The Land of Kush

★★★★☆ 4.1 (848) • $$

"This spot is close to our home and I saw it had good reviews so decided to check it out! It's small inside, but there is some seating if you choose to eat your food there as we did. The staff were very friendly and willing to answer questions. We ordered curry chickun, baked mac and cheese, and lentil patties. It was a short wait and our food was ready. My bf liked his lentil patties and I liked the taste I had. The mac and cheese is of course different from typical mac and cheese, but I still liked the flavor and texture of it. I loved the chickun curry! I didn't miss meat in this at all; the flavors and textures were awesome. I am not a vegan or vegetarian, but I still enjoy adding meatless meals and more veggies to my diet. I'll definitely return to this spot for more delicious food!"

Eggcellence Brunchery

★★★★☆ 4.2 (381) • $$

"Super cute restaurant with good parking and plenty of seating. Each table gets a fresh flower in a vase and placemats which I thought was great. The staff was friendly and attentive and immediately brought me (really good!) coffee and cream so that was great. I got the crab hash and it was delicious, my partner got the Maryland omelette and he was really pleased with that as well. The cinnamon bun was huge and so we split it, and the manager/owner was nice enough to share homemade jam. It was awesome! Finally, I can't say how elated I was to see a bottle of hand sanitizer at each table. It's nice to know that after I've used the same salt and pepper shaker half the free world has, I can just use a quick pump of the sanitizer they keep at the table, instead of having to dig it out of my purse every time I add additional pepper to my food (also they keep Old Bay seasoning on tap which I appreciate)."

Liquid Earth

★★★★☆ 4 (391) • $$

"I was in Baltimore for a conference and was so thrilled to discover Liquid Earth! It can be difficult to find good vegan food when traveling, but I had a fantastic meal here. The BBQ pulled tofu sandwich was amazing and tasted just like the real thing (or at least what I remember it tasting like!). They also had fresh guacamole that was amaaaaaazing.It's a small, unpretentious but clean and cozy space. The server was very attentive and we loved the Liquid Earth t-shirt about chopping the plants so you didn't have to hear them scream. Hilarious!!I also tried some sort of beet and ginger juice that I would normally not have tried, but it was amazing! Very fresh and delicious. Definitely check them out if you're in the area."

More Than Java Café

★★★★☆ 4.3 (284) • $

"I ordered the vegan breakfast sandwich & grits (I asked them to make them vegan by adding vegan butter and vegan cheese) they were more than willing to accommodate me. I love my experience, the customer service was great, food was great and vibes were great. I have not felt this good about a place in a while. Mr.Ronny the order I believe along with his wife made sure you felt comfortable and welcomed, he remembered everyone orders, served everyone with a smile. I am definitely will be coming, as a vegan it's hard sometimes to find places that will accommodate me and are tasty! They have great food andddd a whole vegan menu. Can't wait to come back!"

Pure Raw Juice - Federal Hill

★★★★☆ 4.4 (224) • $$

"One of my Facebook friends posted a pic of his Acai bowl from Pure Raw Juice this morning. I promptly got in my car and drove there & got the same exact bowl he did! Hawaiian Acai bowl, coconut, mango, kiwi and added bananas. It was so delicious! My best friend lives in the neighborhood and am there often. Parking can be an issue. But there are sides streets and you may have to walk a block or two. The Power bowls, Acai bowls, drinks are so worth it! The employees are so friendly and are always in a good mood! Go, just go!"

Pho Dat Thanh

★★★☆☆ 3.2 (407) • $$

"This place was once owned by another Vietnamese opener over 20 years ago. My mom and I use to go there every so often, Since returning to the area after retiring from the military, I decided to take my mom here after shopping.Needless to say the ambiance / vibe wasn't the same.No one greeted us when we walked in, it was about 3-5 min and we ended up seating ourselves.There wasn't anything on the menu that stood out so we got the Vietnamese crepe aka bạn xạo.although it was hearty it just didn't taste right. It wasn't cooked in coconut oil like it normally is and it wasn't as crispy. They served it with the "cheaper" lettuce and the dipping sauce was VERY off.We both also got the iced vietnamese coffee which of course wasn't vietnamese coffee.You could definitely taste it was another "off" brand.Needless to say, I wouldn't recommend this spot if you're in the mood for "authentic" vietnamese food as the new owners are not Vietnamese and are just "keeping" up with the "typical" vietnamese food items."

Tea Top

★★★★☆ 4.4 (187) • $$

"I love coming here for boba. Tea Top has the best boba and ambience in Ellicott City. I enjoy coming here to catch up with friends or to spend some time by myself to unwind with a book. In the month of February, Tea Top has a Valentine's Alpine rose green tea special. It's light, refreshing and has just the right hint of rose. It's perfect to treat yourself or share with your love. A special shout out to the staff for recommending this. I'm officially a fan of rose tea. I'll be back for more!"

