“Walter was EXTREMELY accommodating when realizing this was not the correct location for pickup. I was running late and he decided to have my order prepared there anyway!! This type of customer service is hard to come by and I appreciate it as I’ve been a loyal customer of Dunkin for years! Kudos to Walter and his staff!“

“I needed to order a cake for a birthday and ordered less than 24 hours before I needed to pick up the cake. I called and spoke to Mohammad. He was super helpful and told me he could have the cake ready when needed. He walked me through the steps I needed to take to order the cake online and still have it ready when I needed it. I ordered the pink floral stripe cake and it was perfect; pretty and delicious! Mohammad even texted me afterwards to make sure I was satisfied! Customer service was top notch!“

“I've always come to this McDonald's because it's literally right by my neighborhood but lately the people they hav hired respectfully suck! You literally have to check your order 3x before leaving the restaurant cus they forget the most smallest things like syrup for your pancakes or a sandwich in your order or the fries ,luckily I live right by it and I go back cus that was my order in the first place but lately it's everytime I go now ,they forget something and I dont have the energy to be going back every single time for something they forget thats on the order when I forget to check my order 3x before leaving 🙄 hopefully the service gets better!“

“Work has taken me from Arkansas to New York and now Maryland, and even though I don’t usually have much time to explore, I always try to find a good coffee spot. ☕

TikTok search sent me to Vigilante Coffee in Hyattsville and it did not disappoint. The coffee was so good I literally had to order a second one. 🤭 The service was very welcoming, the kind of place you’re glad you stumbled across.

Definitely one of my favorite finds while traveling for work. 🤎☕“

“I came here on a Sunday evening during Restaurant Week, but we wanted to try more dishes so we opted for a couple of them from the regular menu. My favorites were the mixed spread and dolma, as well as the sumac lemonade. Our server, Abdullah, was excellent! The whole dining experience was great from start to finish. Highly recommend this place!“

“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! 💚✨“

“Favorite local coffee spot. Great staff! Great coffee!“

“Love the latte flight! And the sandwiches are delicious!“

“Charming bakery with not-too-sweet-desserts. Delicious tiramisu - this cake was gone minutes after blowing out the candles!

The owners had great communication for placing and picking up a full cake order. A special thank you for taking on my special request to decorate the cake with Russian writing! It came out perfectly beautiful and made my mom very happy :)“

“Wonderful coffee and service!“

“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.“

“This is a charming locally owned café that offers exceptionally fresh food and coffee - they roast and grind their own beans on site. The atmosphere is cozy and welcoming and the owners take the time to truly greet every customer of which there are many regulars. I am thrilled to have a wonderful place to go whenever I'm in Bethesda. I've been twice so far and plan to frequent more often ❤“

“excellent peruvian foood!!!! totally recommend!!!!!! i was very impressed and drove 1.5hrs to try it. worth the drive!!!!!!“

“I have been going here since I was 15, and even with the new owners and people working their, the relaxed energy and the good drinks are always good. Even today as I got my free drink for using up the punch card,
Jenny helped me out and was happy to help and always has a calm energy, even when there is a long line. Great place, great people“

“The best Ethiopian restaurant in the area! Friendly service , amazingly delicious food.“

“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“

“The coffee is absolutely amazing, reasonably priced, and every single person at Nagadi is delightful and welcoming. But I really miss when they were open on Sundays :-)“

“Good pastries, good coffee drinks and alcoholic drinks. Good venue for music.“

“Delicious and super staff!“

“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.“

“Salmon avocado toast was absolutely superb!“

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

“I had a delicious Chicken Salad Sandwich that was definitely not your bog standard, run of the mill chicken and mayonnaise salad. It was slightly spicy with small bits of fresh red onion, to name the most flavorful differences. 10/10 recommend!

The Iced Mocha Latte was wonderful.“

“very nice 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰 🥐🍇🍕🧁🍫“

“Quaint little family owned coffee shop with an attentive staff. Great coffee!“

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

“The bread was divine. The manicotti was pretty good. It has cold crab on top. The server told me beforehand, which wasn't a problem, but I just don't get it. Seems like the dish would have been better and more composed with warm crab. The salad on top didn't taste like much and didn't add anything other than texture to the dish. The pasta and seafood were both cooked to perfection. Service was great.“

“Great community coffee shop!“

“Fruver is way better than any generic smoothie place! If you care about high quality ingredients and are conscious about what you eat, you definitely need to try this place. The juices and smoothies were fresh, flavorful, and really refreshing. You can tell they put thought into the quality of their ingredients. The staff was also super nice, friendly, and accommodating. Definitely a place I’ll be coming back to!“

“The service was above and beyond tonight. The game guru did a great job finding and teaching us just the right game.“

“Perfect for a quick coffee and croissant, or for sitting down and getting some work done. It’s conveniently located near the garage and Rockville Memorial Library. They also have birthday cakes! The prices are very reasonable, and I loved their coffee and pain au chocolat! 🙏“

“I usually stop by Adulis Ethiopian Cafe when I’m getting my hair done because they’re right next door. Their coffee is so good, hot or iced, and the spaghetti is a must-try! It has such a unique, delicious flavor, and the portions are HUGE! I can literally get three meals out of one order. They also have really good pastries. Definitely worth checking out!“

