As a once loyal customer I will NEVER go back to 49 west. When I was eating a fly 🪰 landed in my food. This is a restaurant I come to often and since I did eat some of my food when I told the waitress what happened I said I would pay a portion. (The max I would be willing to pay is $5 because I barely touched my food). My waitress then tells me the most they could do is 25%. She brings me the receipt with 25% off. Bringing the total bill to $10.32 with only $3.25 taken off. I then ask to speak to a manager. The manger comes over and tells me that they can not control the flies 🪰 and they get into peoples wine often. She then proceeded to tell me next time I should order take out and not eat inside. She said I didn’t have to pay but she did not seem apologetic. They could easily fix the problem and not have flies by spraying bug spray or hiring an exterminator. The pictures include the fly in my food, the amount of food I ate and the discount of the receipt from the fly being in my food.

Great breakfast and lunch place with delicious healthy food and awesome coffee! I will definitely be going there everytime I am in town.

A perfect combination for a coffeehouse, winebar, and gallery. The brie board and a glass of wine on the patio is a great way to spend a sunny day.

49 West is a quaint, friendly and accommodating spot in the heart of Annapolis. The employees are friendly and the drinks and food are excellent. They also have outdoor seating adjacent to their back parking lot in case you want to sit out on a delightful, sunny day. Overall, Im thrilled with the two experiences I have had here and I would be glad to return in the future.

Delicious, great atmosphere, super friendly staff. Did I mention delicious? The coffee was amazing and the pancakes were out of this world. The thin bacon was incredible and the breakfast burrito had the most delicious chorizo and salsa. Oh, and the orange juice was natural, not concentrate. Amazing experience, would come back again and again if I were local!

Good service and good music. My associate spoke highly of the food.

Awesome local coffee and wine shop with lots of local art and awesome decor.

Im sorry for all the negative ratings. But I have made another experience. The service was really good and fast. (Seems to depend on the waiter?!?)The breakfast was OK and everything fine. Coffee as refill, croissant: very good and oatmeal like the good old old-school style. All in all: go, try the 49 West Coffeehouse!

If you are looking for weak coffee and microwaved eggs... this is your place! The staff was friendly, the outside seating was nice and they are dog friendly. If you don’t want to eat or drink... it’s a great place.

Friendly staff and the best food Ive had in months. They sometimes ha e a Groupon available, so check to see if its available if you plan on visiting.

Great stop on way to or from the Visitors Center parking garage. Wonderful music (jazz, Diana Krall, Melody Gardot, etc.), great coffee, great service.

Charming, atmospheric coffee shop. Enjoyed tea and cake and friendly service.

Great stmosphere. The live music was a wonderful addition to our dining experience. The food was made with quality ingredients and was presented in an appealing manor. They had vegan options for my guests, which they thoroughly enjoyed.

Good food, EXCELLENT coffee, great music, relaxed ambience, what else can you ask for?

Nice place to eat breakfast and drink an endless cup of joe.

This is a great place to get together. Food is good and lots of coffee 😋

GREAT COFFEE. FRIENDLY STAFF!!!

Very good coffee and nice service! Beautiful artworks makes this place so special.

Cramped, very expensive for the quality. Service was attentive and friendly! The band was great!!

Food was great. Got the ham and swiss and it was a really good lunch. Service was extremely friendly.

Think more cafe vs. coffee house or wine bar. This is more of a sit down place. Coffee was great, slightly overpriced. Service was pretty slow...

What an experience. We sat down to have a breakfast. The young waitress was kinda okayish, took our order then in 15 min brought our food. (Food itself if meh). 10 minutes into our eating, she comes out to us and tells us once we are ready we can go inside to pay as she is very busy.It was odd, but we were like okay and continued eating.Like 3 minutes later she comes out again and while Im still eating she asks if she could collect the plates and were like sorry but you are a little bit rude...not like anyone was lining up waiting for tables by the way... she then started to argue with us that she is not rude and we were trying nicely to tell her that we are still eating. She then repeated that she wasnt rude and a stubborn teenager left without a word.Well, we are all for supporting local businesses but please train your staff because this was beyond unprofessional.Money could have been spent for a better and more pleasant place....

