Shop Made in MD

Part gift shop, part cafe, and part creative space, Shop Made in MD fills its shelves with handmade goods from local artisans — plates and bowls, notebooks, stickers, and more — while a bar in the back pours phenomenal coffee and local craft beer. The space is bright and roomy, with markers at the tables and an easygoing vibe that invites you to settle in with a latte and a craft of your own. Reviewers note the selection is vast and the artisan work can run on the pricier side, though small items like stickers make for easy finds.

Friendly, engaging staff and a steady lineup of workshops and events — like watercolor painting sessions — make this a favorite for UMD visitors, students, crafters, and creatives alike. Whether you come to shop local, sip a great drink, or spend an afternoon making something, it's a place that rewards lingering. Locals are clearly rooting for it as it settles into the neighborhood.
