Baltimore caffeine fiends will have a new spot to grab a cup of coffee near the Inner Harbor next year.
OneDo Coffee Roasters is set to open a new location in Rash Field Park in spring 2025.
Serving up coffees, teas, sandwiches, and salads in Canton since 2019, the neighborhood favorite will expand to the Pavilion space at Rash Field.
The Pavilion has remained largely unoccupied since the park opened in 2021, with the exception of Made in Baltimore’s Home Run Accelerator Pop-up event hosted by the Baltimore Development Corporation.
“We’re overjoyed to be opening our new location in the Rash Field Park café space,” said OneDo Coffee Roasters owner Gloria Hwang in a statement. “We believe that the park’s vibrant atmosphere, and our dedication to quality coffee and customer service will create a perfect match. We look forward to becoming a part of this dynamic community space.”
The BDC and Baltimore City Recreation and Parks supported the selection of OneDo Coffee Roasters to fill the Pavilion based on the business’s “appropriate menu, solid business plan, sufficient capital, and keen understanding of what’s needed to succeed in this space,” reads a news release.
“We are proud to welcome OneDo Coffee Roasters to Rash Field, a valuable amenity addition that will undoubtedly enhance the park experience for local families and visitors alike,” said Dan Taylor, Managing Director of Business and Neighborhood Development at the BDC, in a statement. “This partnership highlights BDC’s continued role in the Inner Harbor’s evolution, our commitment to the ongoing development and revitalization of Rash Field Park, and our unwavering support for local minority-owned businesses.”
Like its Canton cafe, the new OneDo Coffee Roasters location in the park will offer coffees using beans they have roasted themselves, as well as teas, sandwiches, and salads.
The Rash Field cafe will provide “Baltimore residents and visitors with high-quality beverages in a picturesque waterfront setting,” reads the news release.
“We’re thrilled to partner with OneDo to provide a great café experience on the waterfront,” said Waterfront Partnership of Baltimore President Laurie Schwartz in a statement. “With the significant increase in Rash Field Park’s daily visitors, this partnership is essential in enriching the waterfront experience for everyone who comes to enjoy this community space.”
The second and final phase of redevelopment at Rash Field Park is slated to begin construction later this year. That phase will include recreation, wellness, and leisure elements, such as a lawn for games and events, gardens, a beach, and walking paths.
Changes already made during phase one include children’s play areas, native wildlife gardens, and Jake’s Skate Park.
While waiting for OneDo Coffee Roasters to open its Rash Field Park location next spring, patrons can visit their Canton cafe at 913 S. Lakewood Ave.
