This is a great little coffee shop. The coffee is worlds better than starbucks and for a better price. I’m doing my best to give my money to this place instead of starbucks. You would be wise in doing the same.

Nicely done. So much better than that other ubiquitous coffee place.
Excellent coffee and knowledge.

I’ve worked at Towson Town Center for a little over five years and I’ve seen coffee houses come and go. This place by far is my favorite. In my opinion, it’s better than Starbucks. It’s also much more affordable! The staff is always very friendly and personable, always greeting you with a smile. I would highly recommend this place to anyone looking for an authentic coffee house experience.
Ps their food is also
!

I stopped by Filicori while shopping at Towson Town Center on Thanksgiving night. Let me just say how REFRESHING it is to see a new coffee shop on the scene that sells a truly superior product. The baristas were quite friendly and engaging and helped me make my selection. The espresso drink I ordered (Americano) was made without delay and the taste was smooth and delicious. It’s the type of coffee you would expect at a high end restaurant. I also got a «savory» pastry with spinach which was great too! The best part was that they have reserved seating directly adjacent to the shop so I didn’t have to search for an open seat. Thanks Filicori! I’ll be back

Reality is often stranger than fiction, allow me to share an excerpt from my conversation with the gentleman working the counter.
Me: Can you tell me what kind of beans you use for your espresso?
Barista: We use coffee beans!
M: … OK? Do you use Arabica or Robusto?
B: We use Espresso Beans.
M: *Smile and nod* Thank you for your time. Have a happy holiday!
In an effort to salvage the interaction or incentivize a future purchase the guy working the counter kindly offered me an ‘authentic Italian espresso’ gratis. Two hours into a shopping marathon, I accepted and received a nicely presented single-​shot a minute later.
How it tastes opens up a much larger, and ultimately personal, debate about traditional Italian espresso vs. Third Wave Coffee; culture differences, history of the bean and its place in society.
Personally I found the espresso to be one-​note; too dark and flat with a medium bitter finish. The service and customer interaction was positive — friendly, enthusiastic and fast. Their espresso: «bean there, done that.»

Fantastic customer service (Claudiu in particular), really delicious espresso and cold brew! So nice to have a European high class feel even if it’s in a mall.
So impressed, will definitely be back!
