Beans in the Belfry

This place is wonderful! We saw the sign along rt 340 on our way to Harper's Ferry, and we had to stop in. It's in a 1910 Reformed Church with stained glass windows, gorgeous atmosphere, and ambient music. There was plenty of cozy seating, tables and chairs. Plenty of interesting decorations and old pictures everywhere your eye looked. Now onto the food and drinks....they have thee best iced vanilla chai I've ever had, the sandwiches are banging, and the desserts....oh my...we had the toasted almond cake (heavenly), the baklava (delicious), and the brownie a la mode. If you're near Brunswick, MD make the trip to this fantastic gem of a coffee shop because it's so worth it!

Slowest service, terrible coffee, and bad food. We ordered a toasted bagel and the quiche, after they had checked if there was enough (there had been many quiche orders before mine). After 50 minutes, they told me told there wasn't any quiche left so I ordered a sandwich. After an hour wait total, we got our food. It didn't seem unusually busy for a Saturday but they were probably under staffed. In the mean time waiting for the food, I had to notify them twice their drip coffee was empty, and it took about 10 minutes to replace. The coffee was so bad I needed to add honey and cream to it so it would taste like something (I usually drink it black). We also ordered an espresso that tasted like the previous drink that was made, some gingerbread spiced thing. Poor care with their coffee all around. My sandwich was soggy and did not have much filling. The interior of the building was kind of cute.

Cute little place off the beaten path. Ordered a Tuscan panini with gluten free bread, very tasty. Also had a pot of the Shenandoah Blue tea... Highly recommend!

This place is just awesome inside, atmosphere is wonderful. I had a quiche Lorraine for breakfast, and it was pretty darned good. The sourdough "baguette" (for lack of a better description) was pretty stinking good …
