50 Best Cafes near Potomac

“It's one of my favorite places to visit, whether to view the exhibits or to take a peaceful walk around the amazing grounds.“

“Besides delicious pastries, the best part of Boulangerie Christophe is the staff! Super friendly and kind to everyone who walks through the door. The gourmet sandwiches are a huge hit for my 15-year-old son too.“

“Excellent food and the best chai!“

“I really really enjoyed this hidden gem. I was traveling from NC, and my friend took me here. It felt and tasted like I was in Turkey, and the hospitality was remarkable. Very family friendly & the gentleman that was there working was on top of his game, kept checking up on us!!!!“

“A breakfast restaurant can provide a comfortable setting for traditional morning meals, coffee, sandwiches, and other daytime options. A varied menu allows different preferences to be accommodated, while efficient service is especially important during busy morning hours. Compared with a quick grab-and-go option, a full breakfast restaurant provides a more relaxed dining environment. Fresh preparation, reasonable portions, and a comfortable atmosphere all contribute to a more enjoyable experience for casual morning dining.“

“Chocolate pudding 🤤🤤🤤🤤🤤🤤🤤“

“The food was great. However, the pleasant young man who took our order messed it up. We asked for add-ons to our main order, but he gave us a whole different order, which cost us a lot. My friend was incensed, but we let it go because we didn't want to hold up the customers behind us and the young man may have been new at his job.“

“I tried the gute luete espresso coffee and also the sweet cinnamon latte. I will definitely be going back. The restaurant has quite a bit of seating inside and free wifi with some seating outside as well. They had great service and the coffee was excellent. There are lots of fun flavors and types of coffees to try.“

“I can’t recommend this place enough. It has the best coffee and the breakfast sandwiches were amazing. I will certainly return to Simona Cafe. xxx“

“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.“

“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.“

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

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

“good food nice associates“

“Very good coffee drinks! Nice atmosphere too.“

“Fantastic independent bike shop. They have a wide selection of bikes. And the friendly customer service, clear & fast communication, expert knowledge, and their focus on building a happy community for bikers & families, make Bike Lane a real community gem. Highly recommend.“

“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.“

“We got two Salmon Lover sets and a Unagi roll to go and everything was really good. The salmon sashimi was fresh and the rolls were generously filled. The unagi was spot on too.

They threw in three complimentary pieces of sushi and two free miso soups with our takeout order, which was a really nice surprise. When I wasn’t sure what to get for drinks, they had great suggestions for sake and beer. Great experience overall, will definitely be back!​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​“

“I have lived and grown up in NYC and NJ my entire life, and yes, that is relevant to this review.

This is, by far, the best breakfast food I have eaten at a sit down location /in my life/. The coffee was rich and strong but not bitter, the sausage was delicious, the bacon was crispy and not burnt, and the portions and prices were terrific.

A MUST stop if you're staying at the hotel, and worth the trip over if you're just a local.“

“I ordered breakfast burritos online. I rarely order things online, so I appreciated that the process was really easy. The food was ready when we got there, and the staff offered plastic knives and forks to take with me. They all seemed cheery and friendly. The burritos are really good! Both were made perfectly how we ordered them. We were in town visiting for the 4th of July, so we probably won't be back anytime soon, but I definitely would come back to this place.“

“ordered the iced tiramisu latte (less sweet) and it was good! i'd probably add an extra shot next time as the espresso flavor was a bit mild to me. cute drink presentation and interior design!

“Cafe X is by far our favorite breakfast spot. The food is incredible and the staff are absolutely lovely. It used to be a weekly tradition until we moved a few states away. When visiting, we always make it a priority to stop by! Don’t skip out on this gem!“

“Johana made our experience at First Watch exceptional. She was warm, attentive, and genuinely kind from the moment we sat down. She checked on us at just the right times, made great recommendations, and made sure everything came out perfectly. Even though the restaurant was busy, she stayed upbeat and made us feel like a priority. It’s rare to come across service that feels so genuine, and Johana absolutely delivered. If you’re dining here, I highly recommend asking for her. You won’t be disappointed. Thank you, Johana, for making our breakfast such a great experience!“

“From far away, it seems like a really cool hip place to be, but inside it just feels like something‘s missing. Like it feels a little devoid of character here and very generic. The avocado toast has what seems like Ken’s raspberry salad dressing drizzled on it, which was really offputting. I tried to get off as much as possible.
Service was kind of impersonal also. Just didn’t seem like people were interested in being there or making eye contact just a quick order and give you what you asked for, no sort of interaction or warmth.“

“Yay!! A bar that has a great Happy Hour with excellent prices and the best food!!! Non- threatening atmosphere for an old lady like me to come in and watch Notre Dame game by myself! Friendly, inexpensive, clean and yummy food!!“

“Can’t wait to go back!!! It was delicious. I wish it was closer to my house.“

“I'm a retired chef from Louisiana but living in Nashville nowadays. I know about eating healthy and I would give this place 2 thumbs up.“

“This halal hidden gem is a must try. The only bad thing about it is how didnt i know about this place before?! I got a latte and the beef and eggs. Every bite wowed me. Do you know what makes me love a place? Of course not you have no idea who I am.

