Takoma Bev has become one of our favorite neighborhood spots for breakfast, brunch, lunch, or just meeting friends for drinks. The avocado toast topped with a perfectly poached egg topped with Japanese black sesame seeds is my go-to order, and the sandwiches are consistently good. Their cocktails are excellent, and the bar side makes a great venue for private parties or larger gatherings. I am apparently in the miniscule minority, but I find the drip coffee a bit too dark and somehow slightly burnt for my taste. Fortunately, they make an outstanding Dirty London Fog and a wonderful London Fog Chai Latte, either of which I'd happily order instead. All manner of alternative "milks" are available as are a pretty decent selection of local beers in their cooler if you are grabbing take out. Be prepared for a wait on weekends--this is one of Takoma Park's most popular brunch destinations. Like many cafés these days, it's a favorite of laptop-wielding remote workers, so tables can be at a premium. In my experience, though, solo diners are often gracious about moving to the communal table when they notice [or more likely are asked polietly if they wouldn't mind moving] a larger group waiting. It's just one more example of the friendly neighborhood atmosphere that keeps people coming back. read more

We were staying in the area and spent the day exploring the neighborhood. We found this cool place with outdoor seating available. They were serving brunch so we decided to go in and order. I like the local merchandise and variety of beers they serve here. I ordered the TKMA breakfast sandwich and a cold brew. They were supposed to bring the food to the table but forgot my coffee. I had to go back up and get it. The sandwich was okay. The bread was hard and not easy to eat. The coffee was good. I finished my meal and then headed on my way. It was a good place to try out but don't think I would come back again. read more

This spot has yummy food, good vibes, a pleasant environment, and competent service. For a coffee house, these are the essentials that I'm looking for. The entire menu is available all hours that TB is open. Usually at other places, there's a switch of menus between breakfast and lunch. Am partial to their breakfast bowl, a lovely and savory combo of eggs, chorizo, cheddar cheese, peppers and garlic aioli--all in balance. I see a lot of breakfast sammies and BLTs fly out of here, and that's certainly piqued my interest. read more

Great coffee shop. Came here during the hot cocoa crawl several years ago and enjoyed it.

summary: very cool spot with a unique vibe. It combines cafe vibes with speakeasy-esque bar vibes. Everyone on staff we interacted with was super friendly and they serve an awesome selection of food as well. venue: it's literally split into two spots. There's one area that has the traditional cafe pickings (coffee drinks), albeit they also have a bunch of taps on the wall for their draft options. Then, there's a little hallway that leads into a seating area for larger seating options and hanging out. It looked like there were a handful of people there to work/not eat. As far as service goes, everyone was super kind. The space itself felt very inclusive and they were definitely not at a shortage of people willing to help you with anything. For most of the ordering, there's a QR code ordering system, but you can also order with any of the staff too if tech isn't your thing. Food came out very timely and fast. I wouldn't say the food was anything mind-blowing, but it was still very good. The chicken was a tad dry, but most of my complaints for the entrees are more in the realm of nitpicking. Overall, I thoroughly enjoyed my experience here and would love to come back. read more

Overall: super inclusive, excellent vibes, incredibly kind employees, a fun drink selection, and okay food We loved how this place was both a cafe and a bar. There was indoor and outdoor seating and you could both see and feel the inclusivity. Everyone was so welcoming, kind, and helpful. The food menu was just okay in my opinion and all of our food was just okay. We tried the breakfast bowl, the orechiette pasta, fries, and chicken tenders. I wouldn't return for the food, but I'd return for the vibes and a drink. read more

This place is always a fun neighborhood hang sometimes it's a little chaotic that the service is just a little bit slow even if it isn't super busy, but I don't know what goes on in the back of house. Food is always really delicious and it's always a fun time coming here. read more

