“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!“

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

“I had a wonderful experience at Paris Baguette. The bakery was clean, welcoming, and filled with an amazing selection of pastries, cakes, breads, and coffee. Everything looked fresh, and the quality definitely matched the presentation. Paris Baguette is known for its handcrafted pastries, breads, cakes, and specialty drinks, and my visit lived up to that reputation.

The staff was friendly and patient while I decided what to order, and my food was delicious. The pastries were light, flavorful, and not overly sweet, and the coffee paired perfectly with them. The atmosphere was cozy and made it a great place to relax, catch up with friends, or enjoy a quiet treat.

I’ll definitely be back to try more items from their menu. Highly recommend for anyone looking for quality baked goods and a pleasant café experience! 🍰☕🥐“

“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!“

“We randomly stopped by this restaurant and ordered one vegetarian thali and one non-vegetarian thali. Both were delicious, with the flavors and spice level perfectly balanced. The ambience was pleasant and the staff were incredibly friendly and welcoming. We had a great experience and would definitely love to visit again!“

“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 had such a wonderful experience at Paris Baguette today, thanks to Mayleen.

I came in hoping to buy a specific cake for my girlfriend’s stepmother’s birthday, but unfortunately the last one was purchased by the couple right in front of me. I was honestly pretty disappointed.

Mayleen immediately recognized how disappointing the situation was and handled it with such kindness, empathy, and professionalism. She sincerely apologized, took the time to make me feel valued as a customer, and even went above and beyond by offering me slices of another delicious cake as a thoughtful gesture.

It’s rare to come across someone who genuinely cares about a customer’s experience the way she did. While I didn’t leave with the cake I originally wanted, I left impressed by the outstanding customer service I received. Employees like Mayleen are exactly why people become loyal customers.

Thank you, Mayleen, for turning what could have been a disappointing visit into such a positive experience. Paris Baguette is fortunate to have you on their team!“

“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 ❤️“

“Black sesame cake is delicious 😋“

“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.“

“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.“

“My partner and I have frequented this Starbucks location since they came to town, and we've been incredibly pleased by the quality of service and the friendliness of the staff. Heck, the morning crew knows us by name - and yeah, that's likely a sign that we probably spend a little too much time there, but the level of effort that takes isn't a realistic expectation from a quick-service facility, and it makes us feel incredibly special.

Concerning some of the negative reviews, sure, the lines are sometimes long during peak hours, but what would you expect? We've seen this crew absolutely SLAMMED and yet the politeness and the professionalism remains.

I'm glad we have this Starbucks in Damascus and I hope they remain a staple in the community for years to come. Cheers!“

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

“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!!!“

“I love this Starbucks! The staff was always great, my drink was always made perfectly. Lived here for 2 years and I miss yall 🥺 nobody makes my drink right now days, so I just had to come back and give yall a shoutout! Yall are appreciated 🫶🏾“

“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.

“COVID-19 compliant. Friendly. Helpful.“

“I realize it's a Dunkin but major shoutout to the young man that made me a great coffee ten minutes before close. It was an awful day and I cannot express enough how much I appreciate the respite of a coffee. Thanks and I hope you always only hit green lights on your commute 🙌🏻“

“Quality of teas and toppings are amazing. I got the passion fruit green tea and it was nice and refreshing. The staff are very welcoming and always ready to answer questions and provide support. 10/10 experience will definitely be returning.“

“커피와 디져트 훌륭합니다. 베이글에 여러가지 토핑도 가능하고 정성스러움이 보이는 집입니다. 커피맛도 좋았고. 반려견들을위한 배려도 느낄수 있었습니다!“

“I’m visiting family here from Canada, and while searching for a local breakfast spot, this Dunkin’ in Olney, Maryland happened to pop up. I don’t usually leave reviews, but after this experience, I felt compelled to share it.

The food was excellent, but what truly stood out was the exceptional customer service. Good food can be found almost anywhere, but genuine kindness and heartfelt hospitality are rare. That’s what made this experience unforgettable.

Waseem, the team leader, went above and beyond to make my family and me feel welcome. After learning that we were visiting from Canada, he treated us with such warmth, friendliness, and care that it genuinely touched us. We usually go to Tim Hortons back home, but I can honestly say I have never received this level of service anywhere before.

I’m now back in Canada, but if I ever return to Maryland, I will absolutely visit this Dunkin’ in Olney again and hopefully have the chance to see Mr. Waseem once more.

Thank you, Waseem, for your kindness and heartfelt service to me and my family. You made our visit truly special.

Highly recommended!! one very satisfied customer!“

“The most Delicious donuts! 🍩“

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

“This is a nice Starbucks to visit - easy to get to with plenty of parking and a nice big space to enjoy your drink or get some work done.
The service was good and our drinks were ready in a reasonable time. The drinks tasted good as well.
The restaurant was clean and organized as well ❤️“

“Stopped at this Dunkin Donuts after driving nearly 3 hours. Service was good, we only purchased coffee though. The restroom was out of service, which was disappointing after the long drive.“

“vt ice cold carmel frappuccino“

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

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

“I don’t usually go to a Starbucks and one of the reasons is the atmosphere and service never feels “warm.” I’ve been in management myself and know how rare it is to find a business, let alone a Starbucks, that operates so professionally and where literally EVERY employee is one of the kindest/professional people.
The customer service here was incredible and, from a business side, I can see that the branch is being run very, very well. My friend and I were there for almost three hours and the food/coffees we got were very well-made, the facility was clean and welcoming, and best of all, the employees were some of the best I’ve met in a very long while. I can tell this location as a very good GM. Definitely coming back here and recommending.“

“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!“

“Fresh and hot donuts, loved the breakfast sandwiches. Amazing staff quick and very nice people persons. They know what they are doing at this location. Especially Isayana! What a sweet and lovely woman! Helped me quickly and made sure she got my order perfect!“

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

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

“The best Starbucks around. Great accuracy, efficiency and courtesy. A touch of civilization at the end of my day!“

“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!“

“love it here! great asian options in a comfy location!“

“The black coffee!!! It’s our favorite!“

“I was so excited to learn that there was the Starbucks around the corner from my hotel. It was early in the morning so no one was really there and it was easy to capture good photos and video.

The staff were awesome and greeted me a smile.“

“Met a high school senior who’s applying to my college for an alumni interview: the staff were exceptionally friendly, which set a great atmosphere for the interview. When full, this place gets a bit loud, but most of the time it was only about 1/2-full. We had privacy and were left alone to talk for nearly three hours.“

“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.“