Cafe June

★★★★★ 4.6 (148) • $

"Lovely cafe right in Ellicott City! The interior design themed around records and vintage music makes me feel very cozy and ready to get a lot of work done. You MUST try the croffle; it's such a sweet treat, with both crunchy and chewy textures and ice cream to top it off. I also tried the Einspãnner coffee, which had just the right amount of sweetness! I can definitely see myself coming back here to do work and treat myself to their AMAZING croffle."

Corner Juice Bar

★★★★★ 4.8 (128) • $$

"Personal service. You can tell they care about you having a good experience.The drinks are made to order, so you won't be getting it in 2 minutes. 6-10 minutes.Not much seating, especially on hot days where it may be packed inside.The fridge has Fiji water in it.I got the Mega C Juice, which has orange, ginger, lemon, beet, pineapple & apple in it. I also added Strawberry. The beet and strawberry mixed to make a beautiful fuchsia/scarlet color.It was a great juice. You can taste every flavor, and it doesn't fill you up. Very refreshing. 10/10"

Tea Do

★★★★☆ 4.1 (132) • $

"Visited Tea-Do for the first time yesterday and had a great experience! They have some great food options along with a large drink menu. The staff is very friendly and got our order out quickly.We tried some of the Onigiri (baked salmon, shrimp tempura, eel, and kani w/ seaweed), and they were great! The onigiri themselves were larger than we expected and came work spicy mayo to dip them in. We were pretty full with 2-3 per person.We also tried the Taiwanese Fried Chicken. They had both spicy and mild and we went with the spicy version. The chicken bites definitely had a kick to them! But they were crunchy, warm and had a nice taste.As for the drinks, I had the Thai Milk Tea that comes with the classic bubbles. I've had a lot of Thai Milk Tea, but Tea-Do is now my favorite! It doesn't taste diluted and has a good flavor. My fiancé had the Hello Kitty speciality drink and loved that! It was refreshing and the Star bubbles/gummies in the bottom were fun.Overall, we loved this place, and we will now probably be regulars! Definitely recommend it!"

Pure Raw Juice - Towson

★★★★☆ 4 (137) • $$

"I often find myself drooling over Pure Raw's bowl photos on Instagram, as I make my own yogurt bowls at home, with less fancy ingredients haha. I was delighted to finally have the opportunity to try their unique flavor combos, with some ingredients I've never heard of-like Pitaya, and some ingredients I never have in stock-like hemp seeds & matcha powder.We opted to split a Health Nut & a Matcha Mango- both were stacked with toppings, just the perfect amount to blend throughout the base- each had a really bold, yet delicately balanced flavor profile. Very delicious ingredients-fresh fruit-well tasting powders-and crunchy nicely seasoned granolaThe bowls are a nice large size, though at $10 each, I won't become a regular- I would love to go back to try some of the other flavors."

Love Life Cafe

★★★★★ 4.7 (90) • $$

"Two words.... Avocado Toast! Decided to give this place a chance after driving by a couple of times. I had to turn my preconceived biases about vegan spots off, and I am happy that I did. While LLC has many vegan options, they also carry vegetarian and items that contain regular dairy. Did I mention that they have amazing coffee as well. My wife is a chai latte enthusiast and she was well pleased with her drink. This was my first time here and it will not be the last. Wait! Staff and service were amazing as well. Ok. I'm done."

Rutabaga Juicery & Eats

★★★★☆ 4.4 (98) • $$

"I was truly saddened when the Rutabaga in Crofton closed because they made the absolute BEST açaí bowls. Fast forward to me doing a search and noticing Annapolis had a Rutabaga! (Cue the Confetti) I did a quick little search on Yelp and arrived at the Annapolis location. Not only do they have a drive thru, they also have a cute dining area. It's not big, but serves the purpose. I ordered my Sunshine bowl and before I could even look around, they were calling my name. The bowl was fresh, the portion was large and it was all oozing with flavor!!! ALL TIME FAVORITE!!! They also have smoothies, pressed juices, and different types of toast - avocado to name one. The staff were friendly and helpful. So excited and happy I found another Rutabaga in the area! I'll absolutely be a repeat customer!"

"This place was on my try-list for a long time and I'm so glad I came!I came here after I finished an exam following a stressful start to my week. The place immediately made my day! Bryan took my order at the register, and he had the most welcoming warm and positive energy. The place itself is small, but it is so cozy and charming.I ordered a BYOBreaky with sourdough, a runny egg, bacon, and veggies - it was absolutely delicious. I also got a Split and Griddled muffin at Bryan's suggestion and loved it. My "You're my Best Friend" drink was also great and the perfect temperature. I look forward to coming again soon!"

