Changes At Annapolis Mall

L'Antico is one of several new eateries coming to the Annapolis mall.

Miller's Ale House will soon open a bar and restaurant in the parking lot outside The Cheesecake Factory. The team behind InGrano will launch a new cafe next to Build-A-Bear Workshop.

The Original Pancake House will debut across from the California Pizza Kitchen. And Lasang Pinoy will open a Filipino restaurant across from Chipotle.

Jongro KBBQ is putting the finishing touches on a Korean barbecue restaurant. Seoul Blues Coffee & Dessert is also building out its space. Both eateries are slated to open soon outside the mall's food court entrance.

Capital Teas also returned to the mall in November 2022, opening up near JCPenney.

On the other hand, the mall has undergone some turnover in the past few months.

Nando's PERi-PERi, bareMinerals and BrookieGirl Bath + Body Care all shuttered their Annapolis locations around the New Year.

Squishable, a stuffed animal store, will soon fill the vacancy left by BrookieGirl. The business will be sandwiched between Soft Surroundings and Chocolate Moonshine.
