“I always loved this place. Spacy, friendly staff but I had to stop going to Starbucks generally, because they don't have unsweetened non-dairy milk. I love cappuccino and only few coffee shops offer it with unsweetened milk. I hope Starbucks also consider getting unsweetened milk.“
“This is a gem of a spot in Cleveland Park! I discovered it one day and now I’m a regular and have started bringing my friends. Who all have said they wanna come back. The restaurant is small, but intimate and the food is amazing. The Scallops are a must try. Every time I’ve gone and sat at the bar and have always had an amazing experience. Kyle & Victor are so knowledgeable on their wines and just make the experience 10x better. The playful pairings on the menu are also another highlight and a lot of fun. Definitely a spot worth checking out!“
“We had the best time at KooKoo DC last night. They accommodated a table of 14 for my spouse's birthday and never let us feel like an imposition. The food was so fresh, authentic, and reasonably priced - I did a double take when we got the bill. I even felt like we went all-out with apps, drinks, and desserts! The owner was also so kind - we just felt so cared for the whole time and can't wait to visit again.“
“We walked by this place not really looking to eat but the exterior stopped us in our tracks. We looked in and saw all the pastries and decided to make a quick pit stop. We got a Pistachio Meringue Roulette to share. Mistake. Should have gotten one for myself. The flavors work perfectly together. I also got the Strawberry Matcha to wash it all down and I’m still thinking about it. Wish they would bottle that stuff!“
“Fabulous bakery/coffee shop . What a hidden gem! Coffee is Zeke’s which I love. Their Tuna sandwich and Avocado Toast are amazing. Subtle spices are delicious. Their pastries never disappoint. Seriously the best local place for coffee and a croissant and I have tried a lot!Kid-friendliness: Very friendly staff with a smile for everyone. Have seen little tots in their with their parents sitting have a hot chocolate.“
“Amazing food from start to finish, amazing portions, great tea, and Coffee. We read the reviews as we where looking for a place to eat breakfast. The owner is amazing, the food is phenomenal, my family and I all agreed. My kids never agree on food, we were all in a food coma.“
“This place was great. The service was good, the food came out fast and was really good. The only thing was that the noodles got soggy really fast. The banh mi was good. It was big and filled pretty well too. Overall a very good pho place and will probably come again sometime.“
“This coffee shop is worth the hype! A quick walk from the Takoma Redline station makes this place easy to get to. The cafe does get very crowded but do not let that discourage you. I tried the Chai Tea Latte which was one of the best I have had since moving back to the region. I also tried the egg, cheddar, and sausage on a Crogel. I normally do not really eat sausage because of the taste. The sausage was fresh and tasted really good. I was very surprised by the delicious taste of the sausage and by how well all the flavors went together. I can't remember what latte my partner ordered but it was also really good. I definitely recommend this cafe!“
“Super casual breakfast place- go up to the counter and order a comforting meal. Came in for breakfast and got the morning platter with French toast and bacon and a iced mocha coffee (which was good and and overly sweet!) Price point is fair and portions are filling. Leaving a picture of my toast. Sorry there is a missing slice.“
“Great food, super cute and chic ambiance, and easy, prompt service. The menu has all the classics of an upscale Italian restaurant and the flavors + portions don't disappoint! I had the Burrata, the mushroom pasta, and the broccolini - all were well prepared and delicious. The price point is certainly on the higher side but nonetheless it's a cute and cosy spot that I hope to be back to soon. Glad to have this option in the neighborhood!“
“Some of the most delicious food in DC. As a vegan they had so many incredible options that you can’t always find at regular Indian restaurants. The dosa with potato filling and idly were incredible and the server was so quick to provide her recommendation for her favorite vegan curry. My friend was gluten free too and we had so many options to enjoy - it was a feast!All vegans in the area need to run over here right away! Veganesha is the bestVegetarian options: Vegan, vegetarian, and gluten free options available“
“A fantastic little place to find when I saw a Starbucks and wished for anything but Starbucks! This is what I wish there was more of in DC! It’s exactly what you want and the food and drink is perfect. I had the spinach and feta croissant and a cappuccino.“
“Beautiful cafe! Feels like a cute little oasis with a lovely courtyard. Their baked goods and coffee are delicious and the hospitality / service is fantastic. Mar, Sylvia, and Manuel are so friendly and easy to talk to — feels like I’ve known them for years. This place feels like home ❤️“
