About Us

Locally Owned. Community-Focused. Rooted in Craft.

Welcome to The Reister’s Daughter, a family-owned coffee and tea shop proudly operated by local Reisterstown residents. Located in the historic Beckley House, our café is a reflection of everything we value: quality, hospitality, and a connection to this community we call home.

We opened with the intention of creating a warm and welcoming space; one that honors local history while offering exceptional coffee, tea and house-made baked goods. Whether you’re popping in for a morning pick-me-up or sitting in with friends for a cozy afternoon, we hope you feel part of something familiar and meaningful.

Thoughtfully Sourced Coffee

We proudly brew Ceremony Coffee Roasters, a fellow Maryland-based company known for ethically sourced, small-batch beans. Every drink — from drip coffee to latte — is made to bring out the best in the coffee and to savor the moment. Our baristas are trained to approach every cup with the same care and detail Ceremony puts into their roasting.

A Passion for Tea

Tea is more than an offering here — it’s part of our foundation. Co-owner Kelsey, a trained tea specialist, studied under a Chinese tea master in New York and worked in a traditional Japanese tea shop before bringing her passion to Reisterstown.

We create our own house-made loose leaf tea blends, available by the cup in the shop or packaged for you to enjoy at home. Our curated tea menu includes herbal, green, white, black, and seasonal blends — all crafted with an emphasis on quality and flavor.

Our Home in History

The Beckley House, built in 1779, is one of Reisterstown’s oldest surviving structures in the town. Inside, you’ll find a blend of past and present: exposed wooden beams, original brick walls, and a front bar repurposed from the wood paneling once used when the building was The Ski Shop.

It’s a cozy, character-filled space that honors the past while welcoming today’s conversations and connections.

Part of the Neighborhood

We love being located in the heart of Reisterstown’s Main Street — and we’re proud to support and highlight other local favorites. In the summer, grab your drink and head across the street to The Cow for some  ice cream, or relax in Reister’s Desire Park just behind our shop, with peaceful seating connected to our parking lot.

Our café is a place to unwind, catch up, or simply enjoy the rhythm of your day.

Always Something Brewing

From high tea events and specialty lattes to limited-release tea blends and locally curated goods, we’re always looking for ways to connect and create. Follow us on social or check in at the shop to see what’s new, what’s steeping, or what’s baking!

We’re Glad You’re Here

Whether you’re joining us for your first visit or your hundredth, thank you for supporting a truly local, family-run shop. We love this town and we’re honored to be part of its story, one cup at a time.