A place that takes risks. Not afraid to add spices and herbs. This cafe is not afraid to add their Lebanese flavors. Their bread was the best sub roll I've had in nova.

Excellent its a must try.“

“I Visited Toastique for the first time today, and I ordered the Avocado Smash it was absolutely delicious! The staff were very welcoming and friendly, and I had a great experience. I’ll definitely be coming back. Highly recommend!“

“Literally EVERYTHING on their menu is DELICIOUS! I Love the teriyaki chicken, the beef bulgogi, and their chicken pesto panini 🤤 They are also very very generous with the amount of food you get. For example their chicken panini has a HUGE piece of Chicken breast in it and the mozzarella cheese are HUGE and thick fresh slices. The word "skimpy" is unknown here 🤤 They have an AMAZING drink selection as well. Really love how many different types of Green Tea they have. If you have a chance to stop by or you're close by, I highly recommend you give it a try. They have outdoor seating with umbrellas.“

“Abel is a great salesman and really nice guy“

“The customer service is superb every time I have visited. My favorite is their mango cake and the shortbread cookie. Great ambience!“

“AMAZING !!If I could give then 10 stars I would. I ordered the chipotle chicken bacon affordable,fresh ingredients , and delicious delicious. On the uber app it didn’t give me an option to add avocado so I put it in the notes and they delivered. I even got a complimentary sweet lol. This is my second time ordering from them and I’ll continue to do so

Update: This is my 3rd time ordering from this place and I decided to go in person!
The hospitality the freshness the attention to detail. This time I ordered their salad and I added chicken and other things wow! The quantity and the quality for the price I’m still stunned I’m clearly obsessed with this place. Fresh SUPER FRESH INGREDIENTS!“

“Since checking this place out, I have become a regular customer, and now come in 1-2x a week for a grocery restock. I have had no time to cook since the new year and had been eating out almost every meal.... but there are so few places around with healthy options. I am so picky about what fruits and veggies, organic items, etc. that I eat, and thankfully sprouts has provided great options for that! The baristas/cashiers are always so helpful and kind to us. Some of my favorites are-- ALL of the soups (seriously that chicken and rice is perfection, especially if you are under the weather), turkey chili, thai wrap, veggie wrap, egg roll in a bowl, drunken noodles, bbq chicken and succotash, the vitality ginger drink (that spice burns but feels good!), the challah and sourdough bread, eskimo bites for a treat, and the strawberry blondie brownies! I am trying new things as the menu changes, but these have been on my constant restock when available of what I have had so far!! I recently learned they can heat the items for you, so you can eat a hot meal there (I have not done this yet myself, as this is like grocery shopping for me so i take it home... but i have seen lots of people in there enjoying their meals!) I have seen some complain about the prices, but if you know the quality of what you are getting (local, organic), then you would realize these are very fair prices! If I have ever wanted to request something or had a slight issue, Sprouts has always been more than happy to accommodate. Thank you Sprouts for providing great service and food options to the community! You will see me again soon! Gluten free, Dairy free, or Flexitarian, check them out!“

“I love that Cafe Sunflower supports the community of people with learning differences with its training and employment program. The baked goods were delicious, too!“

“We’ve been going to Carmen since our kids were little. The ice and custard are delicious and the service is always amazing.“

“I've been here many times now and have yet to have a bad meal. Highlights include their pastel de queso, the sonso de yucca, the empanada arroz and the sopa de mani but there's so much more including delicious Saltenas and if you're really hungry their Majadito. The staff is super friendly and attentive and they are easy to find with good parking. This will definitely be one of my first stops anytime I am in this area.“

“The crepes are utter divinity itself. Both savory and sweet work depending on which mode my taste buds are in.“

“Outstanding coffee! Great service. Awesome ambience.“

“I hosted my weekly "Coffee Klutch" meet here this morning on behalf of my campaign for State Senate and the ladies of Old Town had a fabulous time! The decor is so pretty and the sweets are delicious! Thank you so much for hosting us! Please visit my website to see where we will be each week! www.sophia4va.com“

“Very cute place, delicious teas and desserts, nice staff.“

“I really enjoy with with Matcha drink tonight“

“Always my favourite stop on my trip. Every time I'm in the area to see my girlfriend I stop and get soup here, and it's always always delicious. Honestly this time I told her before I came down that I'm excited tk see her, but I'm ever more excited to have soup. 😅 Worth the 4 hour drive everytime 💜“

“My favorite place to get boba/tea! The service is great and the drinks are always high quality! Really recommend! : )“

“Had the breakfast combo of corn beef hash with home fried potatoes and sunny side up eggs with toast with butter on it. It was a memory rush from the past waking you to cooking breakfast on Saturday morning sunny shining thought the window not too strong but enough that the room is like a good dream.“

“The ladies working there are super nice. The food is delicious and they give you plenty! Nice place to sit and have lunch. Update, I've been back multiple times and tried more food and it's all been delicious. We continue to come back weekly.“

“This is my hometown watering hole! I live on Maui now but OTWC is always my first meal when I come home. Maryland Crab Soup and the Swing Wings is what I always get!“

“Excellent experience. The popcorn chicken was fantastically seasoned. The spring rolls were crisp. The boba was flavorful. The food came out fast and that was great because we were in a bit of a rush. Also they were very sweet people running the shop.“