Coffee is good.

Good food. Went for my birthday. The smoked salmon dish is really good, and plated beautifully (though a bit impractical to eat). Cozy place. Took my groupon with no problem.EDIT: went back again with some family and was still a big hit. My 80 year old grandfather said it was the best lunch he has had in a long time, it is a big deal to get a compliment from him lol ( he got the open faced crab and shrimp sandwich). My grandmother loved her bean soup and said she never had anything like it before.Food was great, they definitely go heavy on cheese, crab, and cream here. Even the side salads had tons of topping on it like peppers and olives. The crab dip and crab quiche are very good. Since it is a coffee house the service is a bit relaxed, many people there were just enjoying some wine while doing stuff on their laptop, so you may need to send a small wave towards your server if you need anything. The server was very friendly, turns out he was the son of the owner. They have two rooms to eat, and some outdoor tables in front and behind (smokers seemed to use the back). If the back room is being used for an event it may be hard to find seating for groups over 6, we had 5 and were able to put 3 tables together. groups of 1-4 should have no problems though.

Great new menu and always excellent atmosphere. Check out Wednesday thru Sunday street party!! Its great.

Great atmosphere and music.

Nice little coffeeshop with very friendly staff and a good variety of coffee specials and other. The right stop after a relaxing day in Annapolis!

This place is a quiet gem on west street. The day i went in i just needed to alone with my thoughts. I ordered a peppermint tea, they serve fresh honey which is amazing and rose lemonade which is also a highlight to any brunch. My server was quick but he also gave me my space which i appreciate. I hope to have time to visit again soon.

I LOVE unique coffee shops ☕ Enjoying a lavender cappuccino, while nibbling on a bacon cheese scone & being inspired by artwork. Happy day!

The 4 guys working today were funny, helpful, knowledgeable about the food, when I asked for recommendations the coffee was great!!!! Highly recommend this place and the Pesto Tuna Burger

Great meeting place for friends that is conveniently located walking distance to other places downtown. Table service or carryout options are available. They have live music and a nice vibe that allows for private conversations. Although part of the relaxed vibe, unfortunately we had some flies that would not leave us alone inside and I attribute that to the open doors. If it was a little more tidy, it would definitely be 5-stars by my standards.

I went to the back room to hear a couple of performers. There were plenty of seats at the tables for the entire audience. Since it was a little late, we ordered dessert and a drink. The desserts are stored in a case at the front part of the restaurant. They were amazing! Our server was attentive. The restaurant is conveniently located close to a parking garage, which charges only $5 for an evening.

Good coffee and desert.

Coffee and dessert good. Cool vibe to relax

Great place for music and food.

Owners who diligently support all the arts. Wonderful!

I came here for a relaxed dinner on a Thursday night. They had a decent selection of Maryland beers at reasonable prices and a pretty extensive wine and liquor menu. The menu is smaller, but they still have a wide variety of interesting food. I had a celery root salad which was pretty good and must be healthy. They have a bunch of liquored coffees that all seemed enticing. The service is great and laid back in a try coffeehouse way.

As regular patrons at love music events, we absolutely love the atmosphere, food and drink. The non-alcoholic London Fog tea is a personal favorite. Excellent beer and wine selection, and wonderful mixed drinks.The art shows are always a hit.The acoustics in the music room are great and the intimacy with the artists makes for an entertaining night

Great coffee. Great fried potatoes. I enjoy being able to just walk in and sit anywhere. Ive eaten in and also have gotten take out. When eating in the wait staff always acknowledges me right away. They are always nice and come to check up on you. And the food comes out in a timely manner. When getting carry out the experience is still good - except if you didnt call your order in you will have to stand there and wait for it. The area by the register is cramped and the wait staff grabs food to run to tables right there. It just feels awkward and I can tell the other customers waiting for their food also feel awkward. Call in your take out order. All the food I have tried has tasted great. The curried chicken salad sandwich is defiantly interesting but Im not sure I mean that in a good way.

