Coffee: 3/5 tasted more like oatmilk with a side of watered down coffee. Would try a hot latte next time and hopefully it would be better given that this is a cafe. Food: 3.5/5 for the price I paid for a lunch sandwich, I expected it to be better. The piece of chicken itself was plain but juicy, and not enough honey mustard. This was something I could make better at home unfortunately. Service: 4/5 we used the kiosk to order and it seemed like only some things could be customized and other things couldn't. The service was polite and took less than 10 min for things to be ready, but it was annoying that I couldn't ask for a different kind of cheese on the breakfast sandwiches and I could remove tomatoes but not the red onions off my sandwich. Ambiance: indoor and outdoor seating on a nice day, sits between 2-4. Dog friendly outdoor seating. read more

Cute little coffee shop with yummy chai. I got an iced chai and it was sweet and good. Their caprese salad was also appetizing, but needed a bit more balsamic. I also ordered a huge chocolate chip cookie, which tasted good, but was a little more crunchy than I prefer. Service was fairly prompt (my salad took a bit longer than my drink). read more

Avocado toast... Not bad but bread was not toasted enough to know it was TOAST. Service... OK Iced tea...the iced tea actually had SOAP IN IT. An Employee verified this. Coffee was too weak. Water plus a drop of coffee. Will not go there again... Ever! read more

Had avocado toast that was pretty good . The iced tea had soap in it! I am not exaggerating it had soap in it I brought it back the waitress if you want to call her that poured a little bit for herself she spit it out immediately because it had soap in it. That's the first thing then I went and got a cup of coffee cuz I thought well if I can't have I still have coffee. The coffee literally tasted like tap water with a few drops of coffee in the tap water. The next thing that they messed up on is there a refrigerated beverages the refrigerator was 75% empty and there wasn't a diet drink in the entire restaurant! Not one diet Pepsi not one diet Sprite none! Save your money save your time.Avoid Norby's read more

I heard about the cafe from a coworker and decided to go during lunch and needless to say I'm never going back for a few reasons. When I walked in it didn't smell pleasant I proceeded to order. The young lady that helped me select a menu item was really nice and helpful as I was waiting near the condiment station I observed the person working the kitchen completing orders and she did not look like she was having a good day at all. She was very rude and disrespectful the elderly customer and slamming everyone's food including mine which made me want to get a refund due to her maltreatment of peoples food. The latte tasted really burnt and the flavor syrup doesn't taste like a good quality. The waffle was not crispy at all. One upside was they did have a lot of fruit on the waffle. Needless to say to say it was a waste of cash and food. I would not recommend if you are big on customer service and looking for a cost effective lunch. read more

Seeking out an Italian Soda, partner took us to Norby's Cafe. It wasn't too busy, so service was fast. Liked that the lighting was low during the day as it made the interior feel cool and comforting. Both of our sandwiches were delicious, and the Pineapple Italian Soda I had didn't disappoint! Looking forward to our return! :) read more

We were in the shopping center & the Girlfriend was in the mood for something sweet so we stopped in to ogle the dessert case in this little shop. She selected the Peanut Butter Explosion - a small puck of chocolatey PB deliciousness. We ordered at the counter - there is also a self-serve ordering kiosk as well. There is a nice little seating area - outdoor seating as well. Person at counter was friendly & the area appeared clean - we will have to return to sample some more of the items available. read more

I LOVE that their Large is actually large! Some places nearby have a Large that is maybe 8 ounces. That is NOT a large! They also have great flavors of Syrups that you can have added when making your coffee drink! read more

Nice coffee shop café with a cool outdoor area that is probably amazing when the weather is nice. The service was great but I'm giving it 3 stars because the food just want very good. It was prepared fine, but the bagel sandwich and lreakfast wrap we had were pretty bland. The egg tasted like those reheated frozen egg patties, the cheese was flavorless and the bagel had seen better days. For the price I would hope for better ingredients. The iced coffee was great. read more

Wanted to get a quick bite for breakfast and this was definitely a great place to go! I got the english muffin with egg, cheese, and sausage which was basically a normal tasting breakfast sandwich! My boyfriend got the low carb platter since he's doing keto and he liked it a lot! The cafe was pretty busy but there was always people going in and out to make it easy to find a seat. Service was quick. Would definitely go again. read more

