Great pastries! Mostly serves adjacent office buildings
Do they wash the espresso machine often? Coffee smells very strange and I couldn't finish it...
Staff was very nice & accommodating + great coffee!
Tried going here as the website said "open" at 8am. I was there at 8:20am and the place was abandoned. I suggest calling first because they obviously open whenever they feel like it. I won't be going back and wasting my time.
Wasn't able to get the coffee. Drove all the way from Bethesda to here and paid for parking, just to find out that it now closes 30 min earlier than it used to. Why is there no hours on their website (or whether they open on holidays)? Why is there no hours update on Google Maps? I had one day off and still missed it because they couldn't bother to update their hours online.
Convenient little spot
GREAT COFFEE, WONDERFUL STAFF. If you’re looking for a great cappuccino, this place is a gem. I love finding good coffee in my travels (typically hotels serve Starbucks), and this one jumped up and right next ti my hotel. In addition to the wonderful tasty joe, the staff were amazing. There was one lady serving an entire cafe of busy professionals and not one of them complained. She handed everything quick and with a huge smile on her face. I’ll be coming here everyday on my trip.
Great coffee! Nice, friendly service!
Great service… n coffee was good, from Ruanda.
Friendly staff - good coffee I'm glad they made through covid, so many places closed Stop in and have a cup!
Excellent espresso and drip. Incredibly friendly barista made this a wonderful way to start the day. I will definitely look for Rawandan for coffee in the future.
Crystal coffee shop is a great place to pop in and get a wonderful cup of java. All of the coffee is African and environmentally harvested. The manager of this family owned coffee shop is from Africa and a very conversant young man. Because I live in Maryland I'm only in the Tyson Corners area of Virginia about once a month but whenever I am there I stop in for some coffee and a chat. Highly recommend you visit this place and support this cafe. Like so many other small mom and pop operations it is fighting to stay alive in this current environment.
Place is so nice and the food and drinks were absolutely amazing. Super friendly service as well, will definitely be back again.
great coffee and breakfast spot! ample room for getting work done as well.
Didn’t even bother to post that they are closed . It’s 9:15 am on Friday . Drive here for nothing .
Honestly not that great, I had high expectations due to the quality of the beans but the execution isn't there. First off it's stuffy in there which prevents you from wanting to linger, not to mention the lack of tables. Iced coffee is incredibly bitter, and they charge for milk alternatives. A good concept but there are ways the coffee and experience could be better.
Great food and good portion at worthwhile prices. Excellent staff and services.
Great breakfast sandwiches for amazing price
The coffee is really good and their breakfast sandwiches are really worth the money. Some (one out of the many they have) of the lunch sandwiches are small but all of them are delicious and come with free chips. Definitely worth swinging through
very small and overpriced lunch sandwiches.
