50 Best Coffee Shops near Boyds

“If you gather in this place with friends. They have a selection of different flavors of drinks! I love the tapioca babble mango tea!“

“Wonderful coffee and service!“

“Celebrated my birthday at Empress Coffee & Cocktails with my girls, and it was everything! The food and drinks were incredible -- we tried so many dishes and loved every bite. The Persian pizza (a house favorite) was full of flavor, the soup and grilled cheese combo was pure comfort, and the turkey + havarti sandwich, bacon egg croissant, and margarita pizza were all delicious and perfectly done. The drinks? Just wow. The espresso martini is an absolute yes! We also loved the butterfly margarita, lava-shak martini, and Malibu sunset -- all beautifully crafted and fun to sip. Plus, they offer a nice selection of wines and juices to purchase. Shots were order as well. Had too much fun didn't take pictures of all the food and drinks. The space itself is perfect for a girls' day or night out -- stylish and cozy with beautiful lighting and thoughtful décor. We especially loved the artwork of the girl with the pearl earrings -- such a fun and elegant touch! We were lucky enough to have the place to ourselves, which made the whole evening feel extra special. Huge shoutout to Sam, the owner, who was such a warm and welcoming host. Highly recommend this gem for a celebration or a chill hangout. Can't wait to go back!“

“Just tried the chocolate mousse with toffee!! Fantastic-not too rich and the toffee crunch was a bonus. Definitely recommend 👍👍“

“This is my 1st Valentine’s dinner date. We had a pawsome 🐾 time here. It’s the best dog-friendly restaurant in the DMV area. This place is so welcoming paw 🐾 fur babies like me, people are very friendly, the atmosphere and the vibes is so uplifting, food is delicious, and their signature coffee is the best!

“I want to offer a thank you and major hats off to the fine people working at Local’s! I went there for lunch after church and during the power outage today, the staff remained calm and professional and even kept the coffee and pastries flowing! They know what outstanding customer service is and are an asset to the Poolesville community!“

“I’ve been coming to Paris Baguette for breakfast for a while now, usually for a coffee and a piece of cake. Everything is consistently fresh, and it’s a nice place to start the morning.

Everyone here is friendly and welcoming, and the staff provides great service. Germanico in particular always goes the extra mile to make you feel welcome. He’s genuinely nice and always makes the experience a little better.

The only downside is that the prices are a bit high, especially for a simple breakfast. That said, I really enjoy coming here and will definitely keep coming back.“

“Salty dog iced latte so yummy 🤤“

“Me and my friend came here and the food was so tasty! the brocolli cheddar soup was perfect and the sandwich was too! The staff is so kind and there are plenty seating options indoor and outdoor. I don’t live nearby but i will definitely be making the trip again soon just for this amazing place!“

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

“I usually visit the store next to Germantown Library but this store is actually more convenient for me.
All the staff are friendly and warm. Their service is very efficient. Though this store doesn’t have spacious interior area, it’s always clean and cozy.
Love the handwritten notes on the cup.“

“My fiance and I hired this boba shop to serve 100 guests at our wedding and they were phenomenal! Sam was so organized and easy to work with, and the drinks were amazing even for a large event. Our guests are still talking about it! Beautiful setup, friendly staff, seamless service. Could not recommend more for a wedding or any large event. Thank you, Sam and team!“

“My partner and I have frequented this Starbucks location since they came to town, and we've been incredibly pleased by the quality of service and the friendliness of the staff. Heck, the morning crew knows us by name - and yeah, that's likely a sign that we probably spend a little too much time there, but the level of effort that takes isn't a realistic expectation from a quick-service facility, and it makes us feel incredibly special.

Concerning some of the negative reviews, sure, the lines are sometimes long during peak hours, but what would you expect? We've seen this crew absolutely SLAMMED and yet the politeness and the professionalism remains.

I'm glad we have this Starbucks in Damascus and I hope they remain a staple in the community for years to come. Cheers!“

“I came to this Starbucks thinking that I made my order here, I did it at another one…and Sherman walked the extra mile in Customer service and told me that they were doing my order there…that is the reason that I don’t change Starbucks for anything. Sherman was cleaning his area because he was done with his shift and did something that I was not expecting…and I consider OUTSTANDING CUSTOMER SERVICE…thanks Sherman and Jackie…you guys Rock!!!“

“Del, Billy and the team are great. They are knowledgeable about their business, extremely polite and always eager to please. Above all else they know their customers name and always make you feel welcome. Please take the time to visit them.

