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.“

“first time here, the staff was very welcoming. food was fresh and delicious. Can't wait to come back and try more items“

“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 😊“

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

“I came to try this bakery after seeing it promoted on Instagram as an authentic Asian-style bakery. I miss the Japanese bakeries I would frequent often when living in Japan a few years ago, and this one definitely brought back those memories. The interior is cute and on display were a variety of Asian-style baked goods and some minimal seating. I got the ube twist and melon pan. The ube twist was really delicious — I’d highly recommend it. The melon pan was disappointing; I expect a crunchy cookie crust on melon pan and this one was sticky and soft. The bread itself was super plush and soft and amazing, so it would be great if they could improve upon it with a crunchier cookie crust. The bread items were $3-4 each, so not the cheapest, but I was happy to support a local Asian bakery.“

“My wife and I stopped here for some breakfast before heading out for our day. When you walk in, the place has a nice quaint atmosphere. We ordered a breakfast burrito and a bagel breakfast sandwich. The food was really good! It did take a little bit of time for our food to be ready, but the guy behind the counter was so pleasant and running his butt off!“

“Delicious and super staff!“

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

“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!!“

“once you enter through the gates of maman, you enter a place that allows you to enjoy in the conversation of your company while being set at ease. maman, is truly a place of its own. and if you have the pleasure of meeting Barbara, you’ll be lucky for it.“

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

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

“good food nice associates“

“very nice 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰 🥐🍇🍕🧁🍫“

“Very good coffee drinks! Nice atmosphere too.“

“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.“

“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.“

“We had a great time last night! I had a party of 13 and the two managers I talked to were super friendly and accommodating. We sat outside, it was really lovely and the food was great! Plus they have QR codes on all the tables which made it super easy for our large party to order individually.
Highly recommend!“

“This is a hidden gem. I don't think people are aware that breakfast and lunch options are so extensive. There's even a great Bulgogi dish. I stopped in with low expectations because it's in an industrial park by an emergency animal hospital (the reason I was nearby) and this place is great. Easy parking, tables, TV, huge breakfast, lunch and beverage menus. The prices are much lower than other places. Ann was there working too.

The matcha latte and chai latte were both very good. The bulgogi was awesome and I ordered a grilled chicken wrap too. A great brunch spot hidden here“

“It was our first time ordering from this place and we got steak and cheese , chicken Philly, santa fe chicken wrap and gyro and all of it was so delicious that we all loved it. Fries was also amazing ...I will definitely order again and will explore the menue“

“Cafe X is by far our favorite breakfast spot. The food is incredible and the staff are absolutely lovely. It used to be a weekly tradition until we moved a few states away. When visiting, we always make it a priority to stop by! Don’t skip out on this gem!“

“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 .“

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

“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!“

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

“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!“

“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!!“

“Outstanding coffee! Great service. Awesome ambience.“

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

“We were celebrating my mom's 88th birthday and everything was perfect! The table was great and the service was outstanding by Cliff, who is fantastic. The food was so delicious. Clyde's Lodge is our favorite place to eat and every time we go there it is wonderful and never disappoints!“

“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 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.“

“Sought a relaxed place for lunch and found this.“

“Literally so cute and the food/drinks were SO GOOD! The owners were very sweet. I got a hot chocolate and a Nutella and banana crepe and both were absolutely amazing. The hot chocolate was creamy and chocolatey and it was also the perfect temperature. I recommend adding whip cream as it really elevated the flavor with the contrasting temperatures. My friend got a turkey and cheese crepe and a caramel Frappuccino, both of which were very tasty. The savory crepe was super yummy and the caramel Frappuccino was sweet and frozen/creamy. Overall 10/10 and I definitely want to come back in the future.“

“This is one of my favorite cafes IN THE WORLD. The food and coffee here is exceptional at reasonable prices. The ambience is amazing - not too loud even when full of people. Beautiful lamps and plants adorn the modern-industrial vibe of this place. There are also plenty of books, outlets, and a variety of seating arrangements and styles“

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

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

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

“Cozy cafe with welcoming hospitality. I ordered Pistachio Latte and it was delicious. The place is clean, and quiet with slow nostalgic music. Wether going out alone to grab coffee and work from your laptop, in a group to grab some drinks, it's a beautiful place to enjoy.“

“This place is legitimately fantastic. I’m a big fan of hole-in-the-wall office building delis (okay, it’s an admittedly unusual interest…), and this one is a great example. It’s got that perfect mashup of deli standbys like breakfast sandwiches, subs, and sandwiches, plus a bunch of things from the owner’s background - in this case, great Korean food. Likewise, the variety of snacks and drinks is similarly broad, with a lot of unusual things you don’t see many places. Too bad it’s only open on weekdays, but if you’ve got to see a specialist for some doctor’s appointment, this is a good reason to pick one at 5454 Wisconsin.“

“Great Food, Excellent Customer Service and ideal portions 💯💯💯💯“

“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!💯😋“

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

“Thank you for opening an outpost 10 minutes from my house. Service is always great and love the food. Today I had the Bacado Omelet which was great. Also took an order of the Lemon Blueberry Cornbread to go. It’s something for the table to share - or if you’re solo to eat over 3 or 4 days.

I frequently get the Traditional. Friends love the Lemon Ricotta pancakes.

Servers are terrific. Always friendly and welcoming.“

“Great corner store with a friendly staff and great selection of snacks, drinks and hot food!“

“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!“

“The best brunch! My omelet with salmon was immaculate with the presentation and the taste! Just a garnish of salmon to not make the taste too strong! The best humble people ! Not overcrowded! You can refill your coffee as many times as you want! Warm atmosphere! I will come back again! Actually this is my second visit since yesterday! Love this one in Rockville!“

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