Once again, five star meal at Koma - this time for breakfast. Can you beat this divinely presented smoked salmon platter? The brilliant jade of the avocado? I mean..... I also had the Green Machine smoothie, which surprised me with little bits of crystallized ginger, each one delivering a lovely pop of flavor. We sat outside at the picnic tables on a beautiful spring morning, and even though I rarely emerge for breakfast, I can't deny that it was worth the early excursion. read more

I haven't been able to visit in a while and Spring Break traffic patterns allowed me to stop in and not be late for work. The atmosphere is always welcoming and I haven't had tried the entire menu but what I have had has been solid. Breakfast or lunch, stop by and support a local gem in the community. read more

Solid cafe! Needed to get out of the house so I stopped by for a coffee. The team is friendly, service is quick and the coffee was super flavorful! The music is not super loud and there were a bunch of seating options. Great place to read, work on your laptop (seems like that is okay here) and or meet up with friends. Will come back in the warmer months to experience the outside area and the ice cream! read more

Can't say enough good things about Koma! This cafe is super cozy tucked in a historic neighborhood in Takoma Park that feels straight out of Portland, OR. The staff at this cafe were incredibly friendly and on the ball. The food was pricey, but absolutely delicious. The avocado toast was wonderful, as well as the coffee. Seating inside gets full quickly but there is outdoor seating as well that I took advantage of. Highly recommend this spot to work, unwind, or grab lunch. read more

Koma Cafe - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Takoma Park, Maryland

Went here twice while visiting Maryland for the 4th of July and it was absolutely delicious! Both times I ordered the egg & cheese croissant with ham, and the second visit I also got an iced vanilla latte with almond milk. The croissant was amazing and the portions definitely fit the price. The coffee was well made and tasted great. The atmosphere is very homey and the workers are all very kind. I will definitely be back next time I'm in town. read more

Koma Cafe - Croissant Egg & Cheese - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Takoma Park, Maryland

I ordered the tuna sandwich and I had to send it back. It was soo salty that it was impossible to eat. I ordered the spinach smoothie which was delicious, but for the price it was pretty small. The waiter was extremely sweet. They brought me the lox Instead which was just okay. My partner thought his sandwich was nothing special. With tip we spent $50. Pretty average. read more

Met with a friend for brunch on Saturday morning and at 9:30am, the tables were full (by 11am, there were available tables). There are only about 6-7 small tables, plus two high counters with high bar seats, so I would call this a small space and not good for groups. However, for nicer weather, there's picnic tables out front in the parking area. Only a few parking spaces out front, so expect to park on the street, but it's mostly a residential area, so it shouldn't be too hard to find parking. You order at the counter- there are paper menus, and then they hand you a number to take to your table and they'll bring you your order. I like that they do offer brunch food and not just pastries. I ordered the peanut butter oat bowl, which was very filling and delicious. I also ordered green tea which was served in a cute glass teapot with tea leaves. They have two unisex restrooms, and the first one I went into was large. My friend and I were at our table for about 1 hour and half, and she gave this place the thumbs up! read more

This is a strange little stretch being next to a small university and an abandoned (as of this writing) hospital. Nonetheless, the residential area nearby seemed to be keeping it in good business. The place stood out to me for its salad offerings but I didn't have room for more than a snack, so a less healthy but amply delicious monkey bread served my needs. For a beverage, I perused a cardamom rose matcha with genuine ambivalence. Matcha is the author of many great flavor combinations, but I've seen weird matcha beverages fail badly before. In this case, the added flavoring was subtle enough not to overwhelm the tea, but interesting enough to dazzle the palate. A job well done for them. The place was large enough to accommodate several groups inside and out and was nice enough to sit around a while, as many people in the neighborhood were doing. I'd like to try something more substantial from them, but for the basic cafe experience I came for, they hit exactly what I wanted. read more

Cute spot with great coffee! My friend recommended this spot to meet up around Takoma/Silver Spring. The interior is super cute with green walls, a variety of seating, and quirky decor. I ordered a latte and crossiant- both were excellent. The latte was rich, creamy and smooth. The crossiant was so buttery, light and simply wonderful. Definitely a spot worth going to again! read more

Stumbled upon Koma Cafe when I was in the area and I'm so glad I went in! Was planning on grabbing a matcha and sitting for a bit to do some work, but the food looked so good I ordered a veggie sandwich with side salad. NO regrets, my friends! This was one of the best sandwiches of my life. Here are the ingredients: tomato jam, burrata, pesto, lettuce, avocado, and artichoke hearts on a DELICIOUS bread. I'm drooling just thinking about it. The matcha was also great and not at all sweet. Perfectly served. I found an outlet for my laptop and enjoyed people watching in cozy little Koma Cafe. I'd be happy to grab food to go in the future or meet a friend there. Fast service and they clear tables right away. If I were to describe Koma in three words it would be: cozy, hearty, and nourishing. read more

