Black Lion Coffee & Café

It’s been years since I’ve had such great coffee, I drove here since I was looking for a new place to get work done for school, and hopefully a better quality in my espresso. The taste here blew me away, the owner was also a sweetheart as well!

The coffee here is definitely gourmet and worth trying. It's fresher than Starbucks. Yirgacheffe is my favorite.

I'm a coffee expert. I know that's quite a claim. I used to roast and sell coffee in my early 20s and have tried hundreds of varieties and types. I can say that the coffee here is fresh and good variety and that this is a top-rate place.

Really really good coffee and pistachio berry croissant

I love the coffe there, my kids got to the school very close and I like to get a cup of coffe there,but I dont think I will come back. The last time I was there, the lady made me wait for 5 minutes without tell me anything while she was making a coffe to someone in the kitchen and organizing her work spaces. I mean, I get it, but at least say "give me a second" or greet the costumer. I left annoyed for wait. I love the man, so welcoming! I just want to go a coffe place where it doesnt look they make you a favor for give you coffe. Btw not the first time the lady seems annoyed when I ask for a coffee.

I was excited to try good Ethiopian coffee . I asked the lady about the different choices and if she could recommend some good ones however , she was very rude and not very helpful !! Customer service has to improve !

Best coffee in the area. Owner and staff always friendly.

Great place overall- quaint, cozy coffee shop with wonderful customer service. Highly recommended.

This coffee shop definitely stands out in the crowd- coffee beans from Ethiopia (very unique flavor) and roasted locally at the store. The brewing is great too, I love how the coffee is served optimally hot.

Incredible cappuccino, but not so nice to LGBTQ , the woman refused to make me a drink cz I complained she puts her hands in coffee beans when roasting them .

Lovely coffee shop in Rockville. Fresh roasted coffee, great selection of beans (mostly from Ethiopia I think), nice service too. Highly recommend.
