"Owners Cole and Aisha Pew created Dovecote Café with the motto “community first, café second.”. This charming little café in Reservoir Hill started as a passion project for owners Aisha Pew and her partner Cole, who were looking to create a community gathering spot. At Dovecote Café, you’ll find artists serving up locally roasted coffee, activists discussing politics over homey desserts like the upside-down peach cake and foodies indulging in grown-up grilled cheese and spinach pie."

The 11 Best Cafés and Coffeehouses in Baltimore
"A charming local favorite in the Reservoir Hill neighborhood, Dovecote has delicious coffee, baked goods, and sandwiches, but also serves as a community hub for the neighbors. Tufted couches, local art, eclectic wallpaper and friendly workers make this an inviting spot to get a cuppa coffee along with a taste of local culture. Look out for their monthly chef’s dinner series where they invite guest chefs to cook a meal for the community."

The Best Places to Eat in Baltimore
"While cafes half as popular as this Reservoir Hill fixture discourage lingering in hopes of turning your table, the Dovecote crew goes out of its way to make sure you don't skedaddle. But the warm family vibe extends well past the hospitality into the eats. The baked goods are especially appealing, including all manner of sticky buns and muffins and the sought-after peach upside-down cake (co-owner Gilda Pew's secret recipe)."

"A single food has been known to change the course of a person’s life. For Dane Thibodeaux, co-owner of Sacre Sucre in Fells Point, it was a fig macaron he ate in Paris while on vacation. He still remembers biting into the seed of the fig jam in the middle."

"Sacre Sucre’s one of THE most amazing dessert shops I’ve ever been to, like in the world. Their work is edible art, and you absolutely need to experience their sweets firsthand. They started off with macarons, but I personally like their pastries best."

Where are the Best Baltimore Food Markets and Food Halls
"Belvedere Square is a delightful food hall that has everything from boutique retail shops to chic, upscale restaurants – they even have a European-style market where you can buy freshly-baked bread, organic chocolate, and more. The neighborhood spot is open all year long but truly comes alive when the weather is nice. There’s plenty of outdoor seating, they often host events where they invite tons of other vendors, and their Summer Sounds at the Square concert series lets you experience local artists performing live every last Friday of the month."
