Why's it so hard to find a good cup of coffee around here?

You know what? Maybe high school didn't totally suck.

Oh yeah, I just thought of one more good place - Bonaparte Bakery in Savage at Savage Mills. Excellent croissants to go with the coffee too.
Excellent tips, Daniel! I often don't think of good coffee while I'm at the mall. I definitely enjoy lunch at Nordstrom's, too.
Nora's is probably a great idea. They're owned by the same people who had the Aromi d'italia gelato place in the mall that is gone now sadly. They still sell their Italian cookies from a kiosk in the mall (or at least they did a couple months ago).…
I know we're all tired of it, but this is something I just had to get off my chest. And my porch. And my driveway. And my roof. And my mailbox. And my curb...I hope it gets you talking, and thinking.~Mike
You can listen to this podcast here, or by…
Hi Amy - I have not, and it's my side of HoCo! I will give them a try. Thanks! ~Mike
Have you tried Nora Cafe in the Normandy Shopping Center on Rt. 40? It's a little out of the way but still in HoCo. Definitely worth the trip for VERY tasty coffee and really good breakfast, lunch and dinner food.
Hi Michelle. Glad you liked it! Thanks for the kind words!
Really enjoyed listing to your podcast! I moved here from Massachusetts a year ago and I felt the exact same. I wish the GPS could help us see through the trees of the village centers so that we knew how close they really were. Hey and thanks for th…
Good to know, Dennis. Another place to try. Thanks!
I've become a real fan of the Little French Market in old town Ellicott City.
Thanks so much for listening and the info! Wow. Java Grande is gone already? It had great signage off of Route 40 but that location was so-so. That's too bad.
I mentioned Riverside and do enjoy the coffee. I agree, much easier in and out than Paner…
Love the podcast about coffee in Howard County. Unfortunately, Java Grande on Rte 40 closed. The pottery shop down the row is going to move there, expand, and offer coffee.
Consider trying Riverside Coffee in Columbia or Sidamo at Maple Lawn in Ful…
Good choice! I knew I was going to miss some. Weekday mornings it's actually pretty easy to get a parking spot on Main Street - I just have to allow extra time in the morning. Thanks, Sue!
My favorite has always been Bean Hollow, on Main St. Always fresh, and the smell of coffee beans roasting adds to the appeal!
You're right, Jennifer. I did not mention Lakeside. I've been for lunch (and love it) but haven't been there for breakfast. I will definitely give them a try!
I'm glad you mentioned breakfast sandwiches! So many places microwave processed eggs (per…
