Beans in the Belfry

Beans in the Belfry
122 West Potomac Street
Brunswick, MD 21716
(301) 834‑7178

I may have raved about other cafes, but Beans in the Belfry is my favorite in the Tri-State area. They have a doll house. They have dress up clothes. They have books. They have toys. They have so much to look at. They put man­goes in their cous­cous. Beans in the Belfry is cool.

Mr. Don vis­its Beans in the Belfry twice a month (first Thursday 10:30 to 11:30am, third Monday 3 to 4pm), and dur­ing his per­for­mances the place is packed to an over­whelm­ing degree.

Tips for your visit

• The ser­vice is slow. I won’t be a prob­lem if you keep your expec­ta­tions low.
• If you are hop­ing for a quiet cup of cof­fee and con­ver­sa­tion you might want to check the cal­en­dar first to make sure you won’t be sur­rounded by a loud event.
• If you plan to attend a Mr. Don show you might want to arrive early.
• Brunwick may be a sleepy lit­tle town, but there’s lots of other cool stuff near by: train tracks, train museum (very lim­ited hours), Book Crossing (locally owned inde­pen­dent book store), Potomac River access, very well fenced play­ground just across the river in Lovettsville and more.