I need to find a place nearby to do some work and I found Norby's Cafe. Cute little cafe with a few tables that offers items such as bagels, acai bowls, coffee, tea, sandwiches, bubble tea, and more. I ordered the Paul Revere on an everything bagel, and a hot matcha latte. The Paul Revere was decent, bagel itself was ok, however I wished they had hot sauce or something (counter only offers salt, pepper, ketchup and mustard). The matcha latte was ok. They have a self-service kiosk or you can order with an employee. There's a long counter by the large window for those using laptops. Wifi is free and works well. I would rate it a 3.5/5, rounding it up to a 4/5. read more

I was really excited to try this local cafe that seemed to have vegan options like avocado toast, a garden wrap, and spring rolls. The business is located close to Rock Creek Trail and I thought a morning routine of a run and breakfast here could be started. When I visited today I ordered an oat milk latte, and then asked if their avocado toast was vegan. The woman at the register said no. I then asked if anything on the menu was vegan. She again replied with a no. I walked away with just an oat milk latte. The latte was creamy and tasted as expected. I enjoyed it. I am sad, however, that the menu lacks a vegan option. I am hoping that this was simply a misunderstanding in what vegan means. If not, then I think it would be wise for this business to purchase a vegan bread to accommodate vegans that want breakfast or lunch sandwiches. I will not be back until I know they have a vegan item on their menu. read more

Good food and coffee. They have a lot of food options. Nice ambiance and not too expensive.

I popped in for a quick snack with my father, nobody greeted us which was fine I guess. It wasn't very busy so I was surprised how long it took for someone to finally approach the counter and take our order. No eye contact from the order taker is what really threw me off, didn't repeat the order, didn't ask for a name. I guess that's why it came out completely wrong. I got my refund and went to Starbucks. read more

Chicken Caesar salad to go, hardly any chicken on it, nasty attitude when I asked for extra dressing. I guess since it was a carryout order, they thought they could get away with ripping me off. Will NEVER spend another penny there!! read more

Love Norby's! Hale to their kale, chicken, Caesar and lox and cream cheese bagel. It's our favorite local lunch spot..

This place just ok. The coffee was ok but the pastries were meh. Go for the drinks maybe.

The women running the shop did everything they could to make my friend and I feel unwelcomed. I had been here before multiple times, but the last time my friend and I went, the lady at the counter walked away from us in the middle of us ordering. We then sat down because we assumed she was too busy to take our order, and another lady came and told us to go back to the counter and order because they were "closing soon" (it was 1:30 p.m., and they closed at 5). The lady had started sweeping and putting up chairs, acting like they were closing. She had actually done this another time when I was by myself, but I didn't realize she was doing it in bad faith. We were put off by this and decided to get our drink from starbucks across the street and come back to sit down and talk (there was no seating area in the starbucks) and the lady freaked out on us. Did everything she could to get us to leave. We refused because she wouldn't give us a real reason, so she pretended to close the entire shop and made everyone leave so we would go. Yikes. read more

I come here when in the area. Food is generally good. I usually get a coffee or tea drink of some kind (depending on my mood at the time). Staff is friendly and professional. Limited seating inside, but nice outdoor patio for the beautiful days. I'll be back for sure. read more

This is the racist establishment and very bad customer service. I went here every day for work usually spent more than $7 for drink but then 1 day I pay less than $3. They told me that I stay too long more than 2 hours and they don't need my support. read more

Following Yelp MD Burbs on Facebook is always great but today was even better! Through their Facebook page I found out that Norby's Cafe was offering a free açaí bowl (only valid for 02/26/2020). Having never had an açaí bowl or knowing anything about it-I ventured over to Norby's to try it out. I arrived around 3:25pm and the place was basically empty. Art work from local schools hung on the wall and Backstreet Boys was playing over the speaker system- I was very excited. When it came time to order I was handed a small piece of paper to check what I wanted in my bowl. I went with: banana, granola, peanut butter, Nutella, and a chocolate drizzle. I handed my slip in and waited about 15 minutes. I have to say there was little to no engagement. I had zero idea why this promotion was going on or why it was special. I found little to no signage besides a sign out front stating they had açaí bowls. It wasn't until I over heard another customer inquiring that I learned today is Norby's first day selling açaí bowls. Normally they will be $9.75. Having never had one I can't gauge if that's expensive or not. Once I got my bowl I was surprised how large it was. It's definitely shareable and was made exactly how I ordered it. I overly enjoyed my bowl, not just because it was free but because it tasted great! It tasted like a smoothie on steroids. The only thing I would do is maybe layer it. Towards the end all of my toppings were gone and I craved more. I do feel like Norby's missed the mark with customer interaction and could've used this as an opportunity to inform people why the promotion was happening. But other than that I enjoyed my visit and wouldn't think twice about returning. read more

