46 Best Cafes near Derwood

“I love this place! They have really good food and every time I go there Anthony, Jesse and Zach give us great service. They are attentive and their energy is always on point! I recommend this place if you’re looking to have some good food, good drinks and good vibes!“

“This is my favorite kind of local restaurant: extremely delicious and unique menu combined with a warm and friendly atmosphere. The pan de waffle with berries & arequipe (a caramel sauce) is easily the best waffles I've ever eaten, ever. Also love the beef empanadas. The crust is perfectly flaky.I like the espresso drinks, too. The coffee is bright and sweet.“

“What a lovely spot! I tried the strawberry rose drink, butterfly pea lemonade, banana and egg roti, crab and cheese roti, and I stole a bite of my table-mate's chicken croissant. What worked: -- I really enjoyed both the strawberry rose drink and the butterfly pea lemonade (lemonade was my favorite, though) -- the crab and cheese roti feels like it shouldn't work and yet, it does. It was a little sweet, very savory, and came with a side of salad which helped brighten the plate -- the banana and egg roti also feels like it shouldn't work but it was great! It was like a sweet crepe without all the extra sugar -- great service! They were very kind -- it's a really cute spot. It has the cozy cafe feel while also serving meal-sized portions of food What didn't work: -- it would be nice if they expanded their savory options, especially if they included more veggie based things. Other than that, no complaints! I'd love to come again!“

“This is a family run business with all organic foods. The daughter makes wonderful desserts. Everyone is friendly and very attentive. You can have breakfast or dinner at anytime of day! They offer weekend specials that are always delicious! They run a small place with a big heart.“

“Carmen's Best shaved Ice I ever Had In my life I say this because It was just so soft and smooth. The service was Really good The co workers were very patience with me I was so Indecisive Cause they have so much flavors. I love how they let me pick 2 flavors with no charge too I wish it was closer to Frederick. I think Carmen's Italian ice is way better then Rita's to be honest.“

“They cashier is nice the ambiance is great with incense that levitates the room. The barista actually knows how to steam the milk and pull wonderful shots. Support small businesses like this. There is wifi and music playing in the background. Try the Fatira with everything (vegetarian friendly)“

“Literally my favorite restaurant in the world. I have been going there since they were in their previous location in College Park, and the food has been consistently amazing for these last 20ish years. Their menu offers extensive options for omnivores, pescatarians, vegetarians, and vegans alike, with the flexibility of omitting fish sauce from their Burmese dressing. If you like bitter, complex flavors, you HAVE to try their green tea leaf salad.“

“It’s a cute, little bakery run by some lovely, wonderful people.I’m a pretty big guy who used to be overweight. My love for sugar is still very much present lol. That said, whenever I eat anything from here, I don’t feel that “guilt” or “shame” you feel when you prick up a candy bar.Everything that I’ve tried here is the perfect amount of sweet. Not too much, not too little. It will satisfy your sweet tooth without making your doctor cry at the amount of sugar you just ingested.It’s also very filling. I can easily eat 2-3 donuts from a donut shop. Meanwhile, I’ll be 3/4 of the way thru a pastry from this bakery and I’ll struggle to eat the rest. I want to eat the rest because they’re VERY delicious but it’s more than meets the eye.Also extremely well priced. The average for a single pastry or slice of cake seems to be right below $4 I think. Might be slightly off but the point is I didn’t feel like I was spending a lot. Again, for something that will fill a grown man up without being half your daily amount of calories in a single serving like some of these other sweets, this place is near impossible to beat.I love this place“

“This is a hidden gem located in an office building on Research Blvd in Rockville. Breakfast dishes, (all day) pancakes,French toast, eggs) were great. Want to return to try sandwiches and Latin dishes. Reasonable prices and nice to support pleasant appreciative people.“

“One of the few restaurants that has stood the test of time. Tasty gluten free food in an unpretentious atmosphere. If you get the lunch special it's pretty good value. With it being a beer and wine store as well, the drink prices and options are above average.If you are gluten free this is a gem. If you aren't, it's definitely worth a try. The gelato is good too.“

“The staff was very friendly. I felt welcome from the moment I walked in. They have an assortment of baked goods and other food. I had the overnight oats, which were pretty good. I also had a coffee, but I didn't love the flavour. I think it might be a matter of taste. I think this place is worth a try!“

“My partner and I work occasionally at Imagination Stage. This place is perfectly situated just off the main part of busy downtown Bethesda. Very accessible, quick, clean service. I've been to plenty of places in the DMV which claim this "New York" aesthetic and this is the best I've been to so far. The staff is incredibly friendly and always attentive. My partner has made friends with the girl who works the register. I'm sure she does so much for the establishment and it makes the place a comfort to spend some time in. Their selection of drinks and food and other confectionery is really good considering their smaller size. I hope this place keeps going strong because they are always a happy part of my time in Bethesda.“

