Beans in the Belfry

Placed my order let the young man know I wanted Large coffees, when order came out everything was small. The guy that gave us our order was the same guy that took it, I told him we ordered large and just stares at us and proceeds to hand us our order, his shirt said I like cold beer, not very professional. He just ignores us after giving us our order. We than approached young lady behind the counter, she did give me bigger cups for our hot coffee but one was an iced coffee and she said we would have to get back in line. Not worth the time, this is the third time being here but will be my last for a while. My first visit was great loved the iced coffee and gluten free cake which they did not have this time, the guy said they are still waiting for it to come in. Each time I've been in here service has gotten worse. There is a new pastry shop down the road from here will go there next time and see if service is better.

This charming and unique destination coffee shop is nestled in the heart of downtown Brunswick, MD, a town rich in history with its historic railroad and the C&O Canal towpath. Just two blocks from the Potomac River, Beans in the Belfry is housed in a beautifully restored 1910 Brunswick Reformed Church, featuring original stained-glass windows, cozy private nooks, and an inviting atmosphere that feels like home. If you love destination coffee shops, this one is a must for your bucket list! The original owner, Melanie DiPasquale, lovingly restored the church, and it has since been taken over by the impressive husband-and-wife duo, Eddie Nunez and Stefani Penaranda. In addition to running Beans in the Belfry, they manage a successful snowplow and daycare business, work in Cybersecurity and Real Estate, and are raising two young children—making their stewardship of this beloved café even more remarkable. Whether you're stopping by for a peaceful morning, a midday break, or an afternoon catching up with friends and family, Beans in the Belfry offers a warm and welcoming retreat. Their menu features everything from delicious breakfast and lunch options to specialty hot drinks, ice cream, and irresistible pastries. They have gluten free and vegetarian offerings as well. Beyond serving great food and coffee, Eddie and Stefani continue the tradition of community care, making this café not just a place to visit, but a place to belong. They are truly paying it forward, one cup at a time.
