22 Best Coffee Shops in Bethesda

“Dietary restrictions: Per their website, all food is halal

Kid-friendliness: My husband and I went to celebrate our wedding anniversary. I saw a family with kids there (under the age of 12). I personally would not recommend bringing kids and I wouldn't bring my own until they were late teenagers. The atmosphere and food options are not really kid friendly“

“If you like cookies or any baked item, Levain Bakery is the place to go. Its a bit pricey but worth every penny as the treats are delicious and the cookies...oh the cookies, are thick and full of buttery flavor.
I purchased a blueberry muffin and a oatmeal raisin cookie, and couldn't stop eating the cookie; it was so yummy“

“I got the royal palm, nitro cold brew and a cookie. The sandwich was pretty good, and there was a reasonable amount of salmon on it. The sides/drinks were good. My bagel honestly wasn't great which was surprising coming from a place that sells a lot of bagels. While I would probably go back and/or try some of the other sandwiches, I'm not sure what would bring me here over some of the other bagel places around Bethesda.

Parking: Difficult to find a spot, especially during prime time.“

“This coffee shop is a hidden gem! The moment you walk in, you’re greeted by the warm, inviting aroma of freshly brewed coffee. The staff is incredibly friendly and attentive, making you feel right at home. Their menu has a great variety, from rich espresso to creamy lattes and even delicious pastries. The ambiance is cozy, with comfortable seating and soft lighting, perfect for relaxing or getting some work done. I tried their signature cappuccino, and it was hands down the best I’ve had. Highly recommend this place for anyone looking for a quality coffee experience!”“

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I had a fantastic experience at this amazing place! The coffee was incredible—I had my first amazing latte in a while, and it truly hit the spot. The food was delicious, and everything was beautifully presented. The place was clean, well-organized, and the decor was absolutely stunning—above and beyond what I expected.

Thank you to everyone for the great service and hard work. I’ll definitely be coming back!“

“Nice outdoor patio and great service.“

“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“

“Clearly the best ice cream in downtown Bethesda. Family-run, Argentinian, they have a deep sense of generosity and local love. There is a lot of work and research behind the scene. Most of their ingredients are sourced in a 100-mile radius. Pistachio flavour is to die for, same for mango. Menu is in constant evolution. Push the door. I dare you not to go back!“

“Outstanding coffee! Great service. Awesome ambience.“

“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“

“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.“

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

“Went 2 weeks ago on a Sunday afternoon. I normally purchase online but stopped past since I was in the area. I was greeted immediately by Yanni behind the register. He was extremely nice and welcoming. Sebastian was also welcoming and provided great conversation while he brewed me a sample of the Voltesso.“

“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.“

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

“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“

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

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

“I Absolutely loved Le Pain Quotidien on Old Georgetown! The location is fantastic, making it a perfect spot to enjoy a leisurely meal. It’s a perfect spot to meet friends or bring the family for a quick nice bite.
Their lattes and cappuccinos are simply amazing—so smooth and flavorful, truly reminiscent of European cafés. I also can't get enough of their avocado toast; it's hands down my favorite! The omelettes are delicious, and they offer a fantastic selection of pastries that satisfy any sweet tooth.
Overall, I highly recommend Le Pain Quotidien for anyone looking for a cozy, welcoming atmosphere with outstanding food and drinks. It’s definitely a go-to spot for brunch or a casual gathering with friends.“

“Everything about our visit to Marketplace Cafe in Nordstrom Montgomery mall was fine except the noise level. The restaurant was only about 50% full at best but the noise level was very high. I did not see much in the way of sound dampening finishes and that should be considered.“

“I'm addicted to the Breakfast sandwiches & Italian Roast😊“

“Had the most beautiful coffee moment this morning with Hasifa. She is an elegant and lovely woman. Starbucks is lucky to have her as an ambassador of its business.“
