19 Best Coffee Shops in Bethesda

“I was recommended this location by a friend who tried CYM and I loved it! The little deli (food truck) was near my house and was a pretty quick trip. The ordering process was seamless. I ordered online and picked up my order right the window. I got a Sun City Bagel which featured cheddar, eggs, and bacon! The food was HOTTTT and fresh... literally to die for! It stayed warm even an hour later when I finished my nail appointment that I was heading too! Also the branding and location is just aesthetic! Even though this is a food truck location, they did have a few parking spots which was easy enough to just park and get out grab my food and go! Good food + aesthetic location = happy Cindy“

“Finally got to try their lemon cookie- I meant to have half so I can eat the next day but too difficult- I ate it all - it was the perfect soft with crispy edge and huge portion- it is pricey but large- service was fine and quick ! Place is small but accommodates enough to have short wait inside - ate walking outside though since there is no space to eat inside“

“Outstanding coffee! Great service. Awesome ambience.“

“What a GEM for Bethesda. I was working on Sunday and was starving for breakfast, while hardly anything else was open. I found this new spot and couldn’t have been more pleased. The service, my croissant, everything. They went above and beyond … which brings me back another day to get more.I messed up my order by asking for turkey instead of the bacon I actually wanted and, even though it was my mistake (I’m not fully awake), they fixed it by making me an entirely new sandwich.I also got a cold caramel macchiato and it surely beats those chain places.. beats their prices also. So why not get something that’s better and worth the price?!You should definitely support French Press. Support Small Business. Support Local. Support the mom and pop shops that provide stellar service and quality food. French Press deserves your support. I can’t wait to returnParking: Parking is free on Sundays but paid during the week“

“Nice outdoor patio and great service.“

“A great little restaurant hidden away in Bethesda. Delicious Italian and Argentinian style dishes cooked to perfection. Perfect for a cosy date night!“

“Grapefruit sorbet is so sO good. I’ve been to their DuPont location before but omg best grapefruit icecream. You can get two flavors for small gelato and it’s a solid serving!I got red velvet and grapefruit. And the worker gave me a pink spoons that goes well with the icecream too! Felt like something that would be in the Barbie movie ?“

“I recently stopped by La Colombe Coffee Roasters in Bethesda, and it was an absolute delight. The aroma of freshly roasted coffee beans filled the air, creating a cozy atmosphere. The baristas were friendly and knowledgeable, and the coffee they served was simply exceptional. I highly recommend trying their specialty blends for a truly memorable coffee experience.Parking: It depends at what time you willvisit this place“

“Sammie provided superb service for our lunch today! I really appreciated her problem-solving, can-do spirit, thoughtfulness and kindness!“

“love this spot - I use it mainly as a WFH space, the ambiance (+ coffee) is great!and the bald guy that works here is the man.I’d honestly hire him if I had a brick & mortar & here’s why : he’s very generous & personable with customers; he’s constantly working / cleaning / moving. Not to throw shade, but other employees will sit on their phone behind the counter when there’s a lull… not him, I’ve never seen him on his phone. Instead, he’ll organize inventory, windex the windows, deep clean .. it’s impressive.“

“It is difficult to find stores that sell good loose leaf tea, and I was pretty happy to find this one at Westfield Montgomery Mall...I'm a fan of Assam and Japanese green teas (among many other types) and this store located on the second floor of the mall (near Starbucks) has a very good plain loose leaf Assam tea (as well as many flavored varieties). The Assam is very pricey, however, at 4 oz for around $23. So I go here only if I have a tea emergency. )Otherwise I order most of my tea online from TeaSource). I like that this store always has yummy samples to try at the front and exudes a cheerful, bright vibe...the associates are also always helpful and friendly.“

“I'm giving it 4 stars so I'll start off with the good: the base chocolate is absolutely fantastic, especially the 72% dogwood blossom. The ambiance of the store is comfortable and easy to navigate. The service was helpful enough. However, outside of the cinnamon cappuccino (which was divine) the flavored chocolates I had were not to my personal taste. I love a raspberry chocolate; however what is on offer here tastes distinctly artificial and hard to swallow. The two alcohol flavored chocolates I purchased also left a lot to be desired. The champagne was good, but weak and hard to place without knowing it. The bourbon also had a nice flavor, but it seems made for those who are afraid of liquor flavored chocolates. While this is a useful offering for those who have not acquired a taste for the usual boldness of artisanal liquor chocolates, I expect to be punched by the flavor rather than gently tickled. The mocha square was also missing the usual kick of coffee flavoring that came across so well in the cinnamon cappuccino. One could have told me that was a simple milk chocolate ganache and I would have believed it. There is an art to subtle flavors and while I'm afraid Bethesda Chocolates did not meet my expectations, the Belgian chocolate on offer is just too good and beautifully prepared to give anything less than 4 stars.“

“Absolutely LOVED our visit to this lovely little whole in the wall. Our food was delicious and made with fresh ingredients. The service was super fast. The man that made our food was incredible kind and we enjoyed chatting with him. We will definitely be back and I can not wait to try something new on our next visit! :^)“

“Overall, I always get good service. Today was different, the service Yanni gave was above and beyond. My nephew was crying and upset and he made a heart with a smiley face in the middle. My nephew made sure I kept it with me while mall shopping. Yanni is beyond a great example of how to be just a human being and caring.“

“The seating is lined up along the wall here, allowing for traffic to flow openly. You're not standing in anyone's space as you wait for your drink(S). The Baristas are efficient and get drink on the bar pretty quickly. They greet you when you enter, which reminds of Starbucks circa early 2000's.“

“Since my spouse worked at Clyde's, her father has always enjoyed the Quartermaine Clyde's blend. Without fail- we pickup 2 lbs of Clyde's Blend to send him every year, and the staff generously provides a free small coffee while we wait for them to bag the beans.“

“It's always my top go-to spot for a quick and satisfying meal. Whether it's their iconic Big Mac or a simple order of fries, the food always hits the spots. The convenient drive -thru and friendly service make it a reliable choice when I'm on the go. Can't best the taste and convenience!Parking: It depends at what time you visit there. Or go-thru is also good.“

“I’m so happy I discovered Joe & the Juice. Super healthy & delicious smoothies, shakes & sandwiches.“

“Angelia is wonderful and we enjoy seeing her every time we visit. The Cafe is a hidden gem with outstanding service and fabulous food. Thanks to the Chefs for keeping the menu consistent with our favs along with offering a few some new items to try.“
