This was my one and only stop in Baltimore and I was not disappointed. The cold brew was like any other cold brew and didn't exceed any expections but I didn't come for the coffee. For lunch, I got the brisket banh mi and the kimchi potato salad and WOW was it delicious. The brisket could have been a little warmer but the flavor made up for it. The potato salad was like no other and paried perfectly with the banh mi. I wish I had something like this back home!

What a great experience! Friendly service, delicious food, quality coffee, and a relaxed atmosphere make this a place I will definitely come back to. Flavors of everything were amazing, and the meal was filling. The music was also a nice addition to the vibe.

Dooby’s is described as a Korean-inspired café, and while the menu does reflect that influence, the exterior and interior don’t give off a distinctly Korean vibe. That said, it’s a cozy, modern spot with a wide selection of coffee drinks, pastries, and food items—definitely worth a visit if you’re in the area. I stopped in for a coffee break and tried one of their house-made syrup lattes. I went with the Miso Caramel latte ($4.50), subbed with oat milk for an extra $0.75. It didn’t have a strong miso flavor, but it was still smooth and enjoyable. I also grabbed a Lavender Goat Cheese Scone for $4, which was a highlight. You could see the lavender tea leaves baked in and the goat cheese crumble gave it a savory edge that balanced the floral notes beautifully—highly recommend trying it if you like unique pastries. The atmosphere was calm and welcoming, with plenty of seating. It’s the kind of place where people come to chat, study, or work—easygoing and not too loud. They also have a water station with free water available, which is a nice touch. Check out the menu photos if you want to explore more food options and prices. I’d definitely come back to try their full menu next time. A great spot for coffee, conversation, or getting some work done.

This is a really cute place. They have so many options. I tried their mocha latte which was amazing and their buttermilk pancakes (also delicious). The workers were so lovely and the place had a really nice ambience. I'm definitely coming back if I'm in the area.