This is the most fabulous find ever! Met a friend I hadnt seen in years and stayed for 5 hours. Never rushed. Fabulous cappuccino, vegan and non vegan food, and the music was amazing. The vibe is friendly, our server attentive and gracious. Prices wonderful. Will definately return. LIVE MUSIC and fabulous musicians! and a variety of people in the arts here too.

Great breakfast and they were quick to refill coffee and water.

Very close proximity on the inside, giving it a warm environment year round. Staff are friendly, polite, and bubbly. The food may seem pricey but the portion size is what you pay for, the food is fresh and so very delicious. This is heading downtown Annapolis, so street parking is limited (metered) there is a parking garage (reasonably priced) across the street and there are plenty of public transit methods available. Wonderful place, definitely should stop in for a signature half-sandwich and cup of specialty brew.

This is a nice little coffee shop. I really liked it. The waitstaff are really nice and efficient. The food is also great. They have everything from salads to quiches to burgers. The coffee is pretty standard but the iced matcha latte that they have is a must.

Live music almost every day and evening of the year. Great atmosphere - warm, welcoming and creative. Very connected to and active in the community. Great food. Good place to sit and read, chat with friends, have a working meeting or enjoy music.

What a gem! Great drip coffee and excellent lox and bagel.

The food for the price was not worth it the coffee was warm overall was kind of disappointed especially after spending $47 for some runny poached eggs and weird mushroom and bacon quiche. I would have gone someplace else if I thought the food was going to be so disappointing.

Awesome little spot. Great environment.

Ive been coming here for years and have always loved the vibe. Its a great place to enjoy a quiet lunch while reading a book or to meet up with friends. The staff is always friendly, but my server Mary today really stood out. She was warm, helpful, and attentive without being pushy which is exactly what I wanted. Thanks again for a great lunch 49!

Visited on a Friday afternoon. We had marvelous cappuccinos and warmed brie platter with fresh fruit. The service and atmosphere were excellent.

I went with younger coworkers that frequent the establishment and it was not as I expected. It was just not my thing. SOO EXPENSIVE and these people (the clientele) are pretentious although the staff was friendly.

Adorable little coffee shop. Was very inviting and cozy. Only stopped by for a quick drink, but liked what I saw.

Nice quiet place to get a nice cup of coffee. The employees are friendly, and everyone makes you feel welcomed. Its a place I really wish I had more time to visit

As cozy little spot on a cold winters night. The service was good and everyone seemed to be enjoying themselves. We just stopped in for a cup of coffee so I cant speak for the food.

Art, jazz, poetry, pastries, pies, cocktails, brunch and dinner this place has it all. It has the local feel of Annapolis and is located on historic west street. Relaxing vibes before walking in with outdoor seating in the front and the rear of the building. Sometimes they have more than one musical performance going on with a stage set up in the front and in the rear of the building.

Really cool downtown place to hangout. Good environment. Good music. They have a tastey beer selection and they will let you sample a few if you are unsure. They also have some good burgers and fries. I like the rustic, wood design they have inside and it really is just a neat place to hangout.

I love their deserts. They also have a band playing in the back every now and then. Great place to hang out for coffee. They serve wine as well.

Great place and staff. Excellent coffee and beverales available! Local find with local entertainment! Service was extremely friendly.

We stopped here for wine and a small bite to eat while we killed a few hours downtown. The wine selection is pretty good, and the brie plate was delicious... a little messy, maybe, but totally worth it.Someone was playing on a guitar nearby, and that added charm to the atmosphere. Very pleasant.

