Service with a frown!? I have been coming to this shop for several years but no more…. The barista has to be one of the rudest people I have encountered…. Always has a sour look on her face. I will consistently order the same thing. Usually she doesn’t make the coffee the way I ask. Some times I ask her to redo it. Yesterday it happened again and I asked her to redo it and she gaslighted me by saying I always complain. If you don’t like providing customer service then perhaps you need to be in a different business.

Such a cozy vibe here with great coffee. Prices are what you’d expect, and well worth it. The latte I had was delicious ?

Do yourself a favor and stay away!!!!! Do not patronize them!!!! I went in this morning and ordered a small caramel latte and the cashier with an attitude said that she DID NOT have caramel syrup to make the latte. So l ordered a small vanilla latte instead. 10 secs after l placed my order white customers come in and order caramel macchiato and BEHOLD!!!!! The caramel has magically appeared out of thin air. I WILL NOT BE BACK HERE!!!!!!

The beans were roasted well and the espresso was pulled correctly. However, they shouldn't say "single origin" as the beans come from multiple countries, according to the barista who took my order. Wish they had different flavor profiles, but their espresso is good if you like dark, chocolately coffee. Didn't have with milk, but I'm sure it would complement latte type drinks. On it's own, it's just ok.

I always buy my coffee beans from here since last year and the quality is amazing! I recommend the yirgacha coffee, it's my favorite, great taste. Owner and the staff are always very polite too! Best tasting coffee beans I tried!

The staff at the Silver Spring location informed me that they also have a location in Rockville, which is why I came here. Very comfortable and cozy. I won't be able to make the trip over here often because it's a bit farther from where I live, but I'll definitely recommend it to other people.
