25 Best Coffee Shops in Silver Spring

“The cake was exceptional. Tell the store if you want your custom cake to be less sweet, they will accommodate.

The store responded promptly to requests and was detailed in taking orders.

Every flavor stands out.“

“This is by far the BEST local coffee in the area the coffee is to die for and the Java burger is the best I ever had in my life Anita ( I think her name is) the cashier/barista is amazing her recommendations for coffee and food are excellent“

“Came here quickly before work- and got the mango bowl and matcha and lived it! The girl in there is so sweet and I love that it opens at like 730a so right before I have to come to the office. The bowl and drink was great! Place is cute too“

“We came for coffee and ended up discovering the most amazing authentic tihlo! ☕🇪🇹 What a wonderful surprise! This cozy spot serves some of the most delicious Ethiopian cuisine we’ve had. Every bite was full of flavor, and the warm, welcoming atmosphere made the experience even better. If you’re looking for authentic Ethiopian food, this place is a must-visit! ❤✨ #EthiopianFood #Tihlo #Foodie #HiddenGem #SupportLocal“

“The coffee is absolutely amazing, reasonably priced, and every single person at Nagadi is delightful and welcoming. But I really miss when they were open on Sundays :-)“

“I ended up at the Weathon location just by chance while waiting for an appointment in the area. The place is a counter with few tables located in the Civic Center/Library Hall. Coffee is really good, pastry was fresh and the lady at the counter was polite and kind. Highly recommended“

“Finally a local Kosher establishment that understands the concept of having high quality coffee and pastries. I couldn't be more pleased.“

“Literally so cute and the food/drinks were SO GOOD! The owners were very sweet. I got a hot chocolate and a Nutella and banana crepe and both were absolutely amazing. The hot chocolate was creamy and chocolatey and it was also the perfect temperature. I recommend adding whip cream as it really elevated the flavor with the contrasting temperatures. My friend got a turkey and cheese crepe and a caramel Frappuccino, both of which were very tasty. The savory crepe was super yummy and the caramel Frappuccino was sweet and frozen/creamy. Overall 10/10 and I definitely want to come back in the future.“

“I’m from SEA & PJs beat my high coffee standards! Great beignets - like yummiest thing at Pike Place X3. Good on a warm afternoon, but when it’s 40° and raining, that chicory-smoke-roast will restore the soul. 10/10.“

“Excelente servicio y el personal muy amable.“

“We love the Black Lion in Silver Spring. A very pleasant atmosphere, quiet enough for a conversation, yet busy enough to feel vibrant. I buy my coffee beans there for morning home brewing and love to sit in the cafe with a macchiato. A great addition to the neighborhood.“

“Really really great experience. Came with my daughter never having tried this drink and really enjoyed it. I appreciated the high schooler behind the counter walking me through the menu and what I may like! Ended up with the milk taro with bubbles (tapioca).“

“Their panini and pastry have always been dynamo. but today they went above and beyond! when i was leaving their bakery, i found my car battery had died. so i went back inside and told them what happened, and they came right outside and helped me start the car! thank you so much, you saved my day!“

“Excelente services and good people“

“This is a solid breakfast and lunch spot very close to downtown Silver Spring. This is a local mom-and-pop shop that is run by the cutest older couple. I have had breakfast sandwiches, omelets, their breakfast burrito, and I haven't been disappointed with the food yet. While they do have chairs inside, it is really a take-out spot.

This a solid place for your essential breakfast and lunch. I try to always support local and small businesses.“

“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.“

“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.“

“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.“

“On an unusually hot day in May, Alex (the Assistant Manager at the Starbucks at 2315 Randolph Rd, Silver Spring, MD) went above and beyond. He was literally walking around to customers’ tables offering water and checking in to see if anyone needed anything. It didn’t feel performative at all. His kindness was genuine. The store was also spotless. Huge thanks to Alex and the team for making the space feel well cared for.“

“Es mi favorita tienda para comprar comida siempre está fresco los alimentos y a buen precio me encanta comprar ahí también medicina y artículos de limpieza cualquier cosa que necesites siempre voy a esta tienda Muchas gracias por su atención y buen servicio“

“I had finally come in after procrastinating for weeks and i genuinely had the best experience even if it was a short 3 minutes of service. everything was magnificent. i understand all the hype about this boy Justin. He’s great!! You inspire me!!“

“Best and newest DD/BR location in the immediate area. Large open space with numerous tables. Clean and well maintained. Staff are very pleasant. Generally not too busy (although I have not been here during prime hours like the morning when there might be more of a rush). Parking is ample and easy to navigate (unlike the one in 4 corners). Only downside is that this location does not have a drive-thru, but I haven't found that to be too bothersome given the ease of parking and speed of staff.“

“Place has great staff and fast?“

“Time to time I’ve been eating at following Dinkins around the Aspen Hill area, this is how will I rate as per my experience?
Aspen Hill (next to Home Depot) - 4/10
Aspen Hill (by the Wells Fargo) - 5/10
New Store (next to Popeyes) - 1/10
Why Layhill Dunkin’ is great in my reviews;
1. Cleanliness - Always clean and hygiene.
2. Customer Service - Very well spoken crew, quick order processing and know customer.
3. Manager and Charith and the rest of the staff is very friendly and very well trained.
4. I would like to rate Layhill store as 10/10 for their great service.“

“I always look forward to visiting Dunkin because of Panna. She consistently goes above and beyond to make every customer feel welcome. Her friendly attitude and warm smile truly stand out, even during busy times.

What I appreciate most is her patience—she takes the time to listen carefully, gets every order right, and never makes anyone feel rushed. It’s clear she genuinely cares about providing great customer service, and it makes a big difference in the overall experience.

Panna is a great example of what excellent service should look like. Dunkin is lucky to have her!“
