Welcome to Main Ingredient Café, a distinctive neighborhood restaurant where you enjoy time with friends or a break from the office in our casually elegant dining room. We feature uncommonly fresh fare sourced from local gardens and waters, making our café the perfect place to visit as a regular breakfast guest, or, as a special occasion favorite.

Join us for breakfast, lunch or dinner, seven days each week and try one of our signature dishes, such as our popular Craisin Chicken Salad or Herb Crusted Salmon. We promise you’ll find something on the menu for every palate, and we invite you to discover the best Annapolis has to offer.
