Bird in Hand: Reviews & Ratings
Really fantastic remote work or student work option for coffee as they have a nice atmosphere and plenty of space to work. Great coffee options as well with a few interesting twists like the vanilla mint matcha I tried. I didn’t try one but their pastry options looked fantastic.
Ducked in here on (another) cold day and hit the jackpot. A cappuccino whose latte art was so good I felt bad taking a sip, until I took a sip! The ham, cheese and (local) sauerkraut sandwich was fantastic. And the vibe- part-college, part-beatnik- made me feel younger and cooler than actually am. And the staff were really nice!
Coffee was good. Service was ok. Lively, but a nice place to chat or work from. Great location.
Fantastic cafe near the Johns Hopkins campus! The food was delicious, and the service was excellent. It was pretty crowded on a Sunday afternoon, so finding a seat might be a bit of a challenge. The space had a vibrant atmosphere, with many people studying or working. Definitely worth checking out if you're in the area
Found this beautiful book cafe tucked into a cozy, modern corner of Baltimore that I have never seen before. Be sure to try their golden chai drink while it’s still available, as it is absolute bliss. This fun place is just across from the Johns Hopkins Barnes & Noble, but gives you so much more than the more commercialized bookstores do—from great conversations, to books you might not find on the shelves of the store across from it, to the absolutely delicious food and drinks available, I highly recommend this one. The staff are so kind and professional, and it honestly feels like you’re talking to old friends, not just some bookstore, staff, when you talk to them. by far one of my favorite book cafes in the region!
Cute local cafe with hipster and relax vibe I ordered matcha latte and tofu bahn mi. It was good. Matcha latte is not too sweet and no earthy or bitter taste. Bahn mi is a bit different from the one that I know but it was still good. It is a cute book cafe. Good place to study or talk with friends. Highly recommend!
Nice coffee shop with friendly staff. Kaleb makes very good latte with very latte art. There are lots of books to enjoy while relaxing to enjoy your beverage. The BLT sandwich was also very delicious!
I was sitting there whole day working.. so I had multiple meals. Caprece was very fresh, fresh pesto and tasty. Place can get crowded but it speaks to its popularity. There are standing spaces where one can plug in and work when standing.
