23 Best Coffee Shops in Bethesda

“Wow! What a fantastic place! I didn't expect much coming in for a business meeting, but both the atmosphere and food was just amazing!
Interior design is so well done - all the details are impressive, as well as a general look and feel.
And food... mmm.. food was 10 out of 10. 2 light dishes, dessert, tea and cocktail - everything was simply delicious! All the tastes in each dish are perfectly combined!
Service was average, but the other two components compensated fully for it.
I strongly recommend and I will definitely come back soon!“

“Cannot speak more highly about this place. When I came in, I introduced myself to the owners and they treated me like I was an honored guest. I saw them give the same treatment to other patrons.

They were very helpful in getting me to choose from the menu. When they heard I came from out of town, they advised me to try the cro’gel (croissant bagel) that you only get in Maryland and recognizing my interest in different foods, recommended me the kouin amann. They also guides me through my matcha choice and advised on the best temperature for it.

If I lived in the area, I would surely be a regular here!“

“Heidy was amazing!! She was really patient, we had a party of 7 and unfortunately we didn’t all get there at the same time. She gave us recommendations and didn’t rush us at all. She was very funny and nice. The food was fresh and good. This was the elisa's mediterranean harvest bowl. Would recommend!“

“Nice outdoor patio and great service.“

“I normally don't write reviews, but the red velvet cake with cheesecake frosting is DELICIOUS!!! Highly recommend 10/10 ,it was nice and moist and not super sweet like others!! The customer service was great. Will definitely be back!!“

“Fantastic group meal at Beth’s tonight! Staff was very welcoming and greeted our group promptly. As a larger group we wanted to try a variety of delicious items and shared them together. We ordered one of each of the Bites menu items. My favorite was the Old Bay Shrimp! 😍🍤 - dessert was delicious and cocktails well crafted. Approachable menu and eclectic environment .“

“its very good but it could definitely use some nugget ice since the ice they already have is just horrible in every aspect, its not enjoyable to chew on and it completely changes the taste of the drink, nugget ice is definitely the move and should be a must for every starbucks“

“Amazing bakery. All the cookies I had were super high quality even after I ate them a day later in the microwave. These cookies are very tall, with a warm soft center and crunchy exterior. I got the regular chocolate chip, which has a lot of chocolate chips. I also got the rocky road and Caramel coconut chocolate chip cookie which were both also great. High price but even higher quality and value. Highly recommend this place if you’re in the area.“

“Love this location. Feels like the tv show CHEERS!“

“Had a great time here. So many selections and fashion lines to choose from . I’ll be ha k .“

“southern and northern Italian specialty foods. Chef Ettore the best!“

“Authentic and delicious. Pistachio and gianduja were just as good as anything I had in Italy. My daughter's coconut and my wife's dark chocolate fudge were both great. We bought a pint of black sesame to take home- also fantastic. Sweetness is just right, smooth and creamy. Absolutely worth stopping by if you're in Bethesda Row, or just in search of superior ice cream.“

“Outstanding coffee! Great service. Awesome ambience.“

“A friend and I had dinner at Nordstrom Market Place at Montgomery Mall (Bethesda, MD) on Saturday, 1/18/2025. The dinner was exceptional. From the Chef's Selection menu, I chose the braised beef ragu served with cheese tortellini, and it was outstanding. I swear the tortellini tasted like it was made fresh just for me - it literally melted in my mouth. The braised beef was cooked to perfection. The ragu sauce, with chunks of tomato and spinach, was delicious. My friend had the tomato basil soup and a beautiful salad and said both were delicious. We had a 6 pm reservation but it wasn't needed as the restaurant was not crowded. On a scale of 1-5 (5 belong difficult to converse with others at your table), I give this restaurant a 0.5 - the room was peacefully quiet. We had no problem conversing with each other and there was no background music coming through the speakers. Staff were attentive and pleasant. I highly recommend this cozy restaurant and plan to return very soon.“

“Speaking from a doordash customer.

First food was fresh on arrival and delicious. Pleasantly surprised as I've been catfished by restaurants on doordash before. The only down side is the packaging for certain foods that can get soggy. I ordered brioche French toast with baked apples and some sort of cream already assembled and maple syrup already on it. You should invest in smaller containers to have these items on the side so that the French toast doesn't absorb everything or get too soggy before it arrives. Other than that everything else was great.“

“I recently stopped by La Colombe Coffee Roasters in Bethesda, and it was an absolute delight. The aroma of freshly roasted coffee beans filled the air, creating a cozy atmosphere. The baristas were friendly and knowledgeable, and the coffee they served was simply exceptional. I highly recommend trying their specialty blends for a truly memorable coffee experience.

Parking: It depends at what time you willvisit this place“

“Since my spouse worked at Clyde's, her father has always enjoyed the Quartermaine Clyde's blend. Without fail- we pickup 2 lbs of Clyde's Blend to send him every year, and the staff generously provides a free small coffee while we wait for them to bag the beans.“

“I ended up getting a coffee, panini, and a donut after 31 tubes of bloodwork. You’ll find this gem right around the corner of Phlebotomy, floor 1. Espresso machines, limited but well-selected types of pastries, microwave, seating area — what else can you ask for

Order (~$16)
(iced) Hazel “Oat” Toffee Crunch Latte: top tier, made with a true espresso machine, theres little pieces of the crunch mixed in it. so. good. 100/10
(I’m a coffee person)

Devil Chocolate Cake donut: glazed outer layer, spongy cake-like middle layer, and brownie inner layer. I promise you wont regret this one. 9.5/10
(try it warmed up)

Cold Cut Panini (Italian): If you’re not in the mood for it, it’ll taste pretty ordinary, but nothing bad about that either. I enjoyed it, solid bite, 7/10“

“Ok...the manager (K) and salesperson (J) were FABULOUS!! It's because of their customer service, knowledge and being personable that made my sister and I stay long and buy more...smh..uughh..to angst we go through for great coffee in a pleasant welcoming space!! Please run to this location and stay and chat with the manger K while J brews you a wonderful new holiday limited edition blend...they dont mind how long you stay and be social!“

“Beautiful salads and sandwiches. Extremely fresh. Prices are reasonable. A large chef salad is $6.25, dressing included, a Ham & Swiss on Croissant is $5.70. Coffee is fresh and hot and delicious with a lot of choices and much less expensive than the coffee shop that starts with an "S". I haven't tried them, but the great variety of breakfast baked goods looks fantastic too. Immaculately clean.“

“Was not planning to have a hot chocolate on an 83^ day, but thought I would get something in their wheelhouse. Wow! Just amazing. Like drinking liquid chocolate. Never had a real hot chocolate before, but was really impressed. Cool spot inside and out.“

“they make my semi-difficult drink to perfection!!!“

“I have been here several times, I feel I should leave a review. The place is super friendly, I got a welcome smile when I entered, was given ample time to make my choices, and boy there are many choices, was amazed by what I purchased, will defiantly come back again to try something new.“
