Cafes near Glen Echo

“This little bakery sits at the NPS Glen Echo Park site. It features drinks, sandwiches, and, of course, baked goods. I went with a pumpkin cookie and a lemon drop cookie - both amazing. Cost was $3 per cookie, so not the cheapest, but the quality was good and the location was magic. I was there at around 3, so there was not a lot of choices, but, again - those cookies were really good.“

“I love this place! The food is phenomenal! I can’t get over the tempeh burger!!!“

“We had the best time at KooKoo DC last night. They accommodated a table of 14 for my spouse's birthday and never let us feel like an imposition. The food was so fresh, authentic, and reasonably priced - I did a double take when we got the bill. I even felt like we went all-out with apps, drinks, and desserts! The owner was also so kind - we just felt so cared for the whole time and can't wait to visit again.“

“great food and service nice spot“

“We had a great lunch! Highly recommended! 😋😋😋“

“Maman is hands down the best coffee shop in the entire DMV area! Their special coffee flavors are absolutely amazing, offering a unique experience with every sip. The pastries and cookies are equally incredible, fresh, and delicious every single time. The environment is cozy and welcoming, with beautifully decorated interiors that make you feel right at home. Whether you're there to work, relax, or catch up with friends, Maman's ambiance creates the perfect setting. I highly recommend stopping by—you won’t be disappointed!“

“I have came every weekend for a Turkish breakfast for years. My favorite breakfast ever. The family that owns it are the best and makes it feel like you’re right at home 💕💕💕 they have such good lunch and Turkish street food at night too“

“I stopped in with friends before a event Sunday evening. The staff was warm and welcoming. I had the lentil sambusas and a peanut-infused coffee at the staff’s recommendation. The food was fast and delicious- the sambusas were warm and spicy, and the peanut coffee was delicious! In a kind gesture, the chef sent over a sampling of sushi to our table. Fresh and refreshing, the sushi was a nice complement to my sambusas and hot beverage. I’m not on this side of town often, but now I have a reason to come back.“

“I just had an amazing breakfast here! The menu has a great selection of vegetarian options, healthy and so delicious.“

“From the moment I walked in, Layla and Frank made me feel genuinely welcomed. The service was fast, friendly, and you can tell they really care about the experience they’re creating.
The iced latte itself was fantastic, rich, smooth, and clearly made with attention to detail. The atmosphere is warm and inviting and I would definitely visit again!“

“Chocolate pudding 🤤🤤🤤🤤🤤🤤🤤“

“I recently discovered nomtastickim on Instagram and her Asian restaurant reviews. I don't like American food, but I've liked everything I've eaten after seeing her Asian restaurant reviews.
I picked up three items this morning at Morning My Day. The choices were plentiful and tempting. A coconut braid-not too sweet, just perfect for early morning with coffee or tea, a curry pork sung bread that was absolutely hands down delish-heated it in the oven for 5 minutes and ate it with hot sauce, and a purple yam flower bun-delicious but know that the bread consistency might not be what you're used to? It's a very moist dense dough. The lady had a genuinely welcoming smile. The shop was easy to find. I found parking quickly. There is one table, maybe two. It's more of a carry-out place. I will be back.“

“Okay forget Starbucks and paying $7 for a boring latte. Come here- get the pistachio latte and see a work of art presenting as your new favorite coffee. Definitely will be coming back. This was SO delicious.

They also have so much variety of latte (and I happen to be a latte gal). They have Ferrero, Dubai Chocolate, Strawberry Cheesecake, Apple Pie, etc. I had a hard time choosing, but ended up picking up a classic (shoutout to the baristas being patient because I took at least 10 minutes looking through the menu).“

“Amazing place, all four visits have been delicious, and incredible. The dishes are so beautiful they could be in magazines…. But they’re far better in my belly! I absolutely love this place, heading there for the fifth time later today 😊“

“I love going to Toastique! Specially because their customer service has been phenomenal. Once I order the avocado smash toast without chili oil and for some reason it was still spicy and they were so understanding of my allergies that they made me a new one. I highly recommend visiting!“

“best“

“Lovely little cafe hidden away off the main road with amazing coffee. Tldr; if my testament isn’t enough, there is always a line here which more than shows that others besides myself love this coffee shop.

While small, the space is both well utilized and the decorations cleverly thought out. They also host a variety of community events, though I can’t yet comment on those as I’m still waitlisted 🥲.

Overall highly recommend!“

“Excellence everything a great environment, very friendly,“

“stumbled on this spot, was blown away. absolutely delicious“

“Delicious and super staff!“

“Excellent food and the best chai!“

“👏👏👏 One of the Best Coffee spots in Arlington.“

“Food was yummy (breakfast pita) and their chocolate cruffin was even better! My latte was more milk than espresso shots. The service was great and everyone was kind! They did forget one of our food items so I had to ask, but they solved it right away and the worker in charge of calling food helped us find a spot to sit. That being said, the atmosphere is kind of hectic, it was SUPER busy, which this place is popular so it makes sense. Seating is super limited and it seems like they have more people going for food than to sip on a coffee and work so there were a handful of people sitting with laptops at huge tables working while tons of people ordering food didn't have a place. Feels like they need to just kind of lean into what they want to be and have a order first system then get seating. Other than that, inside is a vibe and very aesthetic!“

“The café is very aesthetic, looks really beautiful and is cozy and tidy. The staff is friendly and they have a variety of food options. I had their oatmeal & quinoa bowl, which I personally didn’t like, but that’s my preference. Their matcha on the other hand was good. I will definitely go there again and try other breakfast options🍵✨“

“It is a cool and nice lounge!“

“Okayyy, so we finally went to try Unidos Café at Union Market and honestly… we loved it.