I had the green kiwi with mango poppers and unlike the website there is no real fruit but it was still exceptionally yummy to my tummy and I forget which one my Godson had but I think he had the strawberry milk tea but I think he absolutely"

"I was in the area for work and looking to grab coffee before my meeting and came across this place. It's a cute little shop with easy to find parking. The staff were nice enough, my latte was a little too sweet but otherwise it was good."

Pure Raw Juice - Hampden

★★★★☆ 4.1 (54) • $$

"Came here to get an açaí bowl even though they sell fresh made juices. The parking can be tough so the right timing is everything! Upon entering, you could smelled the cleanliness, meaning it smelled of fresh bleach, but not the overpowering type, just enough for you to know they take their store's cleaning seriously.The staff were pleasant and we ordered our bowls. The store is small downstairs, but has an upstairs area to sit and eat so that's a good thing!The bowls were fresh and good. The berries were plump and fresh, the granola providing the perfect crunch with the cold creaminess of the açaí on the bottom. If you're a texture person, this would be a great treat for you!All in all, one of the best places in Bmore for a nice smoothie bowl."

Tokoa Cheesesteak

★★★★☆ 3.7 (56) • $$

"We live close by CP area and wanted to give this place another chance. If we didn't get subs this good this time, then we I would only give 4 stars. We've tried this place 3x. First time was epic- gigantic pickle on my cheesesteak?! Heck yes! Sign me up! The second time, there were hardly any toppings- what- disappointment! And the third time made up for the second. The taste and toppings were there but the first time was really the best. The meat is flavorful and plentiful and the bread is soft, doesn't break down when you squeeze the sub. We have mostly used delivery services like uber eats and grub hub so I cannot speak to the ambiance of the place but uber eats was the best of the 2 deliveries. If you come to CP, I hope you get a chance to bite into this massive sub of yumminess!"

Rise Up Nutrition

★★★★★ 4.6 (33)

"I have been wanting to visit this place for a while. Finally got a chance to make it during open hours. I got the shake and tea combo and I made 2 great choices with the snickers shake and the deadpool tea which is a combination of raspberry and pomegranate. Both very refreshing and nutritious."

Rise Up Coffee

★★★★☆ 3.9 (45)

"I've ordered here a handful of times whenever I'm in the area. My coffee of choice is a medium french vanilla iced latte. I've tried their burritos, breakfast sandwiches, tots, and breakfast potatoes. The burritos are hearty. They definitely don't skimp out on the fixings inside. My favorites are the local burrito and the Rise Up burrito. I enjoy their breakfast sandwiches, but prefer to get it on bread other than their biscuit. I'm not a fan of their biscuits (or biscuits in general). The breakfast potatoes are decent. I love their tots, and you can customize them with sauces and/or meats if you're feeling spunky. I like that you're able to customize (add and leave out) your item to get exactly what you want. You are charged extra for add-ons.I deducted a star because there have been several times where something has been left out of my order or something is wrong with my order. I usually order online and take it home, so I don't know something is wrong until later. I've had the flavoring left out of my coffee (twice), the wrong bread on my sandwich, avocado and other items that cost extra left out of my burrito or sandwich.The staff is always welcoming and friendly whenever I'm in. The sandwiches and burritos can get pricey if you add on items, but everything is made to order and fresh. I usually order online for pickup inside. Pickup orders are on the back counter. When the store gets crowded, people tend to stand in front of the pick up counter, so you'll have to ask them to move out of the way to see the names on the bags. When you order online, you accrue points for various free items or add ons. One thing I did want to note is that tipping is mandatory when ordering through their website (or at least it has been for me). You can chose the percentage you want to leave, but there's no way to un-click the tip option. I prefer to tip in cash when I go to pick up my orders, but through the website is fine as well. I just wanted to mention it. The only negative for carryout is that the food sweats in the containers they use, so by the time you get to your destination, your food can be soggy and stick to the paper they use.Overall, I enjoy their food and customer service. I wouldn't hesitate to return if I'm in the area again."

Pure Green- Columbia

★★★★★ 4.6 (29) • $$

"I'm not sure how I've missed this place but I'm glad I found it. They have a variety of smoothies, healthy shots, toasts, and cold pressed juices to choose from. Very clean aesthetic, nice relaxing playlist, and service was good. They have juice cleanse options as well which is nice. I'll definitely be back for more!"

