It is what it is; a plain vanilla cafe in a multistory office building, but featuring excellence. Put off by a limited, but exorbitantly priced, menu at our Rockville hotel, an online search led what's-her-name and me to Tasty Nook not far away. There are many traditional American and Latin menu choices, well prepared food, reasonable prices, and gracious staff. The spacious, clean, properly equipped, and completely stocked restrooms way down the long hall are especially reassuring compared to many other restaurants. Complaint - The omelettes deserve larger than standard dinner plates. read more

6/27/26: Stopped by Tasty Nook Cafe for breakfast while I was in the Medical Center area. The restaurant was clean, the staff was welcoming, and the service throughout the meal was friendly and attentive. We ordered the Big Eaters Platter, the Corned Beef Hash & Eggs, and shared a Nutella Crepe with Strawberries for dessert. The portions were generous, especially the Big Eaters Platter, making it a solid choice if you're coming in hungry. The corned beef hash was decent, and the Nutella crepe with fresh strawberries was a nice sweet finish to the meal. That said, I thought the food was just okay for the price. Nothing we ordered was bad, but nothing really stood out enough to make me want to come back. The quality was solid, but I left feeling like there are better breakfast options in the area for the same price point. If you work nearby or are visiting one of the surrounding medical offices or hospitals, I could definitely see this being a convenient spot for a quick breakfast or lunch. However, as someone visiting the area, I don't think it's a place I'd go out of my way to return to. Overall, friendly service and a clean restaurant helped make for a pleasant experience, but the food didn't quite justify the price. A good neighborhood café if you're close by, but probably not a destination breakfast spot. read more

The Tasty Nook Cafe has a sterile, college cafeteria feel. Although the staff is nice, my server forgot to put in my order, so I had to wait about thirty minutes more for my chorizo omelet. The omelet arrived well done. I forgave that but this was the blandest chorizo I had ever tasted. It was devoid of flavor and there was no hint of any kind of spice. At least the peppers and onions had some flavor. What I tasted the most was grease and that prevented me from finishing the omelet. The hash browns were crispy at least. The latte was ultra-bitter and tasted burnt -- severely burnt. I will not go back. read more

11.19.25 The café's appearance doesn't particularly stand out, so I expected the food to be just average--but I was pleasantly surprised. I ordered the eggs and bacon, which came with a hash brown and toast. At first glance, I thought the bacon might be dry, but I was wrong--it was perfectly crispy and cooked just right. The hash brown had a great crunch, and the scrambled eggs were soft and not overcooked. I also had a hot chocolate, which was sweet and creamy, exactly how I like it. My friend ordered a salad. She's a regular here, and the owner knows her by name. A nice bonus: OneTime Fitness members get 10% off when they show their membership card. read more

Sorry but this was not it. The omelette was cooked super hard and just didn't have much flavor. The French toast was just meh. The eggs were plain and sausage was okay. read more

My family and I really enjoyed our experience here! We didn't know at first if we should sit down or order at the counter, it seems like you can do either. It's a very casual set up and takeout is available by ordering at the front. The menu has a great variety of breakfast food - omelettes, waffles, pancakes, crepes, etc. We were able to piece together sides and platters to get exactly what we wanted! They were quite busy but for a Sunday at 12pm we expected this. Sadly my food didn't come out until my family was nearly finished eating. We did really enjoy the food despite the timing and would like to try it again at a calmer time. read more

My second time here. The place is a bit hard to find, on the first floor corner of a commercial building in an area of commercial buildings and a few restaurants. The inside is smallish, with a bright and cool vibe. The food is terrific. Last time we were here we had lunch and today we had breakfast. I got the super vegi omelette with hash browns and an English muffin. My partner got the waffle with two eggs, hash browns snd two sausages. I really enjoyed the omelette with a lot of spinach and broccoli. The eggs were cooked well, but not overcooked/dry. The hash browns were addicting. Nice crunch on the outer parts, with a smooth texture on the inside. Yum. The English muffin didn't come with butter or jelly, but I'm sure I could have gotten butter if I asked. The waffle was prepared well and tasted good. Plenty of butter and syrup available. The coffee is pretty good here. So, the food's really good but I have to say the service today was not. We each got a glass of water and I got a coffee and my partner got an iced tea. During the meal, we finished our waters and the iced tea/coffee and sat and sat waiting for someone to come over or make eye contact. The place was busy, but not packed. I have to say the service was really disappointing. I'm scoring the place a 4. I considered scoring a three for the long time we sat with empty water and drink glasses, but I'm hoping the issue was a one-off. read more

