Taki's Carryout in Baltimore: Quick Greek Breakfast at Fells Point Prices

Taki's Carryout is a small Greek breakfast counter in Fells Point that serves omelets, sandwiches, and coffee to people eating standing up or taking food to go, with no seating inside. It occupies a narrow storefront on the block between the Fells Point waterfront and Broadway, operating as a neighborhood workday fixture rather than a destination for lingering over brunch.

What Taki's actually is

The business runs as a made-to-order breakfast window with a Greek-inflected menu. Omelets come with your choice of fillings (feta, spinach, tomato, onion, peppers) and arrive folded on a plate or wrapped in pita. The kitchen also turns out breakfast sandwiches, pastries, and coffee. The space itself is utilitarian: stainless steel counter, a few overhead menu boards, and a window for ordering and pickup. Most customers eat elsewhere or eat standing at the counter for two minutes before heading to work or the water.

Menu and pricing

An omelet runs $7 to $9 depending on fillings. Breakfast sandwiches, which typically layer egg, cheese, and meat on pita or a roll, cost $6 to $8. Pastries (spinach pie, cheese pie, croissants) fall in the $3 to $5 range. Coffee is $2.50 for a regular cup or $3.50 for a larger size. Prices are stable and have not fluctuated sharply in recent years; call ahead at (410) 558-9600 to confirm current rates if you are planning a group order.

Taki's does not serve lunch items or coffee drinks (lattes, cappuccinos); expect straight coffee or tea only.

How it compares to other Baltimore breakfast options

Taki's operates in a different league than Birch & Barley or Artifact Coffee, which offer specialty espresso drinks, pastries from named bakers, and seated dining in showcase spaces. It also differs from full-service breakfast restaurants like The Tilted Row or Artifact Events, which serve cooked-to-order plates and allow customers to linger over multiple courses.

Instead, Taki's competes more directly with quick breakfast counters elsewhere in Fells Point and Canton. Compared to chain bagel shops, it offers fresher omelets and Greek-specific flavors. Compared to diners like Double T (in other neighborhoods), it is faster and cheaper but with no booth seating or full menu depth. For someone who wants a $7 omelet in under five minutes without sitting down, Taki's has no local peer. For someone who wants a $18 avocado toast and an oat-milk latte in a photogenic space, this is not the place.

Who it suits and who it does not

Taki's is built for Fells Point residents grabbing breakfast before work, cyclists or joggers stopping on a morning run, and people who want breakfast food made fresh without paying brunch markup. Anyone ordering here expects to eat immediately or carry food away. It suits people who value speed and straightforwardness over ambiance.

It does not suit groups larger than three or four, since there is no seating and coordination becomes awkward. It does not work for people who need to sit and work on a laptop or meet a friend for an hour. It does not serve dietary extremes like fully vegan or keto menus, though omelets can be customized with vegetable fillings. It does not have parking of its own, so anyone arriving by car must find street parking on the surrounding blocks.

What the first visit involves

Walk in and read the menu boards above the counter. Order at the window by specifying your omelet fillings or sandwich choice. Pay immediately. Wait 5 to 10 minutes while the kitchen cooks. Retrieve your order at the pickup window, add napkins or hot sauce if offered, and either eat standing at the counter facing Broadway or take the food with you. The staff expects you to move; there is no lingering culture and no table service.

Hours, parking, and logistics

Taki's is open Monday through Friday, 6 a.m. to 2 p.m., and Saturday and Sunday 8 a.m. to 2 p.m.; call to confirm these hours, as they can shift with staffing. It is closed on major holidays. There is no dedicated parking. The storefront is a two-minute walk from the Fells Point intersection of Broadway and Aliceanna, near the cluster of bars and water-view restaurants. Public street parking is available on Aliceanna and the surrounding blocks but fills quickly on weekends.

Taki's has operated in the same location for decades and remains one of the few places in Fells Point where you can eat well without spending $25 or sitting for 90 minutes.
