“ I love this place! The vibes are immaculate, the playlist is FIRE, anddd since they were busy and our wait was long they refunded us. Amazing customer service! Everyone was so kind! ”
“ Cozy. This place could be easily described as the perfect place to go on a cold winter day. The space is small and it has limited seating for lunch time; it took us a long while to get a table. The prices are a bit high for a coffee shop, but the food was great! Their tomato soup was excellent, their smoked trout sandwich brought me back to Iceland (where I had something very similar). The service was great. Parking was a bit hard to find during lunch time, so carpool is needed. ”
“ I am a big fan of Artifact Coffee. To start with, I love their overall ambiance. Located in an old factory, inside looks like it. They have done an incredible job placing a coffee shop there and not disrupting the charm of the original building. Ambiance is nothing without an excellent product and Artifact's coffee is excellent. Every time I go I sample a different option. Cold brews, Oat Milk lattes, Lavender Latte and Moroccan Spiced Iced Coffee are some of the items I've had during my visits. To date, I've not been let down by anything Artifact serves. During my most recent visit I noticed some weird bottles being handed out to people eating. I inquired about them and learned that Artifact has their own hot sauce in conjunction with a nearby kitchen. I sampled it and left with a bottle. Good stuff! Artifact Coffee has food. I've never eaten there so I can't vouch for any thing (outside of the hot sauce). But man, that coffee. Do yourself a favor and pay Artifact a visit. ”
“ Artifact Coffee has quickly become one of my all-time favorite spots, and for good reason! Every visit reaffirms why I love this place so much. Their whipped iced latte is a must-try, it's light yet creamy! I'm equally obsessed with their Southern-style Ham Jam sandwich; the flavors are rich and comforting, and it's truly a standout item on their menu. Seriously don't skip it! The internet is reliable, which isnt something you always come by in cafes! I have worked here many times during remote days.The cozy rustic vibes create such a welcoming atmosphere. The staff is incredibly friendly, and their quick service ensures a pleasant experience every time. I've been here multiple times and have never been disappointed. I always recommend Artifact Coffee to everyone I know--if you haven't been, you're seriously missing out! ”
“ Need an afternoon pick me up? Or an early morning coffee? This coffee was by far one of the best I've ever had in Baltimore. The syrups are all homemade and this caramel iced latte did not disappoint. Personally, it was the best afternoon drink. The staff couldn't have been friendlier and even gave me an ice water to go! Plenty of sitting inside, which I can't wait to go back to and enjoy. ”
“ Artifact Coffee is an inviting cafe with plenty of seating for big and small groups. This place was quite busy on a Saturday afternoon, but the turn around is rate is quite fast. Their toasted killer ham sandwich was perfection. ”
“ Probably the prettiest coffee shop I've ever been to! Came on a weekday afternoon to get some work done. The building is beautiful and they have really nice outdoor seating too. I was a little surprised at how crowded it was for a weekday, so I can only imagine how busy they get on a weekend. They also only have certain tables available for people wishing to stay and work, so keep that in mind when making your plans. I ordered a whipped iced coffee and egg and cheddar breakfast sandwich on an english muffin, which I added sausage to. The coffee was good, but I wished it had been a little sweeter. In hindsight, I'm sure that's something I could have asked them to do! The breakfast sandwich really hit the spot - I liked the flavor of the sausage (which can be hit or miss for me) and the english muffin was nice and fluffy. They have a lot of other unique sandwich options that I'm eager to go back and try. The whipped iced coffee isn't normally something I'd go for, but I think I was lured by the reminder of the popularity of whipped coffee at the start of the pandemic. I've heard good things about their syrups, so I'm excited to go back and try them. I definitely recommend this spot! ”
“ Artifact continues to be my favorite place in Baltimore for breakfast sandwiches and killer coffee. They recently changed up the menu a bit and I tried the new smoked whitefish sandwich. Holy sh*t, it's amazing. I added bacon to it, because why not? Their bacon is some of my favorite ever. The flavor of the sandwich was absolutely incredible. I also appreciate that they give you two little sandwiches if you ask for gluten free bread since GF bread is infamously tiny. As always, the coffee is delicious especially their specialty lattes made with their house syrups. The service is consistently friendly and helpful and most of the employees seem genuinely happy to be there. Also, their house hot sauce is some of my favorite. This is a great place to work remote so long as you can find a two top since they leave their four tops reserved for non-laptop using customers. I also like that their outdoor patio continues to be open even after the cafe closes. The inside can be a bit chilly in the summer so bring a sweater. ”
