The Bun Shop
239 W Read St, Baltimore, MD
Crema's Take
“This moody, eclectic spot in Baltimore embraces a dark and atmospheric vibe that feels equal parts Gothic mystery and industrial charm—the kind of place regulars return to for both the reliable coffee and the chance to settle in for hours of work or conversation. The Bun Shop has built genuine community appeal with its flexible hours, friendly counter service, and quirky personality that keeps locals coming back, though the cozy aesthetic comes with some wear and tear that reflects its well-loved character.”
What to expect
Classic coffee drinks done right. A slow-sit, laptop-friendly spot, good for meetings. Pastries on the menu. Family friendly. Wifi.

I have mixed feelings about this place. The place's atmosphere is a fun and neat concept. But the interior when we got there just seemed very dirty and unwell kept. I get the idea its suppose to be grungy and artsy but it just feel like they are just being lazy at the same time.…
