On The Hill Cafe

On the hill is my favorite coffee shop in Baltimore. Food & drinks are consistently good and reasonably priced. You can't beat $6.50 for a bacon egg & cheese bagel. They have online ordering which makes it super convenient to order coffee on my way to work. They also have those cane sugar sodas on draft which are so good if you are going on a coffee break, I don't know where else you can get a fountain cream soda.

Their to-go cup plastic lids are PLA-7 which means you can toss them in the compost if you use a composting service (it will not naturally biodegrade in a landfill though from what I understand). Anyway, love their commitment to being an environmentally friendly establishment. They are a leader in this space.

If you are looking for the best sandwich ever,make your way to On The Hill Cafe in Bolton Hill! I got the Mt. Royal which was delicious if you like smoked turkey,melted cheese grilled to perfection with pickles! They also serve up a refreshing homemade pomegranate lemonade. The Cafe is nice and cozy with sidewalk seating and a alot of great menu options without being overwhelmed. I hear the "smash burger" sandwich are the best,which I will try on my next visit!

I was walked to this location on a cool March day by a friend who lived in the area. He asked if I was in the mood for coffee... and I'm ALWAYS in the mood for coffee. He mentioned that there is a corner cafe he wanted me to try. He did warn me that it was very tight inside so we may need to order to then walk around, which was fine. We enter to a completely crowded cafe, which was a plus to me. That shows interest and positive vibes for the company. People want to be there. So, I order a double espresso and my friend ordered a dirty chai latte. No food. Double Espresso = $3.50. Not bad. It was a little small though. Big bang though for your buck. Dirty Chai Latte = $3.75. We were pleased with our quick coffee pitstop on our walk. If I'm back in the area and craving some local roast, I'll be sure to stop in. Thank you for a positive experience. Oh, and super welcoming and friendly atmosphere to all.

Breakfast burrito is top notch. Skip the plant based chorizo. Not my thing, flavor or texture-wise. Burrito was still good. Blueberry muffin could use 18% more blueberries. So tender! Ask for butter. Brownie had an amazing delicate almost milk-chocolate flavor, rich & fudgy, this perfect top layer. I indulged because I didn't finish the burrito. Because of the "faux-rizo." I mean, I don't normally get a blueberry muffin at breakfast and then a brownie for breakfast dessert.
