For those who can't compromise on their morning cup of coffee but who also want to support local businesses, Chesapeake Bay Coffee Co. is the perfect option within a stone's throw of Stonegate. The quaint, sun-drenched coffeehouse is locally owned and operated, and the staff behind the counter is serious about good java.

That's why they go the extra mile and actually roast their own beans in house at the Chesapeake Bay Coffee Co. So if your cup of joe or specialty espresso drink tastes extra-fresh, that's probably because it is. In addition to the java, the baristas also dole out cups of specialty teas that will warm you right up on a blustery winter's day. Pair your cup of coffee or tea with a freshly baked pastry for the full Chesapeake Bay Coffee Co. experience at this beloved little coffee shop.
