MJ's Cafe and Baking Company

Tried this place for the first time this weekend. My wife enjoyed the breakfast sandwich on a croissant and I feasted on the tasty and hardy farmer's BLT on wheat. For drinks we had unsweetened ice tea and hot coffee. Unfortunately my wife didn't really like her tea and my coffee was just okay. The waitress did remove the tea without question which was unexpected and nice. Friendly and efficient service and a clean comfortable setting. We'll definitely be back again

A brief review for now as I have only gone here once and have had exactly 1 menu item. The place is a relatively spacious cafe with a main larger dining room and a smaller room off to the corner. Maybe about 8-10 tables in the main room and another 4 or so in the side. Menu largely features sandwiches, breakfast baked goods, soups and salads. There were 4 different special sandwiches also running. I had a turkey baguette sandwich special. It was turkey, gouda with lettuce, tomato and a honey ginger dressing. The sandwich was good with a nice portion of meat (probably 1/4 to 1/3 lb) but the star of the show was the baguette. It was served slightly warm with a nice crispy outside and soft buttery inside. It came with a bag of chips and was a decent value for $8. They had a sign saying that they would be selling artisan breads soon. It might be worth coming back just to pick up some bread. Staff was a very friendly and service was good. Seemed like a very leisurely paced kinda place so if you're in a hurry, probably call ahead. They are still relatively new and are building their menu so I look forward to trying them again.

Visiting MJ's was an absolute delight! The staff, atmosphere and food were all wonderful. Staff were very friendly and attentive, and the food was great! I tried the roast beef sandwich, which was fresh, flavorful and a generous portion. We also got a pretzel and everything seasoned baguette to go and they were great! Pretzels were soft and flavorful and quite big. The baguette was very good with just the right amount of sourdough flavor. I will definitely be back. The staff and food are top notch! Please support this local gem!

Wow, this place is awesome. Came for lunch on a Thursday and there were tons of people in this little cafe. When you walk in, it looks like you may have to order at the counter, but it's actually a sit-down with waitress kind of deal. Definitely check out the daily specials; chicken noodle soup is TO DIE FOR, so is the Reuben. Sandwiches come with pickles and chips and are fantastic. Decided to stay for some of the desserts, and ohmygosh couldn't believe how good they were. We tried the cheesecake and coconut cake (daily specials), both were to die for. Would definitely recommend coming in for lunch or just to grab some pastries; we ended up leaving with a few scones as well. We'll be back very soon.

3rd visit to MJ's and first to get food with family. Great little cozy spot to grab a quick bite on a Saturday afternoon. I'm a bread lover so it smells like heaven to me as soon as I get through the door. Farmers BLT on Marble Rye is amazing and so is the Power Wrap. Having moved from an area where these types of places are plentiful its a great addition to the area. Looking forward to trying some more menu options in the near future.

MJ's is a comfortable place to have a good breakfast or lunch. Best bacon, egg and cheese croissant sandwich in Hampstead or Manchester. The corned beef Rachel panini is my favorite lunch treat. I am looking forward to soups and baked goods this fall. The baked goods are very fresh. The raisin bread is great, we love to use it for French toast on Sunday morning.

I visit for the baked goods; they have an excellent baker who makes really delicious soft pretzels, cinnamon rolls, sourdough bread in various shapes (I favor the twists), and a few other things I have not yet tried. They have a Facebook page but Facebook will not let me see it since I do not have a Facebook account. They ought to fix that. My brother assures me they post updates to their menu. Baked goods appear at farmer's market stalls around the area and can be obtained at the brick, which is in Manchester, on MD-27 near where it dead ends at MD-30.

This place was absolutely amazing! I got a breakfast sandwich to go and it was delicious. I also got an Iced latte that was yummy! I would highly recommend this place. The staff were super nice, it was clean, and they were very welcoming :)

Their black coffee is the best in town. Not sure what brand it is, but it's good. I will definitely go back for the coffee. Haven't tried anything else yet. But if it's anything like the coffee I'm sure it's good

Delicious homemade food. Friendly staff! Everything I've ever had has been amazing! Every friend I have taken to MJ's has loved the place. It is clean and the food is fantastic! Definitely a must go to!!!