Glad its open again!

Wish I could anonymously review this place because I love coming here. Its one of my favorite places to be, and the wait staff and barista are awesome people. However, the running joke is that, here at 49 west, it takes 49 minutes to get coffee. Usually only happens when I sit outside, but it happens and happens too often. The employees, the coffee, the food, and the entertainment are all awesome.

This is one of the only bars my spouse and I visit in Annapolis (we treat this as a bar spot but restaurant or coffeehouse are also appropriate descriptors). We had our first date here seven years ago and it will always hold a special place in our hearts. We enjoy coming here at night for the warm brie and a drink or two. Ian is frequently our server and he is great, really friendly. The cozy atmosphere, local art and live music are all reasons to visit. Seriously though, check out that warm brie plate, delicious.

Oh man, the food and the service were both great, love the ambience and the location. And our server was amazing, I had a toddler with me and she was beyond wonderful!

This is an interesting place. Decoration is nice and cozy. The coffee is good. The pastries are good. However, I was very disappointed with the behavior and unfriendliness of the coffee tender. He asked me to sit and wait for the check. It took them about an hour to get me the check!The way you are treated in a coffee shop is very important and I would not make this place my regular.

Excellent coffee and beverales available! Local find with local entertainment! Cozy vibe. Has organic wine. Had a great time!

48 West is iconic land mark in West Street. Great food, warm atmosphere, and you meet the most interesting people Annapolis has to offer. TIA is the glue of the place, get her to help you, and give her a big tip!

Stopped here for coffee before a show at Rams Head. Forgot to tell the server that I didnt want whipped cream in my coffee drink. She was super sweet and offered to make another, no problem. Thats customer service.👌❤️

I LOVE this restaurant!!! I go to my Drs appt every month in Annapolis and after I go here. I usually get the chicken quinoa bowl (WHICH IS AMAZING) but sometimes try something different. Ive yet to have anything that I didnt love! The atmosphere is incredible and the staff is friendly and attentive. There are a ton of restaurants around here but this is where I choose to go every month!! Also, the roasted potatoes are FANTASTIC!!

Great place for a cup of Joe or tea. What ever your poison is. The hard stuff that is your gig. I feel like it is a good place to go and strike up a conversation with a complete stranger! Or catching up with an old friend!

Truly deeply dark coffee. Free refills. And a sweet outdoor smoking patio. They also have incredible smelling food And a bar!

I came on a Saturday afternoon with 2 friends. i ordered before them but never got my coffee. when i asked about it they said their tickets got messed up and i was given a token for a free coffee. i came back the next day with 4 friends. i was given soy milk when i ordered almond. one friend was given a strawberry pastry but she ordered pumpkin. another was given her food to go when she said she wanted to eat in. the food and coffee is very good. the ambience is very nice but maybe dont order just let them pick what they want to give you

Great service brilliant Atmosphere. A great place to go and if you want to have brunch with friends, or just take a book and enjoy some public alone time. Its not cheap but you always get your moneys worth.

One of the best coffee shops I have been to. Service is phenomenal. Food is great. It has an eclectic feel that mixes the very formal with the very relaxed. Its my favorite place in Annapolis to work and study.

My favorite cafe in Annapolis. Fast, delicious food. Great service. I believe you can judge a cafe by its mocha latte. Theres comes with high quality whip creme and chocolate bits on top - DELICIOUS!

They always have a great variety of music and while the place is small, weve always found a place to sit. The food is very good too. Some of our local musicians play here and we enjoy hearing them. The place is intimate, not a large music hall making for an enjoyable evening every time we go.

All the drinks we got were delicious. Really enjoyed the range of drinks they offered, all nicely crafted.

This is a great place with very friendly stuff and good menu. Its fullfilled with artsy atmosphere and great live music!

