<\/b>NEO-CON\u2026UM..NEO-COFF\u2026<\/b><\/h2>\n

The final stops in the great Baltimore Coffee Tour of 2016 are what I consider the new wave of curated, fancy, disciplined, and refined coffee shops hitting my hometown. These places are obsessed with all facets of detail in performing their craft. They make sure the aesthetics and flavors of their coffee drinks and food are impeccable and irresistible. The coffee is flavorful, the people are pretty, and the settings are sleek and styled.<\/p>\n

The granddaddy of the neo-coff\u2019s is\u00a0Ceremony Coffee<\/a>\u00a0in Mount Vernon. This may be the largest of all coffee shops in Baltimore. It\u2019s got a massive food prep and coffee bar area, and it even has it\u2019s own cupping lab. Ceremony hails from Annapolis, MD, but has definitely staked out its claim in Baltimore with this beautiful bright sun-drenched space. They of course serve all the espresso staples that you love but also produce several creative coffee drinks from Shakeratos to Coffee Root Beer Floats. The staff is impressive in its meticulousness and the food is treated with the same kind of love.<\/p>\n

Next on the list is Spike Gjerde\u2019s foray into the coffee scene. Powered by Counter Culture,\u00a0Artifact Coffee<\/a>\u00a0is housed in a old mill building in Woodberry on the Hampden side of the river (I don\u2019t actually know it\u2019s a mill, but I figure it\u2019s safe to say since all the new places popping up in Baltimore are in old mill buildings). The space evokes warmth and comfort only found in all brick restyled industrial places, and the turntable playing old school vinyl classics doesn\u2019t hurt. The coffee offerings are solid and\u00a0the overall experience is totally worth the visit.<\/p>\n

The baby of these coffee shops is\u00a0Order&Chaos Coffee<\/a>\u00a0in Riverside right off of Key Highway. It\u2019s just under a month old as of this writing, but already making waves with its unique beginnings. Order&Chaos was created as a coffee shop within the Planit Advertising Agency so it could provide some creative fuel for its workers. The space is as expected: sleek, hip, stylish, and tongue-in-cheek. The mugs with the shop\u2019s logo already look like a collector\u2019s item worth stealing\u2026um\u2026buying. The coffee is, surprisingly, reasonably priced, and it looks like this place is already a favorite for Baltimore coffee addicts.<\/p>\n

I\u2019ve been saying for a while now that Charm City\u2019s food offerings have improved greatly in recent years;\u00a0the coffee scene has undergone a similar transformation. There are still those old school shops that speak to the heart of Baltimore. We\u2019ve got those coffee nooks that identify with more than just good coffee. Finally, there\u2019s a new, sleek, modern wave of coffee shops that pride themselves on amazing aesthetics and refined coffee. Baltimore has come a long way in just my lifetime when it comes to coffee, and I\u2019m stoked to see what comes next.<\/p>\n

Baltimore has three\u00a0types\u00a0of coffee shops:
\nThe OG\u2019s (Original Gangstas)<\/a>,
\nNeighborhood Nooks<\/a>
\nNew Coffee<\/a><\/p>\n