“The food is exceptional here - such unique and authentic dishes that are out of this world! The service is also amazing - it has a very family feel and everyone I've met is just so kind. I travel to Rockville monthly for work and will come back every time!!“
“Such a hidden gem! I had their pecan latte, which has actual pecan pieces in the drink. So creative! Limited pastry options, they do have vegan options. The vibe is cozy and cute, would love to come back to try their dinners/food and alcoholic drinks.Street parking available.“
“I'm from out of town and found Little Food Studio through a recommendation from a friend. I ordered a Bianca (ham and cheese) with the spicy spread and a cherry blossom lemonade, both of which were VERY delicious. While waiting for the food to be made there were many other customers who came in. I completely understand why this place is rated to highly. Cheap prices, great food, and friendly staff.“
“Discovered it when visiting DC. A comfy and cosy spot for an Armenian snack (and coffee if you are into that). Ordered a Lahmajun and Soujuk for a small lunch and they were both so satisfying in flavour and texture =)It would be one of my go to places if I lived in this city. Highly recommended.(If you are tea/tea-latte drinker like me then there unfortunately isn't a drink for us...)“
“Mixture Food Hall offers a variety of vegan foods, desserts, drinks, organic supplements, oils & herbs, play areas, arcade machines & including sport TV monitors, seating areas,180° bar area, upperstairs lounge space, 5 individual restrooms, parking space. The only downside was that baby strollers couldn't be rolled into from sidewalk & had to lift up the stairs. The art moral could be used for a photo background.Vegetarian options: They offered Musa's fried oyster mushroom sandwiches & a variety of sides; tacos qucidillas; bar beers & drinks; burgers; wings & salads. My son didn't like Musa food due to too salty fried oyster mushrooms & salty fries were overcooked. The wait staff was professional; followed food safety guidelines & customer service oriented.Parking: Small to mid-size cars & suvs use space but tight parking spaces.Kid-friendliness: They offered a play area including a table & 4 metal kid chairs with educational toys & games; a loga board game, arcade machine & shooting arcade game.“
“Büna has quickly become one of my favorite cafes of all time. The people who work there are so kind and remember your name and order and work to make your experience enjoyable and catered to you specifically. The food (both Ethiopian and American) is absolutely fantastic. Everything I’ve had has been a slam dunk. I am not someone who orders takeout almost ever and I’ve made an exception for this cafe. I keep coming back for the Ethiopian vegan rolls, fir fir side dish and brunch platter! Wish I could take this place everywhere I go!“
“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)“
“What a delight! I wanted to try a new place and I’m so glad I stumbled across Sunday Morning Bakehouse! When I walked in, I was immediately pulled by the beautiful decor, high ceilings, and smell of baked goods and coffee. I was helped as soon as I got on the line and the staff that prepared my food and coffee was very pleasant! I saw some reviews about it being super crowded, which was not the case when I visited. I bought an decaf iced Oat milk Mocha was delicious and several pastries, like the croissant, chocolate chip cookie, and banana loaf was demolished by me and friends in minutes. I can’t wait to visit again!“
“I ordered two cake slices and a Swiss roll to bring to a dinner and they were all delicious! The cake and frosting are not too sweet, and the fruit flavors taste like fresh fruit. The packaging is cute and makes each cake slice look like a gift. The store has lots of Japanese treats as well as the baked goods, and I will be returning to try more things.“
“Was greeted with a friendly face. Ordered with ease. I had an iced horcha-latte and a campo bowl. Food was delicious, could have been a little bit warmer but definitely didn't take away from the taste and experience. I'll definitely be back.“
“My husband and I love this place & always recommend to our friends who haven’t been yet. From the gelato, to drip coffee, gluten free brownies and breakfast sandwiches and burritos, everything is SUPERB! Yesterday we ordered the breakfast burrito(comes in spinach wrap), waffles & breakfast tacos with bacon added. As usual, everything was fresh, quick & filling! Kevin up front is always great to chat with & super helpful. The other young ladies are also friendly, hardworking & keep the place so neat & tidy. Stop by!!“
“I was there today and the costumer service is great the people who works there are really friendly and nice.I’d order a mango slush and it was very refreshing and good.I definitely will come back thank you John and Mary for your service☺️“
“Went here with vegan friends and we all had the vegetarian sampler. The food was absolutely scrumptious. The staff were gracious and lovely and the atmosphere was very pleasant with really nice music playing. I highly recommend this restaurant! We'll definitely be coming back!“