Maple bourbon latte with oat milk was pretty good, but it tasted mostly of maple and not much bourbon. So don't expect a strong bourbon flavor. read more

I've been to Norbys a few times and they're very hit or miss. In my most recent trip I had the corned beef rueben and my wife had the 3 cheese grilled cheese. My Rueben was very good and it came with a pickle and a bag of chips. My wife's sandwich on the other hand was inedible as they left pieces of paper attached to each piece of cheese. This is pretty careless as there was more than 1 piece of paper in her sandwich. In the past, I've enjoyed their breakfast sandwiches and their acai bowl. I've found their muffins to be bland. The acai bowl tasted great but their presentation on it wasn't the best. I really hope these guys figure it out because there is a lot of potential here. read more

Norby's is convenient and close and we enjoy the food and coffee. But in the years that we have been going, they have never once opened on time. The door might occasionally be unlocked, but nothing is ready and nothing is on. We watch the cook show up 15 minutes late every time, so if you're hungry or in a hurry, it's best to not be there when they "open". read more

Hidden in the corner of Rock Creek Village Center is Norby's Cafe. I visited on the day that they were offering the free açaí bowls. The açaí bowls seem to be a new item, since I didn't find it on the wall menu. At the cash register, they have a little stack of paper for you to fill out and choose your açaí bowl toppings. I chose the strawberries, blueberries and bananas, coconut shavings, and chia seeds, but they also had honey and peanut butter. For $9.95, they give a decent amount of açaí bowl. It took a bit of time to wait, but it was a nice treat. I don't know if I would go out of my way for the açaí bowl, but if I'm in the area, it's worth trying or checking out their other menu items like baked goods, smoothies and sandwiches. read more

Who doesn't love a free Açaí Bowl?! They were having a special for one free Açaí Bowl per person so I made the drive over. I got bananas, blueberries, strawberries, kiwi, granola, chia seeds, and Nutella drizzle. I'm not sure what the smoothie base was since there wasn't an option to choose, but it was delicious. The atmosphere was very cozy. They had art from a local elementary school in the cafe, and cool succulent plants around the cafe. The cashier and the person who made my food were both very friendly- I enjoyed my experience here and the food. read more

I don't live in the area, so I'm only here when my daughter has viola lessons nearby twice a week. But if I did live in the area, I'd be here all the time. Norby's feels like, and is, the quintessential neighborhood café. They sport an expansive menu, from bubble tea to lattes, from muffins to wraps to Eggs Benedict. And all of it is good. Just finished my Eggs Benedict brunch and dang, coupled with a solid cup of Joe, I'm ready to tackle my weekend. Service is exceptionally friendly and efficient. Do yourself a favor next time you're in the area and drop by. You won't regret it. read more

I am extremely disappointed in them. I had got a caesar salad from them last week on Thursday and it was really good. Today, I got trash. They went and opened up one of those salads you find packaged at safeway for a quick meal and gave that to me ( I didn't notice it, my partner did) I was wondering why it was so nasty today but I found out. I don't trust them anymore read more

Tried this place twice the coffee is okay, pastries stale and overpriced. Mango smoothie, well it would be hard to mess that up.

This place used to be PB's which was mediocre at best, but unfortunately it's not gotten any better in its new iteration as Norby's. I'm hoping their poorly done food and drinks will improve over time with this new management. A couple things from our experience, since I can't get ahold of anyone at the store: * My everything bagel was cooked on the griddle/grill for some reason. It tasted like all the other food that had been cooked on the grill. I think the "cook" got it mixed up with my husband's bagel, which he ordered as a part of a bagel sandwich, since his was on a toasted bagel. Either way, the griddle bagel is disgusting. As a bagel-lover, I was appalled. * My iced chai latte was "watered" down. There was barely any flavor to it. It was more milk and cream than anything else. Don't be cheap with your drinks! * The cheese on my husband's sausage, egg and cheese bagel sandwich was bland. I told him to request a different cheese next time, but you'd think the food overall would be more flavorful--from the drinks to the cheese on the sandwich. It'd be great to find a "regular" place, but unfortunately Norby's isn't it. I'll stick to trekking out to Bethesda bagels (which is actually where they get their bagels from) where they can get a simple bagel with cream cheese order straight. read more
