Atwater's Catonsville

This is the best coffee shop cafe to stop by and great gluten free choices. Try their gf seed bread toasted on any sandwich. Inventive salads, soups, sandwiches, bright spaces, great staff, smooth coffee, a delight for the senses.

Love this place! Their Hometown breakfast is delish! Great value for a lot of yummy food! Some of the very best baked goods in the area. Large selection of savory croissants ( spinach and feta; ham and cheese, etc) on the weekends. We usually take home a loaf of their amazing breads. with a hat of their cherry jam. Perfecto! While we usually go for breakfast-their soups and luncheon options are fab. Large selection of vegetarian/ gluten free options. Excellent gluten-free brownies. Free refills on their fresh brewed coffees and teas. Staff is ALWAYS friendly. Love their new renovation. Both upstairs and downstairs areas are light, bright, and welcoming. They have a new party room upstairs. Elevator accessible. Easy to find metered parking on the street-although there often is free customer parking spots in the back.

Major props for treating gluten free bread as the half-sized slices they are. This is the first place I've been to that spreads the sandwich contents across two small sandwiches. Every other place either attempts to stuff the insides onto puny slices (rarely) or more likely, simply gives you less. In those places, not only are you paying through the nose for GF bread, but you then get less food for the privilege. NOT SO at Atwater's. On top of delicious creations, you also get generous servings and can enjoy your meal like anyone else. Coincidentally had two meals in 3 days here and will be back!
