• Craving a neighborhood, family-friendly brunch spot that does it all? Look no further than Coopers Tavern in Edgewater! At Coopers Tavern, quality comes first. Their menu is packed with fresh, local favorites, and some of their own tasty creations, sourced from partners like Marco Ridge Farms (Davidsonville) and Fells Point Meats (Baltimore). Favorites include the “Top of the Morning”(three eggs of any style, choice of breakfast meat, served with breakfast potatoes and choice of toast); Breakfast Burrito ( scrambled eggs, cheddar cheese, chipotle mayo, sautéed peppers, onions, and choice of breakfast meat, served with pico de gallo, sour cream, and breakfast potatoes); and the Tavern Skillet (breakfast potatoes topped with homemade sausage gravy and two eggs of any style, and toast).  #CoopersTavernMD #WhereLocalsGo
  • P.S. Brunch is on Saturdays from 11:00 am to 2:00 pm and Sundays from 10:00 am to 2:00 pm. 
  • P.S.S. Their homemade sausage gravy might be the best I’ve tasted.

• In for 2025: trips to Black Market Bakers. With weekly specials rotating on their menu like different flavored cruffins (a cross between a croissant and muffin), danishes, scones, and sourdough, Black Market Bakers will never go out of style. Favorites in rotation include their Everything Sourdough, Lemon Pomegranate Danish, Chocolate Crinkle Cookie, and Boston Cream Cruffin. Classic menu items that could never disappoint are their giant Oatmeal Cream Pie, OG Cinnamon Bun, and Banana Mascarpone Muffin. Oh, and don’t forget about their Avocado Toast – be sure to add bacon and a fried egg!