Coffee lovers, head to Koma Cafe, the only coffee shop in the area. Driving 30 minutes from SE DC, it was worth the drive. Here's why. 1) Coffee: Brewing Elixr Coffee, their menu has it all- lattes, espresso, cortados, cold brew, drip coffee. My latte was very creamy, strong, and smooth. I very much enjoyed it. Next time, I'll get their pecan latte. Drinks come in small or large sizes and they have other drinks like a chai latte, hot chocolate, and tea. 2) Service: It's friendly and efficient. The barista handled the line with ease and my latte was in my hands under five minutes. 3) Space: It's a very nice place with indoor and outdoor seating. Coffee beans, wine bottles, and other goods decorate the walls for sale. They have strong wifi and outlets throughout. It's an Italian restaurant as well so they serve breakfast and lunch until 4 p.m. and then change to dinner service. 4) Area: It's near many great markets, murals, and there's street parking nearby. If you're into art, wander the streets finding public art and Little Free Library boxes. read more

This place blew me away! The food was incredibly fresh, made to order, and tasted amazing. I was curious as to why there weren't many reviews yet so I'm assuming it's new. Our food was hand delivered to us and the waitstaff was incredibly excited and friendly. It was quite busy for a Saturday morning! There's a smaller seating area available but we were able to snag a table. I was impressed by the selection and how tasty everything is. Still wondering what cheese they used in the egg and cheese croissant... it was phenomenal. The coffee was great. A nice bold flavor, maybe a little smokiness to it. Oat milk and almond milk are an additional 0.75 cents, while flavor shots are 0.50 cents. Two drinks and the two meals came to $35. I thought it was a great price for the quality, service and taste. read more

This is a cute little gem that just opened 10 months ago or so. I used to live a few blocks away and the only central place for food or a coffee (or anything) is on Main Street or flower so this is a wonderful addition to this neighborhood. It is ADORABLE and cozy - just as I stated, if you want to work here, get there early or sit and wait. I got an iced rose cardamom matcha and monkey bread - delicious AND alone should tell you this place is certified "HIPSTER" - with a full bar, wine, and full plate options. I would love to come back for happy hour or dinner. Try it out!! P.S. Staff was super friendly and welcoming read more

Breakfast at Koma was a GREAT idea. We walked about twenty minutes there and back--the location is safe, pleasant and if you were to drive, parking is very accessible. Speaking of accessible--their front door/stairs is ADA accessible. Coffee was perfection, smoothies were fresh, and the breakfast sandwiches were on-point. Crispy yet perfectly buttered Croissant with egg, cheese, and a side salad was exactly what my morning needed. read more

CUTE little coffee shop, great service, and the BEST LATTE I've had in a long time! Got the pistachio orange latte and croissant sandwich to go (sorry no pics!). Latte was the highlight; it's out of my way but I will be back just for that! Sandwich was good, but a little soggy/messy to eat in the car. I met the owner who was working behind the bar, and she seems fabulous. Decore is very cute and it has nice indoor and outdoor seating. Highly recommend! read more

This is a cute little cafe with great vibes. It's a great spot to enjoy an afternoon latte and a good book. I will be back again!

The space is hard to beat with its cleanliness, seating, and good neighborhood vibes. Sometimes seating can be tricky but if you are patient you will be okay. The staff is friendly, welcoming, and engaged. From coffees to everything on the food menu, you will find a variety of foods. Portions are large and the quality of ingredients makes the food delicious. If you are stay past 4pm you can also enjoy dinner items such as pastas, pizza, and wine/beers. Whether you are looking for a place to work and dine, you may get too comfortable and not want to leave. read more

The staff is very nice.Im always greeted with a warm welcoming hi when I visit Koma. They have good lattes and delicious pastries.

We're in the middle of planning a move to Maryland and stopped in for a quick lunch--and we're so glad we did! The PB&J on sourdough was a nostalgic treat with a gourmet twist--perfectly toasted with just the right balance of creamy peanut butter, fruit and sweet jam. The chicken tacos were fresh, flavorful, and packed with just enough heat to keep things interesting. And the vanilla latte? Smooth, comforting, and exactly what we needed to fuel the rest of our day. Friendly service and a cozy vibe made it a great midday break. Highly recommend if you're in the area! We plan to be back as resident locals. read more

