Located at 3715 Old Columbia Pike, in Historic Ellicott City, this is a charming cafe featuring a breakfast menu, kids' menu, soup of the day, quiche of the day, salads, cold sandwiches, hot sandwiches, and baked pita pizzas. Take out orders/info, call 410-465-9700.
I walk down from my place on Church Road to buy my coffee (Zeke's Mexican blend) or order a lunch salad called Fall Fandango. It contains organic baby spinach, blue cheese, carmelized walnuts & maple roasted apples with house vinaigrette.
Once in the door, you can view all the sumptuous,
healthy goodies in the display cases. Photo by

In 2001, we took over an existing coffeehouse on Main Street. We—the husband and wife team of Sarah Tannenbaum, Pastry Chef, and Desmond Vogler (Bread Baker) realized it would require a complete business overhaul to reflect our needs.

Desmond adds: 
As vegetarians, foodies and new parents (Jonathan was 2 years old), we had longed for a scratch bakery/vegetarian café where we could get amazingly delicious upscale food and drinks, but feel relaxed and comfortable with both our friends and our children. With this goal in mind, we created our business—piece by piece! Now, here we are 7 years later in a beautiful new place, with three beautiful children. Jonah is 9; Gabriel is 5; and Evangeline is 18 months. It is a continuing adventure!
Friendly staff are always happy to take your order at the counter!
Sarah and Desmond’s Mission:
“We promise to provide the freshest, most flavorful food possible, while keeping in mind our ethical ovo-lacto vegetarian ideals."
So— continues this testimony on the front of their menu:
