50 Best Coffee Shops near Derwood

“Sylvia is the best, I typically do walk in because I feel bad being an abled bodied man doing curbside, but she’s so friendly and enjoys the break from the chaos inside! Fast service with a smile.

McDonald’s is McDonald’s but the service makes this location special and I come to this one versus Flower Hill because the safety and food is night and day better.“

“Stellar, and it's clearly because of the staff. The restaurant is clean, staff is attentive, and the food is what you expect. I see the staff wiping down common touch surfaces, looking for customers who might need help, and more that makes you confident in your spending of time and money here. Thanks to the hiring manager and all those they brought onto the team!“

“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!“

“Super adorable family-owned bakery -- they also have a great drink menu and sell some packaged Asian snacks and ice cream too. Everything I've ever ordered here has been delicious but some favorites include: their cream bun (which they fill with cream right when you order it so that it's as fresh as possible and doesn't make the bread soggy), their black sesame mochi bread, and red bean and mochi bread.“

“This is a charming locally owned café that offers exceptionally fresh food and coffee - they roast and grind their own beans on site. The atmosphere is cozy and welcoming and the owners take the time to truly greet every customer of which there are many regulars. I am thrilled to have a wonderful place to go whenever I'm in Bethesda. I've been twice so far and plan to frequent more often ❤“

“This is by far the BEST local coffee in the area the coffee is to die for and the Java burger is the best I ever had in my life Anita ( I think her name is) the cashier/barista is amazing her recommendations for coffee and food are excellent“

“excellent peruvian foood!!!! totally recommend!!!!!! i was very impressed and drove 1.5hrs to try it. worth the drive!!!!!!“

“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!“

“Love the latte flight! And the sandwiches are delicious!“

“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!“

“The coffee is absolutely amazing, reasonably priced, and every single person at Nagadi is delightful and welcoming. But I really miss when they were open on Sundays :-)“

“Good pastries, good coffee drinks and alcoholic drinks. Good venue for music.“

“Found and ordered through uber eats so I can't comment on service nor atmosphere, but the food is delicious! Coconut Bowl and mangonada are my favorite; Pina colada smoothie was not overly sweet which I appreciate. Had he green smoothie which I would have liked some ginger in there. Blend delight was good as well. Highly recommend“

“Wonderful coffee and service!“

“Great food at great car meetup.“

“I ended up at the Weathon location just by chance while waiting for an appointment in the area. The place is a counter with few tables located in the Civic Center/Library Hall. Coffee is really good, pastry was fresh and the lady at the counter was polite and kind. Highly recommended“

“Located in inside new grand market with a small seating area. The staffs were all very helpful and friendly. Bake goods were fresh. I had a cappuccino which for me was ok. But the cream filled strawberry croissant and matcha filled donut was delicious! The milk bread is soft and flavorful. Japanese cheesecake was ok. Also got a strawberry lychee cake to go and that was also delicious! Soft and creamy with just the right amount of sweetness! Nice to be able to do grocery and grab a sweet treat on my way out!“

“Incredible tasting bubble tea with very competitive prices for the area. This shop is in Rockville and there’s practically a bubble tea spot on every corner, but this one is worth your time and money. Kevin, the owner, is a super sweet older Chinese man who takes true pride in his teas. You can taste the love and effort. If you need good quality boba at least once a week like me, then this is the place to go! Thanks Kevin!“

“I am not an egg person. I chose this location cause I saw they had a non egg bagel option. When there, they were out of one of the ingredients so I had to get an egg bagel. BUT IT WAS DELICIOUS. They made me an egg white version of the sandwich which is OFF MENU. Very accommodating and again soooo good even though I generally dislike eggs.

The coffee was delicious. Which is my number one thing.

It was a very cute cafe. It got HOT though because they roasted the coffee beans right there in front of you. Which was also pretty cool to see.

Service was pretty slow. But overall good. Especially considering I ordered off menu.

I really enjoyed it and will definitely be back.“

“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 recently had the pleasure of discovering Hello Vietnam, a Vietnamese restaurant located in Rockville, MD, and it was love at first bite. I cannot sing enough praises about this hidden gem. The standout dish at Hello Vietnam is undoubtedly their "phở thố đá sườn bò". This is hands down one of the most special pho dishes I have ever had the pleasure of savoring. The beef ribs are cooked to perfection, tender and flavorful. The broth is rich and aromatic, and the noodles are perfectly cooked. It is a true symphony of flavors that is both comforting and oh-so-delicious. There are many other options that are as delicious such as “bánh cuốn”, “bánh đúc, “bún bò Huế”, etc. The best part? The prices at Hello Vietnam are incredibly affordable, making this culinary delight accessible to all. Beyond the exceptional food, the customer service at Hello Vietnam is truly top-notch. The staff members are attentive, friendly, and knowledgeable about the menu. They know exactly what is expected of them and go above and beyond to ensure that every diner has a memorable dining experience. Their warm and affectionate demeanor makes you feel right at home, adding an extra layer of charm to the overall dining experience. The location of Hello Vietnam is also quite convenient, making it easy to find and access. The restaurant itself is spacious and clean, providing a comfortable and inviting atmosphere in which to enjoy your meal. Whether you're looking for a quick lunch or planning a leisurely dinner with friends and family, Hello Vietnam has you covered. I have had the pleasure of dining at Hello Vietnam twice now, and I can confidently say that I will keep coming back whenever I am in town. The delicious and unique dishes, exceptional customer service, convenient location, and welcoming setting make this restaurant a true standout in the Rockville dining scene. Don't miss the opportunity to experience it for yourself – you will not be disappointed!“