Blendabowl

★★★★★ 4.8 (24)

"My favorite acai bowls on the planet! A friend introduced me to acai last year at their food truck. Today blendabowl finally opened their store in Pasadena. I have been patiently (well not that patient) waiting for this moment. The second I saw them post about opening I ran right over. Their new store is super cute and clean. They have a bunch of employees to make the process go super smooth. The emoyees are still training since they just opened today so be patient! My go to is the acai bowl with strawberries, bananas, blueberries, cacao nibs and almonds. The bowls are always super consistent and delicious. They offer a loyalty punch card that scores you a free bowl after the purchase of 12. Might sound like a lot, but for most of their customers, that can be done in no time!Blendabowl is very popular and can often times get busy. To avoid waiting you can place your order online. The staff is super friendly and genuinely cares about their customers. I am soo excited to have more frequent access to blendabowl with their new store. It will be a blessing and a cur$e :)"

Theo’s Rolls and Bowls

★★★★★ 4.6 (26)

"I am on vacation and taking time to leave this review! This is hands down the best lemongrass pork I have ever had. I'm not Vietnamese but am from SF, where I thought standards were high. I was completely blown away by this lemongrass pork bowl for a number of reasons:(1) You can taste that the pork was marinated for 24 hours using high quality lemongrass.(2) The marinade was not overly sweet, as many places are to accommodate the American palate.(3) The way they grilled the meat delivered a "just right" smoke flavor. I will be dreaming of this dish until I visit Baltimore again!"

Althea’s Almost Famous

★★★★☆ 3.9 (36)

"Okay, so I forgot to get a picture before I dug in, and by the time I realized I hadn't I had already enjoyed a good amount. So excuse the messy plate lol. I decided to give them a try at the Laurel Main Street Festival. I ordered the curry chicken with coco bread. When they were making my food, they told me they had run out of curry, so I could get something else. A few minutes later, they "found" some. It was a generous portion of food (two could share) that came with rice and peas and cabbage. Everything was flavorful and delicious. I'm also happy that the curry was a bit spicy. I know some places don't include peppers, but they did. My only complaint is that my chicken had quite a bit of bones in it. I'm wondering if it's because I may have been given the last of what they had. Other than that, it was very good."

Pure Raw Juice - Canton

★★★★☆ 3.9 (32)

"This little Snack shop is right next door to sprouts grocery store. I stopped in to look inside, it was super clean and inviting I immediately had to try the *new* blue dream bowl. The service was really nice & had my bowl ready super quick! The Blue Dream is frozen bananas, pineapple, blue spirilla blended and topped with granola (really good and crunchy) fresh kiwi, strawberries, pineapple and shredded coconut.The smallest size I could order seemed like way too much but I almost finished it, it was really good. Not very overwhelming in any flavor but I noticed the banana and the pineapple as well as the granola texture. I don't frequent Açaí bowl or smoothie places so this was a bit out of my wheelhouse. I would return here and try something new or even get the blue dream again."

Kung Fu Tea - Ellicott City

★★★★★ 4.7 (22)

"The new location is really much nicer than the previous one. Service was great and fast. I think the prices are getting a little too high. I bought four large milk teas and it was $25. That seems a bit crazy, but I guess it will be a treat once in a while. There is also a menu for food that I will have to try on the next vis"

Pure Raw Juice - Harford Mall

★★★★☆ 3.8 (27)

"The best!! I've tried so many acai places and pure raw remains one of my favorites. Their acai bowls are refreshing and super filling! Favorites are the Hawaiian and the matcha mango bowl. I also love their pressed juices and smoothies!! I always order from here for a snack or energy boost at work :)"

Playa Bowls

★★★★☆ 3.5 (31)

"My first experience here a few weeks ago was fabulous so I came back and brought one of my daughters. She loved the fun murals on the walls and the pictures of surfing and water below the bar. As I said in my last review, the space is bright, clean, fun and there is a lot of room. They even have two bathrooms that are spacious and clean. The staff are warm, welcoming, helpful and friendly.I got the Acai power bowl (acai base with chocolate, peanut butter, granola and bananas) and my daughter got a strawberry and banana smoothie. The acai bowl was again fantastic. Smooth, soft, sorbet-like texture to the acai and perfectly complemented by the toppings. The only reason I'm giving 4 stars and not 5 is that my daughters smoothie was quite bland and lacking in flavor. I don't know if it was the coconut milk they use, or if the strawberries weren't that flavorful, but it was a bit of a disappointment. I would go back for sure but would stay away from the smoothies and stick with the acai!"

Pure Raw Juice - Locust Point

★★★★☆ 4.4 (18)

"I love this location. The staff here are extremely friendly and efficient. I usually call ahead and it is always ready when I arrive. My favorite is the traditional açaí bowl. I usually throw in a flu shot as well. Great place!"

"Several of the flavors were out; those that were there were a mushy/watery consistency. Several of the toppings were either out or old. The marshmallows were stale. The chocolate syrup was an off brand. However, the staff was friendly."
