Loved everything about this coffee shop. The baristas were nice, the atmosphere is cozy, there’s plenty of indoor and outdoor tables, and the book store part has a great selection of YA books. The seasonal brown sugar and cardamom latte was delicious, and oat milk doesn’t have an extra charge! The egg breakfast sandwich was also amazing.

Cream and Amber is absolutely one of my favorite places. They create an atmosphere that makes me feel safe and wanted. I love to go there with friends or by myself. I even signed up to get my tarot cards read there which was an awesome experience! Check out their events they host. The drinks are delicious, the staff is warm and kind, and the book selection is awesome. And if they don’t have something, they will order it! Cannot recommend my favorite spot enough!

I love ❤️ this place. Coffee cider wine and books. What more relaxing way to spend your time. Plus they are supportive of their staff and our diverse hopkins community. I love all the special coffee's like maple 🍁 one I had this time was amazing. Way better than supporting billionaires like Starbucks. Shop small! Thank you for being part of the hopkins community.

What an all around amazing place:) They were hosting a blood drive today, so we made our way over there. Mom enjoyed a great coffee and they had one of my fave Bent Paddle brews on tap- we sat and sipped and enjoyed just the best atmosphere:) We will be back!

Awesome space, really nice employees, and overall great vibe. I can see why some may want to keep it a secret 'in the best way'. Took my bookworm here on an afternoon coffee/beer date, and it was so worth it. Support these places if you have the means. Food is not really notable, but it's a decent snack.
