Went yesterday for the first time and ordered a brisket and egg sandwich. It came with grilled mushrooms. I skipped the cheese and requested jalapenos, which they marinate in house. Also got the spicy honey on the side. That sandwich was SOooo delicious!! I'm still thinking about it the next day. And, the staff was informative, helpful, and proud. It's hard to rate atmosphere because tables are in the hall and out front, so not much atmosphere, but don't let the deter you.

This restaurant will always be one of my favorites! They are tucked into a tiny spot in a huge building, but every inch of the place is filled with personality and charm. They have a good, creative menu and decent prices. Their food is always fresh and prepared with care. They take allergies very seriously. I have celiac's and feel safe eating here. When I ate there in person, I was able to see that they prepared my gluten free sandwich completely separately and with dedicated equipment. I usually order delivery through DoorDash while at work and everything is well packaged and arrives in great shape. Though it's small, they make good use of the space. They have some limited seating both indoors and out and even have some games there for you to play! I have recommended this place to friends and family and definitely think it's worth a visit!

I have no idea what took me so long to get over here. But, I’m glad I finally did. It is going to be a regular stop for us for sure! Probably the best current breakfast sandwich in Baltimore. I absolutely love the endless customizations. Also, their sandwiches are enormous. They absolutely explode with flavor. If you aren’t getting your breakfast sandwich here, you’re definitely failing. FYI, it is really a carry out spot. But if you don’t live nearby you can always eat outside. Large park is basically across the street!

Really yummy food and a satisfying fancy drink :) And cute, too! Can't go into the main area right now except to order, but it seems cozy.

~ Reviewing for the Kitsch inside Gilman Hall on JHU Homewood campus ~ Iced Breakfast at Tiffany’s latte is a MUST GET. It’s a perfect mix of sweet and cinnamon flavor that I am absolutely obsessed with. When I get rich, I would love to try their sandwiches someday 🥺 (crying in broke college student haha) Highly recommend!!!! Way better than Starbucks latte ew And $6.89 gets you a HUGE large sized iced latte so that’s 10000% worth

I love this restaurant. It’s simple and to the point in the best way. For example, the humble breakfast sandwich. You can crazy, you can go classic. And it’s all good. They make the eggs to order. Seldom is an egg cooked beforehand good let alone edible. They seem to know this and I love them for it. The whole pickles? Incredible. Perfect mix of cafe and deli. I cannot wait for them to expand because the downside is it’s in what is essentially JHU housing. But price and consistency is worth it every time.

Reddit said this was the best breakfast sandwich and they were not lying. The Cuban is terrific. Ham, swiss, eggs, pickles and dijonnaise. Also the staff was terrific. They put milk and sugar in my coffee for me which I think is a little thing but really appreciate. I wish it was closer to my house or my office but I will be back soon. As a side note, it's something about this particular neighborhood that I have been to three restaurants that were located inside older apartment buildings. It's a vibe up there.

I was happy that I was able to find a parking spot nearby. Kitsch is located in the heart of Charles Village and Johns Hopkins University Homewood campus area. Found this little spot tuked inside the corner of the Carlyle Apartment Homes. Upon entry, I was immediately greeted and felt a sense of warmth from the sweetest soul. I had the choice of any egg: scrambled, fried, over easy; choice of bread, choice of protein, choice of veggies and choice of sauces. I decided on a scrambled egg sandwich on a mutli-grain with lettuce, tomato, Duke mayonnaise, and bacon. I did purchase some fermented beverages and was in awe to discover they were made from Baltimore and gives back to Baltimore City schools. I couldn't wait to get home to dive into my sandwich, and was happy that it stayed hot enough to still enjoy.... and sweet baby Jesus, I enjoyed every bite of my sandwich. Would definitely come back and hope this spot will be here to stay. Flavor: 🥪🥪🥪🥪🥪 Decor: 🥪🥪🥪🥪🥪 Customer Service: 🥪🥪🥪🥪🥪 Convenience: 🥪🥪🥪🥪

1st timers at University location. Cool little spot. We sat, but more designed for takeout. Very friendly and cheerful staff, who helped us with our choices. And food was yum - delicious! And don't forget the sweets.

A top contender for best sandwiches in Baltimore!! Small cafe/restaurant located just 3 min away from Johns Hopkins north exit. The sandwiches were unique and delicious and the apple cider and black coffee were as well. Seating and parking is very limited, so the place is ideal for grab and go/quick chat. Looking forward to trying the rest of their menu
