10 reviews for 49 West
Really good coffee and very nice staff.
Really need to work on the breakfast menu. Healthy or not steamed eggs are not good! Oatmeal for 6.25 with some sliced bananas needs to be hot at least---maybe that is not what they were going for but then it should be called muesli.
Not a big fan of the early morning live preformance but that is just me.
Get coffee and read the paper.
I was greeted by two Bernese Mountain dogs standing outside the restaurant/coffee house. I figured if two exotic dogs were hanging out here, the place must be good.
There were three of us for breakfast. We were seated in the front window. The place is cozy, lots of artwork, nice environment to dine in. Tables are close together.
We ordered two types of Quiche (Broccoli-Cheese & Mushroom-Bacon) and Bagel with Salmon. The food portions were very large. The Quiche was served with a delicious salad and the Salmon portion was generous. $40 with tip for three.
We enjoyed the food and talked for what seemed like hours over Cappuccino. I know the service can get shaky in this place, but they were on the mark today.

A coffee shop, art gallery, wine bar, and music venue - all rolled into one? Great idea, and it seems to be working so far. I would have given it four stars if the service had been more attentive. If you like Jazz, stop in on Tuesday nights.

Everything you want in a coffee shop! Dinner and lunch specials change often. Live music, late night menu and killer service. I love this place and I don't even drink coffee!!!

SO we went for a Sunday morning breakfast and to read the paper... and we were pretty happy with what we got. I got a mocha (big honking mocha) and he got a latte.
I got Fruit with Vanilla Yogurt and fresh made granola and it was pretty good. It's almost one of the most expensive breakfast items ($8.25), but when the bowl came I understood, it was huge and it had melon, banana, strawberries, blueberries, and pineapple. It was yum, and my hubby had a croissant sandwich (egg, cheese, bacon). He ate it all so it must have been good. But we sat and enjoyed our papers and huge coffee drinks. The drinks were ok, the service sufficed. Can't complain. I would probably go back for a Sunday morning breakfast.

The servers are all way too hip and ironic to be bothered with those pesky, uncool customers.
The single redeeming quality of this place is the chance to see some great artwork.

Okay, not the perfect coffee shop. Actually, if you want a coffee shop as such, you should go to City Dock. However, if you want coffee and a light meal for a lazy afternoon, it's great.
Yes, service is often slow. Seriously, if you're in a hurry to go, you probably ought to get up and chase down the server, because there's no guarantee he or she will stop by in less than 15 minutes.
However, the atmosphere is great, and the quiche is the best anywhere.

This place would be great if the staff actually cared about the customers. I've been there loads of time and have had many friends on staff. It's just not what they do there. The staff goofs off and speaks amongst themselves. I don't care how great the ambiance of a place is, ignoring guests is no fun. I know that's part of the deal when you go there, and I knew what to expect every time, but every time I was amazed by how bad the service was.
On the other hand the food is good and relatively inexpensive, the staff is a bunch of "cool kids" there are fun to hang out with after work. The drinks are always a treat and there always some kind of cool live music in the back.
Just don't go to this place if you want someone to wait on you because that is sort of your privilege here.
I still love you Walker, Meredeth and everyone else. I'm sorry to bash you, but I still think it's not cool.

Located at, well, 49 West Street, in Annapolis, 49 West is the perfect coffee shop.
Before I go further, let me rave about their vanilla chai for a moment. It is seriously the best stuff on earth. I prefer it to alcohol. And I don't prefer anything to alcohol. It's amazing.
It's little hippieish, as all coffee shops tend to be. At least the real ones. Starbucks doesn't count.
The waiters there are SO friendly---a lot of them even end up coming out to parties, bars, whatever, after I go there with us. My friends and I frequent this place a lot, just cause it's so cool.
They have a backroom, where they have small concerts with cool local/semi-local bands, which is nice if you are into music at all. They have a wide variety.
It's in downtown Annapolis without being right down town, so it's a short walk to City Dock and all of the other attractions down there.
They've got an outdoor seating area out back, which is nice for a sunny autumn afternoon or a summer night.
They have a lot of regulars---people reading books, playing chess, etc. Go there a few times and the waiters will recognize you and know you by name.
I love the atmosphere the best. And the chai tea. Mmmm....

Music in the back room. Don't stop at the coffee shop . . . go to the back room. Music every night from 7 to 11 or so. Very eclectic. $5+ cover.
