Silt Coffee Co. — Restaurant in Hagerstown

Hagerstown's best hidden gem!! This is the only place around that can offer you a good coffee AND good food!!

Coffee: The cold coffee has this creamy, delicious nutty flavor that I cannot get enough of! It isn't too sweet, it isn't too bitter, it's the perfect combo!! The seasonal drinks rotate appropriately. They are unique, NOT mainstream, but also not strange combinations. I love the variety. Every season I see the drink list, it always surprises me that they were able to put together yet another combination that is unique and delicious. The variety is the best. Exciting and reliable. The cost is appropriate and you get way more coffee than what you would pay for at Starbucks.

Food: I thought I was going to fall in love with this place strictly for the coffee. WRONG. The food is AMAZING. I remember one time I got a buffalo chicken, egg, cheese sandwich on a croissant and it was the BEST thing I've ever had. The manager frequently puts together samples of different foods to get the opinions of their customers before releasing new items on the menu. The customer service is very clearly through the roof! They have a variety of foods, as well, not just breakfast! Their soup is very tasty, their salads are created very well. They have a small bakery section. I've only had the chocolate chip cookies. Of course, to die for! Price is about $10 per meal. Very reasonable!

Atmosphere: Now this one is the kicker.. the atmosphere in this place is unlike any other you've experienced. You walk into the main area which strikes you as a cozy coffee shop - plants, low lighting, checkers, cozy seating.. but then you realize it's so much more. As you walk throughout the room you will fine 3 unique, small, cozy private rooms. These are open to anyone and are perfect for those in depth conversations or a study session. Two of them have TVs that allow you to change the channel, typically they have a cozy fire place shown on them. Each room has a variation of seating- some chairs, some tables, a couch. I love all of the options. The bathroom is clean and cozy, as well. They have conference rooms available for rent if you need to request it for a meeting. You can't beat that.

Merchandise: We seriously love this place so much that we've bought several items of their merchandise. They only carry high quality, comfy/soft material. Again, so reliable! The logos and designs are so cute too.

Honestly we are waiting for another location to open here. The quality is too good. I hope more people learn about this place so they can experience it too. Be sure to check the hours. Recently they had opened up on Saturdays and that has been a huge game changer for...

So far this is our favorite coffee shop in Hagerstown. I do have a goal of trying them all, but honestly.. we keep coming back to Silt. Lol

The staff is so welcoming and accommodating and the owner, Gary, is always bustling about and chatting with people. There's a cozy and happy energy that radiats from this cafe and we love it.

For example, we come often enought that I know there's a small group of retirees that meet and have coffee together a few times a week. Even though I don't know them, it's a delight to see them there, enjoying each other's company over some yummy food and coffee.

The space really feels like a community coffee shop where the staff recognizes you, might even have your drink memorized or know that you need decaf espresso. They have it set up where you can come and relax, chat with friends, work... whatever and feel comfortable. I believe they even have a little conference space for private meetings if needed.

We've pretty much completely stopped going to chain coffee shops like Starbucks and Dunkin' in Hagerstown because the atmosphere, food, coffee, and price are just so much better here.

Thanks for being such a great place, Silt!

Bonus points for Silt, for those who might want to know: Basically all their single-use products are compostable. I haven't noticed any compost bins for them (just regular trash bins) but we usually take our stuff home and compost it. Regardless, I love that they do this. Every little bit helps! The staff will work with you for dietary or taste preference needs. Some of their lattes are too sweet for me, and they let me know I can just request it "less sweet" and it turns out perfect. Another time we asked if we could just have plain avocado mash on the avocado toast since it tasted really salty the first time we had it. They're always so nice and I love interacting with them. We really appreciate...

I’m writing this review because it’s been a long time since I’ve been out to place to have breakfast and had an outstanding experience. I was a bit skeptical at first because of the area. But the actual location was pretty decent. I have to give flowers to whoever does the hiring first and foremost, because you couldn’t ask for a better staff. These young people were polite, kind, friendly, very well spoken and had the most positive charismatic attitudes I’ve ever seen in a dining establishment. Each of them have their own unique style that ultimately gives this place 5 stars for good vibes. I was very impressed. Now getting down to the atmosphere and the cleanliness of this cafe. More flowers given to the interior designer. This place makes you feel right at home. I won’t spoil it for you by giving away so many details. I’ll let you experience it for yourself. However I did save the best for last. “The Coffee” I had a hot coffee drink and I tried their Iced coffee. For all my coffee lovers. Nowhere North or South of 81 can compare. It’s sad because I live in Winchester, VA. “The Food” Best Croissant I’ve ever had. Very stylish serving plates. The food and drinks came out really fast. You have to try the Spices Honey. “The Price” Well let’s just say that this place is truly a hidden gem, and the folks of Hagerstown is super lucky. Great Job Silt Coffee. I look forward to dining with...
