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.“

“This McDonalds has one of the much better customer service. I almost never go to a McDonald’s but I am on a hunt to collect all the new happy meal toys. This is one of the FEW McDonald’s whose workers won’t get fed up with you for simply asking what the daily toy numbers are, for this reason I keep going back.“

“Charming bakery and café with a good assortment of baked goods and bubble tea. Everything we've had here has been fantastic and affordable. It's a family run place too which is always better than a chain. Hope this place gets the business it deserves.“

“Had an amazing lunch at Ala Bethesda! The short ribs were tender and full of flavor, and the hummus was some of the best I’ve had. The space was cozy and inviting, and the service was friendly and attentive. A perfect midday treat — can’t wait to go back!“

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

“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!”“

“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“

“La Gelatteria has a vast variety of coffee, gelato, and cafe food. Service is always fast and friendly. Clean and modern, it provides a welcoming, cozy feel. The best brunch in MoCo!“

“Great food at great car meetup.“

“First time here and it was nothing short of amazing. We tried a bunch of different items and we enjoyed all of them. We also ordered the butter pecan latte with oat milk and it was great. Everything was high quality. Highly recommend. 10/10.“

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

“Nice ambience, friendly staff and vegan croissant and pumpkin/carrot cake that actually taste nice. Let’s not get carried away, it’s not as nice as a really good French croissant made with butter, but that’s probably impossible. Several other vegan options for breakfast like avocado toast and breakfast bowls. No English breakfast tea or soya milk, but they did have Earl Grey and several other types of non-dairy milk. I will definitely be back next time I’m in the area.“

“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“

“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“

“Where do I start…this restaurant fired on all cylinders and I walked out with full satisfaction. I shared the awaze tibs and five veggies with two friends. The flavor was off the charts and the presentation of the food was so clean and organized. The spice level was just right. The prices are very fair for the portion of food. The customer service is top-notch and the lady at the counter and in the kitchen will treat you like family. If you’re in the DMV area, you need to come here and bring friends. Will definitely be coming back.“

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

“What a meal! We only ordered three things — garlic naan, chicken tikka masala, and chicken biryani — but it felt like a feast. The naan was soft and fluffy, the tikka masala was insanely tasty, and the biryani? Flavor bomb! Totally hit the spot.“

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

“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!“

“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!

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

“Nice outdoor patio and great service.“

“Greeted by the sweetest woman behind the counter! Came here on a Friday afternoon and there was no line. Ordered a few drinks that were only about $5 each, boba included! Generous portions of boba included, and even though the milk teas are powdered it is a very nostalgic taste. Will be back to support them next time I’m in Rockville!“

“Absolutely delicious place! I had the turkey on ciabatta sandwich and the Parmesan cheesecake with figs. Both outstanding! Never had a savory cheesecake before and I will definitely be back for more! They were also so friendly and made my sandwich super fast“

“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.“

“Excellent speciality coffee. Friendly staff. If you want to up your knowledge of coffee and taste better coffee go visit them.“

“Salty dog iced latte so yummy 🤤“

““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“

“I ❤️ Java Junction ^0^
Cute, cozy, and convenient with a touch of Korean home ㅎㅎㅎ! You can just feel the love and care that they put in there food 😌 like they put put coffee ice cubes in your coffee🧊!

My rec: iced mocha (a must), green smoothie, ANY of the in-house sandwiches and breakfast sandwich’s!

Love going here in the summer theirs outdoor seating near a fountain!“

“Absolutely divine!

Went here a few weeks ago to catch up with a friend and their crepes were so fresh and delicious. I still remember the taste after all these weeks haha!

Also, the picture of the owners (I assume) in front of the eiffel tower is absolutely adorable. Props to the staff, so attentive and kind.

Hope to be back soon!“

“It has a lovely and relaxing atmosphere. The owner is really friendly. I ordered a smoked salmon sandwich, which came on a bagel with salad and chips. Both were great. It costed $11.36, final total, which is a good price. I'd highly recommend Zed's Café.“

“I really enjoy with with Matcha drink tonight“

“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.“

“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 ❤️“

“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“

“I absolutely love visiting Colada at Cabin John Village—it’s truly one of my favorite spots! The service is consistently amazing every single time I go. The team is always friendly and welcoming, and you can feel the positive energy as soon as you walk in.

I have to give a special shout-out to Enya and Melissa—they go above and beyond to make every experience exceptional. Whether it’s remembering your order, offering the perfect recommendation, or simply greeting you with a smile, they make you feel genuinely valued as a customer.

If you’re looking for great coffee, delicious bites, and the kind of service that brightens your day, Colada is the place to be. Thank you, Enya and Melissa, for always making my visits so special!“

“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 ✨“

“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.“

“I love coming here. From the staff to the food, everything is amazing. Food is always fresh and delicious with plenty of healthy options. Mitch & Kenny do an excellent job taking care of their customers. The cookies are better than crumbl.“

“A hidden gem in downtown Rockville, near the metro station and town center. Their brewed coffee is very good (though I wish they'd let customers add milk themselves) and the freshly prepared foods are also excellent. (I can recommend the parfait and the quinoa-butternut squash salad.) The cafe is counter-service with an airy, light-filled sitting area; very pleasant atmosphere and solid wifi. One cashier is a little brusque but the other staff are extra friendly.“

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

“Delicious pastries and coffee, great vibe“

“The first time I went to Levain Bakery ... I was in the Georgetown location, and I was concerned that this spot wouldn't be as good because you know, how could it be?

But let me tell you the Levain Bakery skills transfer ... These people can bake... I have never had a cookie like this... they are sooo delicious 🍪👩🏾‍🍳... I wish we had one of these in my town. The cookie is almost as big as a biscuit and the chocolate chip to cookie ratio is unbelievable.... It's quite amazing. I will never be afraid to walk into this store, no matter the location... Go there and eat all the delicious baked goods, you might need to hit the gym or fast the next day, but wow it's worth it no matter what!!!“

“Great Ethiopian coffee and general coffee and chai, plus treats like pastries and even pupusas.Great location: inside the community center which is home to a bookstore, library and common areas where you can relax, wifi and eat and drink.Excellent and friendly service.“

“We love them so much! We had them for our wedding and they remain a highlight of the night. They were communicative start-to-finish, and really curated an experience that was meant for us. If you're looking for a boba place to cater one of your events....look no further! Thank you so much for an unforgettable experience!“

“Excelente servicio y el personal muy amable.“

“Black sesame cake is delicious 😋“

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

“Loved this experience! We saw this place the first nice we were here there was a line outside the door and it peaked my curiosity. What was so good about this gelato! We cameback after dinner on Saturday. The inside was gorgeous I grabbed the most popular flavor the hazelnut crackle which was so delicious! Overall the portion size for the small was really good. Definitely recommend this place!“

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

“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.
