Really neat spot! They have 4 flavors of ice cream, kouign amman, cannele, and of course all the…read morestandard options you'd expect at a coffee shop. I had an iced chai and it was GREAT! WiFi was great and fast. Their outdoor seats have huge totally shaded umbrella area. Inside isn't big, but it is set up well with a few tables and bar seating along the window. Nice big bathroom too. This place is great. Don't sleep on it!

While the workers were friendly, there were a few things that missed the mark for me here…read more First of all, I wish they had more workers. The line was out the door and I did feel bad for the two employees who were busting their butts. When I got to the front, the workers were super friendly and knowledgeable. I ordered a strawberry Matcha latte. It was just OK. It really didn't have much flavor to it. The price was pretty high for the drink to be just okay. Probably wouldn't be a returning customer.

My bf and I always come here as Ben Gong's tea is honestly probably my favorite bubble tea place…read moreout of many. I'm really happy to have this location in MD as I was very accustomed to having one in my home state. We've been many times and I always get the Avocado Cream Slush (I'd recommend if you like avocado smoothies) but this past time I got the mango pomelo drink, it was so good!! My bf got the strawberry cream slush and it was also so good!!! He's upping his game when it comes to boba now. If you're into boba I'd recommend trying Ben Gong's if you haven't. The ambiance is nice and has nice seating to wait in while the drinks are being made.

Cute little spot with lots of drink options! Went for the mango smoothie option- half sweet and…read moreadded boba- however if there was a person taking my order, I'm sure they would've explained my pick already had some jelly in it, so my drink ended up being more of a chewy dessert lol. It was delicious but not exactly what I was looking for. I always take off for any service interaction being reduced to iPad ordering screens and I think in a place where customization is the key, face to face interaction is much more valuable!!

Every shopping center should have a Boba tea shop! After running a bunch of errands in Rockville…read moreTown Center, I was super happy to find this place across from Garage B. With plenty more time left from the free parking, it was nice to pop in on a very warm day. Pun intended. Yes, there is a kiosk for ordering but since someone was using it, I was able to give my order to a live human being. My order was quick and the Passionfruit slush with lychee jelly was so refreshing! You cannot reduce the sugar content on their slushes but they gave me plenty of jelly. Every sip contained my favorite lychee flavor.

I may have found my new favorite boba shop. They have a unique flavor here that I don't really see…read moreelsewhere and that is their Kumquat Winter Melon Tea. You get a slightly sour and tart flavor right when you drink it but then it finishes on a sweet note from the winter melon. The tart and sweet flavor balance each other out perfectly and when paired with their white boba (which is essentially a firmer jelly) it makes for a very refreshing drink. This is one of my favorite (if not favorite) drinks to get in the whole DMV!

Def Not my first to this location but I think they're overdue for a review. Been here too many…read moretimes I've lost count..haha from the beginning of their opening. Nonetheless service has always been great and drinks always made perfect. This time I came for the Peanuts celebration of 100 year where $6 more you get a surprised keychain! Specialty bobas we ordered were matcha flutter and Charlie Brown's brown Sugar milk tea! Excited that we got Snoopy & Lucy! They are supposed to be available until 10/32 just FYI! :)

I liked that there were kiosks to order - I love to fiddle around and see what my options are (when…read morethere's no line behind me, of course!) so this was great. I put my order in along with a poke order. My friend's drink and the three orders behind me came out pretty quickly. After I got my poke and still had not gotten my tea order, I went to check in. Turns out the system didn't print my order, so they never made it. They were very nice about getting me my drink after I asked about it. Drink ended up being just fine.

Instant hit. I…read morevisited per recommendation from friends and local business owners and they were right. The coffee here was too darn good. I was undecided if I wanted a hot or cold coffee so I chose both. It worked out because they were very tasty and unique. The baristas knew what they were doing . This is a place to work remotely or a casual coffee and conversation. There are food options as well that I'll review on my next visit. First impression 5 out of 5. Pro tip parking is at the real of the building and not paved fully. There are steps you'll have to decent to enter. Otherwise you'll have to walk in the main entrance around the street side of the building which is ADA accessible.

