Saturday Morning Cafe, Baltimore

Each day, the modern interior of Saturday Morning Cafe fills with the aromas of freshly brewed coffee, seafood and chicken sizzling on the grill, and sweet pastries. In warmer weather, these smells might mingle with an invigorating breeze from the Inner Harbor and the dulcet tones of far-off sea shanties in the outdoor seating area. In this casual atmosphere, diners indulge in comfort food, including french toast topped with berries and whipped cream, house-made waffles with Southern-fried chicken, and omelets stuffed with crab and shrimp—all served alongside Zeke's Coffee. And diners don't need to set their alarms: breakfast is served all day. Later in the day, chefs prepare sandwiches and specialties such as barbecue chicken and fish and grits. The space also hosts occasional live performances from local musicians and showcases work from local artists.
