Crema's Take
“Sophomore Coffee's baristas actually listen to what you want instead of gatekeeping the menu, making it a refreshing alternative to Baltimore's more pretentious coffee spots. The basement location feels intentionally intimate rather than cramped, with surprisingly good seating and outlets throughout, and the knowledgeable staff treats espresso-focused drinks and traditional coffees with equal respect. Hit this place if you want quality coffee served by people who genuinely enjoy helping you find what you'll love.”
What to expect
Espresso-focused. A slow-sit, quick-grab, outdoor seating spot, good for meetings.

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…
