Clock Tower Coffee and Bakery 7005 Banbury Drive, Hanover, MD 21076

"Tucked back in quieter area, this cute cafe features a limited but well chosen menu of sandwiches, coffee drinks, and bakery items. It also has a small selection of other packaged foods and bottled drinks in coolers in the back corner. There's even a small selection of delectable looking cakes at the end of the counter, adjacent to the seating area. There is outdoor seating available. I highly recommend the bacon breakfast sandwich where they do not skimp on the meat. It was super tasty!"

"I heard about this newer coffee shop from a friend and wanted to support a small business. The food was reasonably priced and was good. I had the vegetable breakfast sandwich and bacon breakfast sandwich which I would absolutely get again. I did leave with a couple suggestions for them though. If the vegetable breakfast sandwich bread could either be toasted or panini pressed, it would make that sandwich even better! I also noticed the milk was not heated enough for the two latte drinks I ordered. They were decent tasting though so if the temperature could be hotter instead of closer to warm, it would be perfect (That could just be my personal preference though). I did give this feedback to the barista who was very appreciative of the honest feedback. The drip coffee was from the local Ceremony roasters, and the light roast I ordered was so good! I would recommend visiting this coffee shop as they have ample sitting space inside and outside and plenty of table space for anyone who wants to get work done/study here."

"The lady and gentlemen, working behind the bar, were very sociable and an absolute pleasure to talk with. I got a shaken espresso with oat milk and gingerbread syrup, which is absolutely delightful. So much so, I went back and got another one. They carry Ceremony coffee (beans and instant), Atwater’s Jams, and some other wonderful artisan products. I definitely love the new atmosphere and lounge space of this coffee shop. To the owners, I would highly request lavender syrup. We agreed it would pair nicely for a shaken Matcha iced latte. (Cough, Hint) While, I don’t live in the immediate vicinity, I do appreciate the availability of select grocery and HBC items for their customers. There is limited parking, which includes a number of accessible spots, however, there is open public parking in the neighboring community if the lot is full."

"The coffee was good, but the baked items and breakfast sandwiches are DELICIOUS. 100% worth coming here just for the bakery. Big, huge pastries, buttery croissants, donuts... everything looks incredible and tastes amazing. I had a turkey bacon croissant breakfast sandwich and it was so yummy. I think if they could up the coziness/atmosphere factor inside a little more it would be 10/10. Maybe the convenience store looking area could be used as a cozy study or work space instead? It feels a little out of place ATM."

"Very bright and tastefully decorated. The matcha latte is very strong and the pumpkin spice latte will bring me back very soon. Friendly staff that was patient with my teenager's ordering."
