Beans In The Belfry

Slowest service, terrible coffee, and bad food. We ordered a toasted bagel and the quiche, after they had checked if there was enough (there had been many quiche orders before mine). After 50 minutes, they told me told there wasn't any quiche left so I ordered a sandwich. After an hour wait total, we got our food. It didn't seem unusually busy for a Saturday but they were probably under staffed. In the mean time waiting for the food, I had to notify them twice their drip coffee was empty, and it took about 10 minutes to replace. The coffee was so bad I needed to add honey and cream to it so it would taste like something (I usually drink it black). We also ordered an espresso that tasted like the previous drink that was made, some gingerbread spiced thing. Poor care with their coffee all around. My sandwich was soggy and did not have much filling. The interior of the building was kind of cute.

The place is very whimsical but cramped. The parking is pretty limited and there had to be a announcement when i was there that people might be getting towed for parking in the one parking lot. The wait was not long we had ordered a couple and sandwhichs and chili. The food was good and the sandwhichs came with a little salad but none of the food was particularly great. The coffee was actually really good I had gotten a red eye and like the coffees flavor, but they didn't have and sugar free sweetener avalible when I was there. The iced tea was nice and got free refills as well. Now what really killed the experience for me was there was only one high chair to use for kids to eat and when we went in the place was crazy humid. It was proablly a good temperature in there but the humidity made it feel hot and uncomfortable.

This place is wonderful! We saw the sign along rt 340 on our way to Harper's Ferry, and we had to stop in. It's in a 1910 Reformed Church with stained glass windows, gorgeous atmosphere, and ambient music. There was plenty of cozy seating, tables and chairs. Plenty of interesting decorations and old pictures everywhere your eye looked. Now onto the food and drinks....they have thee best iced vanilla chai I've ever had, the sandwiches are banging, and the desserts....oh my...we had the toasted almond cake (heavenly), the baklava (delicious), and the brownie a la mode. If you're near Brunswick, MD make the trip to this fantastic gem of a coffee shop because it's so worth it!

Cute place - the most disappointing service. Ordered/paid/tipped for a latte to go, then walked around the shop for about 10 minutes. A few people ordered after me and got their items promptly. I finally checked at the counter to see where my drink was to learn from a different employee that the espresso machine was down. If only I’d found that out before ordering! :/
