Travel Insight: Do a coffee tour of Baltimore, Maryland

Baltimore coffee scene Photographer: Christopher Horan I love to visit cities where I can get a good cup of coffee because I’m always wanting to take a coffee or tea break when traveling. How about you? If so, then pack your bags for Baltimore, Maryland. The coffee scene goes beyond getting a cup of java these days, enthusiasts and novices alike can attend cupping classes and learn to evaluate specific coffees’ virtues and faults, as well as the distinguishing nuances in different roasts. Baltimore’s coffee scene is flourishing, and the luxury hotel, Four Seasons Baltimore, which houses LAMILL COFFEE, is encouraging that growth even further by bringing the distinguished Disloyalty Card Program to town, and invited several of the city’s most forward-thinking coffeehouses to join the new Disloyalty Card program, which launches on August 12, 2013.

Gwilym Davies, World Barista Champion of 2009, who initially started off with barista courses in Sydney, created the Disloyalty Card with the intention of highlighting cafés in London that he felt deserved recognition. He enticed his guests to explore these cafés by rewarding guests with a free beverage once they explored London’s coffee scene. LAMILL is bringing the Disloyalty Card to Baltimore to grow and sustain a sense of coffee culture within the community, encouraging fans to discover the city’s great cafés and coffee shops outside of their daily routines. Alongside LAMILL, some of the area’s top coffee shops will be a part of the Disloyalty Card program in Baltimore. Charmington’s – A Charles Village neighbourhood café serving Counter Culture Coffee and espresso, fresh baked muffins and pastries, sandwiches, salads and other light fare. Charmington’s is located at 2601 Howard Street, Baltimore, Maryland 21218. Dooby’s Coffee – A fun and welcoming Mt. Vernon establishment where friends and neighbours can gather over Counter Culture Coffee beverages, pastries, sandwiches and beer from morning to night.

High Grounds is located at 3201 Eastern Avenue, Baltimore, Maryland 21224. Pitango Gelato – An espresso bar in Fells Point, Pitango creates an authentic Italian experience with a focus on quality and excellent service tapping local roaster Counter Culture Coffee to guarantee the freshest product possible.
