Integrated reviews of restaurants, venues, and other attractions gives visitors an informed perspective on the area.

Today Paul and I went to the market and tried our

best to haggle. We were too overwhelmed with the

options and ended up eating at a restaurant.

A Real Coffee Shop! Forget about Starbucks and

Donna’s, if you want good coffee to start your engine

in the morning, you can’t top Riverside. They roast

coffee beans in the store to bring you the freshest

coffee in the Baltimore area. Riverside also offers

breakfast sandwiches, muffins and pastries in a relaxed

atmosphere. They have three locations in Howard County.

Riverside Coffee not only has a large selection of

coffees but is also a nice sandwich shop. The soup and

sandwich is a good combo deal for lunch. I have ordered

coffee beans as gifts for family members during the

holidays as well.
