Zekes Coffee

New to Zeke’s.
I will say I have been there few times. Coffee and atmosphere is good and staff is normally friendly. I don’t know how much you would take in consideration service… The last time I was in a thin blonde young lady waited on me and she was a Bit@h!!! Not cool!

Do not hesitate to try out Zeke’s. It is a gem. From the artsy, clean, quaint décor to the kind customer service, I was completely captured by the experience. Their coffee has never disappointed, and neither have their food products. I especially enjoy their breakfast sandwiches, their muffins, and their hot vanilla lattes. Great spot for reading, studying, or catching up with friends. My only complaint is that parking is sparse, as the shop is placed on a busy road.

Ordered egg & cheese with turkey sausage=on a croissant at 12:00, with no problem. Sandwich was good. Coffee was better, can’t beat Zekes.

Zeke’s is just that place to go when you want a great cup of joe. I haven’t been in a long time, but it was still the same great place it’s always been. Hot coffee, great ambiance, awesome baristas, and cool customers. I love coming here to relax and write out my thoughts. I love watching the people walk by outside, just taking in my surroundings. I visited recently and decided upon a mocha. I had already had lunch & wasn’t hungry, but I was forced to order an extra item since they have a six dollar debit/​credit minimum. I was slightly disappointed because the pasty I ended up getting was cold and not very good. Next time, I’ll ask them to warm up whatever pastry I decide to order behind the counter (I believe they’re all refrigerated.) Anyways, besides those two little things, I’ll always keep coming back here. Much love to Zeke’s. =)

Very cozy coffee shop with a friendly staff. I had a white chocolate mocha that was excellent and a humongous chocolate chip scone. The credit card minimum is unfortunate and my reason for deducting a star. But I plan on coming back again… and again… and again.

This lil coffee shop is great, love it. I’m a big fan of Zekes coffee, it has the Portland feel to it.
My favorite is the Cortadito aka Cuban Coffee.

Great tasting coffee! Friendly staff!

I recently went to Zekes and was blown away with their knowledge and quality of their coffee. I wouldn’t say it’s the best coffee ever, but they’re certainly great at roasting fresh single origins and have a nice variety of roasts to choose from. They had an extremely friendly and informative staff and I was talking to one of the baristas for quite a while about coffee. I will mention that the atmosphere and décor is Starbucks like, and nothing overly unique or creative, which I like to find in local shops. Regardless, I would go back by myself, with a friend, or on a date. Check this place out!

Great tasting coffee, nice little assortment of breakfast sandwiches & pastries. The staff is friendly and there’s wifi.
The bagel w/​Lox was delicious btw.
I’d never been here before and had no idea this place was so close to my office. Parking out front can be tricky if it’s busy out but daytime parking isn’t bad and the seating inside fills up quickly during peak hours, but it’s a nice little place with great coffee.

I’ve passed this neighborhood café for almost 15 years and missed out on some of the best coffee IVE EVER HAD IN MY LIFE! Starbucks who? Zeke’s coffee is definitely worth every penny!

Smooth, flavorful coffee. I could actually drink Zeke’s coffee black.
The atmosphere is chill, and provides a good space to relax with company and enjoy coffee and food. The sandwiches are tasty, and humongous. The pastries are so delicious (cinnamon buns and rugelach). Service is friendly and helpful. Prices are fair. They sell lots of goodies you can take home with you.
Treat yourself to a growler of the coffee concentrate. It’s an easy way to enjoy iced coffee on summer mornings.

This place is really cute! Totally a local’s spot and hard to find unless you’re really looking for it. It’s out of the inner city and away from a lot of touristy things.
My boyfriend and I both had a hot cappuccino to start. The cappuccino was tasty and strong. It came swerved in paper cups without a lid or warmer which was kind of odd since the coffee was boiling hot, but there is a service station with all the fixings and supplies one needs to take their tasty caffeine of choice to go.
Next we had breakfast sandwiches. My boy got the bacon egg and cheese on an English muffin, I got a BEC on a bagel. The food was good. Since I’m from New York I can’t say much about the bagel, but the eggs were cooked fresh and the bacon was crispy.
We both got a large iced coffee to go before leaving. It was cool, refreshing and fresh.
They had a large case of pastries that I really wanted to gobble up but was pretty full by the time we finished. They have great looking donuts, cookies, and turnovers. They also have a whole selection of coffee beans to go and ice cream!
This shop was super cute and service was wonderful. When we walked in there was a long line and a girl came around from behind the counter to take orders while people ahead paid. I definitely plan to stop in again the next time I’m in Baltimore.