My daughter wanted ice cream so we decided to try this place out and they did not disappoint. I'm obviously late to the party because the place was packed. Service was quick and everyone was friendly. I love a cute local restaurant with a menu that has something for everyone.

Their mochi donuts are hard and stale. The ice cream and cakes are mid. Do not recommendread more

It's nice to have another spot to order food and drinks in Maryland. There's tons of options to…read morechoose from if you're craving bingsoo, bubble tea, or perhaps maybe pastries. I mean they even have coffee here if you really need that caffeine fix too. What I got was the Matcha Rose Latte. It's actually an interesting drink and I could see why it was the 5th most popular drink. I got it with boba, though I think they gave me too much ice and I opted for less. Oh well. I took my time drinking my drink while I ordered the food I got from the other kiosk that was there. I think since this is the only place around the area for bubble tea.. I don't see you wouldn't want to stop here. It's a pretty good addition to Pike Kitchen, and leaves you wanting more to order. I definitely will be coming back more to try out other flavors!

For people who don't read reviews: small business, go…read more For others: This place is straight up accountable to good coffee and taking care of the customer. So awesome and intimate and it's most importantly a small business, so no matter what you need to go. Took a pit stop on the way north and this is the perfect spot to get ready for more driving not because of the coffee (even tho it's supreme), but the people. You want syrups made in house? You got it. You want amazing coffee? You got it. You want an amazing experience with people who actually care if you're getting what you exactly want. You better beleive.......you got it. (Ugh that's a song right?) You need more evidence? The owner was there in the trenches with a smile on her face working hard everyone was happy. Highly recommend

I came here while I was in town and tried the date coffee. It was good, and thankfully, they can…read moreadjust the sweetness so I got it half sweet, which was plenty sweet for me. I will say that the cream overpowered the coffee a bit, so if you want the coffee taste completely masked, this is great! For me, it was a little too much, but I'm sure that's something that can be adjusted next time I go! I'd love to come back and try more of their seasonal options! Also, the service is lovely, and helpful!

I don't have much a sweet tooth. So, you can take this review with a grain of salt...or sugar…read more I had been meaning to check out Coffee Republic, as it's in walking distance for yours truly. After a week of scorching heat, and then rain, I was able to walk over for a morning business meeting. Let's check out the menu, shall we? They have a plethora of "signature lattes" - all of which would be too sweet for desert (for me), much less breakfast. There are a grand total of zero instances in which I'd like chocolate or caramel, or chocolate & caramel, in my morning jolt of caffeine. Hard pass. Breakfast sandwiches from $12-$16. Pass. They do, however, have their own house blend coffee, which is solidly a B+. The upshot of spot is the staff, and the vibe. The former is knowledgeable, friendly, and keeps the space very tidy. The latter is kitschy. If you're going to hang one portrait in your spot, (the late) Tony Bourdain is a super-fine pick - James Dean of the culinary world. And why not have a a Mona Lisa with the face of Rowan Atkinson in the loo?? It would have been easy to give this spot 3 stars, but someone's sentimentality/sense of humor matches my own. To wrap it up, the Republic is a fine option if you're out and about. It's perhaps not a coffee destination, but definitely a cool place to hang, have a casual meeting, or bring a date. Maybe I'll see ya there!

Brand new location! Congrats on the grand opening!…read more They're right next to the Lidl grocery store. I've loved this coffee chain ever since I first had them in downtown DC. I would always say I wish they had more locations closer to home so I'm happy to see that they're expanding. Even though they're new, people got wind of their opening. On a Sunday afternoon it was packed. The wait wasn't too long and service was good overall. I tried the lavender haze iced macchiato. I enjoyed it. This is one of those drinks that probably taste better iced. There's ample indoor seating and a few seats outside.
