Ceremony Coffee Roasters - Baltimore

I tried the Peanut Butter Apple Toast for the first time, and I have to say, it was quite delicious! The atmosphere is very relaxed and laid-back, which does mean the wait time can be a bit longer... but overall, it has a great vibe. I'll definitely be trying to recreate this at home!

I ordered a bacon, egg, and cheese on a biscuit, and it was just average. The size was comparable to what you'd find at Rofo or McDonald's, but it was pricier. However, the drink I had was a pleasant surprise; the matcha with a Sakura flavor was really tasty. Also, I appreciated that the person taking my order spelled my name correctly—small touches like that make a difference!

Had a quick meeting here today and decided to get a non coffee beverage. I have the Sakura Bloom it is a cold refreshing. The rose petals are a pleasant touch.

I keep getting drawn in here when I’m in Baltimore by the seasonal specialty drinks. I had the Northern Lights in spring 2022 (butterfly pea flower latte with, if I remember correctly, plum or hibiscus powder there was also a version with half matcha and half butterfly pea but they were out of matcha) and the Starlight most recently (winter 2022/23 oat milk latte with anise, cardamom, and 5 spice syrup, topped with edible glitter). I really liked both of these drinks. I’m sure a lot of the appeal is supposed to be that they’re pretty but I just thought they tasted good and it was nice to have something unique. In terms of the aesthetics, the glitter on the Starlight was not really sparkly and would have been underwhelming if I’d actually cared about getting something glittery. A friend got the iced version and the glitter was barely visible, for the iced version since it doesn’t float on top like with the hot, it definitely needed more glitter to actually look like something. The appearance was more important to her than it was to me so she was a little disappointed, although she also thought the taste was great. The Northern Lights was a very pretty drink though. The drinks are more expensive than your typical lattes but worth it for the preparation. For some reason though they gave us our drinks in disposable cups even though we asked for them for here and there seemed to be an abundance of house cups available. I also had the Hummus Toast on this visit. A lot of the food options that I was more interested in were out of stock. The ingredients used were of high quality and very fresh but it was just very plain. So I would definitely recommend it if you’re looking for something simple, it just wasn’t my style. My friend had the grilled cheese and it was just very plain, but I think she liked it. I would say what we got, especially the grilled cheese, was overpriced for what it was. The service was fine. My friend has a nut allergy and needed to make sure nothing came in contact and they assured her that they would be extra careful, and there was clear communication between staff on that.

I’ve enjoyed all of their seasonal drinks, and give them a 5. The default for all of them is to come with oat milk, which for some reason tastes better than if you order the drinks with milk in my opinion. The food however I rate a 3.. haven’t really found anything of note to eat there.