After a lovely message from the manager, I was in the area and decided to sit down and try this place again. It was still busy, being Sunday that makes sense and totally expected, but my experience was pretty much the same. Ordered at the counter this time instead of the Toast app, and sat at the front barista counter for a hot tea. This time, at least, I was asked if a paper cup was okay because they had no mugs left. I accepted reluctantly but if there are no mugs or coffee cups, what can I do. Interestingly, within 15 / 30 seconds of them bringing my tea, I see them send out mugs of coffee, tea, and cafe drinks without refilling their back-stock of available cups. Which means there were options when I was told there was not. They had the glass steepers available (I know because I saw the barista pull it out and put it back when I accepted my to-go cup fate) so that wasn't the problem, and the type of mug was not a concern to me, so any available option would have been fine. However, if I am sitting down inside and cups are actively available, I don't want a to-go cup unless I am taking it to go. Not sure how this became a practice but it's wasteful. In other news, I asked for a small plate to put my tea bag after it was done steeping and they provided a small plate and a small spoon. (See picture for size reference and why I was confused). read more

Love a good cafe/bar. The coffee here is great, it's basically the only coffee shop in downtown but they don't let that keep them from offering a great products. Service is great and after awhile it's the type of place where they remember your name/order. The line can get backed up and there's not really a great place to wait for your coffee but that's just a symptom of their success. Bar offerings are great, extensive beer options with craft cocktails. Only 5 or so bar seats but if you can grab a spot it's certainly worth it! read more

I stopped in on a Saturday morning and the place was packed, which is always a good sign! I got a cinnamon roll and an Americano. Both were good but what stood out was how friendly the staff was. I sat at the bar and was offered water even though I had coffee because they thought I might want it with the roll- a nice touch already but then they asked if I wanted still or sparkling, ice or no. It was just a really nice touch for someone "only" getting coffee and a pastry. Made me feel appreciated. read more

We love this place. It is a great spot for coffee and lunch during the day or a glass of wine at night. We love to hang out at the bar and chat with the friendly staff. Some of our favorites to eat here are the quiche and burger - dare I say best burger in TKPK! Perfect for a post-farmer's market stop! read more

What a lovely little place that I'm glad to know exists. There's a charm about Main Street Takoma that I know never loses its spark. Restaurants like Takoma Bev Co. definitely add to that charm. I stopped in one Saturday afternoon to meet a friend for a light brunch. We were looking for something hyper-local with an eclectic menu that wouldn't break the bank and this restaurant checked all the boxes. This location is both coffee shop and sit-down diner that features wholesome classics with a rustic twist. You over via a QR code that's on the table which takes you to the Toast site/app. There's both indoor seating and outdoor seating, so depending on the weather you can enjoy the weather outside or the buzzing energy in the dine-in space. For food, I ordered the Housemade Quiche which featured ham and cheese and came with a garden side salad. My friend ordered a warm salad. We both every much enjoyed our meals and they were the perfect portions. Even though the seating area is quaint, it didn't feel packed and we never felt rushed. The only thing I didn't like was parking is so hard to find in this area, but that's totally out of the restaurant's control so I'm just making the point as something to consider if you do plan to patronize the area. Overall, Takoma Bev excels at great food, good vibes and great service. read more

This is a cute spot for lunch in downtown takoma park. The shop is counter service with a huge seating area and awesome outside tent. I ordered an au lait and it was horrible. Tasted like tea.

This is a small coffee shop in old Tacoma Park. You walk in and order at the counter. My cappuccino came out fast with some fancy art.

Great coffee. Delicious food friendly staff. Muffins, pastries are a delight. My favorite lunch is the chicken salad sandwich

This is a reliable spot with friendly service. The interior has a great rustic-meets-industrial charm. I had a brownie and peach blossom tea it tasted fresh and wholesome. It feels very rooted in the community. My only minor critique is that the space can feel a bit cramped when it's busy, particularly near the coffee bar area where you wait for drinks. Despite that, the general welcoming atmosphere and quality ingredients keep me coming back. read more

I was here for the first time on Sunday. It's a very cozy store. The muffin tasted more like corn bread...maybe I wasn't reading the so by correctly but it's good. The latte was ok was a bit light & too foamy, tasted more like a cappuccino instead of latte. The service was good. I'd comeback again. read more

