“DELICIOUS CHAI LATTE!!

I am a chai latte lover and their ultimate chai latte is something you can’t miss! It’s sweet with the aroma of vanilla and has a nice warm taste that soothes your body! Don’t miss on it. The best in DMV, do not remove your ultimate chai, you’re onto something here. I’ve been going around DMV to find strong and good chai latte. Ever since I went to Hawaii I can’t find something strong and delicious chai latte

Oh can I say the ham and cheese croissant with the Italian herb on top is just SO delicious! They toast it fresh for you and the croissant is buttery and soft. Most croissant places would be hard and left out for a while. I am satisfied with the quality.

I felt their almond croissant is ok, I like mine a bit sweeter, maybe add sweet almond paste in the middle and fill it a bit more! It tasted like a regular croissant with just white sugar on top with almond pieces.

Customer: fast and quick to process orders
Price: worth every penny!

They have tables for you to dine or patios outside. They have wifi for you to work if you want a good morning work session in. Would come here again, love it here

They have free parking everywhere since it’s in a plaza“

“This was my 3rd visit to Barking Mad! I love the atmosphere, and I have enjoyed everything that I have ordered there. The waiters are extremely efficient and personable. Oh! Since I am an avid animal lover,I love that pets can be outside on the patio!!“

“Great coffee, friendly staff. What more could you want in a coffee shop.“

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

“Very good food and the manager Mr. Louis Anand is very pleasant and courteous. I tried their weekend specials and regular menu items and the food is delicious. I frequently dine in this restaurant. And I recommend this restaurant.

Vegetarian options: Thalia meals, vegetables curries and side dishes.“

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

“Visited the newly opened Tapioca Express in Herndon today. Enjoyed their boba and was surprised they had so many snack options!! Favorites were the shrimp tempura with sweet chili sauce and the fried string beans. They didn’t seem very fried which is good in my book. Nicely seasoned too. Their crispy chicken was also good we were able to choose the spice level and I went with medium which was perfect. The chichi fries were great… love the chichi sauce that comes with it! As for drinks I loved the Mangonada. It was so beautiful and delicious for how hot and humid it was outside. Also enjoyed the honeydew snow bubble and combination yogurt frost which tasted similar to a Greek yogurt parfait with fruit. The staff was very friendly, the space is cute but small more of a to-go and enjoy outside type of place. They do however have a high top table if you’re able to snag it! Definitely coming back to try more of their menu soon!“

“Great food and friendly service with plenty of seating both inside and out! It's a bit pricey but the food quality more than makes up for it.

The food here is excellent. I've had the cuban, the santiago bowl, and the empanadas which were all excellent. The variety and changing menu during the seasons is a nice touch. For drinks, they have a good selection of cafes and smoothies along with cocktails. The miami sunset and mojitos are worth trying!

Parking: It's a free lot out front but the parking center tends to be busy and can be hard to find a spot in front of the shop.“

“This cafe has the yummiest treats and delicious coffees with all the fixins! Cutest location right next to the Gaithersburg Train Station and Community Museum. Plenty of seating inside and out on benches. We were here on the prettiest fall day.“

“Great food at great car meetup.“

“The food is always amazing and the staff makes you feel like family!“

“I walked in few times this month, I was welcome by gentleman behind the counter, and he had outstanding customer service, and food is worth the price, there is few food I think overprice. I enjoy come in here. I will recommend anyone to stop by buy foods and/or drinks.“

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

“I am extremely in love with this place, I come with my family and always with friends.

I am always very well attended, the employees are always cheerful and attentive.

Kid-friendliness: My daughters love this place ✨“

“Love this store. Always friendly atmosphere. The barista, Elisabeth I believe, kept a conversation with me while making my drink, asking for my foam preferences and temperature, because I told her I had a long day ahead of me. She wanted to ensure my drink stayed warm throughout my day. She smiled and wished me a wonderful day. I hope her manager thanks her on my behalf. She is one of the few baristas that keep up the customer care aspect of Starbucks that has been unfortunately dwindling.“

““I could not be happier with my Drinks and food that I ordered Jayce was very nice and attentive with my order if she was not there that Starbucks would not be same as good as it is I even drove 10 more minutes than the Starbucks that is close to my just to come and have a good costumer service thanks“

“clean bright super friendly yummy ice cream and they even have food! we met grandma and she was a shiny happy generous lovely woman. Definitely recommend! they have vegan too!“

