50 Best Cafes near Aspen Hill

“I want to put this review specifically because most employees don’t get the recognition they deserve when it’s positive.
I want to thank Daniel for being a very welcoming and friendly when taking my order. He has one of the most inviting attitudes I’ve had since coming here, especially in this heat wave. Thankfully it wasn’t busy enough and he got straight to my order as soon as I paid. I sincerely hope he gets the recognition he deserves!“

“I stopped in with friends before a event Sunday evening. The staff was warm and welcoming. I had the lentil sambusas and a peanut-infused coffee at the staff’s recommendation. The food was fast and delicious- the sambusas were warm and spicy, and the peanut coffee was delicious! In a kind gesture, the chef sent over a sampling of sushi to our table. Fresh and refreshing, the sushi was a nice complement to my sambusas and hot beverage. I’m not on this side of town often, but now I have a reason to come back.“

“Jose was amazing! His service was really great, and he was so friendly and attentive. The matchas he made were SO good honestly some of the best I’ve had! You can tell he really cares about what he does. Definitely recommend! 💚✨“

“Amazing place, all four visits have been delicious, and incredible. The dishes are so beautiful they could be in magazines…. But they’re far better in my belly! I absolutely love this place, heading there for the fifth time later today 😊“

“This place has excellent food, fast service, and always makes me feel welcome. This has been my go-to spot for coffee, dinner, snacks, drinks....you name it. Also - a special shout out to one of the baristas, Davis, who always goes out of his way to make sure customers are served quickly and is sure to ask if customers are good with the quality of their meal. He just offers great customer service.“

“Best cup of coffee in Montgomery County. Nice people, good food.“

The store responded promptly to requests and was detailed in taking orders.

Every flavor stands out.“

“Every time I visit my family in DC, I always go to Cafe on 9th! Best place in the neighborhood to get a sandwich, and is NYC folk know how to judge a good BECSPK 🥪 if you want a great breakfast/lunch sandwich, definitely stop by here!“

“Today I had the best fried chicken sandwich since Kevin Tien’s Perfect seasoning—a little heat but not too much, smashed avocado, coleslaw, and chicken that had just the right amount of crispy covering that kept the chicken moist. I can’t wait to return for another.“

“it's the best restaurant in the DC area by far.“

“spacious inside. some seating outside as well.. good place to eat, drink, and view art.“

“very nice 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰 🥐🍇🍕🧁🍫“

“I was heading to an appointment but I could smell the spices in the air. This was a major surprise. Quick service and flavorful food, with a fusion of Habesha and American cuisine. Truly a hidden gem in Silver Spring!!“

“So happy my son and I found this beautiful little gem! Their twist on a breakfast burrito was amazing and my son ate every little bit of his sausage, egg and cheese as well as his chocolate croissant.
We’ll definitely find ourselves back here more and more.“

“Very good coffee drinks! Nice atmosphere too.“

“Great and Delicious food! So glad I found it :)“

“Thank you,Great food with very nice and friendly staff. Love this Lilit cafe“

“good food nice associates“

“Cool concept it’s like +6 kitchens in 1. They offer a lot of different promos on social media. From Alana pizza, I ordered the burrata and the bacon pesto pizza. The burrata was really fresh and I enjoyed the pesto pizza. From Di Fara pizza, I ordered the pepperoni, sausage and meatball pizza. Not sure if it was dough or the pizza was undercooked, but I wish there was more of a crisp to the crust. I found myself chewing longer than expected.

Location was really clean and ordering via the app was easy. There’s plenty of street parking around the shopping center. Prices are high for the area. I would definitely be back to try some of the other restaurants.“

“Best cappuccino I’ve had since Italy! Great service and cozy atmosphere! I’ll be back!“

“Can’t wait to go back!!! It was delicious. I wish it was closer to my house.“

“Amazingly delicious and healthy options to choose from! Love visiting, shopping, and chatting with the Owner Lisa who is awesomely approachable, friendly, and helpful!!! I am a long-standing time and very satisfied customer! SeaMoss on Deck!!!!!💯😋 Going back soon!💯😋“

“Wow! Strawberry crepes! Pecan waffles! Huevos rancheros! This place has a huge menu full of high level breakfast dishes. Food is delicious, wonderful service. It is tucked into an office park which means it isn't too crowded on the weekend.“

“Got breakfast here. The lady behind the counter was so nice! My breakfast sandwich was just how I like it (they serve scrapple), and my daughter liked her french toast. The order came out fast. I can't wait to come back and try more of the menu!“

“Johana made our experience at First Watch exceptional. She was warm, attentive, and genuinely kind from the moment we sat down. She checked on us at just the right times, made great recommendations, and made sure everything came out perfectly. Even though the restaurant was busy, she stayed upbeat and made us feel like a priority. It’s rare to come across service that feels so genuine, and Johana absolutely delivered. If you’re dining here, I highly recommend asking for her. You won’t be disappointed. Thank you, Johana, for making our breakfast such a great experience!“

“Yay!! A bar that has a great Happy Hour with excellent prices and the best food!!! Non- threatening atmosphere for an old lady like me to come in and watch Notre Dame game by myself! Friendly, inexpensive, clean and yummy food!!“

