Come dine at the most unique restaurant in Baltimore. Ze Mean Bean Café is an eclectic Eastern European restaurant and wine bar. We serve everything from pierogis and holupkis to upscale fare with a Slavic twist. Everything is made from scratch and our extensive wine list has something for everyone.
As our name suggests, we opened our doors in July of 1995 as a unique Eastern European Coffeehouse and Café. Ahh… yes, that’s where the “Bean” in Ze Mean Bean comes from! And the “Ze”? That denotes our “European” roots. The original concept was simple: owner Yvonne Dornic is of Eastern European decent. Her father is from Czechoslovakia, and her mother’s background is Polish and Ukrainian. Yvonne wanted to create an environment much like the coffeehouses of Eastern Europe, which served as social gathering places and outlets for local musicians and artists. Ze Mean Bean Café definitely exudes old world charm!

As a Ukrainian American in Baltimore, I remember how happy I was when I first heard about Ze Mean Bean when it first opened it's doors! Since, I have been back many times and look forward to each and every visit! The decor is very comfortable. A rustic twist with wooden chairs and definitely an "old country" feel.. love it! The food is beyond fantastic. Pieorgies (or Pyrohy, as my family and I call them) are the greatest in Baltimore here! I especially like the different types of pieorgies that are offered here.. even crab and meat peirogies! The beer list is also wonderful! I cannot go many places and find my favorite Ukrainian Beer, Obolon. There is also a very wide array of other Easter European and general International beers, wines and cocktails. If you are looking for a unique, fun and delciious Baltimore experience, visit Ze Mean Bean! You will be very glad that you did! :)
