Daytime cafe in a fancy old building offering American breakfast fare, sandwiches, salads & coffee.

We stumbled upon David’s and Dad’s Cafe while walking to a parking garage after checking out of our hotel, and it turned out to be one of the best surprises of our trip!
We had two bagel sandwiches and coffee, and everything was great. The menu has a huge variety, so there’s something for everyone. The service was top notch, and the space itself has an incredible, cool vibe with that old building charm. Big shout out to the busboy — he was everywhere, keeping the room running smoothly with a friendly smile the whole time.
Highly recommend this spot if you’re in Baltimore — we can’t wait to come back!

Great decor and atmosphere. Clean. Great menu. Reasonable prices. David and Dad’s is in an old building that used to be a bank. It has the wow effect for sure. It is hard to find a good deli anymore, so I’m glad I found this place. I would put it on par with McAllisters. Great offerings of deli sandwiches and staples like cole slaw and potato salad, as well as soups, salads, cheese steak, fries, and some hot entrees.
My roast beef sandwich was piled high with everything that I wanted. The bread was good and soft too. But I wish that they would spread the meat out to the edges of the bread so that the sandwhich was flat. They had a nice complimentary water station set up, and they also had staff to take away your dishes. The restrooms were on the lower level and they looked clean, however, the floor was all sticky, so I decided not to even use it. Overall, it was a nice place and I will go back.

Quality turkey and bacon sandwich, and fresh variety of fruit cup.
They were, however, sold out of the breakfast sandwiches and breakfast items. I was there at lunchtime on the weekend, they said after 10:30 AM no more breakfast items FYI.

Fantastic Italian Panini and lemonade. Really great buttery bread cooked perfectly; banana peppers were a nice touch. Really fast delicious lunch spot for jurors at the courthouse across the street.

My son introduced me to David and Dad’s. We ordered carry-out breakfast. The cinnamon french toast was delicious, as well as the turkey sausage, scrambled eggs and cheese, and sweet tea. The cafe offered a relaxed atmosphere under an aesthetically pleasing ceiling with intricate molding and lighting along with huge windows used for outside viewing as well as a partition between the bar and cafe room.
There were ample tables and seating available. Staff were pleasantly helpful. Customers waited patiently with a number given to each. No sad faces. Orders did not take long.
The food selection was vast. Napkins and utensil were of high quality. I loved David and Dad’s! Plan to return in the near future.
By the way, they also cater. I caught glimpse of a huge box lunch catering order being prepared in a separate room.

Great food, cute spot, very slow and no one is particularly happy to be here. I haven’t been here in over a year and came back but this time I ordered ahead. I was told it would take 15 mins. 30 mins later I’m still waiting. Don’t come here if you have plans for your time.

What an amazing place!! A repurposed bank that has become a trendy breakfast eatery that offers a ton of different items including traditional breakfast plates and also more modern options like smoothies. I tried the avocado toast and unfortunately neglected to get a picture because, and trust me in this, if you could see the plating, you’d drive there for an order right now! A delicious balsamic drizzle takes it over the top! Just when I thought I was satisfied, we tried the smoothies and I highly recommend the peanut butter banana for a filling and slightly sweet treat! The coffee comes with free refills which is a nice touch. My only critique is that the way the tables are arranged makes the eating area a bit tight and somewhat difficult to make your way through the tables, like when you want to fix your coffee. I recommend a different arrangement to help open it up some more. Have a great breakfast here!

Amazing eat-in cafe in downtown Baltimore! Pancakes are incredibly fluffy, bagels / croissants taste freshly made & we tried the iced pistachio latte (HIGHLY recommend). Very tasty and affordable with helpful/kind staff. Be sure to try next time you’re in town!