“Food was pretty good, we felt the scramble eggs aren't scrambled, if you are a picky eater and love your eggs SCRAMBLED. Everything else was great, I had a omlette and it was delicious and very well prepared. Our only complaint was the A/C, it was pumping, luckily I had (2) light jackets in my car. I noticed the couple next to us went to his car and got an sweatshirt for his Mom. It was just a bit cold, but I would deal with that versus A/C is broken. I would go back as this was my first visit.“

“I’ve loved coming in and seeing the staff make the fresh coffee on Sunday from the pot. Such a refreshing aroma. I like their espresso coffee with steam milk .“

“Since checking this place out, I have become a regular customer, and now come in 1-2x a week for a grocery restock. I have had no time to cook since the new year and had been eating out almost every meal.... but there are so few places around with healthy options. I am so picky about what fruits and veggies, organic items, etc. that I eat, and thankfully sprouts has provided great options for that! The baristas/cashiers are always so helpful and kind to us. Some of my favorites are-- ALL of the soups (seriously that chicken and rice is perfection, especially if you are under the weather), turkey chili, thai wrap, veggie wrap, egg roll in a bowl, drunken noodles, bbq chicken and succotash, the vitality ginger drink (that spice burns but feels good!), the challah and sourdough bread, eskimo bites for a treat, and the strawberry blondie brownies! I am trying new things as the menu changes, but these have been on my constant restock when available of what I have had so far!! I recently learned they can heat the items for you, so you can eat a hot meal there (I have not done this yet myself, as this is like grocery shopping for me so i take it home... but i have seen lots of people in there enjoying their meals!) I have seen some complain about the prices, but if you know the quality of what you are getting (local, organic), then you would realize these are very fair prices! If I have ever wanted to request something or had a slight issue, Sprouts has always been more than happy to accommodate. Thank you Sprouts for providing great service and food options to the community! You will see me again soon! Gluten free, Dairy free, or Flexitarian, check them out!“

“My favorite place to get boba/tea! The service is great and the drinks are always high quality! Really recommend! : )“

“We’ve been going to Carmen since our kids were little. The ice and custard are delicious and the service is always amazing.“

“I love that Cafe Sunflower supports the community of people with learning differences with its training and employment program. The baked goods were delicious, too!“

“I pick Black Lion Cafe over Starbucks because I love the atmosphere and baristas.“

“Outstanding coffee! Great service. Awesome ambience.“

“I really enjoy with with Matcha drink tonight“

“AMAZING !!If I could give then 10 stars I would. I ordered the chipotle chicken bacon affordable,fresh ingredients , and delicious delicious. On the uber app it didn’t give me an option to add avocado so I put it in the notes and they delivered. I even got a complimentary sweet lol. This is my second time ordering from them and I’ll continue to do so

Update: This is my 3rd time ordering from this place and I decided to go in person!
The hospitality the freshness the attention to detail. This time I ordered their salad and I added chicken and other things wow! The quantity and the quality for the price I’m still stunned I’m clearly obsessed with this place. Fresh SUPER FRESH INGREDIENTS!“

“good burgers, nice vibe.“

“The waiter was outstanding in his delivery and recommendations. The only thing we were disappointed in (which was actually quite big) was the birthday celebration we were having yesterday, The waisted mentioned earlier in the service that he had that taken care of- but then nothing at all was done, despite the fact that we ordered after dinner drinks and desserts. A real disappointment“

“One of our families favorite breakfast spots! The sandwiches are delicious, but start with a Morning Glory. Highly Recommend“

“Always my favourite stop on my trip. Every time I'm in the area to see my girlfriend I stop and get soup here, and it's always always delicious. Honestly this time I told her before I came down that I'm excited tk see her, but I'm ever more excited to have soup. 😅 Worth the 4 hour drive everytime 💜“

“This is my hometown watering hole! I live on Maui now but OTWC is always my first meal when I come home. Maryland Crab Soup and the Swing Wings is what I always get!“

“Great staff and great food. The perfect neighborhood cafe.“

“Color, colorful pastries, drinks and cakes ready for Spring like looks. I love something fresh and delicious that is new every time I come in to their suave Asian European cafe. The atmosphere is relaxing with the great service and music that is "beat" each time I go in. Bruce Lee "Avian Expression Looks" visits popping in as April 2022.“

“Love coming here for a ham and geyure. The best! Add tomato and pesto, it's awesome!“

“The ladies working there are super nice. The food is delicious and they give you plenty! Nice place to sit and have lunch. Update, I've been back multiple times and tried more food and it's all been delicious. We continue to come back weekly.“

“Had the breakfast combo of corn beef hash with home fried potatoes and sunny side up eggs with toast with butter on it. It was a memory rush from the past waking you to cooking breakfast on Saturday morning sunny shining thought the window not too strong but enough that the room is like a good dream.“

“The music is great! They play a lot of alternative and similarly chill music, occasionally with some acoustic or singer songwriter thrown into the mix. Prices aren't bad for DC either. While their tea selection is limited, it's high quali-tea. Also, the chairs are super comfy and the space is very relaxing and good to focus in since it isn't typically crazy busy.“

“We love the Black Lion in Silver Spring. A very pleasant atmosphere, quiet enough for a conversation, yet busy enough to feel vibrant. I buy my coffee beans there for morning home brewing and love to sit in the cafe with a macchiato. A great addition to the neighborhood.“