“I recently had the pleasure of discovering Hello Vietnam, a Vietnamese restaurant located in Rockville, MD, and it was love at first bite. I cannot sing enough praises about this hidden gem. The standout dish at Hello Vietnam is undoubtedly their "phở thố đá sườn bò". This is hands down one of the most special pho dishes I have ever had the pleasure of savoring. The beef ribs are cooked to perfection, tender and flavorful. The broth is rich and aromatic, and the noodles are perfectly cooked. It is a true symphony of flavors that is both comforting and oh-so-delicious. There are many other options that are as delicious such as “bánh cuốn”, “bánh đúc, “bún bò Huế”, etc. The best part? The prices at Hello Vietnam are incredibly affordable, making this culinary delight accessible to all. Beyond the exceptional food, the customer service at Hello Vietnam is truly top-notch. The staff members are attentive, friendly, and knowledgeable about the menu. They know exactly what is expected of them and go above and beyond to ensure that every diner has a memorable dining experience. Their warm and affectionate demeanor makes you feel right at home, adding an extra layer of charm to the overall dining experience. The location of Hello Vietnam is also quite convenient, making it easy to find and access. The restaurant itself is spacious and clean, providing a comfortable and inviting atmosphere in which to enjoy your meal. Whether you're looking for a quick lunch or planning a leisurely dinner with friends and family, Hello Vietnam has you covered. I have had the pleasure of dining at Hello Vietnam twice now, and I can confidently say that I will keep coming back whenever I am in town. The delicious and unique dishes, exceptional customer service, convenient location, and welcoming setting make this restaurant a true standout in the Rockville dining scene. Don't miss the opportunity to experience it for yourself – you will not be disappointed!“

“We randomly stopped by this restaurant and ordered one vegetarian thali and one non-vegetarian thali. Both were delicious, with the flavors and spice level perfectly balanced. The ambience was pleasant and the staff were incredibly friendly and welcoming. We had a great experience and would definitely love to visit again!“

“This is a great cocktail bar that also happens to have pretty good food! The only thing holding this review from being 5 stars is that the owner needs to assign more staff to the Saturday evening shift. There was 25-30 customers between 6:30 and 8pm on a Saturday, but only TWO employees working outside the kitchen. No host, no busser, no server. Just ONE waiter and ONE bartender during prime time dinner hours. The bartender was serving food instead of bartending and the waiter was frantically trying to take orders from 10+ tables. No one was bussing (dirty tables were left unattended until new customers arrived) and you had to find the waiter or bartender in order to get a seat. I hope the owner or manager sees this because I felt so bad for the two staff trying to run the front house of this restaurant on a Saturday night. They were doing their best and deserve more help so they can provide better service to customers.“

“I ended up at the Weathon location just by chance while waiting for an appointment in the area. The place is a counter with few tables located in the Civic Center/Library Hall. Coffee is really good, pastry was fresh and the lady at the counter was polite and kind. Highly recommended“

“The pastry selection at Paris Baguette made it easy to put together a little breakfast spread. We tried the almond croissant, ham and cheese pastry, and a slice of strawberry cake. The croissant had crisp, flaky layers with a sweet almond filling, while the ham and cheese pastry was savory and filling. The strawberry cake was light with just the right amount of sweetness. Everything looked fresh, and the variety made it easy to find something for everyone.“

“This is one of my favorite local - family owned businesses !! Not only are the products absolutely amazing but the family is lovely! Please remember to support local business not only for the holidays but every day. And be sure to visit this great company at local farmer’s markets ! They are often at the markets. The tulsi tea and the orzo are my faves ❤️“

“Delicious ice cream! We ordered double scoop of matcha mochi + honey graham. Honey graham was the best ever. Matcha mochi was amazing as well. The texture was very chewy and not watery, which indicates high quality ice cream. There are also cute candy packets and chips and cards for sale. Will definitely come again!“

“Nice outdoor patio and great service.“

“I was in a training near the 15th Street location of Zeke’s. Found it the first morning and went back every day. Shared my experience with others and we all loved it. A local was amazed at her coffee and will be a regular now. The employees were so kind and remembered my order every single day. Best dirty chai I’ve ever had! Quality coffee. Friendly employees. Great prices.“

“Excelente servicio y el personal muy amable.“

“10/10. Love Love Love. I am a coffee connoisseur and this place is it. 🪭 Matcha also 10/10. Vibes 10/10. Great prices too and environmental friendly products used. Love Love Love. Great service to top it off. Also Queer friendly. 🪭🪭🪭“

“Finally a local Kosher establishment that understands the concept of having high quality coffee and pastries. I couldn't be more pleased.“

“What a welcoming little Ethiopian coffee shop! Once a market, Dire Coffee opened in 2020. Family-owned, Dire Coffee serves Ethiopian coffee beans in all different ways- black coffee, lattes, and more. I ordered the Pumpkin Spice Latte. It came out hot and strong. The woman behind the register, who's the wife of the owner, asked how sweet I wanted my latte. She was very kind!

To eat, they have a variety of food. I ordered one sambusa and it was filled with lentils. It hit the spot!

The space itself is small, but comes with many places to sit. There's a small parking lot out front.“

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

“Very good Dessert , and Rana is a very Sophisticated and respectful person. Finally, I can eat delicious sweets without flying to a very far place. Thank you Rana“

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

“Cute small shop, coffee is good it tasted well and didn’t hurt my stomach after drinking. Only thing was there was a weird smell in the shop like a bathroom but nothing too heavy. Other than this it was a sweet place and sweet lady was friendly“

“great service amazing coffee would definitely come again ☺️“
