Aveley Farms Coffee Roasters and Diamondback Brewing Company Open a 4,800-Square-Foot “All Day, All Night” Concept in Baltimore County

Baltimore, MD (October 18, 2024) - Two local craft beverage forces have joined together to open a concept new to the Baltimore area - combining coffee, beer, and pizza in an all day offering; Aveley Farms Coffee Roasters and Diamondback Brewing Company opened their doors in October on a combined roastery + cafe by Aveley and brewery, taproom, + pizza kitchen by Diamondback at 9490 Deereco Road in Timonium, MD. The “all day and all night” concept represents an expansion for both businesses, who have deep roots in the Baltimore area. Aveley currently has a cafe 42 W Chesapeake Ave. in Towson that they will continue to operate in addition to this new foray, while Diamondback’s existing brewery, taproom, and pizza kitchen at 1215 E Fort Ave. in Locust Point in Baltimore City will also remain open.

The hours for Aveley and Diamondback’s location at 9490 Deereco Road are:

• Aveley - Mon-Fri: 7-4pm, Sat-Sun: 8-4pm
• Diamondback - Mon: Closed, Tue-Thu: 2-9pm, Fri: 2-10pm, Sat: 12-10pm, Sun: 12-8pm

The new concept in Timonium was born out of both businesses' need for expanded production space and desire to serve a Baltimore County audience and is also a return to the business owners’ roots in the area. Aveley Farms founder Corey Voelkel has known the Diamondback ownership team of Tom Foster, Colin Marshall, and Francis Smith as friends and classmates where they attended Loyola Blakefield for high school. 

The 4,800-square-foot location on Deereco Road features a coffee bar, wraparound beer bar with a 10-tap system, and booth, table, and high top seating indoors. Aveley has all roasting and green coffee operations out of this space, while Diamondback will add a 3.5-barrel brew system for lagers and experimental brews that will only be available at their Baltimore County location. The new location boasts a large outdoor patio with many seating options that are connected to the interior space by roll-up garage doors, creating a nice indoor-outdoor flow. The architect for the space was Innovative AEC Concepts.

“Getting this location open is a big deal for both of our businesses as we expand our manufacturing and retail footprints; we’re excited to serve many new and repeat Baltimore County customers here on Deereco,” said Aveley Farms owner Corey Voelkel. His business was founded in Harbor East in 2019 and relocated to their Towson cafe in 2022. Aveley focuses on sustainably sourced, high quality coffees from around the world and locally roasts them to serve in their cafe and wholesale accounts throughout Maryland. Aveley Farms will move their roasting operations to the new location and offer a full espresso bar, drip coffees, cold brew and more, as well as their breakfast menu including pastries, toast, and breakfast burritos.

“For our business, this opening represents a more than three-year search for a second location in Baltimore County, and teaming up with Corey and Aveley is an added bonus; we’re excited to be a part of the community up here,” said Diamondback Brewing Co. co-founder Tom Foster. Diamondback was founded as a contract brewing operation in 2014 by Tom Foster, Colin Marshall, and Francis Smith; they opened their Locust Point brewery and taproom at McHenry Row in 2016, and added a pizza kitchen in 2020. They now produce 1,500 barrels a year and have distribution across Maryland and Washington D.C. At the new concept, they will add a smaller brew system to produce experimental/small batch and barrel aged offerings, and will feature 10 rotating draft beers, beer to-go, and a full pizza menu similar to the one at their Locust Point location.