Ice Cream Shop • $
“Went here on a whim with a few friends after dinner. Very cute and cozy shop, for a quick sweet treat. I got the blueberry basil sorbet and pain perdu. The blueberry basil was phenomenal!!! Really tasted like fresh blueberries and the basil was standout. The pain perdu was a little lackluster compared to the sorbet, however it was very creamy and cinnamon forward. I would go back for the sorbet for sure. A con for this shop is that they don’t do any samples which was a big bummer.Vegetarian options: Sorbets and vegan icecream“
“A Great place for coffee, beverage with some nice food options. They have a good breakfast menu including a few pastries to choose from. The happy hour menu is very reasonable. I loved to avocado & black bean toast either mesclun salad, cojito cheese and two poached eggs. The service is always good.“
Deli • $
“I was recommended this location by a friend who tried CYM and I loved it! The little deli (food truck) was near my house and was a pretty quick trip. The ordering process was seamless. I ordered online and picked up my order right the window. I got a Sun City Bagel which featured cheddar, eggs, and bacon! The food was HOTTTT and fresh... literally to die for! It stayed warm even an hour later when I finished my nail appointment that I was heading too! Also the branding and location is just aesthetic! Even though this is a food truck location, they did have a few parking spots which was easy enough to just park and get out grab my food and go! Good food + aesthetic location = happy Cindy“
“Today I delivered a refrigerator to this restaurant, the staff was very pleasant and friendly, when I was finished with my delivery Sateeb offered me lunch. I haven’t had Indian food before so I was a little reluctant to try. I’m glad I did. I had the chicken lollipop, the flavor was unmatched, totally taken by surprise. He then offered chicken biryani, this is a traditional dish, it was amazing. All the sauces were good. 10/10 I would recommend and definitely will be going again“
“Edited: We continue coming back for macaroons and have had much better experiences since. Looking forward to more GF options!Original: I’ve been going for macaroons for a couple months, and coffee sometimes, but today I decided to try a hot cider with bourbon with my partner. They carded both of us, made a deal about it, and forgot to make my drink. The person who carded us proceeded to say “you ordered two?” like they didn’t check both of our cards and the receipt said 2. In fact, we watched the person behind the bar make my partner’s drink, 3 more alcoholic drinks, clean up, and put everything away. We stood waiting and staring and trying to call for someone. We ordered to-go… if you see people standing and waiting at the front, and trying to catch someone, doesn’t it mean they’re missing something? I’ll be back for macaroons, but forget getting an overpriced drink that’s made without effort and the most you get is “sorry about that”. Don’t get me wrong, their coffee and macaroons are amazing, and I’ll probably be back - but I regret tipping today and I won’t be wasting my money on a boozy drink again.“
“I catered from the Bean Bag Deli for the first time for a work conference. Mitchell was by far the best person to work with when trying to facilitate numerous orders. He was very flexible and adaptable to our needs/desires. He provided amazing customer service and I will 10000% be a returning customer! I recommend to anyone wanting a quick and yummy bite or for a large group, either way, you'll leave happy. :)“
“I just moved to Silver spring, and honestly had a hard time finding a smoothie place. I landed on this place completely by accident and I'm so happy I did. The freshness is unlike anything I ever had, I recommend you acai bowl, and I'm looking forward to trying other things on the menu. It's absolutely delicious!“
“Another local gem for getting coffee and pastries. Vigilante Coffee (Hyattsville) is spacious but cozy and full of energy by the friendly staff, baristas, managers, and customers. I visited this past Sunday, St. Patrick's Day and the place had a beautiful Celtic atmosphere with live music by Abbie Palmer and Agi Kovacs. They were wonderful and so friendly and personable.I had a delicious oat milk Flat White with a Honey Pistachio Kouign Amann pastry.“
“Stopped in here randomly when running errands. Such a cute little shop and so homey. Their matcha is so good, as I’m sure everything else…especially the kimbap, it’s the best ever! If you’ve never tried it before, get it here when it is fresh and homemade. I live in NE and will go out of my way to come back all the time!“
“Super cute locally owned boba place!! The lady who took care of use was very sweet and the boba is perfect, in terms of sweetness level. Support local this Lunar New Year! ?Kid-friendliness: Super cute place if your kids also want some boba.“
