On the Hill Cafe
1431 John St, Baltimore, MD
Crema's Take
“This cozy neighborhood spot on Baltimore's hill punches above its weight with hearty, creative breakfast fare like gluten-free corn cakes and massive breakfast burritos that keep locals coming back. The friendly crew knows regulars by name, and while indoor seating is tight, the outdoor tables offer a genuine community vibe perfect for lingering over excellent lattes and solid espresso drinks. It's genuinely one of the few gathering spots in the area, making it less of a quick grab and more of a neighborhood anchor where you'll want to stake out a table and settle in.”

A great little coffee shop! Limited seating indoors. Friendly staff, great food and lattes. A definite return visit and recommend! My only complaint is the bathroom was a bit on the dirty side, but it would not deter me from coming back.
I got the delicious gluten free corn cakes with a fried egg and bacon. It was $20 but it was good, there was a nice outdoor seating area of 4 tables, it was a cute neighborhood, and I found parking. They also have gluten free bagels, buns, and their home fries look bomb, I'm going to try those next time.
It's one of the only places to eat in the neighborhood, so take it as it comes. I would say the food is pretty good, and the employees are friendly. There is not a lot of seating, so I wouldn't expect to eat in the restaurant, but to take it to go.
Great location for sandwiches and burritos. Really busy so be prepared to be ruder online or have a short wait. Not a lot of seating but there is outdoors. Staff courteous and attentive. Tested plant based burrito that was good but better served as a bowl. A salsa or sauce to accompany would be great. My son had the birria quesadilla and it was good but he said the consommé didn’t taste like a traditional birria and lacked flavor. I would definitely come back to try something else!
I love On The Hill! The people working here (Aaron, Eeron, Erin, Devin, Aáron, and Kat, Aaron) are great and serve great food. I love their breakfast burrito - the portions are huge. They make a great lavender matcha as well. It's great to come early in the morning for the ambiance, music, and vibes. I love vibing! Yes! Thanks Aaron! I love Aaron so much! AARON!!!!
