THREELECHESLAYEREDCAKE(5 NOMs) More layers more fun with Three Leches Layered Cake Georgia Ave in Silver Spring, DC’s suburb. We decided to stop by one of the local independent coffee shops and see what sweets they have to offer. After all cake makes for a great breakfast. They serve up several different desserts, but this beautiful thick slice just caught our eyes. We are big fans of putting large things like that in our mouth. Multiple layers of leche goodness with creamy filling and a thick caramelized layer top. Very sweet and very filling dessert that would be perfect to share with a friend, or if you hungry greedy like us eat all by yourself. Served with a side of whip cream creak because you can never have enough sweetness. Great nomnom from a great local shop that also serves up some good breakfast food and drinks. Check out more fun reviews and pictures on my blog, link in the bio.

Great place for studying and hanging out! It’s small and cozy and has a very nice design. They have really good coffee and different kind of tea(loose leaf). I have also tried the apple pie and homemade muffin and they were amazing.

I’m always on the lookout for coffee shops that aren’t Seattle-based and are locally owned. This place has a great vibe, good drinks, and pastries that are fine.

Decour is nice, lots of seating and a few couches around a coffee table. Lots of outlets too. Service– they were very nice, but delivery left something to be desired. I gave up potatoes for Lent and asked that if the chips were potato(as opposed to corn), I could get something else with it. She said they weren’t potato, then I pointed to bag where it said«potato» and she goes, «oh I thought you meant like fries. No worries. Then she offered more fruit or salad in its place. I said fruit, she gave me a huge pile of lettuce. Oh well? Food was pretty good; I got the salmon + cream cheese sandwich on focaccia bread. Fruit salad consisted of strawberries and oranges. Salad was regular mixed-leaf with tomatoes, onions, oil and vinegar. All were pretty good.

Was extremely dissapointed. Thought from the good reviews I’d have a better experience. It literally feels like they went to Costco bought a lot of stuff and dumped it on your plate. Their salad looks like the spring mix from Costco and their muffins look bought too(maybe they’re not? Idk.) I ordered a waffle that took 25 min to get to me. And when it did it was drenched in syrup and might as well have been a pancake because it was soggy, and it was extremely undercooked. My friend got some kind of tuna salad sandwich and he said it was the most depressing tuna salad he’d ever had. 2 stars for the friendly staff and nice atmosphere when the lights are turned down. Will not be returning. Better off spending more money at Madeline 2 blocks away for better food.

If you want to have great coffee AND great breakfast(I’m talking omelettes and quiches and pastries and more), this is the best place in the silver spring area. The food is delicious, the coffee is high quality, and the atmosphere is exactly what you’d wish for in a community coffee shop. Hands down my favorite place to sit with a book, with a laptop, or with a friend.

The café is definitely unique in its ambiance, it felt like I walked into an antique shop but I still can’t get over my watered down chai tea latte :(I know I shouldn’t reflect my review on this one time experience so maybe I’ll visit again and give it a higher rating next time. While the breakfast menu was limited, so was the rest of the food menu. I didn’t have much of a great experience, just decent.

Small cozy atmosphere, felt like I was inside someone’s living room. Came here with friends on a Sunday morning. I was kind of hungry so I was hoping to grab coffee and a breakfast sandwich here. However they don’t offer many breakfast selections and overall it seemed like their food was pretty pricey. I’ve decided to go with latte with skim milk. We’ve decided to stay so they brought our drinks out in different mugs so it really felt like I was having a cup of coffee at someone’s house. When we were there it was pretty empty so it was a nice and quiet for us to read and chit chat. Honestly my latte was just okay. There was too much foam, I felt like I was just drinking foam for the first half. It definitely was not my favorite. The owner was really friendly though :) Free street parking on the weekends!

A nice comfortable space to enjoy a comfy chair and have coffee and a snack. And the have gluten-free options for those of us with touchy tummies!

My mocha was good but pricey, and the space is a little too claustrophobic for me, but I can completely understand why many others love this café. Worth checking out if you are in Silver Spring!

The vegetarian omelette served on a croissant bun is to die for. SOMUCHYUM. And it comes with a simple little side salad, which was a very nice surprise! The coffee is standard but also very satisfying and the staff are dolls. I wish I lived closer so I could eat this breakfast on the regular. I like that it has a quirky interior but the assemblage of vintage goods were a bit dusty, much like they could use some love and a little upkeep. I didn’t hate it inside — it was fun to peruse the space — but it was nicer to eat outside in «fresh» air rather than the staleness of the living room inside.

This place is such a breath of fresh air. I discovered this café on Unilocal when I was in the neighborhood. As soon as I walked up, I was welcomed with a smile. I ordered coffee and the egg sandwich on croissant. For such a simple dish, the presentation was so nice. The egg(omelette) was flavorful and the croissant was nice and flaky. It was accompanied by a mixed green salad with a nice dressing and a small portion of fruits. The plate was huge. Two people could have split it, but I was pretty hungry so I was scarfed it all down :) They have a nice garden/patio space in the back. For a latte and the food, I paid around $ 13. But not a bad price for the size of the portions.

Love, LOVE, love this place! I stumbled onto this place walking one day — and I am happy to have found this gem in downtown Silver Spring. They serve breakfast all day — fresh. And wonderful lunch sandwiches and desserts — big portions! I am a tea connoisseur and I love their teas — try their essential green tea! They have free wi-fi so a lot of people come in to work, but because its a hidden gem it doesn’t get too crowded like your local Starbucks. The owner is, shall we say, «a trip.» Either you get his sense of humor or you don’t(think Seinfield) I love it here — and adore the friendly and helpful staff. Has a very bohemian, trendy atmosphere.

I was working a short term job in the Silver Spring area and found Zed’s almost by accident! Wow am I glad I did! It is a great little coffee shop and a pleasant place to relax, eat and surf the web! They have free wi-fi with respectable speed. Their coffee is excellent and served in unique mugs. The food was wonderful as well. I ate there several times while in Silver Spring and felt almost like I was in my own living room at home! Make this a stop if you are in the Silver Spring area.

Where the heck have I been? I love this place. Yes it’s true to the marketing– it is like a giant living room! So if you’re alone or with a friend it is still comfy and inviting. I like the patio out back. I know what you’re thinking, what patio? Uh huh, walk around the cash register and through the door and you’ll see an eclectic assortment of furniture on a deck. Now there may be no rooftop view, but if you want to sit outside and enjoy a cup of coffee in piece in quiet(no cat calling, shenanigans or peddlers) it’s a little oasis back there. The food is also delish. When I need a chocolate fix, I come here for a slice of their chocolate cake. It’s rich and cures the urge for chocolate for a weeks. I recently tried their omelet. It’s quite possibly the best $ 7 I’ve spent on breakfast so far this year(pic speaks for itself). The service is friendly and sometimes they top it off with a happy ending, a free cookie!

Zed’s café is what a coffee shop should be: — Amazing coffee — Intimate & cozy — Great casual vibe — Great, homemade treats & light bites, prepared on the spot — Great service I tried their Macchiato which was amazing. They’re in downtown Silver Spring, and there’s ample off-street parking within a 2 – 3 block radius. It’s not a huge place so I could see it getting crowded on weekends. Hence, that’s why I came during the afternoon when they didn’t have any events going on.
