My wife, son and I were traveling through the area on our way back home to Michigan, and stopped in Cumberland to stretch our legs and explore. We hit the “old downtown” area and noticed this little cafe called “Cafe Mark”. We were so glad we did. The staff was very friendly, the food was really really good. The place was fairly busy, so we expected to wait for our food (~20min), but it was worth it. The cafe is very nostalgic with the beauty of older architectural features lingering along with new vibe. The food was not cheap, but the quantities were plentiful and very delicious. Well done Cafe Mark! Splendid indeed!

Thank you so much! Your review makes us very happy! Hopefully, you can stop and see us again when our downtown is redone to allow traffic, highlight our beautiful architecture and bring us into the current era. (12-18 months from now) We're very excited for this change! It will be beautiful! Hope to see you again!

We stopped for breakfast on our way home from Deep Creek Lake, and we are so glad we did!! All four of us thoroughly enjoyed our breakfast, which included the breakfast burrito, bagel sandwich, pancakes, and blueberry French toast. The staff was friendly and the service was speedy despite it being a fairly busy Sunday morning. The space is charming and cozy. We would absolutely return and would recommend Cafe Mark to anyone visiting or passing through Cumberland.

This cafe definitely rates a 5/5. Between the food quality, the coffee/tea selection, and the atmosphere, this cafe excelled in all areas. The cafe also has small, multiple ounce sized containers of their different loose leaf teas for purchase, as well as other merch. We dined for brunch on a Sunday; as expected, there was quite a queue of people to place your order, but it was worth the wait.

We went for a quick bite which ended up being not so quick. It took 45 minutes to receive food, which would have been okay had we not been somehow de-prioritized. Everyone around us came in after we had already ordered, ate their food, talked and left.
I don’t really understand why it took so long. We ordered pretty simple items - home fries (premade), soup (premade), bagel (obviously, premade), a grilled cheese and a Mediterranean wrap. Nothing extraordinary and should have taken 10 minutes. Instead, it was at least 45 minutes until we got our food.
I spoke with the manager to provide feedback on how we felt it was unfair to us with two little kids who were obviously tired of waiting whole multiple couples with no kids and no obvious rush were served food first. He was nice and apologized, said he would see how to compensate is for our experience. We never saw the guy again and there wasn’t any kind of adjustment made to our bill. Another disappointment. We didn’t really want an adjustment, but if you mention it to your guests, at least follow through.
The food was great and they did have entertainment for the kids on the second floor.
We are in Cumberland yearly to take the train to Frostburg and back. This will not be our choice for obvious reasons the next time we are there.

I really enjoy this place but the light fixtures need some serious cleaning. I notice the light fixtures above the grill had lots of yucky stuff hanging off of them and could easily fall into the food. This goes for all of their light fixtures.

We had a delicious lunch. We ordered at the counter and the staff brought our lunch to our table. The Mediterranean wrap very fresh and delicious. I loved the grilled vegetables as a side. The iced tea was fresh brewed. My mom and I enjoyed the large and airy seating space with lots of seating options.

We were looking for lunch in Cumberland and Cafe Mark stuck out immediately to us. They have a great location right in town, the atmosphere inside is large and welcoming, and the menu is wonderful offering something for everyone. We each got a sandwich, a side, and a drink and loved everything we ordered.
I couldn't recommend Cafe Mark more highly and we definitely will stop again when in Cumberland.

My husband, son and granddaughter went to Cafe Mark and really enjoyed everything about. From the friendly staff to the decor. The food was delicious and the wait staff was very attentive even though they had a limited menu because of the chef not being there. They worked hard to make sure everything ran smoothly and it did. We will be back

Stopped in for breakfast. My daughter had a vegetarian breakfast burrito and I had a standard breakfast burrito. Came out hot and with chipotle sauce on your plate, several thin dots for the sauce. Needed more sauce and didn’t have sour cream as my daughter asked for it. I had white peppermint mocha cappuccino and my daughter had standard peppermint mocha. Mine was much better, a delicious cappuccino. Would go backs, then,ages of food served looked delicious.

The coffee is average... sometimes not even hot. On the bitter side. Once we came in after a party of 8 or so ordered coffee so I guess it really threw them. It took over 45 minutes to get a bowl of crab soup (which I watched them pour from a pitcher and microwave). They have great food but the service is very dodgy.

While on a recent girl's weekend, we had breakfast here twice. One orders at the counter and then the food is delivered to your table. The food is also visibly prepared so you can watch the cook do their activity if you'd like. The menu has so many good choices and some unique to them. I tried the Breakfast Reuben and The Breakfast Sandwich. Both delicious and priced accordingly. Full coffee bar for lattes, tea and smoothies available. I highly recommend this cute cafe.

A cute little cafe on a pedestrian street in the historic center of town. We had a Bronx Bagel and Turkey Tornado. I was surprised at how delicious they both were. The corned beef on the bagel was deli quality. And, the Turkey sandwich was incredibly tasty. We will certainly stop here next time in Cumberland.

I don’t know if I reviewed this place a few years ago, but if so, I’m going to do it again. Every once in a while, my wife & I drive to Cumberland to ride our bikes along the C&O Canal bike path. For breakfast we like to go to the Cafe Mark on Baltimore Street. This street is a pedestrian-only street that ha various restaurants & shops along the way. cafe Mark makes great breakfasts! They also do sandwiches and wraps. However, we always seem to be there for breakfast. They make great omelets, French toast and pancakes. The coffee is smooth and mellow. Also, the atmosphere is homey and welcoming. They make a breakfast just as I would if I were back home. There’s not much more than I can say, this place is great!

Great little lunch and breakfast spot. I have the excellent breakfast burrito and my friend had an omelet. Both were very good. Nice ambience (we ate upstairs) and a friendly staff. A nearby retailer told us it was the ‘best place to eat in town’ and I agree.