Finally great corned beef hash!!!! Okay, my wife and I decided to try this place. I have been looking for great corned beef hash for quite a while. Not the canned mush, but true and tasty corned beef hash. And I found the best in all of Montgomery County. But it doesn't stop there. We were warmly greeted when we came in. Very friendly staff. A sit down place where someone comes to take your order (we thought it was an order first place). Everything was great. Fresh, hot coffee. Great omelette. Great bacon. And the serving size of the entree was very generous. My wife ordered a ham, egg and cheese breakfast sandwich and loved it. My wife and I have, without any question or reservation, our new breakfast spot!! read more

I want to gatekeep Tasty Nook Cafe, but I feel obligated to share. We love going to Tasty Nook Cafe for a quick and filling breakfast. The prices are reasonable and the portions are generous. We can be in and out rather quickly without dealing with the crowds of IHOP or First Watch. Everything tastes freshly prepared, compared to the chain restaurants where it may have been sitting after being mass prepared. read more

This little cafe is easy to miss but what a little jewel! I come to this strip mall area all the time to frequent other establishments but never noticed this place. They have a small neon sign out front that says, "Deli." When you look closer, on the door it says, "Tasty Nook Cafe." It is small, like a really small diner. Their menu is EXTENSIVE. They offer breakfast all day long and they have a huge amount of Latin food options as well. I ordered the mediterranean omelette. It was creamy and delicious. I had a regular drip coffee. It did the job but was not amazing. Service was super friendly. The prices are reasonable, potions are decent sized. It's a great place to come with a small group of breakfast buddies, with your kids, or for a meet up with an old friend. It's quiet, low-key, and you can have serious conversations. Coffee was a bit of a drawback but I liked the ambiance, service and food so I'm still giving it 5 stars. I would love to return and try more menu items. read more

Specials for Onelife members. I think it was on Tuesdays. Friendly service. Cafe atmosphere. Nothing fancy but it's a solid local choice.

Although it took me a couple of circles around the parking lot to find this place, it was definitely worth the effort. It's a small, cozy, clean cafe. The service was friendly and the food good. The eggs over medium were on the medium-hard side. But everything else was spot on. There was a generous helping of hash browns and the pancakes were perfect. I'm definitely going there again. read more

Brunch spot in Rockville. American breakfast with some Latin influence. Menu is very dense, lots of options. I tried the Greek omelette and added chicken. I was surprised how big the omelette was, it's a very good size for the price. Service was great as well, very friendly. PS: Be careful with the GPS directions, they are located on the right side of a big office/medical building in front of the gym. The GPS took me to the back of the building where the door is locked so I had to drive around. They have a sign on top of their door. read more

Went there today for my first time. I got the strawberry & banana crepes, which were drizzled with chocolate. They were delicious as was the drip coffee. I love that they have breakfast all day. The staff were all friendly. When you park, look for the big sign that says deli, that's where the cafe is. read more

We are big fans of Tasty Nook, regularly frequenting their Research Blvd location before this new cafe opened. We know the food to always be delicious and prepared with fresh ingredients, and it is no different for this new location. All of their breakfast options are great, especially their omelettes. The Mexican torta is also very good! Their fresh natural juices are my favorite, i highly recommend the Marañon (cashew fruit) juice! read more

Tasty Nook Cafe lived up to their name. Everything was very tasty and delicious. We ordered a variety of breakfast dishes. I was pleasantly surprised at how nicely they were packed for traveling and each dish was still warm, when we opened the containers at home. My personal favorite was the pancakes. They were light and fluffy. The syrup was really good too. My daughter in law ordered the strawberry pancakes. They were delicious and had a whipped cream and strawberry topping. We ordered the corned beef omelette and it was packed with tons of corned beef. I ordered sunny-side eggs. The eggs were fresh and cooked well. Lastly, we ordered French toast and that was wonderful. The service was great, we ordered over the phone, and it was ready and waiting, when we arrived. Even, the butter was creamy and rich. Sometimes, the small extras can make a difference, and in this case they truly did. I won't hesitate to order from them again. Lastly, the price point was affordable. So, win-win, for a great breakfast! read more

Tasty Nook is a pretty recent establishment. It's super hard to find bc the signage has a different name, but it's located right next to the One Life Gym. The menu ranges from basic pancakes and eggs to delicious Latin food. My friend and I were overwhelmed with the options and went with their breakfast burrito and pancake meal. While we were dining in, there was a non-stop crowd of people carrying out and dining in! I definitely need to try more of their special dishes, but I had a good first experience. read more

