Brown Mustache Coffee, LLC

Brown Mustache Coffee is a true hidden gem in Annapolis. Located inside Old Fox Books, this café offers a warm and inviting atmosphere, perfect for enjoying a great cup of coffee and a good book. The coffee is outstanding, with special options like the Lavender Latte and Honey Almond Latte, both perfectly balanced in flavor. They also offer baked goods, including gluten-free options, which is a nice touch. The staff is friendly and welcoming, making the experience even better. Plus, the back patio is a charming spot to enjoy your coffee outdoors. While the indoor space is a bit small and the food menu is somewhat limited, the quality of the coffee and the unique atmosphere more than make up for it.

A cozy and charming coffee spot with gluten-free options, including two types of muffins and a lemon bar. The coffee was delicious, but we were surprised that only one person was working on a Saturday morning, which made the wait a bit longer than expected. Still, the atmosphere was worth it, and the attached bookstore added a special touch. Definitely a great place to visit if you’re not in a rush.

Very cute bookstore with a coffee shop inside. The staff were super friendly. It is a small space so it can be a little cramped depending on how many people are inside. Worth it though.

My friend and I came here and it was her first time visiting, I was very excited to show her this spot. She got an iced london fog and not only was the cashier/barista brash, but the drink had no ice and was completely watered down.

I was their first customer on a cool Monday morning, and as I approached the coffee bar I noticed that the barista was getting dialed in. That’s when I knew I’d stumbled onto something special. For those not in the know, “dialing in” is the process of adjusting the grind size of the coffee to achieve the perfect time for your shot of espresso. Too short and the espresso is stringent and underextracted; if it goes too long, it’s overwhelming and loses its brightness. Get it just right and a good barista can bring out the best in a coffee, making it truly sing as it hits all the best notes. As soon as I realized what he was doing, I knew I had to order an espresso. I’m glad I did, because the flavor profile was excellent. “It’s nice to see a serious coffee shop in town,” I told them. I wish I could’ve spent all day here. The book shop is cozy and full of all sorts of treasures. As a west coast boy, we don’t get to see many old buildings like this, so the feel and sight and smell of the place was just as intoxicating as the double shot of espresso I was sipping on. This place is a MUST try if you’re in town, and is one of my favorite coffee shops I’ve ever been to.

Brown Mustache Coffee is a charming find with a fantastic patio in the back, ideal for soaking up some nature. The coffee and pastries are top-notch, adding to the appeal of this quaint spot. What makes it even more special is the cute attached bookstore, making it a perfect retreat for book lovers and those looking to spend a relaxing morning. Well worth a visit!

Great coffee and espresso drinks, quick service, within an incredibly cute bookstore in historical downtown area.

Great, quiet and unique place. Full of books for browsing and buying, an outdoor area to sit and think and take in a little slice of whatever you want to imagine. Really enjoyed the barista and conversation on the local history, and comings and goings of historic Annapolis. Truly a little gem.
