might be really nice space inside but I don't know that. Sigh.

Black Acres Roastery is my new favorite work space! Cafe Fili reigned supreme for quite some time but it's becoming increasing crowded over the last year around lunch time. I needed a quieter space.I found it in Black Acres Roastery. It's quite, spacious, and just want I needed. There were lots of seasonal drinks made with sweet potato syrup, maple syrup, etc. since it was my first time I stuck with regular drip coffee. There's nothing regular about their drip coffee. It is scrumptious!! I also tried the Apple danish. I almost didn't get it because it was rather big. I got it warmed up. First bite I knew I made the right decision. It was DELICIOUS! So damn good! It was only 1 Apple Danish left in the container. If there were more I would have gotten one to eat later. 100% recommend

Great coffee, nice space and a friendly team. They also sell coffee (whole bean and ground) for you to make at home.

Black Acres Roastery is located inside of Open Works, a co-working and maker space that hosts skill building workshops related to technology. I love the concept of Open Works because if you know me, you know I love all thing's accessible and affordable for my community. But on to Black Acres lolOverall, I really enjoyed my first time at Black Acres! The staff was very personable and helpful, I even overheard the person at the register helping a woman around the menu. It's always refreshing to be met with staff that's willing to answer your questions. They have a pretty fun selection of lattes, coffees, and tea beverages. You can even buy their Colombia Aponte Honey roast at the Trader Joe's in Towson (that particular one is a bit too light for my cold brew heart).Besides the staff being the obvious stars of the show, they have this genius bagel that I never knew I needed. Gather around as I sing the praises of their Crogel! You heard me, it's the cronuts savory hip cousin. A croissant, thinly sliced and topped with everything seasoning in the shape of a bagel. It was so savory and yummy, I need a pack of 5 at my local grocery like yesterday.I also got the marrakesh morning and yuzu cold brew. The marrakesh was sweetened just right. The yuzu cold brew was refreshing but more citrus forward than I was anticipating. I also bought a pack of their single serve decaf packets! Check them out if you want a break from your regular coffee work spot and are looking for some light fare. Overall a very neat place, and a nice addition to the greenmount area :)

I am all for supporting small, local coffee roasters so I was really excited to check this out with my friend! The coffee shop is located inside Open Works, it has easy access in and outside the building, relaxing yet productive vibes. The high quality coffee drinks were made in a timely fashion. I highly recommend the matcha latte!

If you love coffee, you must stop by Black Acres Roastery. One of two locations in Baltimore, this one is inside a co-working space with a mission to empower local small businesses and creators. Inside is Black-owned Black Acres Roastery selling a full coffee menu from classics to specialty drinks like a baklava latte. (If you like more sweet drinks, order one.) They also sell pastries locally made like muffins, coffee cake, cruffins, etc. For a more substantial breakfast, order the breakfast sammie. If you add bacon, it's really delicious!

Black Acres Roastery is located in what seems to be a studio space. They offer ample parking and a variety of caffeine beverage from teas to cold brew. I had ordered the Salt Bae ($5.50), which was rich and creamy in the salted caramel flavor mixed in with espresso milk. I had paid for the Nitro Cold Brew ($5), but the barista said they were out and instead got a regular cold brew which normally I would understand, however I did pay extra for a nitro cold brew and did not receive anything in return. The cold brew was good, but for the small size, this cafe is a bit expensive. There is enough seating room and I do believe in supporting small businesses, but I was not content with my experience here.

One of THE best coffee experiences I've had in a long time! The Gingerbread Latte was amazing and the warmed almond croissant was the perfect blend on flaky and decadent! Definitely returning to the Greenmount location again and again!

Great coffee, very eclectic selection. I got the impression that the people working there were irritated at the time I arrived (well after opening), so the service was not very welcoming
