    Cardamom oatmilk latte

    Double Egg & avocado crogel with basil pesto. It was made to perfection. The service was fantastic, and I was not having a good day. I had to come back and get one for my wife because it was so good. Good energy. Thank you.

    I was looking for a coffee shop with wifi to get some work done and Yelp led me here. The place is warm, friendly and comfortable. The smoked salmon crogel was delicious but pricy Pro Tip: Get the crogel!

    Blueberry Iced Latte

    Stumbled upon this coffee shop while visiting Bethesda from DC and I've already been back twice in the same week. I ordered the blueberry iced latte which I am obsessed with. I haven't had a perfectly made iced latte like this in a long long time. The space is light-filled and cozy, perfect for getting a little remote work done. The staff is also warm and friendly!

    Very good. Nice well made croissant and salmon breakfast sandwich. My caramel macchiato was also delicious, one of the best I've ever had. On their menu they also have some interesting drinks that I haven't seen other places. Service was good. The place is a bit small but there is different types of seating at tables and along the windows. I definitely plan to visit again to try more stuff.

    In a semi desperate search for coffee and a light breakfast option after an intense workout, I turned to yelp for a walkable nearby solution, and the new 5 star rated French Press popped up. French Press is a cute, clean, and modern coffee shop that also serves all sorts of french delicacies and pastries. The breakfast sandwiches are made to order, and are fresh and absolutely delicious-just make sure you specify if you want it served hot. The coffee options are equally as good. My vanilla almond milk latte was not overly sweet and had a perfect balance in favor and smoothness, and my friend enjoyed her matcha latte. The pastries were also good, but (perhaps personal preference) could have been served a bit warmer to give them a more softer, succulent taste and texture. Customer service was perfectly hospitable and attentive, and was a very personable experience. Seating is fine-with a few small round tables, one oblong wooden table, and counter seats available overlooking street view window. Overall, highly recommend trying out this new locally owned shop. pro tip-Street parking is available, but definitely walk for convenience.

    Cute little coffee shop in downtown Bethesda with immaculate vibes. Good for studying with multiple small tables. Can't comment on the food, but the cappuccino I ordered was good, if extremely hot. I had to let it cool down for several minutes before being able to drink. I enjoyed the bar seating at the front which is perfect for solo relaxing and people watching. Service was quick and friendly. I'd like to go back and try some of their other beverages, but for the music and atmosphere alone I'll give it 5 stars.

    The crogel has entered my life and I'm not looking back. What a great place for coffee and a sandwich! The smoked salmon sandwich is a perfect breakfast. And the coffee here is amazing.

    Flat white, iced chai latte, almond croissant, spinach quiche

    Good: Coffee, customer service, ambiance Bad: Food, chai We got a flat white, iced chai latte, spinach quiche, and almond croissant. The flat white was good, but the chai latte was mediocre. The almond croissant tasted like it was a day or 2 old, and the quiche was inedible (even after heating and re-heating), so we ended up throwing it away. It's obvious that the food was not fresh, with the quiche being several days old at least. They said they got their pastries and quiche from Fresh Baguette, which is just down the road, so I'd recommend getting pastries or a quiche directly from there instead. I wanted to try a breakfast sandwich, but the only egg they have is hard boiled, which I'm not a fan of. Maybe their sandwiches would be better than what I had; however, my experience would make me weary of how fresh their ingredients are. The staff was friendly, and the seating area was decent. I liked the music and retro radio they have in the corner. I'd recommend this place if you want to hang out and grab a coffee or cafe drink, but I'd head elsewhere for food.

    The coffee is great and the pastries are really good and fresh!! The staff is super nice and attentive. It's a really good calm spot to enjoy!!

    Delicious, extremely friendly, great ambiance with relaxing atmosphere. I'm trying for the first time. I will definitely back.

    A delicious egg n' avocado crogel (a croissant bagel!)

    I ordered a latte and literally returned it after one sip. Starbucks is 5 stars compared to their coffee.