The atmosphere was so good it has that perfect vibe where you can go get some work done, relax for a bit, and enjoy a really good coffee. But what we also loved is that it’s not just coffee. They have amazing food bites, cocktails, and everything we tried was SO good.

It’s literally the perfect mix of cozy café + fun spot to have a chill hang out. Definitely one of those places we know we’ll keep coming back to.“

“Grabbed a smoothie and some wellness shots out of there yesterday. The vibe was perfect and it felt very welcoming.“

“Great food and friendly service! I came hoping for something like the food my grandparents used to make, and they truly delivered particularly with the cheese boreg and yalungee. Very thankful to have them cater a dinner for our visit to DC for a celebration of life. 💜“

“Friendly comfortable environment with great coffee and sandwiches. I don't eat a lot of ice cream, but patrons I've watched really like it.“

“My husband and I found this little spot while out walking . We purchased coffee, bagels and decided to have a scone apiece. The owner and staff are so sweet and you can tell that they love what they do. It will be a regular spot for us to visit.“

“Great value! Delicious food..sandwiches as well as their hot bar! The best place in Tyson's for lunch“

“Decent sandwich and lunch place. Was pretty busy when we stopped in and there wasn’t a ton of help behind the counter. Felt bad for the folks that had been waiting some time while food delivery orders were prioritized.

That said, the food I got was pretty great. The salad was a little too oily but it was priced pretty fairly for the amount of salad I got.

Overall a decent place. Would stop by if I was looking for a safe lunch option.“

“Thank you,Great food with very nice and friendly staff. Love this Lilit cafe“

“Stopped in the have a quick bite ended up having the honor of meeting the young owner Mr Justin . Very knowledgeable hospitable entrepreneur. Service was exceptional, food was fulfilling and down right delicious. It’s been a long time since I had a down home meal in a restaurant setting. Eggs were made to my specifications and the bacon oh the bacon. Thick cut with just the right crunch and crispness. I will definitely return and spread the word“

“good food nice associates“

“very nice 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰 🥐🍇🍕🧁🍫“

“This place was amazing! Thank you to Aster (the owner family) and the chef for this amazing recommendation and preparation. Right amount of taste, protein, and calories!
Tibs kinche (beef with cracked wheat)

Also gave me great recommendations for opportunities and connections!

Can’t wait to come back when I visit again!“

“Very good coffee drinks! Nice atmosphere too.“

“I was heading to an appointment but I could smell the spices in the air. This was a major surprise. Quick service and flavorful food, with a fusion of Habesha and American cuisine. Truly a hidden gem in Silver Spring!!“

“I’ve been a loyal Tatte fan for over 10 years, following them from Boston to DC. The West End location is my favorite in DC—I love the large, airy interior with higher ceilings. Their Pistachio Cherry Tart is my go-to. It's a must-try!“

“Today I had the best fried chicken sandwich since Kevin Tien’s Perfect seasoning—a little heat but not too much, smashed avocado, coleslaw, and chicken that had just the right amount of crispy covering that kept the chicken moist. I can’t wait to return for another.“

“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!“

“My caramel macchiato was delicious 😋“

“As I am quoting my girlfriend in real time: “Tasty Nook is our favorite breakfast spot in Maryland that we’ve ever had! The homemade cooking and intimate atmosphere makes Tasty Nook the coziest nook in Rockville. It is just such a simple pleasure in life. Much love to the staff - will always look forward to visiting 🧑‍🍳💋”“

“Wow, what an amazing place for solo travelers looking for a port in the storm. Gisell was phenomenal! Super knowledgeable about all the products and provided stellar customer service. Amna and David were friendly and helpful. I got the Dragonberry bowl and it was great! Excellent for those who seek gluten-free products. I will most definitely be back.“

“Great food and drinks! Lovely atmosphere! My favorite are the Belarusian and Ukrainian dishes like borscht and bliny. Also, love the light desserts.“

“I was looking for a spot to chill, enjoy coffee, and get some work done on my laptop. Thankfully, I stumbled upon this place. The walnut, chocolate chip cookie was fire 🔥🍪, the orange blossom latte was on point, and the music selection fit the vibe perfectly. Dennis kindly welcomed me from behind the counter as a first time visitor/guest and made me feel welcomed & shared great recommendations.“

“Takoma Bevco has become a Takoma staple. I personally love their espresso, served traditionally with sparkling water. You don't get that hardly anywhere! Food is great, atmosphere is great, and staff are really friendly and provide some of the best service I've gotten in DC!“

“Stumbled upon yesterday when I was picking up from Thai Select. I walked in and almost fell over with the beauty of this pastry/coffee shop. I only had time enough to purchase a S'mores cookie. OH MY WORD! I'll be BACK.“

“Amazing food, always made fresh to order at a family owned and family ran eatery. Home style cooking, great for picking up a quick lunch. Love the quality of the beef and chicken. I order the beef bibimbap rice bowl and the chicken curry with rice dish. Both excellent! Highly recommend!!!“