“We’ve been going to this place at least 2x a week. Is been one of our favorite bubble tea place. We love all of their drinks especially their strawberry lemonade and rose milk tea. Their popcorn chicken is amazing. I am also grateful for their wonderful service. They always have a kind smile whenever I go. I am wishing them lots of success so I can always go get my strawberry bubble tea with strawberry boba“

“This is an Asian bakery and not European Style. That means much less sugar, very unique flavors, lighter and more flavorful. My daughter and I love the Soufflé and we call in advance. I love the artichoke and spinach, egg tart, and pork and onion bun. If you're open minded and want to try something different, then this is an excellent place. If you want fried sugar or baked butter/sugar then maybe try something else.“

“Food was very nutritious and delicious! Many food & drinks options, from healthy boosts to yummy cocktails. Nathalia our server was fast and attentive. Good brunch experience would definitely come again. I would recommend joining the waiting list on line or making reservations if possible because it does get busy.“

“Coffee Republic is my favorite coffee spot in Rockville! The staff is always friendly and welcoming, and it's a comfortable place to enjoy a great coffee drink and delicious pastry or breakfast sandwich. I no longer live in MoCo, but I still try to come by often, especially to try one of their special seasonal coffee drinks!“

“The lady at the register is the friendliest, most cheerful person you will ever meet. She is always happy and smiling, an absolute pleasure. Food is always great. My favorites are the philly, chicken philly, burger, reuben, and triple decker turkey club. The fries are great as well. This is a great little spot and the smiling service makes it even better!“

“Overall a positive experience. I enjoyed the tuna nicoise crepe, but my friend didn't really like the avocado treat crepe she got, due to the fact that despite being a savory crepe option, it seemed like the crepe itself was still sweetened. My friend didn't expect her savory crepe to have a sweet undertone, and so it didn't match her preference. I have a sweet tooth, so I didn't mind the slight sweetness alongside the sour/salty taste of the tuna in my crepe.I wonder if there's an option to request that no sugar be added to a savory crepe. If you're sensitive to sugar or don't like a mixture of sweet and savory flavors, you might want to ask about that before ordering.“

“Small on the side of the building… almost pop-up like- simple menu with great quality. I ordered a vanilla latte and got a bag of beans~ super quick in and out for a Saturday morning… highly recc to pick up some beans while you’re there. They answered my questions very well and knowledgeable.“

“My husband and I love getting ice cream at Kyoto Matcha. I love the atmosphere and the vibe. We almost always get awesome service. The only reason I’m giving 4 stars instead of 5 is because one time we ordered a slice of cake to go and we were given a frozen slice. Normally we are asked when we are going to eat it. I asked if we could get a slice that isn’t frozen and the woman helping us didn’t have the best attitude about it. Misunderstandings happen but I don’t think it was handled well that time. The last couple times we’ve come for ice cream have been pleasant. Overall it’s a great place and I’d say one of the best.“

“Went in today to have some breakfast and ordered the Tapsilog (tapa/garlic fried rice/egg), I also got a Turon (plantain/jackfruit wrapped in an egg roll wrapper and fried with brown sugar) with Ginger tea. The food came out at a reasonable time. The tapa is cooked the way I like it, on the dry side. It wasn't too salty or sweet and the seasoned vinegar gave it an extra layer of flavor. The garlic fried rice wasn't too oily. The turon has this amazing crunch even if it was room temp! Filo cafe also has other sweets that they have for sale and other specials. I will have to come back to try the other items on the menu.“

“Something about this small cafe feels right. It's comfy and cozy. The service is straightforward and welcoming without being solicitous or phoney. The caramel machiato was good. Balanced. My veggie dumplings were fresh tasting and yummy. I will probably be back soon to read and of course, drink coffee. I love all the books and laid back vibes. Good experience.“

“I recently went to Scratch Kitchen & Bistro in Olney MD. I got some macaroons, a steak, egg, and cheese gluten-free sandwich, and some fresh squeezed orange juice. The sandwich was amazing, even when I brought it home over half an hour later. The steak was thin cut and extremely good, totally cooked right. The farm-fresh eggs were some of the best I've had (which is saying something), and the cheddar cheese was both creamy and hardy, an excellent balance for cheddar. The macaroons were so good and well balanced between sweetness and savory. They were also perfectly fluffed. Fresh squeezed and nothing added, the orange juice was a little pulpy but beyond amazing. It tasted better than blood orange juice I've made at home. definitely the best orange juice I've ever had. Seriously, this place was super epic, and the atmosphere was really nice too. It's a small, cozy little shop that's perfect for a Sunday brunch with grandma and the kids. If it weren't for the fact I lived so far away from it, I would eat there every week, probably more. Seriously, if you want delicious food, friendly staff, and a pleasant experience, go to Scratch Kitchen & Bistro.“

