I stopped by Gardenias Cafe in Gaithersburg for breakfast, and even though it was busy, the staff…read morekept things moving and the food came out in a reasonable amount of time. We ordered the avocado quinoa salad, a breakfast burrito with chorizo, plus a side of home fries and bacon. The avocado quinoa salad was fresh and flavorful, and the home fries were crispy and well seasoned. Those were definitely my favorite parts of the meal. The breakfast burrito was decent, but it wasn't quite as memorable as I was hoping. My only real complaint was the bacon. It was good, but paying $7 for just three pieces felt a bit pricey. Overall, I'd come back to try more items from the menu since the cafe was clearly popular and had a great atmosphere. If you're in the Gaithersburg area looking for breakfast or brunch, it's worth checking out

La Poteria was the perfect midpoint to grab our morning caffeine fix and a bite to eat before we hit the Harpers Ferry hiking trails. The cafe was beautifully decorated with marble tables, a ton of plants, and plenty of couches and cozy armchairs. There was a ton of natural light from the giant windows, but they also had a number of aesthetic hanging lights, some of which were exposed bulbs and others of which were in little wicker baskets. As far as the food and drink goes, I loved their latte. The coffee was rich and not overly acidic, and it was strong enough that you could still appreciate the chocolatey, nutty undertones under the generous helping of steamed milk and foam. I also loved the little heart sprinkle they added in the center of the mug -- such a cute final touch! My friend and I also split two of their savory items, the cheese arepa and spinach and feta empanada. The empanada was a little different than what I was used to, as it was super flaky and buttery, with an almost croissant or puff pastry-like dough. It was delicious and the savory feta went wonderfully with the spinach and the slightly peppery mayo-based sauce they served it with. The arepa was also lovely, with a generous helping of gooey melted cheese on top of the slightly chewy, slightly sweet corn-based flatbread.

I ordered the red bean donut and milk cream red bean bread. I enjoyed my treats, although I thought my bread had too much cream in it and had to scoop some out. I did like that the cream was light and airy. Hubby enjoyed his food as well, although he isn't a huge fan of onions, which were on the pizza baguette. For my colleagues, I ordered a small cappuccino, a slice of chocolate cloud cake, and a chocolate tart with blueberry to go. I asked if I could place the cappuccino order with the rest of my order but have it prepared in 5-10 minutes so it wouldn't get cold. Initially, the staff member taking my order said I should place the cappuccino order separately. I didn't want to do that since it would mean having to wait in line again. I didn't think my request was unreasonable, so I wasn't sure why there was some pushback. After a minute, she agreed to place the entire order together and gave me a buzzer to let me know when everything was ready for pickup. Unlike the Columbia location, this location doesn't have an open layout. However, I do prefer the exterior of this location because it's more eye-catching and attention-grabbing. I love TLJ and would definitely return for more of their tasty treats!

Regardless, I would still go again to try other items.

While my drink was good, I do feel that the $9.00 paid for a medium drink that was about the size of the Starbucks "tall" drink was a bit excessive. They charged an additional $1.00 for whipped cream?? An additional $1.00 for sugar free vanilla?? The portion size wasn't worth $9.00. I may not visit anytime soon and if I do I won't order an espresso drink. It's not worth the price. The interior appeared clean and the staff was professional enough.
