Sophomore Coffee

Incredible energy walking into this basement coffee spot, the baristas are super friendly and informative and they also have a good selection of merchandise! (I sprung for a new ceramic pour over cone, they have some unique colors). The courtyard in the back was great, they still don’t do indoor seating.

The coffee is nutty and well made, the vanilla syrup is homemade (vanilla beans included)

If you’re looking for a cozy cup, this spot will certainly warm you up. (Visited in winter, the iced drinks looked fab but that wasn’t my vibe today.)

Delicious coffee! Great atmosphere! I bought one of the reusable cups, best one I’ve ever gotten. Wish I lived closer, I’d be there all the time.

The coffee is delicious, love the atmosphere, and the service has been great. Got to meet the owner this morning randomly and they were so nice! The barista was also nice enough to explain their flash brewed coffee to me. Have been getting the house vanilla flavor in my lattes and would recommend!

Sophomore coffee just opened today and let me tell you how excited I am to have affordable but delicious local coffee in the neighborhood! It helps that the owners and workers are fantastic as well. If you're having trouble finding the entrance it's just down the steps out front!

Brief but one of the most pleasant interactions I’ve had in a while. Incredibly friendly team behind the counter this morning!

I’ve always gotten coffee carry out from here when my coworker picks up for us, so I’ve never actually been and wasn’t aware they ask you to wear a mask. My husband, daughter and I decided to walk here on a nice day. I enter and she tells me there are mask right behind me. Since some places it’s just suggested these days so I said “oh no thank you” for reasons other than my own to know why I chose to decline. Instead of her simply telling me sorry we can’t serve you, she disgustingly back hand shoo’d me to the door, as if I was going to make a big deal about it (which I’m sure you do have people that do) It was incredibly rude/demeaning and I don’t even wanna support this place carry out anymore when my coworker picks up for us. If your looking for friendlier staff and still just as great coffee, just go to good neighbor. This was a really sad experience.

Had the best iced mocha of my life here and haven’t been able to stop thinking about it since :) they told me they work with a local chocolatier for all for their chocolate sauce and it SHOWS. Such a cool spot with really nice baristas as well. Will be back ASAP!

Great drinks & lovely courtyard for working or hanging out!

First visit here while on a bike ride (the shop is right off the Maryland Ave. cycling track). The iced coffee is exceptional and doesn’t need anything more than maybe a splash of creamer, if that’s your thing. Shoutout to the owner for offering an exceptional experience in Old Goucher. Definitely will be back.

Love the coffee program here! One of Baltimore’s best coffee shops
