Now that summer's officially here, there's no better time to treat yourself to an iced coffee at one of Baltimore's best java joints. Plenty of refreshing options are available, so you won't have any trouble finding a new coffee shop—or more!—to add your list of favorites.
Our real estate agents recommend getting your iced coffee bliss at the following must-try coffee shops.
- Morning Mugs Coffee - 15 W. Hughes St., Baltimore, MD 21230
If you're looking for an award-winning coffee shop, stop by Morning Mugs Coffee near these Federal Hill homes for sale for your iced brew. The shop has been named the best by readers of Baltimore magazine and The Baltimore Sun. Order an iced coffee or one of Morning Mugs' espresso drinks like an Americano, Cappuccino, Latte, Mocha, or White Mocha. You can also treat yourself to a pastry such as a blueberry crumb muffin or a cinnamon roll.
- OneDo Coffee Roasters, 913 S. Lakewood Ave., Baltimore, MD 21224
For a cool rustic chic vibe combined with a great cup of coffee, head to OneDo Coffee Roasters. (In case you're wondering, "OneDo" means coffee beans in Korean!) OneDo roasts their own coffee in the back of the shop, and bags of beans are for sale if you'd like to brew your own cup at home. Try the Dalgona Iced Latte, sweetened with Korean sponge sugar, or the Tiramisu Latte, iced and topped with housemade salted mascarpone cold foam.
- Daily Grind - 1720 Thames St., Baltimore, MD 21231
Located on the waterfront of Baltimore's historic Fells Point neighborhood, Daily Grind reflects this area's funky sense of charm. You can even take a water taxi right to their doorstep and enjoy your iced coffee outside with great views of the harbor. Drinks are available hot or iced, and the sweetly yummy Ferrero Rocher, a hazelnut mocha drink, is a customer favorite. For an extra chill, frozen drinks are also available, including the Java Chip, a blended mocha with chocolate chips.
- Café Dear Leon - 2929 O'Donnell St., Baltimore, MD 21224
If you're close to the Canton neighborhood, indulge in an iced coffee at Café Dear Leon, which prides itself on combining classic techniques with innovation. Japanese-style iced coffee is on the menu, and if you're not familiar with the style, it involves brewing hot coffee directly onto ice, which chills it quickly. And when customers aren't sipping the Japanese iced coffee, they love the Iced Dirty Hojicha Latte, which lets you enjoy tea and coffee flavors in a sweet and toasted drink and may remind you of malted milk. It combines espresso and milk with brown sugar syrup made with toasted green tea powder.
- Baby's on Fire - 1010 Morton St., Baltimore, MD 21201
A cool combination of a coffee shop and record shop, Baby's on Fire, near these Mount Vernon homes for sale, is a unique spot that's definitely worth a visit. Cool off with the Beach Boi Iced Latte, a coconut concoction that might become one of your new favorites. Or, for another touch of summer in a drink, try the Surfer Girl, a latte with a delicate blend of coconut and jasmine. You can also order a pastry, bagel, egg sandwich, or wrap if you'd like a bite to eat. And don't forget to browse the shop's fun, carefully curated selection of new and used vinyl while you're there!
