Its always amazing to support family owned small businesses. When it comes to cafes especially I would never ever choose a Starbucks or a Dunkin to an incredible local choice like Matriarch Coffee (I'd never go to a Starbucks or Dunkin period though lol). The staff are always SUPER nice, SUPER helpful, and SUPER fast. The ambiance is exactly what you need out of a coffee spot - Calm and chill vibes. If you're in the area any you're looking for a coffee please or need a new local coffee spot to be a regular at - look no further!
Friendly, welcoming, knowledgeable staff. Wonderfully roasted, brewed and served coffee. Delicious breakfast foods from furot parfaits to bagels of many types. The music is great for watching the harbor tides roll in or the (during winter) ice skaters enjoy the ice. Do your self a favor and come enjoy the flavor. We heart this matriarch!
Wonderful spot and great coffee! Was lucky enough to visit on a Saturday and got to try the Sagamore Whiskey drip coffee. It was incredible! Will definitely be back every time we are in the area.
The best overall vibe and atmosphere I’ve come across on the harbor. Coffee is so good. Unique flavor. So tasty I was immediately compelled to ask which bean they were using so I could order some for home. My husband loved the bagel & cream cheese too. The space is beautiful. You can tell thought went into every detail. If I was staying longer in Baltimore I’d be sitting on their harbor-side porch with a coffee every morning.
Cute local cafe with a great view at the inner harbor I went there on weekday in the middle of the day. There were still a lot of people either working on the laptop or just drinking with family and friends. I ordered their signature drink blue drink that has blue pea flower and vanilla matcha. It didn't taste as good as I expected. I couldn't taste any matcha. It tasted more like oat milk. I think this is a good cafe for the view. I like how it runs by women and supports social issues.

Baltimore's premier harbor-side coffee experience, crafted with care and community in mind.
