5 of the Best Coffee Shops in Rockville

ROCKVILLE, MD — Need a pick me up to get through the day? Or just to clutch a hot mug of java to thaw out? Get yourself a great cup of coffee.

Here are five of the best coffee shops in the Rockville area, according to Yelp reviews.

La Bohemia Bakery, 5540 Wilkins Ct., Rockville

Customer Jerry S. said: "This bakery is the epitome of Hidden Gems. ... The latte was very good and half the price of *$$, and the croissant was beautifully flaky. Very cordial service, plenty of varieties of pastries and breads. Unless you have the misfortune to be gluten intolerant, study the map and make the effort to get there. Bon appetit!"

CremCafe, 199 E. Montgomery Ave., Rockville

Patron Amy G. wrote: "Parking isn't terrible. Place is tiny, tiny, tiny. Counter service was friendly and oozed a boatload of hipster charm. Coffee was good. I ordered the house drink and they gladly customized it to be less sweet. The other three in my party also liked their drinks. The sweets we purchased were ok, albeit expensive for the serving size. ... I'd go for coffee. But be prepared to get it to go. Take your wallet. Seating is sparse."

Coffee Republic, located in King Farm Village Center, 801 Pleasant Drive, Ste. 100, Rockville

Fan Halli W. wrote: "The best coffee shop (taste, location, customer service, ambiance) AND its independently owned! We ordered the chai latte and a hot chocolate and peanut butter cookie for my son (who is a picky eater but scarfed down every bit of both). Will definitely be coming back."

PB’s Coffee & Dessert, 5562 Norbeck Road, Rockville

Commenter Anna G. said, "Holy cow. Where the Heck has this place been??? I've been looking for a homey coffee shop for years. This place has the best food and dessert, I got the grilled chicken sandwich and the capresse salad (they have a pick 2!) and it was well portioned, fresh and delicious. ... The service here is ASTOUNDING. I felt so welcome and the lady walked me through the menu with great recommendations (even tho she didn't eat meat she pointed out popular options)."

Dunkin’ Donuts, Rockville Pike, Rockville

Said reviewer Ellen B.: "I was really disappointed in my visit here today. This is the third time this location has messed up my order. Luckily, when I noticed this morning, I pointed it out immediately. The employers bickered about whose fault it was behind the counter (which was frustrating given how busy and crowded it was) and when I thought they finally got it right, I noticed they forgot my second drink when I got home. The staff here can be forgetful, hasty and unpleasant."