Pete is awesome, let's just start there. I would take this man's food recommendation any day, all day. Today was my first time visiting Koma Cafe, which is my neighborhood coffee spot, literally a one minute drive from my house. I came in with no expectations or anything, didn't know what we were going to order. We just willy-nilly walked in. I asked my best friend who once lived in Takoma Park to come check it out with me. As soon as we walked in, we were immediately greeted and happy hour was just starting. We were given the menus and Pete shared some of his favorite items and they were all a hit. We really were only coming to check the interior out and just get a matcha to go (my best friend loves them), however, once we got inside, we knew we had to sit and order. The happy hour items were extremely delicious and the Caramelized Onion Fig Spread is something serious paired with the Burrata and bread and it's heavenly. The cafe is warm and cozy, and they had a great assortment of wines. Parking is available directly in front of the café and there's additional parking on the side as well as street parking. Definitely returning to try out Pete's pasta recommendations! read more

Great service from a lovely young lady. Solid coffee in a mug. Great that they state a refresh on the mug of coffee is free. It's got a great cafe setting nestled in a neighborhood of residential and small commercial buildings. My only discomfort was with the ambient noise of the place. The refrigerator cases near the seating area do like all of them do and emit a constant unpleasant mechanical sound. The music was a bit loud for my tastes too. That's a personal preference though. Others may be just fine with it. I'd come back. read more

Very charming coffee cafe in relaxing Takoma Park. If you love a traditional macchiato drink or an iced cold vanilla Latte, please come here! The pear salad was a very generous bowl of mixed greens, sweet fruit, thinly sliced pears and lots of prosciutto, LOTS! Dressing was light and complemented the ingredients. Other diners had overstuffed sandwiches with sides of chips. There are some bench style tables in the front patio and small cozy tables for interior dining. Great welcoming vibe, fantastic servers and baristas! read more

My wife and I were visiting from out of town, and a local friend recommended this café for coffee and a snack. It was a Monday , not sure if that matters, but worth noting. We told the cashier it was our first time here. I ordered a croissant egg and cheese, but they were out of croissants, so I substituted an everything bagel. Then I ordered an ube iced latte, which led to some confusion , first I was told they were out of ube, then told they actually had some. I'm still not sure if it was added in the end, but the drink was good regardless. Aesthetics: 8/10 Food: 8/10 Drink: 8/10 Where things went downhill was the service. The barista with colored hair initially brought me a regular iced latte. When I mentioned it was supposed to be ube, she seemed a bit irritated, maybe with herself, maybe with me, and remade it (or just added syrup, which was fine). Later, as we were finishing up, I went to grab a to-go box for my wife's leftovers. I asked the gentleman at the bar, and he kindly pointed me to the self-service station behind me, joking that it was okay since it was our first time. Super nice interaction, 10/10 for him. However, when I couldn't find to-go cups there and reached for one near the espresso machine, the same barista reacted pretty dramatically, sighing loudly, folding her arms, and even dropping her head onto the counter. It was uncomfortable and honestly unnecessary. I genuinely hope she was just having a rough day, but it did leave a sour note on our visit. Overall, the place has great food and a nice vibe, but the service experience made me feel unwelcome. I probably wouldn't return, though I hope others have a better experience than we did. read more

I live 5 min from this place and have been there many times since it opened. The coffee is fine if expensive. It used to be a coffeeshop and cafe where you could chill and talk and do work. Now it is, apparently, a restaurant and they are very strict about it. I was there in the corner of the bar--not taking up a table, just one seat in an unobtrusive spot--for less than 15 min before I was asked to leave for not ordering. I was of course going to order coffee and a pastry while there, but I like to think about what I want and settle myself before ordering. I would get asking me to leave if I was there for an hour without ordering and repeatedly refused to order, but this is ridiculous. Don't offer free wifi and advertise as a coffeeshop if you don't want people working there. If you're a restaurant, ok, be a restaurant and no one will be confused. There's also many other ways to go about it, like maybe asking if you can take my order instead of assuming someone won't buy anything and telling them to leave. I live 5 min from here and I won't return, not even for the restaurant side of things. Be better. read more

It is a small cafe with a lot of seatings available. The food was okay but the lattes were great! Unfortunately I bit into a few eggshells in my croissant which were very hard and unpleasant. I did raise my voice to get the servers attention but maybe they didn't hear me. It was also pretty salty, most likely because of the prosciutto. It's not somewhere I'd try again anytime soon. read more

I stopped by Koma Cafe as I was looking for a good place to study this afternoon. Everything about this place exceeded my expectations and I will surely be back! The service was great, I had such a helpful and friendly waiter. I first ordered an iced pecan latte, which gave me the perfect caffeine fix I needed to get some work done. Stayed for a few hours and ended up trying the pepperoni pizza as well, which was delicious! The dough was perfectly soft inside and crisp on the edges; the cheese fresh; and the pepperoni plenty! I appreciate that they had outlets along the wall so I could work, and no one rushed me out, which was greatly appreciated. I felt welcome the entire time. I can't wait to come back and am so glad I stumbled across this neighborhood spot. read more
