Diners near Hopkins' Homewood campus
Looking for a place to grab a quick and inexpensive breakfast near JHU. Looking for a coffee shop/diner type place in which you can order eggs and the waitress keeps pouring the coffee. Easy parking is a must too. Any ideas? Thanks.

They weren't there in the 80s and early 90s so why return. 
Thanks for the link. I've seen lists too but I was hoping for some insider information about the ones near Hopkins (Roland Park, Charles Village) that has ample parking. Papermoon looks to be in Remington, not a place I'd want to leave our car unless there were a parking lot. Charles Village has limited parking from what I remember.
Papermoon is a bit pricey too. When my local coffee shop here in Manhattan can offer 2 eggs, toast, and hashbrowns for $4.95, why is one in BALTIMORE more expensive?

Petes Grille is a short stroll away. 31st and Greenmount. It can be kind of a sketchy neighborhood but it's a great breakfast joint. Michael Phelps eats there (or at least he used to). On Saturdays there is a great farmers market nearby. Normals books and records is nearby. Skip Paper Moon. That place peaked in the 90s.

What we wanted was a place for breakfast. Miss Shirley's certainly wasn't a coffee shop but it did serve breakfast and it was close to our hotel. It was outstanding. So we had brunch on Sunday and then headed back to Manhattan.
