Baltimore, Maryland
Café-bookstore in Charles Village powered by a queer, worker-owned roaster
Cafe and bookstore collaboration between Artifact Coffee and The Ivy Bookshop in Charles Village, near the Johns Hopkins campus. The space pairs a curated book selection — fiction, poetry, nonfiction, local gifts — with coffee roasted by Thread Coffee, a queer, worker-owned Baltimore roaster. The menu runs from morning pastries and toasts through sandwiches and tamales, with beer, cider, and wine available during extended evening hours Wednesday through Saturday. Author readings, poetry series, and board game nights fill the calendar. Listed in Visit Baltimore's LGBTQ+ guide and Autostraddle's queer city guide, Bird in Hand draws a mixed crowd of students, young professionals, and neighborhood regulars.
