Atmosphere:
The Fells Point Daily Grind is a one of a kind coffee shop - nothing can match it. Always bustling with people, it has a funky, ultra casual, lived in feel. There is local artwork on the wall and some sharpie poetry in the bathroom. It is one of our favorite places to go when we don't have a ton of things to do. On days when you have a ton of work we'd recommend heading someplace else. You'll be so distracted people watching you'll get nothing done! But if you find yourself going crazy staring at your office walls - head on down! You will leave with your brain packed with wild ideas and if you dive into the flyer pile you will know every band gig and art show happening in the fells point area.

The Coffee:
Always a great selection. A few piping hot house blends to choose from and all the specialty drinks as well.

Best Time to Go:
Get there early if you want a table!! And if you venture over there when you need to get things done - head for the "quiet room" in the back. It's a little darker and for some reason people don't answer their phones as much in this room.

Food: Yes
They offer limited options - breakfast (which they usually run out of at some point) some sandwiches and other snacks.

Wifi: Yes
Sometimes tricky getting an outlet. They have experienced issues with mac's (why just macs?) getting online, but hopefully they have fixed this!

What we stayed for:
A bagle with cream cheese and a super hot latté.
In the summer I've even stayed long enough for a second iced mocha.