“i ordered a lychee black tea, which, at lower sweetness, had the perfect amount of sugar. the boba also tasted fresh, which is rare in the bigger chains in the area. service was also super quick--on the pricier side for boba but definitely recommend!“

“not much of a food selection on the Sunday morning I went around 9am. A few pastries, no hot brkfst sandwiches that I could see. Asked for a large cappuccino and the person behind the counter simply said "no". I just stared at her a few seconds not knowing what to say and she finally clarified they only have cappuccino in small. so I ordered a small and moved on. Can't say I'll necessarily go back even though I'm there every week for a group meet. Probably will get my coffee elsewhere nearby.“

“I love that this cafe is in the library! It's so nice and full of life in this intimate space. The staff is amazing & will take the time out to converse with you. The menu has so many wonderful items to choose from. My iced chai was spiced very well and the cheese danish was thick and tasted delicious. A must try where you can get a book, play at the gym and then stop by the cafe.“

“This is by far the BEST local coffee in the area the coffee is to die for and the Java burger is the best I ever had in my life Anita ( I think her name is) the cashier/barista is amazing her recommendations for coffee and food are excellent“

“Great little shop located in lobby area of a professional building. Shelves are stocked with many different options as well as healthy fruits and vegetables. Would recommend anyone doing business in the 8720 Office Building to check them out.“

“Ann's is a very cozy spot for breakfast and lunch items. The food is affordable and very delicious. The owners are very cute and friendly. Try their breakfast items. They have great sausage and bacon. Also thier burgers are seasoned well. Try the cheese steak too.“

“Some of the best coffee I’ve had in ages, and a good egg-and-bacon bagel. Beautiful light, bright space with big murals. Lots of outlets. Very nice folks behind the counter. Lovely place where I’d love to hang out. This is not any of our most regular routes, but we go to Frederick regularly so we can swing by, and in general we’ll make a point of stopping by whenever we can!“

“I stopped in for lunch last week and someone had recommended the Gouda burger, it was magnificent! I would definitely have it again.Today I just had the bruschetta- ok, tomato’s seemed like they were frozen and thawed vs fresh. Choices of tea bags. Nice place to enjoy a meal, tea and they have lots of wines.“

“We had placed an order for our daughter’s birthday cake for a pick up on Thursday the 11th but due to the inclement weather, we decided to move things up to Wednesday. I reached out Tuesday after hours and got a prompt reply. On Wednesday we were able to pick up the birthday girl’s cake and it was absolutely delicious. The staff were A pleasure to work with.“

“I literally love this place! Caroline is the sweetest she has amazing customer service and she always makes the best thai tea for me :)! Coming in here is always very pleasant and the service doesn’t take long at all! the portions are good and the pos system is pretty clever.“

“This is my go-to choice when having lunch with friends since we gather for conversation as well as food. The back dining room is pretty quiet even when full. The bacon cheeseburger and the turkey panini were exceptional, and our server was fantastic. We lingered for 2+ hours and never felt rushed. Parking is easy and the setting is attractive. The lunch crowd skews older together with groups of all kinds. Large roomy bar area where I noticed several people working on their computers so this may be a place to have lunch when you need to get out of the office but still do some work.“

“I came here for a treat after I got my COVID vaccine! The barista was so nice, the drink was so flavorful and cream (I got the seasonal Spring Fling), and the sandwich was tasty! Great atmosphere and very clean, which is nice during COVID :)“

“I can't believe I'm just finding out about this place. I literally work right next to it. My co worker told me about this spot and now I'm hooked. They serve breakfast and lunch and it's busy. It's busy for a reason. At first if you drive up you won't see it, there is a door in the back where you can get inside from but there is a walkway through some small bushes. Haha you can go inside the office building to get here too but the back way is easier. They have so many options to choose from. They have snacks, muffins,drinks. Sandwiches and pancakes. This is a one stop shop. I got their tuna wrap and it was good. My coworkers rave about their Ruban sandwich and go there weekly just for that. Customer service is top notch! This is one of those sneaky deli shops that you have to try out! No regret!“

