50 Best Cafes near Takoma Park

“This place has excellent food, fast service, and always makes me feel welcome. This has been my go-to spot for coffee, dinner, snacks, drinks....you name it. Also - a special shout out to one of the baristas, Davis, who always goes out of his way to make sure customers are served quickly and is sure to ask if customers are good with the quality of their meal. He just offers great customer service.“

“Clean store, rest room and polite crew,,, I like the new menu stations :-) :-) :-)“

“I love this place! The food is phenomenal! I can’t get over the tempeh burger!!!“

“I stopped in with friends before a event Sunday evening. The staff was warm and welcoming. I had the lentil sambusas and a peanut-infused coffee at the staff’s recommendation. The food was fast and delicious- the sambusas were warm and spicy, and the peanut coffee was delicious! In a kind gesture, the chef sent over a sampling of sushi to our table. Fresh and refreshing, the sushi was a nice complement to my sambusas and hot beverage. I’m not on this side of town often, but now I have a reason to come back.“

“We had a great lunch! Highly recommended! 😋😋😋“

“Must have the Mochi fantastic“

“We had the best time at KooKoo DC last night. They accommodated a table of 14 for my spouse's birthday and never let us feel like an imposition. The food was so fresh, authentic, and reasonably priced - I did a double take when we got the bill. I even felt like we went all-out with apps, drinks, and desserts! The owner was also so kind - we just felt so cared for the whole time and can't wait to visit again.“

“great food and service nice spot“

“Stopped by after seeing high reviews. The atmosphere of the place is really nice. There’s quiet spaces to study. There’s cute little gifts you can purchase. However, the pistachio chocolate croissant I tried wasn’t good. I don’t like the taste of pistachio paste. Also it wasn’t fresh.“

“Excellent food and the best chai!“

“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.“

Dakota, Paul, and Kevin provided exceptional service from start to finish, they took the time to walk me through the menu, offered thoughtful recommendations, and even crafted a special drink just for me that was outstanding. The baked goods were absolutely delicious as well. Truly great hospitality all around, and I really appreciated the extra care they put into making the experience memorable. Highly recommend!“

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

Every flavor stands out.“

“This is a tidy little cafe with a nice selection of healthy eats. I had a falafel wrap with a side of spinach and potatoes and a green smoothie. They have a wide range of options, from their popular chicken shawarma wrap to chickpea or salmon salads, and fresh pressed juices. What stood out to me was the fantastic service. The owner made great suggestions based on my dietary restrictions. It’s a great place to unwind, and a welcome spot im the neighborhood.“

“very nice 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰 🥐🍇🍕🧁🍫“

“One of the best coffee shops in DC and definitely a favorite of mine. I find myself coming back all the time. The orange raspadura latte is a must, and they have the best carajillos in the Union Market area. The customer service is always great, too.

They also have a really reasonably priced happy hour, especially for DC. Great coffee, great drinks, and consistently a good experience. I haven’t tried any food yet but can vouch for the drinks. Highly recommend!“

“The service is excellent, and the food is beautifully prepared and delicious, served on lovely Armenian-style plates. You can also purchase products from Armenia. I wish you every success and offer a big Armenian shnorhakalutyun (thank you) ☀“

“Sylvan Cafe has a quiet and quaint atmosphere with lovely jazz playing in the background. The staff is very kind and lovely and the food comes out fast.

The food is amazing and I mean really good for the price. 17 dollars for a veggie platter, is an amazing deal and the quality is out of this world it tastes delicious. Would recommend for anyone passing by in the neighborhood to stop by and support this small business.“

“Very good coffee drinks! Nice atmosphere too.“

“Suosittelemme Chef Mikko Catering ravintolaa ❤️😍“

“Toastique is my favorite! That Green Machine smoothie can cure just about anything. I visited today and accidentally dropped my smoothie before I had a sip. They sweetly made me a fresh one and I left feeling embarassed...but I bet this smoothie will cure that, too.“

“Decent sandwich and lunch place. Was pretty busy when we stopped in and there wasn’t a ton of help behind the counter. Felt bad for the folks that had been waiting some time while food delivery orders were prioritized.

That said, the food I got was pretty great. The salad was a little too oily but it was priced pretty fairly for the amount of salad I got.

Overall a decent place. Would stop by if I was looking for a safe lunch option.“

“Great food and drinks! Lovely atmosphere! My favorite are the Belarusian and Ukrainian dishes like borscht and bliny. Also, love the light desserts.“

“This place is the best. Customer service, hospitality, and atmosphere is on point. Pies are to die for. I saw the Tan & Sober Gentlemen here and had the best time meeting the manager who is DC/MD born and raised. Will be coming back for more pie and shows!“

“👏👏👏 One of the Best Coffee spots in Arlington.“
