The Bun Shop

I love the Bun Shop and it's become a favorite of mine! Great drink options, buns, and atmosphere. I like going in the morning when there aren't as many people and parking is easy, but you can usually find a spot to sit in the evening, too, although there are more students there then. The lighting is also a bit darker, which can put a little strain on the eyes if you're on a computer, but it's never stopped me from going!

The coffee and tea selection was pretty extensive, and unique pastries and dishes were available. The atmosphere was grunge which I would personally love if it wasn’t so dirty. At 11 am every single table was already sticky or covered in crumbs. The couch cushions were ripped, and random objects were strewn haphazardly around the shop as if there wasn’t enough room to store them. The atmosphere made it seem like nobody cares to clean this place, which definitely detracted from my experience.

Love this place. To me it defines urban bun shop. Really cool rustic look, great place to work, brainstorm outside of home. You definitely may see a crack head or 2 passing by from time to time. Really cool gay bar down the street that creates a little more traffic in this area on the weekends, but it’s otherwise quite chill. Staff is young but very helpful.

A pretty nice shop, tucked away with late hours. A coffee and bun was around $7. The bun was pretty good, not very sweet, just in the middle ground. There’s a good amount of space available in the shop and the wifi is really good, so it makes it a nice place to sit and get work done. The only thing I can suggest is that the music is a little loud, making phone calls a bit difficult.

Picture it - Baltimore, 2023. 3 in the morning, as an exhausted father and his teenage daughter seek safe passage through the deserted (though surprisingly well lit) streets of downtown Baltimore. Where can these weary travelers from Arizona find refuge and refreshment at this hour? Why, at The Bun Shop, of course! Home to great herbal teas, a selection of coffee, and delicious pastries ranging from sweet staples like apple turnovers and cinnamon rolls to savory pizza buns, beef patties, and chickpea curry pies. Really cool atmosphere, helpful staff, plentiful charging outlets, delicious and reasonably priced food. We are not in Baltimore often, but will definitely stop by again.