The service here is fantastic and the food is just as good. If you find yourself in Annapolis and looking for a casual but super yummy place to get a bite or have a drink, this is a good place to visit. And if youre lucky, ypu might be treated to some excellent local music. Small, cozy and enjoyable.

Cool place, nice vibes, and friendly service. Dropped in for tea and decadent dessert....we were very pleased!

This is a very cozy and relaxing place. We went during the day for lunch. The quiche is delicious, and they gave several different ones.

They have fairly good coffee. The scones were delicious.

Friendly neighborhood coffee shop. Food is pretty good, coffee is great. Well priced. A little slow, but come on, youre not at McDonalds. I like it and stop here pretty often. 4 stars because sometimes it can be tough to get an order in. No less because it normally is worth the wait.

Great service. Wonderful coffee and toast. Perfect for a meeting with a friend or business associate in the morning. No rush to move us out.

Excellent coffee. Nice atmosphere. Great service. Cakes rather expensive though at 7$.

Nice and cool place to hang out. Coffee is good. Like the paintings on the wall. Support local artists.

Great spot for the locals. Some nights you can find a jazz band playing. Ive had the chance to meet the owner and she was very humble.

Great little coffee shop in downtown Annapolis. Nice place to relax or have a quick meeting or get together with friends.

Wanted to try a local coffee house on this lovely snowy day. From the moment we entered the cafe the vibe was off. The man behind the counter looked annoyed that he had customers. While we were waiting for the customers in front of us to pay, I saw a young lady that looked like she worked there. I asked her if they had menus to see their drinks. She handed me the menu and didnt say a word to me. While the man was making our drinks the phone rang, and someone i guessed asked if they were open (because today is a snow day) and he said yes we are open. and got off the phone and made a loud sigh. Both the young girl and the man behind the counter were not friendly and almost rude. I would not go back to this place, which is sad because it was super cute.

This is an excellent excellent local restaurant. Great menu selection, casual atmosphere, interesting art and great wait staff. Try the celery root! You say what ? . The only place in the northern hemisphere that serves great celery root salad! Try it

Wonderful funky atmosphere. Local music and great food.

We went to see a jazz band that was really good. The food was good, but not hot. Loved the atmosphere.

Nice little place. Quaint. Didnt eat there. Was at a business mixer.

Great place to grab a coffee in the morning to good local music at night

My caramel latte wasnt great, but the wine and other beverage list is extensive. The crab dip was delicious and the atmosphere is fantastic. Cozy, adorable, wonderful live music on the Saturday afternoon I spen there.

The very definition of a fantastic local coffee shop. Add their wine selection, amazing desserts & and pastries, extraordinary musicians, full bar, inspiring art, great quiches/sandwhiches & nightly dinner specials, plus the warmly colorful patrons ...... Hands down, one of my top favorite places in Annapolis -- or anywhere ! 😀

You have to go when Grady is on - his cappuccinos are the BEST. Nothing can compare.... Great place to chill, good eats, read the paper, and enjoy the coffee. Thanks Grady.

Love the live music and decent coffee. Staff is mostly great, hit or miss with the front counter though. The time before the last (September) my friend and I were treated badly by this guy. He slammed her coffee down, was being rude, made a couple of comments...maybe a bad day?? We all get those, but come on man, dont take it out on new customers (my friend), put a bad taste in their mouth.

Very good curry chicken salad sandwich on a croissant. Its a common recipe these days, but it was executed well. The cold brew tasted like iced coffee and priced like cold brew. Overall a good cafe experience, a bit overpriced.

I *loved* the atmosphere and the live jazz, and look forward to going again for the music. Not impressed by the food we ordered, though.

Ive been here a few times now and everytime the food is amazing. The shows on Friday nights can be heard all throughout the restaurant so even if you dont want to pay the $12 or so to see the band, youll still have a great experience listening anywhere else.

The best coffee, in Maryland. The sever are always friendly and caring. food is delicious and fresh