Partner got the day off, so we came here on an adventure! The weather was perfect for the outdoor dining area as we were greeted by the bright signage of Tacoma Bev! We decided to eat indoors, and the interior is really lovely! The dark woods paired with the eclectic local artworks makes it place feel very homey. I had a pistachio and honey kouign-aman, the breakfast bowl with added avocado, and an iced latte. Everything was delicious, and it made the start to our little adventure a delight! Wish they hadn't of been sold out of their t-shirts in my size! read more

This is a neighborhood favorite and I've never been here because I've heard it's best for couples, not small kids. So, hubby and I tried it on a weekday and I definitely agree! The space is eclectic, the vibes are awesome, the seating is open, and you order at a bar!!! If you've never been here before, it is like a cafe not so much a restaurant except the food - even though the menu is small- is restaurant quality! I ordered the smoked salmon toast with runny egg and pickled vegetables. My husband tried a basic breakfast with vegetarian bacon, which happens to be Morningstar farms, of which we've always been a great fan on the rare occasion we eat veggie bacon! It tastes nothing like bacon but it's yummy and unique! Sadly, our order was entered wrong and they sent out a smoked salmon sandwich. Not what I ordered. It had taken ~20 minutes the first time so I went to order a chai latte, another side of veggie bacon as I'd eaten my husband's, and a pastry only to return to my correct order!!!! So maybe they ran the wrong food but made the right one?!?? I'll never know but it was ALL yummy! The flavors go together so well and though the menu is small, it seems that they definitely do everything well! This spot is amazing for dates, networking, working, and even a quick breakfast/lunch/brunch if you're in the area!!! It's very good for all ages but I'd highly recommend not a lot of small kiddos! The menu is small, the wait can be long, and the vibes are decidedly Child-free, except outside. Oh and this is coming from a mom of a lot!!! Enjoy!!! read more

This place served us delicious food! I had the Peruvian Cau Cau stew and a BLT. The stew is traditionally made with beef tripe, but this was a vegetarian and gluten free version that was absolutely delicious. The BLT was packed with bacon and was on a delicious multigrain toast. The staff were very friendly and helpful, and we had a terrific meal in a pleasant atmosphere in charming Takoma Park. read more

The service is the best part! Takoma Park is just a really friendly neighborhood and Takoma Bev exudes that. Cute neighborhood vibe but lively on a Saturday morning. I'll be honest, the food was just okay. I had the salmon toast which was super flavorful but the bread was stale and the poached egg on the side was really bad. I'll be back to try other things but it's worth stopping in if you're in the area read more

I was craving a burger and I was not about to pay $40 for delivery. Google told me that Takoma Beverage Co was closest with decent reviews. I ordered a burger and it was ready on the shelf when I got there. If I didn't have the dog in the car with me I would have dined inside because it was very nice dark mood lighting with wine bottles everywhere. I will definitely have to come back to dine in especially since it is right down the street. The burger was good! Dining in would ensure that's it's hot when you eat it. The outside was a little more charred than I like but honestly it was still good. The bacon could have been pulled off a little sooner though (only reason to deduct a star because it was $2.50 and borderline burnt. I would really want to rate it 4.5). Other than that minor deduction this was good! Fries were clearly a potato once and tasted very fresh. Will try the duck fat fries next time because I bet they hold the flavor well. read more

It's a good coffee shop with cocktails and food. I liked the burger, empanadas, and fries. The indoor and outdoor seating areas are comfortable and sufficient.

Takoma Bev is one of my favorite cafe eateries in the dmv! They have been around for the longest time and I am so happy they are still with us. It's a great work study location , food is reasonably priced, espresso shots are always pulled right and the food is great as well. The wine and cocktail selections are all good as well. There's no other coffee shop around in this area and honestly I like that way. Locals favorite for sure. read more

Highly recommend visiting this place if you're looking for a solid study spot or casual place to catch up with friends. Takoma Bev in an convenient location in downtown Tacoma Park that's easily accessible via metro or you can readily find street parking a couple blocks away and walk there. The decorations and the vibes of the restaurant are immaculate - the folks who work there are attentive and the food came out quickly. I sat here for a couple of hours knocking out some work while grabbing a coffee and a sandwich. While the (Americano) coffee was good, I ordered the Chicken Salad Sandwich and was disappointed that the sandwich was quite dry and the bread was toasted to a point that it scratched the roof of my mouth. read more

