Went there for coffee n cake. Cappuccino was nice. 9 Tiramisu was nicely presented but felt a little too sweet!! Just about enough seating. They sell JN merchandise, too. Friendly staff. Very clean. Nicely decorated seasonally.

Foods are pretty good and we didn’t wait long at all. I love the tuna sandwich, and the 5 truffle fries is fresh and delicious. banana crepe is too sweet to my daughter. She said she will have other crepe instead for next time. We enjoyed the lunch!

Stopped by for a quick coffee and realized it was late enough for dinner but still early enough for happy hour pricing. Nice vibe, super-friendly and helpful staff. Good selection of food items (wings, salads, soups, burgers, sandwiches, cocktails, wine, beer, juices, coffee, and desserts! No problem at all accommodating food allergies/sensitivities. The food came out exactly as ordered/customized. We found our go-to when visiting mom in Gaithersburg.

On my birthday, we went there for coffee in the morning. Everything we ordered was good except the macrons, which felt a little old.

Never done wrong here. Ham and cheese crossaints are delicious. The hueovs rancheros? Especially if you add pulled pork? Is out of this world. And the omelets? Damn yummy too! Haven’t tried anything else but based on what we have eaten here, it’s all delicious!

First time trying this place and it did not disappoint! The overall vibe is very cute and cozy. I enjoyed an iced vanilla latte with a guava and cheese croissant. The ladies at the front were very nice too. Overall 10/10 would absolutely recommend

This cozy cafe has become a regular spot for us. Their coffee is fantastic, especially lattes, which somehow taste even better in their to-go cups! My daughter raves about their fluffy blueberry pancakes, and the avocado toast is a winner too. While service has improved, there can be occasional miscommunications, so I find it helpful to be extra clear when ordering. Overall, it's a clean and inviting place we love.

I’ve been a handful of times. Today was no different. I love their options - how they have wine & beer, AND cocktails if you’re feeling a little spunky. Today I ordered a dine-in cortado (hot), and set of (2) beef empanadas, big slice of their honey cake, and the seasonal cardamom latte w/ orange zest (hot) to-go. All so delicious!!! The staff were friendly, efficient, chill Yes, the tip thing can be “annoying” but there is a way to put a custom tip haha (in response to another reviewer).. it may be a bit “hidden” at first, but no one is forced to tip. 18% just happens to be the minimum. Last time I visited (last summer I think!?): When I tell you I was pleasantly surprised to see Pisco Sour (I believe) on their cocktail menu... it was middle of the day but I ordered it called “Touch of Peru” on their menu Today: ngl the cortado caught me off guard (I think that was my first...) but it was the perfect hot & strong beverage for a cold *** day like today! Ambiance was nice, per usual. Bathrooms were clean, per usual. I will say, I did feel a bit cramped / my conversation didn’t feel intimate at times, but not much to do about that. They clearly have tables spaced in a way that maximizes the dining area Latte art was so cute :) and I like how they have a water station their dessert selection was nice. I didn’t see a huge range of pastries though but they still looked delicious Didn’t get photos of my honey cake, cardamom latte, nor empanadas, but here are the cortado and friend’s matcha latte!