“I really enjoy with with Matcha drink tonight“

“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!!!“

“COVID-19 compliant. Friendly. Helpful.“

“Everything this great about this place - but the consistency of drinks at this Starbucks. The location, nestled in the middle of Potomac Village and sitting in a large courtyard, provides ample space. The service is what you'd expect from Starbucks, however, the consistency of drinks simply isn't there. Perhaps because not only is there no Starbucks around for miles (I know - that's shocking), but there isn't any other coffee/meeting place around either. So, this place is busy - we all have nowhere else to go.
It has a captive market so perhaps that's why the drinks are up and Down. Please note - the drinks aren't always bad, but the % of times l've had a bad drink here is much higher than any other Starbucks I've been too.“

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

“My husband and I go to this location often, I want to thank Julissa for being such a great listener , very professional and such a great customer service!. Yesterday, I went to get a drink which at first was wrong not because they messed up my order but because I didn't know the exact name of my drink I just new it was the " Lavender drink". Julissa tried to find out which drink was the one I wanted and in the middle the supervisor Diarra came in and help out so we could really find out what was the drink I wanted. They worked as a team and also educated me with the name of my favorite drink!. Thank you Diarra and Julissa for taking the time and patience to help with my order!. Keep up your great service!!!“

“My first time in. I got the Turkey Gouda Panini and PB Banana Brew. Both delicious! Super friendly staff. Will be back soon!“

“Jian and her employees are awesome. Place has unique stuff. And some of the best cheesecake I’ve had with the peach parfait. And the coffee is great. I Love this place.“

“First time coming here and the service is amazing! The matcha and sunrise recommendations from Julissa were right on time, just what I needed for a midday pick me up. Everyone in the shop is super friendly and accommodating and overall a really welcoming energy. Great vibes and I can’t wait to come back and support. ~Rachel “

“It's a good Starbucks...I don't think I've ever had a bad drink here -- hot or cold. It's looks to be a neighborhood meeting place. The baristas are always friendly. It can get pretty busy...but I've also been just first or second in line.I didn't give the food any marks because I've not really gotten food here...looks like the standard SB fare... I might've gotten the lemon pound cake ages ago.“

“My lovely spot for coffee👍“

“This is Samita Sakhi Ishita from Dhaka. Bangladesh. Today I lost my Wallet at the mall. may be someone intentionally took it from my backpack and also used my debit card (Bank of America) at Nordstrom. I had some very important ID cards, visiting cards and few cash in that wallet. It was pink in color. If someone finds out it, kindly please give to the mall security 🙏 it will be great help. I hope I would get my IDs' back. please 🥺 thanks in advance“

“The Tumeric Latte, Pear Chocolate Croissant and Banana Almond Toast were excellent“

“Busy place, we received our requests promptly and found chairs enough for our party of five. Had a great time.“

“The best chai latte! Great morning to sit out and enjoy!“

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

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

“Great with kids. Delicious donuts. Good and quiet when I visited.

Vegetarian options: Not necessarily vegan, but you can certainly find a vegetarian donut!

Kid-friendliness: They made a donut just so my kid could watch. We also bought one of their little ducks for $1 - kid picked it out.“

“I LOVE STARBUCKS I GET A PUP CUP AND EVERYBODY LOVES ME“

“Great menu and food. Love the live music. Atmosphere is terrific. Wait staff are lovely.“

“I love the peppermint mocha.“

“Thank you Starbucks for recognizing our veterans and their spouses with complimentary coffee today. Much appreciated. Annie“

“Atmosphere: very nice, modern, clean, ample seating, big window

Service: maybe it was a newer partner but we ordered a cinnamon cream nitro cold brew but they mistaken made a regular cinnamon caramel cold brew and charged for an extra shot (similar but wrong). I mentioned that it’s wrong and they immediate apologized and would make me the right one and I can keep the wrong one which is already great. But I’ve been going to Starbucks for 10+ years and for the first time, when they gave me the right drink, they also gave me $8 in service recovery coupon card (I was confused cause they already gave me the right drink) but 10/10 service.“

“The BEST coffee and wonderful staff. I love this place!“

“I popped into BobaPop and tried their Oolong Milk Tea with 30% sugar, and it was just right for someone like me who doesn’t like things too sweet. The tea had a nice, deep flavor, and the lower sugar level let it shine without being overpowering.

The boba was spot-on—soft but still chewy enough to be fun. Every sip was super satisfying, with the boba adding a nice texture to the creamy tea.

The staff here is super friendly, which adds to the chill vibe of the place. It’s a great spot to relax in the afternoon by the town center or even to get some studying done.“

“Which Starbucks ?“

“I go to Starbucks a lot and it is at least a consistent way to get a good cup of coffee but there is a big difference between the stores. I was pleasantly surprised by the attention to detail they gave to my order and blown away by how fast they made it!“

“Great coffee great service great atmosphere I love everything about going there“