Glad to find a cute brunch place in downtown Takoma town! We arrived during Sunday brunch time, so we got in line and browsed the menu. From a broad range of breakfast items, we decided to get breakfast toast and bowl with a chai latte. They used Rishi's chai tea, which had a stronger black tea flavor, fragrant spice note, and less sugary sweetness. After about 10 minutes, a friendly staff brought us meals. My breakfast toast was a crispy toast with black bean spread, avocado, and queso cotija. I was a bit skeptical about this combination, but black bean paste was flavorful and a perfect match for avocado and warm poached eggs. I also liked a hint of pickled shallot on the eggs, which was refreshing. The breakfast bowl was also on point. The egg and chorizo scramble was nicely seasoned and not greasy. Patatas bravas had a nice texture and flavor. We thought the place was small but there were plenty of indoor and outdoor seats to enjoy drinks and meals. The place wasn't overly noisy, so we could enjoy the meal and conversation. The interior also featured local artists, creating a welcoming and warm local atmosphere. It might be a little difficult to find parking on Sunday as the farmers market is placed in the parking lot. read more

What a cute little find! I popped into this place for breakfast and was pleasantly surprised to find a coffee shop with great ambiance, friendly staff and delicious food. The windows have rainbow flags in them showing their ally ship, which I appreciated, and the types of customers enjoying their meals were very eclectic. Upon entering the coffee shop I had to use the restroom, and was delighted to see a custom baby changing station with a baby mat on the hook with a written note for guests to be welcome to use. This attention to detail always makes me smile. I love how friendly and knowledgeable the staff was. Since it was my first time they walked me through the menu a bit and gave me their coffee recommendations. I got the veggie quiche and a decaf oat milk latte (no judging on the decaf, I love caffeine but my body doesn't ). The crust on the quiche was perfectly flaky, and the middle was pack full of leeks, greens and pepper. I'm not a fan of mushrooms so I was happy that this one didn't have any in it. It came with a nice side salad that added a light, crisp compliment to the heavier quiche. Definitely would fill you up. I spent around $15 for both menu items. I definitely recommend checking this place out if you're in the area, they have certainly covered all of their bases with their attention to detail. Hope this helps! read more

I question their hygiene. Got the runs (bad) about 20 minutes after eating their breakfast tacos.

Had this on my try out list for a long time and finally thought I give it a try for dinner given I was in the area. Well I'm sort of disappointed as the prices and the amount of you get just doesn't match. I paid 8 dollars for a smoothie that was about 6 or 8 oz for two more dollars I could get a more fulfilling smoothie from tropical smoothie so I felt that was a rip off and the taste wasn't anything spectacular just felt like it lacked the tropical part for a "tropical" smoothie. The sliders were 5 bucks and yes I know sliders are meant to be small but once again for the price I just don't deem it to be worth it. I will say the chicken slider was good very flavorful and I would get it as a full normal sized sandwich if they offered it, as for the salmon it lacked flavor and was pretty mushy and kind of fishy smelling. The spinach and cheese empanada was definitely nothing to write home about, bland and more bread than filling and the green sauce that it came with tasted like water. I really hate to say so many negative things as I'm sure other things on their menu are good maybe as far as breakfast goes. I would come back but I just won't be rushing to do so. read more

We were excited to try this neighborhood restaurant for brunch and coffee last weekend! The reviews were good and the photos looked delish so what could do wrong? The chorizo breakfast bowl was DELISH! That is definitely a must try! The aioli had some kick but wasn't overly spicy and the patatas bravas were seasoned well! Unfortunately, I can't really say the same about the sausage breakfast sandwich. It's supposed to come with a poached egg but the egg was full cooked. Also the sausage just had an odd taste to it that just didn't taste...right. So we won't try that again. Overall, we would try this place again maybe for lunch and hopefully have a better experience with everything we order! read more
