27 Best Cafes in Rockville

“I’ve been to hundreds of delis over the past 40 years and this one did it right- crispy fries but not burned, just right toasted wheat bread, real chicken breast and fresh green avocado on the sandwich. Portion not too big or small, friendly service, clean bright interior. I knew it was authentic when I saw the Mexican Cholula hot sauce bottle on the table. They just got it all right for me on a quiet weds afternoon, well done!“

“Very good coffee drinks! Nice atmosphere too.“

“This was chosen as a dining spot for guests we have not seen in a while. It was chosen for it's variety of food, the ability to sit withing a comfortable and nice-looking space, and to have conversations because the noise level permitted us to talk and hear each other. So, Tower Oaks delivered.“

“Amazing deli. Chipotle chicken and bacon wrap was one of my favorite sandwiches to this day. Great people who run the place! The two men at the counter treated me very well each time. By the third time, they knew my order and simply asked “same as yesterday?”. Will miss eating at this place, but hope to be back soon. During my last day, the men even insisted I took a cookie for free. Great men, great food, great deli. Would recommend to a friend.“

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

“good food nice associates“

“This place is really my favorite, the service, the food, the pricing, the warm cozy environment. Mr. Gustavo along with all other servers are great people that are kind respectful at all times. If you live in Rockville or you are just stopping by, I really recommend this place. They also have a community table which is very nice and good for elderly people who want to meet new people or just people on the go.“

“Color, colorful pastries, drinks and cakes ready for Spring like looks. I love something fresh and delicious that is new every time I come in to their suave Asian European cafe. The atmosphere is relaxing with the great service and music that is "beat" each time I go in. Bruce Lee "Avian Expression Looks" visits popping in as April 2022.“

“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.“

“We’ve been going to this place at least 2x a week. Is been one of our favorite bubble tea place. We love all of their drinks especially their strawberry lemonade and rose milk tea. Their popcorn chicken is amazing. I am also grateful for their wonderful service. They always have a kind smile whenever I go. I am wishing them lots of success so I can always go get my strawberry bubble tea with strawberry boba“

“Fantastic Cafe. My business Group meets here for breakfast every Friday morning. We are treated with so much respect by the owners and they look after us all so well. Food and coffee excellent. Can't speak highly enough of this great cafe. A hidden gem.“

“My favorites are the crabcakes, bbq ribs and the coleslaw! Beautiful,welcoming atmosphere always.“

“I ordered online and thought I had placed my order for pick up at this restaurant but accidentally placed it for pick up at another location. The staff at this location were super accommodating and friendly - immediately offered to make the food I had ordered and cancel the pick up at the other restaurant. Great customer service! I was most appreciative for them correcting something that was my mistake.“

“healthy food, nice place,“

“Yes, there are times when one has to wait to see who exactly has been assigned to work the kiosk....but I've otherwise enjoyed every beverage they've made for me. I live in the area, so often when I stop in to get groceries, I'll stop to get a beverage as well.“

“Salty dog iced latte so yummy 🤤“

“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.“

“lots of space to eat, drink and meet with someone.“

“I recently had the pleasure of dining at Gourmet Express, and I must say that my experience surpassed all expectations. This restaurant truly excels in providing outstanding service, affordable prices, and exceptional quality, making it a top-notch culinary destination. I saw some complaints about having to pay .50 cents more and other bizarre comments. We need to understand about cost fluctuation of ingredients and sourcing and skilled staff and labor costs. There food is very good. Let's help the local business owners and genuinely let them know with any issues. I am sure they will listen.“

“My partner and I constantly go to this place to get our boba fill, and no matter what, Ben is always there to save the day. He’s always hard at work and will make sure you’re satisfied with your order. The place wouldn’t be the same without Ben.“

“We had placed an order for our daughter’s birthday cake for a pick up on Thursday the 11th but due to the inclement weather, we decided to move things up to Wednesday. I reached out Tuesday after hours and got a prompt reply. On Wednesday we were able to pick up the birthday girl’s cake and it was absolutely delicious. The staff were A pleasure to work with.“
