Ceremony Coffee - Cross Street Market

I just Love it. GREAT coffee, pastries, and non pork breakfast options. Amazing staff

Love their mocha decaf, prefect cup to start my day.

I've been twice, first time I got a pour over coffee the second time a regular drip. Both cups were some of the most bitter coffee I've ever had. I drink my coffee black. The pour over I couldn't finish, the drip got slightly better as it cooled. This is disappointing, one because the coffee is expensive and two because I was looking forward to a nice coffee shop being nearby in the neighborhood. The interior is nice except something needs to be done about directing people where the line starts, it feels like people are just standing around completely disorganized.

Not a fan. LATTE was weak despite paying for extra shot of espresso and ordering it dark & sweet… their MATCHA was watery. Though it wasn’t totally awful, couldn’t even add avocado to their EGG CHEESE MUFFIN as it was premade, and it was small, so it made it seem like an overpriced McD’s egg mcmuffin.

They are doing something right with that espresso. It might be the best espresso I've ever tasted. I usually get a quad. The flavor is so complex, nuanced, and unique. I look forward to it every Saturday morning.

i was told ceremony was the best coffee in town and they were right about the quality but the atmosphere was peculiar during my 1st visit! great music and very friendly staff but i came in one morning maybe a week and a half two weeks ago and one of the employees(with strawberry blonde hair) was being really lovey dovey to another person they were sitting at the expresso station with. at first i thought maybe the person was a guest and not an employee since she had a computer, but she kept going behind the counter and talking to the other employees when she wasnt being romantic to the person she was sitting with. at some point i thought to myself, this is extremely unprofessional. outside of the awkward uncomfortable feeling it gave me. it wasnt a bad place. hopefully next time i visit it wont be as awkward. good note, the latte art on my drink was so pretty!

This place used to have 100% of my business (literally a coffee everyday on my way to work), but now it literally takes 10 minutes (no exaggeration) for them to get through three customers. No one getting to-go coffee has time for that.

I was excited to try the coffee since it’s just around the corner and the shop looks nice and it well laid out. However the employees had absolutely no idea about the coffee they were serving. When I asked what kind of coffee they were brewing (ie origin or roast type) they answer I received was ‘pomegranate’. When I tried to clarify about what kind of coffee *bean* was being used, I was told pomegranate flavor and that Ceremony roasts their own beans so they couldn’t tell me anything about them. Usually a shop the advertises pour over coffee can atleast tell you if it’s a light, medium or dark roast. I tried the shop once before shortly after the location opened and chalked up the lack of knowledge to new staff and a new store working out the kinks. However I have now had a similar experience twice. Having waited through the entire CSM market renovation for a new coffee shop, this was extremely disappointing.

love the atmosphere. lovely study spot in Federal Hill!.. except the scant outlet situation.

i love all their specialty coffees. the blueberry muffin was delicious - although all the blueberries were at the bottom..

The service here is awesome- super friendly and they appear to know what they’re doing (and who doesn’t love latte art). The coffee is great. I like the vibes and the free Wi-Fi. It’s a good place to study as well
