25 Best Cafes in Rockville

“good food nice associates“

“Very good coffee drinks! Nice atmosphere too.“

“We absolutely loved the food and the kind attention and service . The crepes were divine to the minutest detail with strawberry hot syrup and whipped crème, oh my! The crepe with eggs and hash brown were delicious and very satisfying. I’ll certainly be back and some and look forward to eating at their 2nd Tasty Nook in Shady Grove.“

“The Maine lobster event is going on now and it's delicious. (Lobster three ways are the choices - whole Maine lobster; a lobster pasta dish and or a lobster roll. Each of these comes with sides.) Also particularly good the last three weeks have been the oysters - very fresh, great taste and texture. The service was attentive, professional, very pleasant, and the meal was well-paced between courses, thanks to Taylor. The dining room was quiet and comfortable. An excellent dining experience and meal.“

“This was our very first time at First Watch and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Our server, Mathias, went above and beyond to make us feel welcome and taken care of. He was attentive without being overbearing, knowledgeable about the menu, and made great recommendations that we loved. Mathias truly elevated our visit and set the bar high for future visits. We’ll definitely be back thanks to the excellent service he provided!“

“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 Carmen since our kids were little. The ice and custard are delicious and the service is always amazing.“

“I really enjoy with with Matcha drink tonight“

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

“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!“

“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.“

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

“J’s Asian Street Food is a gem! The Chinese food here is truly authentic, prepared with high-quality ingredients and without the heavy, unhealthy additions you often find elsewhere. Every dish tastes fresh, balanced, and full of flavor—just like real street food should.

The owner is incredibly welcoming and friendly, making you feel right at home from the moment you walk in. It’s clear they care deeply about both the food and the customers’ experience.

Their drinks are also a standout—the tea is brewed with real leaves and has an authentic, refreshing taste that pairs perfectly with the food.

Overall, J’s is the perfect spot if you’re looking for genuine flavors, a warm atmosphere, and food made with care. I’ll definitely be coming back again and again!“

“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.“

“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.“

“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.“

“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.“