“I am struggling to figure out why this place does not have a 4.5+ on yelp....a true hidden gem! We DoorDashes from the Colada Shop to try it on a whim and wow...were we taken by surprise. In my experience it's common to not get the best service through food delivery apps, so our expectations were not set high for this at all. However they blew us away! We tried... The Cuban sandwich, and it was a pretty good standard cuban! The Guava Bbq sandwich was sooo good! The guava really made the sandwich something special! The Chicken empanadas...amazing! Perfectly cooked & seasoned. The sauce they came with was the cherry on top! A Breakfast empanadas were a hit with my husband! He absolutely devoured them! The Churros were so light and fluffy! The fry was perfect! & the Tres leche was an amazing way to finish! Light and delicious!!! We will definitely be going in person! Best door dash find ever!!!!“

“I am extremely grateful for the lovely service and exceptional selection at Market on the Boulevard. The sandwiches are phenomenal (the Firehouse and Seven Locks being two of my favorites.)The family and their colleagues that run MotB are extremely professional, responsive, and greet me with enthusiasm and kindness. For years, I arrived every morning, busy and rushing my way to work, and was thankful to see the smiling faces before moving forward with my day.Ms. Donna, Ms. Kelly, Ms. Naomi, and Ms. Mariza have been a part of my local experience for three years now, and I am happy they are a part of the community!“

“It's been over a month since I was in Bethesda, MD for a work trip and I frequented this marvelous place which to this day, I dream of often! Food was of high quality. Baked goods were sublime and they consistently delivered on quality and freshness. Overall, service was good. This location was a walking distance from where I stayed and as soon as one goes in, the sight of all baked goods and even the open kitchen towards the back, just made for a happy place. Some of the faves I had were: *Smoked Salmon, Avocado & Egg Sandwich with red onion slices, capers, alfalfa sprouts, and creamy scrambled eggs served on a housemade challah roll with green herbed dressing. *Roasted Pear, Granola & Labneh served with housemade granola over labneh, and drizzled with maple syrup. * Roasted Squash & Mushroom Farro Bowl. This is served warm with roasted acorn squash, button mushrooms, and arugula tossed with parsley relish served with ricotta goat cheese mousse and a poached egg. *Potato Leek Soup served with a roll There were several other pastries I tried and even brought home with me to California which they placed in a box and they loosely put paper on top to keep the pastries from moving around the box. This kept the pastries intact and everything was devoured by the family before I could take pictures. There was a good selection of merchandise as well. Would certainly love to try and discover every item on the menu.“

“A fairly full place from the moment you arrive you must wait to be given a table, as there are many people the waiters take a while to serve I had to repeat twice for a glass of natural or hot water and when they bring the coffee they did not bring spoons so I have to wait a little the place is nice and the food is nice“

“If you work nearby and don't feel like dealing with the food court at the Mall, then this is the spot for you! I usually eat here once a week, and the sandwiches are delicious. They have all types of sandwiches, a hot bar, a salad bar, and tons of beverages. Everything you would want from a deli/cafe. More importantly, the staff is friendly and helpful. 10/10 recommend.p.s. i picked up this oat milk coffee from there, and it tastes amazing!“

“I'm a trucker, so I get to eat at a lot of places in the country. Let me say this now added to my list of good food places. The Cafe is probably one of the cleanest places iv been to in a long time. And you can tell they take pride in this cuase the cook was always cleaning up after herself. The food was like mammas good and hot. They are vary friendly. And the pice was on piont. I highly recommend it.“

“Cute cafe and hangout! Great for getting some work done as well! When we came it was really busy so our order took forever - maybe it was a little understaffed. The Nutella scone was amazing ? I loved the decoration and layout of the cafe.Vegetarian options: They also had vegan pastries ?“

“I ordered the breakfast special "French Toast with a choice of meat, for me it was the bacon and Home Fries". The breakfast was excellent and it came out quickly. I ate their as there was ample room. I would highly recommend this location. For under $10.00 you can't go wrong. The food was excellent, the service was great and Daisy the owner has a great personality. Service with a smile!“

“This place is wonderful! It's so hard to find gluten free, nut free desserts that actually taste good. The ones here are exquisite. I'm so happy I found this place! They are making my wedding cake, I'm so excited!! I highly recommend them!“

“I'm so happy to stumble upon Rock Cafe, because there are not many (or any other) places to grab a bite to eat within Bedford building complex. The cafe on the ground floor of Total Wine HA. The entrance might be a bit hard to find, but it is on the side that is facing the main road. While it's a small cafe, it has a menu that contains various salads, soups, and sandwiches. Also, I believe Rock Cafe has Indian food on Mondays and Thursdays. Since I visited on a Thursday and didn't want a sandwich, I decided to go with the Butter Chicken. OMG! The dish was so yummy. In fact, the plan was to eat half of it and save the rest for dinner. However, it was so delicious that I ate the entire thing!The owner/manager has a great rapport with the Rock Cafe's visitors and seems to be on a first name basis with many of them. I have a feeling that I will have a few more lunches at Rock Cafe.“
