In the heart of Maryland's growing coffee scene, Prime Coffee & Bakery stands out by blending two extraordinary worlds: the elegance of freshly baked French pastries and the bold, aromatic flavors of Ethiopian coffee.

The café is more than just a coffee shop; it’s a labor of love inspired by a passion for great coffee, artisanal baking, and creating a space for the community to gather, work, and relax. Every morning, their team bakes pastries from scratch using time-honored French techniques and premium ingredients. From flaky croissants to rich, indulgent éclairs, every bite reflects meticulous craftsmanship and quality.

Paired with these pastries is their Ethiopian coffee—celebrated worldwide for its vibrant notes of fruit, florals, and earthiness. Ethiopia is often considered the birthplace of coffee, home to renowned regions like Sidamo, Yirgacheffe, and Harar. At Prime, coffee isn’t just a drink; it’s a nod to a deep cultural heritage that celebrates connection and tradition.

Central to this heritage is the Ethiopian coffee ceremony, where beans are hand-roasted over an open flame, ground, and brewed with care. More than a ritual, it’s an experience—one that fosters community and respect. At Prime Coffee & Bakery, this tradition comes alive in every cup, honoring the journey from farm to table and the dedication of Ethiopian coffee farmers.

What sets Prime apart is this harmony: authentic French pastries paired with coffee steeped in history and culture. It's not just about the flavors; it’s about creating an atmosphere that feels warm, welcoming, and rooted in tradition.

So, if you’re exploring Maryland’s coffee culture, Prime Coffee & Bakery is a must-visit destination—where the art of French baking meets the soulful story of Ethiopian coffee. Come sip, savor, and experience a taste of two worlds, perfectly paired.