“I am consistently impressed by the diverse selection of high-quality teas and essential ingredients offered at this store. From Middle Eastern to South American cuisine, they cater to a wide range of tastes. I particularly recommend trying their Total Calm tea; its soothing blend is a must-try for anyone with anxiety, stress or insomnia.“
“Amazing experience. I received a nice, warm “good morning,” greeting from the young lady (Anaya?) . She went above and beyond to help me select my chocolates (gifts). She was a step a head of me in packaging my goods for my mile long walk. Thank you so much! I’ll return when I visit Bethesda again.“
“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!“
“Fairly frequent (weekly) coffee (Ethiopian) & samosa (pastry w/lentil filling) cafe; friendly and welcoming owners and clientele. I have not had the other selections but others do and enjoy. Prices, quality & portions are good. Stop in and support local small business.“
“I’ve tried them all. Elle, the Den, Emissary, Tatte, Buna, 1990s cappuccinos at the Willard. Gotta hand it to the Den at #2, also an excellent experience. But Doubles is #1.Best coffee in DC when they get it right. Get a latte “for here” in one of their thick ceramic mugs and sit out in the warm Spring air on their covered patio. What a way to spend a Sunday.“
“I love coming here! It’s a cute little spot that has a cozy vibe! I’m a HUGE fan of the arepas — literally they are delicious! Sometimes I have to stop myself from buying several at a time. Their coffee is also really good, with more of the flavors heightened with oat milk. It’s a regular stop for me!“
“Wonderful roaster and coffee spot. The staff are full of personality, a little rambunctious and connect with their customers. The coffee is delicious with a full body. I ordered a pour over drip coffee from their selection of different roasts and I was very happy with my selection. The wait wasn't too long and I got to enjoy the dialogue and atmosphere of the little roasting shop. They might only be open on Saturdays, but it's worth the visit if you're in the area and timing works out.“
“Stopped here for the first time last week and boy was I blown away! It’s easily become a favorite place. I got the Thunderbird with Cheesy Yuca bread (gluten free) and I inhaled it in minutes! All of the flavors and textures worked together and it was absolutely delicious! It was also so filling, in a way that breakfast sandwiches are often not. I also appreciated that it was just your typical BEC either. My oat milk Mocha was also delightful, which was especially satisfying as it was decaf. All in all, I can’t wait to return!“
“I heard about Levain and was in the Bethesda area, so I had to make a stop. As soon as you walk in, you’re hit was amazing smells of baked goods and fresh coffee. The options are simple and straightforward. The staff was all business; get you in and get you out - order and move out of the way.I tried four different cookies. Were they worth the hype? Yes! Absolutely! Maybe some of the best cookies I’ve ever had. At $5 a piece, they’re expensive but worth the cost. I will definitely visit again when in town and look forward to trying other options and flavors. Thanks.“
“My favorite thing about this location is the cute outdoor seating area (shaded and perfect for a nice day) and the walk-up window, so i was able to grab and go while walking my dog. Service was very quick and the staff was friendly. Call Your Mother has a few vegetarian options (my favorite is Mountain View with latke inside) as well as a gluten free bagel option (yuca for +$2.50). You can try all their unique bagels such as zaatar and cream cheese such as apple pie and cheez-it. I dont think they have indoor seating.“
“Best drip coffee and beans on the strip. Especially good with yirgacheffe blend Family owned and friendly. The locally made sambusas are excellent.Not skilled at cortados, flat whites or other specialties; though. The baked goods could be better“
“I was in DTSS running an errand, had a hankering for breakfast sandwich and stumbled upon this charming cafe. The women who took my order and prepared my food was refreshingly kind, warm, and genuine. The bacon egg and cheese croissant was hot, fresh, and perfectly prepared with REAL ingredients. The latte was delicious and put Starbucks to shame. I will gladly return to this small business anytime I’m in DTSS. Oh and the pastries looked delectable. Regrettably I didn’t get to try any.“
“Use to love this place now the smell alone keeps me from being able to enjoy myself. The entire place reeks of dog urine and makes me gag. I went back tonight for the first time in a year and couldn’t believe how bad it is now.Edit: thank you for your response. I went back tonight and it was much better than a week ago. Also shout out to Thomas the bartender for being kind and friendly to everyone.“
“I have a bit of an obsession with custard buns, and I think the ones from Momo are my absolute favorite. They are soft and fluffy and not cloyingly sweet. I also tried the strawberry cream bun, which was also heavenly! I think fellow milk bread lovers will really enjoy this bakery :)“