“COVID-19 compliant. Friendly. Helpful.“

“Just had the best BLT I have ever had in my life… This is hands-down one of the greatest places around!!!“

“I go there all of the Time! They know What I want! Plus it’s Fast!“

“Met a colleague for a coffee and was impressed with the decor and atmosphere. This will be a regular spot for me.“

“Perfect place to hangout. I saw Jesus Christ right here. The smartness and sharpness of associates, a big inspiration for all and sundry.“

“I had time before an appointment and Starbucks was close, what I didn't realize that it was in an outlet mall. I didn't park in the right area, but the walk was nice and I needed the exercise. I ordered a venti Iced Lavender Chai Tea. If you haven't tried, I highly recommend, the perfect amount of sweet. I was able to walk right up and order and I chose to sit outside. Personally the music was a little loud.“

“Perfect place to work. Nice ambiance! Good people around!“

“Awesome staff and great service. Everything was delicious and a big hit with the family. We'll be back for sure!“

“Just had one of the best burgers I’ve had in a while! Everything tasted super fresh — the lettuce was crisp, the bun soft, and the patty was juicy with just the right amount of spice. You can tell it’s made with care, not like your typical fast food. It had that perfect homemade flavor but came out fast, which I really appreciated during lunch. Definitely hitting the spot — fresh, flavorful, and worth coming back for!“

“Best Baristas in town- ESPECIALLY my man Oscar- he makes my mornings!!“

“We’ve been regular customers since well before Neal’s moved to its current location. The bagels are delicious (more New Yorky and flavorful than others in the area) and always fresh. The sliced turkey breast, Nova, and chicken salad are some of our favorites. Lots of other tasty menu items too. Highly recommend!“

“vt ice cold carmel frappuccino“

“Fresh and hot donuts, loved the breakfast sandwiches. Amazing staff quick and very nice people persons. They know what they are doing at this location. Especially Isayana! What a sweet and lovely woman! Helped me quickly and made sure she got my order perfect!“

“El kafe“

“I stop by this Starbucks fairly often on my way to work, and I usually order ahead through the mobile app or pick up my mobile order through the drive through. I also like trying some of the Starbucks drink “hacks” and customized recipes I find online, and I have to give them credit because they usually get even my more complicated orders pretty close to the T.

Service has generally been pleasant, and ordering ahead makes it a convenient stop in the morning. The atmosphere inside is relaxed and seems to attract a slightly older crowd whenever I stop in, which actually gives it a quieter feel.

My only small complaint is that sometimes the drinks seem just slightly off compared with other Starbucks locations. It’s hard to pinpoint exactly what it is, maybe the blending or proportions, but nothing major enough that I wouldn’t come back. Since this is a fairly newer location, it may simply be a matter of consistency.

Overall, it’s a convenient Starbucks with pleasant service, and they do a pretty good job handling customized mobile orders. I’ll definitely continue stopping here on my way to work.“

“Having been to many boba shops across Texas and the DMV, this one stands above the rest. While the drinks, especially the fruit teas, taste amazing, it's the freshness and attention to detail in these drinks that really capture my attention. This location also sells Carmen's, which has some of the most creamy ice cream and rich Italian ice that I've ever tasted. The shop itself is very well-kept and the staff were super warm and welcoming. Overall, I'd recommend this place to anyone looking for a yummy dessert or just a quick refreshment.“

“Our server Mr. John was very great. Even when my card declined, he was nice enough to use his own money to pay for my drink. Tables were prestinctly clear and very sparkling because John wiped it down. Very very good employee please give him a raise. If you ever see him here please give him a big tip for me my card declined so I couldnt tip him. He is the type of person to give 100 bubble teas to the homeless and not make me pay for them. Even when we were playing a game and he was our replacement mock fake player he won even though he was working hard. he was working hard and not hardly working for sure. 😧😂☺️😂🙃👏🙃“

“Which Starbucks ?“

“great Barista! very attentive and it was perfect.“

“This coffee shop is a hidden gem! From the moment I walked in, I was greeted by a cozy atmosphere and the enticing aroma of freshly brewed coffee. The baristas are true experts, crafting personalized coffee delights with beautiful latte art. Their commitment to sustainability is admirable, and the menu offers a wide range of delicious options. It's the perfect place to relax, catch up with friends, or simply enjoy a great cup of coffee. Highly recommended!“

“My lovely spot for coffee👍“

“Just wanted to write a great review for Alex at the drive thru on Friday morning July 10th, he kept great energy and was very patient with the my family in the car while we didn’t know what we wanted! Which I know could be annoying … lol. But he was happy through it all and even told us we looked like a fun car! Anyways thank you for the good laugh in the morning (=“

“! Was a nice casual friendly atmosphere!“

“This Starbucks located in Harris Teeter is very convenient for residents nearby to grab a cup of freshly made coffee.

There are always some seats available and the atmosphere is nice especially when you seat next to the windows.

I usually place an order via the APP in advance. The baristas are very efficient and nice.

Recently Starbucks launched horchata flavor while the horchata foam is not quite impressive.“

“best boba consistently. best variety of flavors & drinks“

“Never had better service in my life at fast food. Came in early morning for my son's bday, decided to go into the store and Chris was so nice and patient. I wish more people are like Chris! came in at 1/10/2026 @ 9:43 if corporate is reading this. Chris deserves a raise!“

“This store has the BEST employees & customer appreciation! It is such a joy to go through the drive thru - multiple times weekly! - to get my daydream refresher and be greeted by the same consistently pleasant employees. There is one young man who has the best smile and always wishes me a wonderful day - regardless of how haphazard or chaotic I appear :) Seriously, if you want great customer service - and FABULOUS daydream refreshers - this is the store to come to. Thanks to all of you! You make my morning SO much easier!“

“Food was good! Had the fried squid 🐙 crispy and seasoned. Nice to have a sauce paired with it ..perhaps fish sauce. Coconut milk to with lychee jello yummy. Service was awesome“