This cafe offers decent food at a reasonable price. However, the service leaves a lot to be desired. The wait time to receive you order is takes forever. The staff always seems to be in each other's way. It is very chaotic. The service is poor with little follow-up with the customers. I think there is a need for a better division of responsibility among the employees. read more

Located right next to the onelife gym in Rockville is tasty nook cafe which serves breakfast all day. The food gives a home cooked meal type of vibe. The service was solid. I went on 2 different days to be able to try all of the different food items I wanted to try and to do so I ordered through their dine by Wix app. With my 2 trips I ordered takeout and got a breakfast burrito without hash ($6.50), western omelette with ham,green peppers,onions, +1$ cheddar cheese, +1$ spinach, and +1$ Tomatoes ($15.25), 5 French toast ($8.50), 3 pancakes $5.50, ropa vieja ($15.75), a revuelta pupusa ($2.75), Philly cheesesteak with fries ($11.25), and a waffle ($7.95). Let's start with the breakfast items first. The breakfast burrito was very good and it's an item that I would definitely comeback for. The western omelette was pretty good but I wish I knew it would a 1$ charge for EACH additional topping I added. The 5 French toast was solid but wasn't as good as I expected. The 3 pancakes were pretty average & basic and I definitely wouldn't get them again. The waffle was pretty good: fluffy and soft and great when dipped in the syrup (I would come back for it). Now we can move on to the lunch type of options. The ropa vieja was okay but i definitely expected more in terms of portion and flavor. The pupusa revuelta was decent. The Philly cheesesteak was pretty good and the bread was definitely the best part of it. The fries that came with it weren't good in my opinion and not crispy in the slightest. All in all, tasty nook cafe is a pretty good breakfast spot that deserves more attention. I'd definitely recommend and return for the breakfast options. read more

This review is based on many visits. Stopped in on a cold Sunday was was delighted once again to be greeted by the warm of this small family-centric diner. Huevos rancheros and an egg, spinach and cheese sandwich with a side of perfectly cooked hash browns filled us with deep happiness. The coffee at Tasty Noon is amazingly smooth. Elevating this experience is the love and care from the owners of this cafe! Latin plates are a lovely addition-/ I can't wait to try the black bean/egg/latin sandwich when we return. Hope you all can stop by and experience this experience for yourselves! read more

It's a fast diner-like place with some Latin flair. I came here with a friend after being at the doctor's and was so hungry (had to fast before coming) and had the breakfast burrito. It was fine, nothing to write home about but it was filling. Good portion. I doused it in ketchup and hot sauce to get more flavor haha. The hashbrowns were AWESOME though - crispy and again generous amount - also doused with ketchup haha. Quick breakfast in and out. They will take your order at the table if you eat in, and pay up at the front when you're done. No frills, easy in and out. Park - plenty out front. It's a little tricky to find in the plaza so hats off to the yelper mentioning it's close to the one life fitness building - that was my landmark to find it! The big sign over it says DELI (in green!) and the door is the one sign to say it's the Tasty nook. read more

Tasty book cafe is the best hidden gem in the rockville area! The owner is so sweet and welcoming. This cafe is tucked in the corner of an office building near the gym.

Walked into this cute little spot located on the bottom floor of a commercial office building after visiting Robeks across the street. I never thought after walking in at 3PM on a Monday to a less than busy, yet clean, store that i'd be eating one of the best Sausage, Egg, and Cheese i've had in awhile. My partner also got the Beef Torta and was absolutely blown away by the quality, price, and just how tucked away this place is. If you're looking for an amazing place for authentic latin and brunch food, please do not pass this place up. read more

I really relied on Yelp for a simple brunch get together and the almost 5 - star rating was deceptive. I didn't expect anything fancy, but it was just meh food (I had strawberry crepe that was heavy and eggy) and tried a bagel sandwich. The egg sandwich looked like the ones you buy out of desperation from a lack of options ...at the airport. The bagel tasted microwaved. I didn't take a picture bc it looked sad, but now I think I should have. My friend ordered a breakfast burrito and she was not a fan either. She tried the Nutella and banana crepes and she liked those- said she would bring her kids back for those. The name is not deceptive ... this is definitely a "nook"of a place . There are about a dozen small tables and only one server working today. She was also navigating phone orders- that being said we didn't wait more than 20 minutes for the food and service was still friendly and warm. I know the food looks amazing in the pics but it was just...okay. read more
