Chesapeake Cafe

Since I flew in on a red eye to Baltimore airport, I was looking for a place that served any sort of caffiene. I saw Chesepeake Café, and that it was organic, locally owned, and fair trade, so decided to give their coffee a try. I ordered a Large House Blend ($ 2.29), and it was solid coffee, but nothing that knocked my socks off. Service was a little slow, but not the end of the world. I will likely be back here for more caffiene if back at the Baltimore airport.

Since this is my first time flying out of the Baltimore-​Washington International airport, I wasn’t sure what the food options would be before my flight. All I knew was that I was hungry. I saw an Auntie Anne’s as I walked toward my gate and could hear my tummy rumble and as much as I love a delicious, hot, buttery pretzel I decided against this for breakfast. I like to eat healthy (for the most part), but this can be pretty hard to do while traveling — especially in an airport!
The sign for Chesapeake Café caught my eye — organic, locally owned, fair trade — so I decided to check it out. Plus, they had Naked Juices — just what I was craving! I saw a picture advertising fresh bagels on the menu and decided to order one. The bagel did not taste fresh and was actually pretty soft even after toasting. I was hoping for a freshly toasted bagel like I enjoy occasionally at Einsteins and Brueggers. This bagel was more like the type you find at your local grocery store — nothing special and definitely not worth the $ 2.59.
The customer service was okay and others seemed happy with their coffee 3 stars seems fair. Note to self for future: Stick with the hand crafted espresso drinks and skip the bakery items.