“I had a wonderful experience at this Indian restaurant! The food was absolutely delicious, full of authentic flavors, and freshly made. The staff were very friendly and welcoming, and their service made the visit even better. The place has a warm and comfortable atmosphere too. I’ll definitely be coming back and highly recommend it to others!“

“First time I visited District Cafe today and the food was absolutely amazing. Friendly staff. Will definitely be back“

“I can see why people want to keep this little spot a secret. Tucked away on a side street this unassuming coffee shop is a real gem.

I got a caramel latte and one of the creme donuts and the coffee impressed me at the first sip. Really smooth, not bitter and perfect sweetness. The donut was a perfect accompaniment. Service was attentive and quick.

I'll definitely be back.“

“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!“

“Finally a local Kosher establishment that understands the concept of having high quality coffee and pastries. I couldn't be more pleased.“

“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 pastries! The fruit/berry pastries and mochi donuts are my go-to and my husband loves all the varieties of croissants. The coffee can be hit and miss (sometimes the flavorings they put in their specialty lattes are a tad overpowering) but they're good enough that I will keep ordering them. Staff is always great, too. Very friendly and they work hard to make sure the displays are full and fresh.“

“I’m from SEA & PJs beat my high coffee standards! Great beignets - like yummiest thing at Pike Place X3. Good on a warm afternoon, but when it’s 40° and raining, that chicory-smoke-roast will restore the soul. 10/10.“

““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“

“Java nation offers a u due array of food options ranging from traditional breakfast to Latin fusion and even smoothies, with a standard array of coffee types. The food was tasty - I’ve had the breakfast sandwich and pancakes before and today we got a a chicken shawarma-type pita special. Filling, tasty and unique! Also got a crepe and pancakes for kids, who enjoyed them. The main issue was the pricing of some menu options and how they get you to just pay for it if you don’t check them. I was asked if I wanted French fries or chips - I preferred the fries but then noticed when she rung me up they cost $4! Which was absurd and not made clear. I also picked up a Diet Coke can - a 7.5 oz one (the only Diet Coke option) only to find out that would have been $4.50! That is even more absurd- it wasn’t even a full 12 oz can. I opted for the $5 cold brew, which seems like the going rate (maybe in the slightly higher side). The food was good and I’d return but would be kk soul of what I’m ordering.“

“Thank you Mitchell Wool and The Bean Bag for delivering 25 boxed lunches for the staff and helpers at Herbert Hoover Middle School! Your yummy stuffed sandwiches, chips, and cookies were a welcome treat during our materials distribution day. Prompt, courteous delivery was well appreciated! Thanks again for serving our community!“

“absolutely loved this crepe spot! The crepes were so tasty, fresh, and beautifully presented — you can really tell they’re made with care. The ambiance was calm and peaceful, making it the perfect place to relax and enjoy something sweet. The combination of fresh fruit, Nutella, and whipped cream was just perfect. Definitely a place I’ll be coming back to again and again! 🥰“

“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 .“

“Excelente servicio y el personal muy amable.“

“Stopped by after leaving kaldes’s needing coffee and simple breakfast. Took one step in the door heard a greeting from the back welcome sir- my kinda place. Eclectic pleasant interior with simple breakfast menu really nice fresh hot coffee. I got a scrambled egg bacon cheese on toast, croissant perfect just what I needed bonus some fruit and salad on the side please this young couple they’ve only been open a few days and are trying hard.“

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

“I really enjoy with with Matcha drink tonight“

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

“I just want to give a huge shout out to the team members working on 11/14/25 through the morning rush! It was 9 of them unfortunately couldn't get any names because I didn't want to interrupt their flow. The place was packed! It was really rush hour in there! However they managed to greet everyone coming in and wishing a great day to everyone leaving. What an experience! What a motivation they are! Every single staff member was working beyond hard fast and smooth all at once! Impressive! Truly team players! Thank you all for making my experience so smoothly and loving on a Friday morning. Happy Holidays! Go Starbies!!!!❤️“

“We were in the mood for some dessert and came across Grandma's Ice Cream and Waffles. I had the vegan chocolate milk shake and my friend had the vegan waffle ice cream...all topped with vegan cream. No question a 10 out of 10. So many vegan options: breakfast, lunch/dinner and desserts. Now one of my go to restaurants. Big Bruno“

“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.“

“This is one of my favorite local - family owned businesses !! Not only are the products absolutely amazing but the family is lovely! Please remember to support local business not only for the holidays but every day. And be sure to visit this great company at local farmer’s markets ! They are often at the markets. The tulsi tea and the orzo are my faves ❤️“

“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.“

“At Xiomara suggestion, I ordered El Granseza sandwich for the first time , the very melted mozzarella cheese is super delicious and the red chilly has a great flavor touch.the service is awesome.Definitely I’ll comeback and also recommend it to my friends thanks Xiomara.“
