My favorite breakfast spot. Daily specials. Their bacon, thyme fishcakes are incredible. Corned Beef Scramble is my new favorite. Paleo options terrific. Homemade breads. Friendly, dedicated staff. It's a small, intimate space, so leave your name when you arrive. On summer weekends, enjoy a cup of coffee outside and enjoy the view of Cripple Cove and the Inner Harbor. The meal is worth the wait.

Shopping
For everyone who appreciates and enjoys delicious, handcrafted chocolates, Turtle Alley is not to be missed. Hallie Baker, Proprietor/Chocolatier, has something for every palate. My favorites include dark aloha turtles, raspberry truffles, and lavender and rosemary salted caramels. A half pound box is my favorite hostess gift.
