About Kahlert Cafe

Kahlert Cafe is Sparks MD’s inclusive cafe with a purpose — a vibrant, community-centered breakfast and lunch spot inside Richcroft’s Farm-to-Able Enterprise at 53 Loveton Circle. Every meal you enjoy here directly supports real-world job training and independence for adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities.

Tucked away in an office park just off York Road is a wonderful hidden gem — Kahlert Cafe! Just opened summer of 2026, this welcoming little spot in Baltimore County’s Hereford Zone serves up a menu filled with fresh breakfast and lunch specials. A farm-to-table enterprise by Richcroft, Inc. designed to provide meaningful employment and training for adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities. There’s something especially wonderful about enjoying a great meal while supporting a place with such a positive purpose. The food is fresh, the atmosphere is warm and inviting, and the people behind it make the experience even better. If you’re in the Hereford area, seek this place out! More than a cafe — it’s a great addition to the community and absolutely worth supporting. ❤️ P.S - The Cheesesteak Sandwich was delish! I hear the turkey avocado is outstanding, next on my list!

I dropped by for lunch while in the area, as I wanted to check out this new spot with an intriguing story. I enjoyed a creative ham and brie sandwich which was dressed with apple slices, arugula, and a tangy honey mustard. The bread was lovely also. I selected potato salad as my side. It was one of the best I've had. I added a mango lemonade which was a real treat as I normally drink water with meals. The prices for sandwiches are quite reasonable. The tiny desserts looked like candy and were tempting. The cafe is non-tipping but donations to the non-profit sponsor, Richcroft, are gratefully accepted. The cafe is staffed by Richcroft's special needs clients. Payment is via cards as cash is not accepted. They serve coffee and breakfast breads as well and appear to be quickly becoming a favorite coffee and lunch spot for neighboring businesses. The cafe has one small interior table and two outside. There was a brisk takeout trade as I enjoyed my meal. Next time I may grab a quick picnic lunch and enjoy eating al fresco along the Gunpowder on my way home. The Kahlert Cafe is a great addition to lunch spots in the Hunt Valley, Sparks, and Hereford areas.
