Sophomore Coffee

If you enjoy quality coffee and vibes, walk down the stairs into the basement to find Sophomore Coffee. The space itself is tiny, but does have a few seats each with outlets easily accessible. The coffee menu is quality. I enjoyed the cardamom latte with house made syrup. My daughter enjoyed the hot chocolate after putting sugar in it. They also sell a few food and snack items.

Nice slightly hidden coffee shop but with great signage to guide you from the street. It’s a small space but they’ve maximized the area they have a with a small lit seating area in the back and the counter running through the center of the space. Got two ice coffees with oat milk and tried the cardamom and vanilla flavors. Both were great and I think this is one of my favorite balances of sweet and coffee flavor that I’ve had in Baltimore. Not too sweet, not too bitter, not too much flavoring (vanilla or cardamom). Definitely a “hidden” gem in the city for coffee!

Great little coffeeshop tucked away on the basement level of a row building. The service was great and the barista was clearly knowledgeable about coffee. I can't recall if they had wifi or not, but there wasn't too much seating available. I didn't quite like the seasonal specialty latte I got (the Smoke Signal) but I could tell it was quality. I really liked my partner's drink (the Yankee Candle). I'd wouldn't just stick to the basics here!

Cozy little coffee shop with quick service and great prices. They have a few seats inside as well as a couple tables outside. Also sell some t-shirts, coffee/tea accessories and their own branded blends. I really enjoyed my iced Americano! Definitely stopping by next time I'm in the neighborhood

This place is phenomenal - really cozy interior, friendly/fast staff, coffee tastes great. Didn't try the outdoor space but it looks comfortable as well. Affordable prices.

Kicked off the weekend with an amazing cortado. So good — Smooth, bold, and balanced.☕️

Incredible energy walking into this basement coffee spot, the baristas are super friendly and informative and they also have a good selection of merchandise! (I sprung for a new ceramic pour over cone, they have some unique colors). The courtyard in the back was great, they still don’t do indoor seating. The coffee is nutty and well made, the vanilla syrup is homemade (vanilla beans included) If you’re looking for a cozy cup, this spot will certainly warm you up. (Visited in winter, the iced drinks looked fab but that wasn’t my vibe today.)

The coffee is delicious, love the atmosphere, and the service has been great. Got to meet the owner this morning randomly and they were so nice! The barista was also nice enough to explain their flash brewed coffee to me. Have been getting the house vanilla flavor in my lattes and would recommend!
