Baltimore’s JHU-Neighbor Café Gem: Carma’s Successor – Chill Vibes & Delicious Bites ☕🍞 Tucked within walking distance of JHU (in the former Carma Café spot), this cozy café has quickly become a go-to for students and remote workers—with a chill atmosphere, flavorful coffee, and creative baked goods that hit all the right notes. Open Tuesday-Sunday 7 AM-3 PM, it’s the perfect spot for a morning pick-me-up, study session, or casual brunch. ✨ Why It’s a JHU Favorite Ultra-Convenient Location: Just a short walk from campus (3120 St Paul St), making it ideal for grabbing coffee before class or settling in for a productive study session. Chill, Productive Vibe: Comfortable cushions, mellow music, and a calm energy—plenty of people were writing or working during my visit. It’s cozy without feeling cramped, and the ambiance encourages focus and relaxation. Thoughtful Details: They use Little Man Oat Milk (a quality choice for plant-based drinkers!), and menu + Wi-Fi password are clearly displayed (see last two photos)—no awkward asking for connectivity! ☕🍴 Must-Try Picks Latte (Whole Milk): 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 Deliciously smooth! Not bitter or acidic, with a mild, aromatic flavor that’s easy to sip. The balance is perfect—rich enough to satisfy coffee cravings, but light enough to pair with baked goods. Pistachio Milk Toast: 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 A sweet, indulgent delight! It has a caramelized toast vibe—crispy on the edges, soft in the middle, with a creamy pistachio spread that’s not overly sweet. The nutty, buttery flavors are addictive—hard to put down! Matcha Pan del Sal: 🌟🌟🌟🌟 A creative twist on the classic! The matcha cream is a bit thick (but totally manageable), and the sweetness is subtle—letting the earthy matcha flavor shine. The bread itself is soft and fresh, making for a satisfying sweet-savory bite. 📌 Practical Info 🏠 Name: [Café Name] (Former Carma Café)📍 Address: 3120 St Paul St, Baltimore, MD 21218 Hours: Tuesday-Sunday 7 AM-3 PM (closed Mondays) Menu Highlights: Smooth lattes, pistachio milk toast, matcha pan del sal, and a pink menu with more creative offerings (next on my list!).
