Editorial Review for Morning Edition Cafe – by Rachele Lawton
The Scene
Homey and laid-back, Morning Edition is the kind of place where you almost expect to see patrons sipping coffee in their robes and slippers. Full of quaint antiques, mismatched furniture and the cozy ease of the countryside, this cafe has become one of Baltimore's favorite places to start the day.
The Food
With such a diverse menu, it can be hard to make up your mind. The French toast resembles an indulgent dessert: thick slices of bread are dipped in oranges, cinnamon and Grand Marnier--sinfully delicious. Superb omelets come in countless varieties, but the version with hardwood-smoked bacon, mushrooms, peppers, onions and fontinella cheese is especially good. In addition to practically every breakfast food imaginable, Morning Edition offers lunch sandwiches, pastries and delicious scones. A fresh mimosa or steaming hot chocolate adds the perfect finishing touch.

My thinking is the people who said this place is quaint and charming are employees of Morning Edition. Why would anyone pay $12 for brunch and to get such bad service that you feel like you've been robbed for your money. The two women working the tables were incredibly slow and rude. The one slammed plates and in two separate instances seated a table and then made the customers get up and move to another table. The place was not busy at all so there wasn't a line of people neeeded to be seated. The waitress made an error on our check and when we showed her, the response we got was, "Don't pay the total bill. Subtract out what is incorrect." Of course she still ran the bill on our credit card at the full price. The food is okay at best. But its certainly not good enough to make you forget about the service. 60 minutes to make an omelette? For those of you who have never made an egg before it should not take more than 10 minutes to cook. And thats being extremely generous. The staff is lazy and rude, the food is okay at best but overpriced. Why waste your time and precious Sunday morning at this place. If you don't believe me, please check it out for yourself. Make up your own mind. Also, the person who said this is just like in Vermont and how you order iced tea, etc. Not sure what part of Vermont you've been to but my experience in Burlington have been nothing like this. If fact, Vermont has always been a place where locals are friendly.

If you have heard the old VT jokes such as, "I'd like Ice Tea" and the server replys, "we don't serve that here" . Customer says, "bring me hot tea, and a glass of ice" waiter says, "we know how, we just don't serve it here." Imagine the folks working there live there, and you are a casual friendly visitor not a paying customer. If you have been a visitor in any of the country places in vermont, slow roads slow casual pace, and a resistance to "flatlanders". Then this is the place for you, service is not fast food service, appropriately and the food is fabulous, appropriately priced for baltimore or any other large city on the east coast. The food is superior to anyplace we have found in Baltimore. The problem is that they are only open 3 days a week and close by 2pm. Go, be patient, and enjoy the amazing food, everyone who visits gets to go there and loves it.
Pros: The environment and food are amazing.
Cons: You have to know how this place works, be a repeat customer and it pays off, you are a guest not a paying customer.
