‼ MATCHA REVIEW ONLY‼…read more This is my favorite Strawberry Matcha in Gaithersburg! Hands down! Service is pretty quick even when the traffic is heavy - love them for that! Not only is the Matcha extremely aesthetically pleasing when you pick it up, but it's also not hard to mix like everywhere else. The strawberry purée mixes in perfectly with the rest of the drink. You don't have to shake it up like crazy or spoon it to actually mix everything. It's also extremely balanced. It's not too hard on the strawberry, nor is it too much with the Matcha - perfect blend! If you love matcha - go now!

Friendly service, small cafe…read more Matcha matcha latte: saw this on their seasonal menu but they were still able to make it for me even though it wasn't advertised on their current menu. Matcha latte was very smooth, not gritty at all, and they asked what sweetness level you want. Overall, it's a good matcha but wished it had deeper umami notes. OG egg sando: only ate half and it's pretty filling! I would come back to try other menu items

I cheated on my cats today lol dont tell them. I came here with my friend. Our 1st time we were turned away cuz atm they were busy. Though it didnt need to appear that they were. I strongly recommend making an appointment. We came back later for a 15 minute session. $18 They stated that they had 24 cats .. but I didn't see that many. Majority were all sleeping or hiding. My favorite was Stan (gray cat) I felt that some of the woman working there were not very welcoming or friendly especially the female with brown straight hair, thin build. We were inquiring about one of the cats for adoption, . instead of answering she blatantly said your time is up.. OK I get it but you dont have to be hasty about it. It appears that the staff tends to treat customers better if they have longer sessions, like 30 minutes or longer. I love that these cats are able to be adopted. Not the same day. Most are strays and are kittens or young cats less than 2 years old. 20% discounts for Federal Employees.

The cats and the service once you are in the cafe are fine. If you are trying to CONTACT or get…read moresomeone to CALL YOU BACK, you are out of luck. They never pick up the phone, they never returned our (5) calls, or our (3) voice mail messages. We paid in advance (booked on the site) and they charged us for a missed visit, would have been our second time there, rather than return a call or reschedule. We were at an emergency vet visit with one of our pets. There is no WAY you are too busy to call us back. ALSO, on our first visit we saw that they sold drinks in the lobby, but that you can't eat or drink among the cats. So it's really not as much a cat cafe as it is a kitten wonderland. The kittens are well cared for, the place is clean... the service is NOT great.

I think if they really dug further into the childhood theme - they could have a hit, especially for Millennials and GenZ. If they're able to capture that nostalgia, they'd be a hit. The staff are phenomenal and always have the best recommendations. The place is a bit small but if you come early, you can grab a spot by the window and work. Love the chalkboard! The food is my favorite. I prefer it over the drinks. The drinks are hit or miss. The syrup is always on the bottom of the drink and not mixed in for some reason, so when you drink without a straw, there's no flavor throughout the drink and a sugary sip at the end. Looking forward to seeing if they make any upgrades later!

Their flavors have a strong essence but are not too sweet. The music is always good and the service is great.

They were clumped together and hard as if they came straight from the fridge :/ I can't even focus on the drink because I'm spending a lot of time chewing. Updated to add that it wasn't until I had a sip that didn't have boba pearls that I could taste the matcha. I'm not a huge matcha fan, but I could tell that it tasted artificial.

The interior is also super cute and a great chill spot to hang out with friends or even study. We got the ube/matcha soft serve and the matcha latte float. Both were super yummy! The matcha flavor in the soft serve/float was perfect as someone who likes matcha with a bit of earthy/bitterness and more sweet taste. It might not be to everyone's liking though! Ube flavor was also super solid too! If you're craving matcha, this is definitely a great spot to go to!!

They serve Black Acres beans (a favorite of mine) and some seriously good croissants. I kept it simple with a standard latte and a butter croissant. The café has window bar seating inside and a couple of outdoor tables, making it an easy, comfortable place to slow down. The barista was friendly and even shared helpful fishing spot info. The interior has a cozy, minimalist style, and with Sunday morning light, the whole place felt like a warm, relaxed place to be. From what I could tell, there's space in the back to meet and greet the cats. I'm not in the market to adopt, but for anyone who is, this seems like the place to connect with a new purring family member. Worth a visit if you're in the area!

Espresso machine was down when I showed up, go figure. Workers were definitely empathetic about the loss, a shame!! Hope it got back up and running soon after. The pastry selection looked awfully familiar (I remember you from last year chocolate croissant), and they confirmed Ovenbird was the culprit. Their butter croissant was absolutely delicious and huge!! Raspberry Matcha Latte was decent, nothing extraordinary. After all, I wanted espresso. Kitties are (always) adorable & from local shelters. (employee sits in with you the entire visit, understandably)

The place is worth it! I know you will make it your regular weekend, weekday breakfast, lunch or dinner place! It's a locally owned small business and I encouraged him to open another one! He doesn't know what he's going to get with this review, but he will get more customers - for sure! He doesn't need me promoting him or his business! The food and the customer service speaks for itself! I don't like to give five stars, but this place is freakin adorable, wonderful and all the things! You will not regret visiting this establishment! Their people are homey and can mix with any jive! Love Chloez!! You just gotta try this place in order to know what I'm talking about!! Ask for the owner, Joe! He is down to earth! So is his team!! P.s. shout out to Kat (short for Katerina)!! She totally rocked her service with us!! I love her energy!!

The dinning area has a real hometown feel with conversation billowing from each table about individuals being regulars and discussing the last time they were here. The staff are primarily made up of teenagers who were all friendly and helpful. For food, we partook in a few things from the menu: - Chicken tenders (5) with fries - The American burger with fries - Western omelette with home fries - Avocado toast with home fries - Protein smoothie - French toast latte - Beignets (6 small) with all three sauces All the food was delicious and prepared just right. After reading the reviews, we decided to make a reservation. However, the hostess seemed frazzled and overwhelmed by something that did not pertain to us and the reservation appeared to not matter. The restaurant prefers you pay by cash or debit. If not, they attach a 3% processing fee. The only criticism I have is that the restaurant charges extra for anything not directly associated with your meal. For example, $3.50 for salsa, .50 per extra beignets sauce, .50 for bbq sauce, and $1.50 for fries with a burger. This is a small thing but can add up quick. Overall, this is a decent diner and one we will probably return to soon.

The cafe was large, bright, clean and decorated with the cutest Parisian theme. There are also drinks and pastries ready for order; which we'll have to try next time. As for the cats; there were a good amount of cats and kitties being fostered there. A few were napping when we were there and there were others that were playing and eating. They were sweet and cuddly. You can tell they are so well loved and cared for. If you happen to fall in love with them as I was quickly starting to myself; the cats are all adoptable! I can't wait to return to Meow Maison!