I LOVE Zekes! Coffee is out of this world delicious. A million times better than Starbucks. I’ve only ever been to this location to buy beans and a coffee to-​go. However, the employees are always super friendly and helpful.

Really enjoy zekes coffee. The shop itself is cozy, with just enough grunge to keep it legit.
The coffee is great.
The breakfast is average, but does the trick to accompany the coffee. Mostly breakfast sandwiches and pastries.

This is the quintessential fantastic neighborhood café whose roasts have become Baltimore’s. Now found in farmers markets, restaurants and stores around the city.
The café is in the fantastic and diverse neighborhood of Hamilton-​Lauraville in Northeast Baltimore on Harford Road. It has a neighborhood institution feel in a small shop with an old tin ceiling and a crowd that ranges from mom with kid, ex hippy, hipster, professional, and Morgan State student. They get it too with local ingredients when they can… and local products.
Finally don’t miss the sandwiches. Great bread… Had a veggie hummus one that was just great. They had run out of tomatoes so I must try it again but great without too.
Last, you can buy all their roasts here and the roaster is just a few blocks away.

We love zekes! We sell it at our bakery (Kupcakes & co) in Elkridge, MD, but I wanted to go see the shop for myself and try something other then royal blue. The woman recommended I tried the Balinese blend and my boyfriend got the hippie blend. We ordered a cup of the armstead house coffee and a crème brûlée latte. Both were out of this world phenomenal! So fresh and so crisp. We can’t wait to try our bags of coffee that were taking home with us! Can’t wait to go back and try all of the other blends! Thanks zekes!

Finally checked this place out. Happy to have a cool coffee shop close to my new house ! Very cool. Happy to support local shops

About a 4.5: I came to Zekes Coffee to do some work — Zekes is a family-​owned & operated company that has been around since ’05. They have 4 locations (2 in Baltimore, 1 in Pittsburgh, and 1 in DC). They offer conventional/​signature/​decaf/​sustainable blends, espresso/​cappuccino, latte, Americano, mocha, macchiato, teas, etc., as well as a limited menu that offers breakfast/​lunch sandwiches/​pastries. I tried their Hot Apple Cider (from their special), a shot of espresso with some foam (oh, yea, nice and very strong), their Hot Chocolate (hot and creamy), and their ‘Powerhouse’ sandwich (whole grain bread with hummus, meunster cheese, and fresh veggies (alfafa sprouts, cucumbers, etc.) with a bag of chips and a grape Boylan soda. The place itself is cute, very laid-​back, and a nice relaxing atmosphere (love the colorful art pieces on the wall) — a good handful of outlets where you can set up to do some work, and plenty of tables where you can sit and enjoy your brew. The staff here are super friendly and awesome, and I love the fact that you can just start a ‘tab’ so that if you are here for the long-​run, you can add to it in terms of the more drinks/​food you purchase (instead of whipping out the cash/​card each time). One of the guys (Brian) also busts out his guitar and plays some easy-​listening songs, which I thought was fantastic: D The staff also makes rounds to clear your empty cups/​dishes away: D Definitely a cute place if you’re in the area and want to find a cool local spot to support a local business/​do some work — many seem to coming in and out to meet some friends, chit chat for a bit, enjoy a cup, or get some drinks to go: D P. S. Their chocolate covered espresso beans are SO GOOD.

This was my first time visiting Zeke ‘s Coffee House and I found it to be a great experience. I stopped through with my youngest son and we got an iced hazelnut latte very very tasty. The customer service is awesome. Get your laptop or a good book and come on in!

A great place to meet friends for a leisurely snack and chat or to grab a cup of joe to go. They have a great selection, make really delicious coffee. My favorite part is that they use real chai tea, and not that pre-​made chai sugar powder. This way I can order my favorite drink, a dirty chai, without feeling overloaded on sugar. I also enjoyed 2 rugelach on this visit, one raspberry and one chocolate. While both were tasty the chocolate was my favorite.
*a dirty chai is a chai tea latte with a shot of espresso; enjoy!
