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

“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 👍👍“

“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!“

“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.“

“I myself currently work at the Starbucks in Frederick off monocacy blvd. Whenever I travel to Damascus to visit my boyfriend I end up visiting this location. A lovely group of people, very friendly. The inside always looks so clean and organized too when I come in the store, which can be very hard to do especially when it gets busy. Thank you guys for your amazing service from one barista to another ❤️.“

“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.

“Always awesome! Can’t say enough! Great campaign sub office!“

“Black sesame cake is delicious 😋“

“Stopped by Paris Baguette - Germantown and had a really good experience. Claudia helped me out and she was honestly just great. She made everything feel easy and welcoming.

You can tell when someone actually enjoys helping customers, and that was definitely the vibe.

Also, the cinnamon churro croissant was so good — warm, buttery, and perfectly sweet with that cinnamon flavor. I loved it.

I’ll definitely be coming back.“

“Joseph was a very kind worker i had spilled and it was all over the floor and he kindly told me he was to not worry about it and that things happen it made me feel better and was kind enough to remake me another drink id most definitely come back here again :).“

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

“COVID-19 compliant. Friendly. Helpful.“

“Strawberry Skies Latte is the drink of the summer! I never would have thought I’d enjoy a strawberry latte, but this was so refreshing and delicious I had to write a review. The strawberry is purée is sweet and tart. It taste fresh and high quality. Now I need to try a strawberry matcha.“

“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!“

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

“This is a very nice location, and the drive thru is a great convenience. Everyone here is always super nice, particularly one gentleman on the headset who always sounds extra excited to be there. Sometimes the wait can be a little long, but that is to be expected when you're going during peak hours.“

“vt ice cold carmel frappuccino“

“El kafe“

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

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

“Which Starbucks ?“

“Nice—that’s a *serious* drink order 😄 Let’s elevate your review and weave those details in so it sounds intentional and impressive:

There’s something unforgettable about a drink that’s made *exactly* right—and today, that moment belonged to Starbucks.

I ordered a venti iced caramel latte with blonde espresso, 6 pumps of caramel, 2 pumps of vanilla, extra caramel drizzle, and sweet cream foam—and somehow, it was executed to absolute perfection. The balance was flawless: rich but not overwhelming, sweet without losing the smooth depth of the espresso. Every layer worked in harmony.

What stood out most was the precision. This wasn’t just a drink thrown together—it was crafted with care, attention, and a clear sense of pride. It’s rare to see that level of consistency and intention, especially with a customized order.

Whoever made this deserves“

“Lovely family owned business. The cookies are amazing and the service is wonderful. Love supporting a “mom and pop”.“

“My lovely spot for coffee👍“

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

“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.“

“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!“

“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!“

“! Was a nice casual friendly atmosphere!“

“Excelente sitio para desayunar y compartir sus ricos dulces con toda la familia.“

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

“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!“

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

“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.“

“I seem to always go early in the morning and I'm either by myself in line or with one other car. The service is always good and the donut quality is consistent. I have had bad experiences with rude staff in Rockville and other locations, I have never had any experiences like that here in the 10 or so times I have visited.“

“Nicest Dunkin’ I have ever been to. They don’t make em like this in New York. Large store on the corner with comfortable seating inside and on the patio, in the morning shade. Very busy, very clean location. Would have been quicker if I hadn’t ordered ahead, but the wait was not too bad. App orders are placed on shelves in front of the counter for pick up, which is something that wouldn’t make it New York, either. Coffee hot and fresh, doughnuts delicious. Bathrooms available. Accessible ♿️.“

“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. 😧😂☺️😂🙃👏🙃“

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