Hidden gem of the shady grove medical area. Authentic and well-sourced coffee. Definitely the best coffee shop in Gaithersburg and probably the entirety of Montgomery county, which is rife with middling Starbucks chains. Can’t go wrong with the drip coffee. The pastries are pretty good too. Lots o
This place had some decent coffee and a decent atmosphere, but I think Coffee Republic feels a lot more lively and welcoming with the nice amount of sunlight and a more open spacing layout.
I got a cup of Chai and thought it was pretty decent. Not too strong and with a good amount of milk to keep i
Nestled in some quiet tiny Rockville suburb no-name shopping area sits a surprise diamond in the rough coffee café. I am truly at a loss for words in this review right now. My unplanned visit for emergency caffiene at Black Lion Coffee Café was utterly and overwhelmingly one of the best things I'v
Cutest little Cafe. Warm and inviting seating area. Lots of wood and warm earth tones. Staff was friendly and our coffee was delicious. More relaxing atmosphere than the more well known Coffee chain and less crowded. Hidden gem.
Warm, Friendly, Informative, Courteous service. I appreciate that my questions were answered with respect and a smile. I had not had Ethiopian coffee before and our barista was nice and she didn't make us feel as if it was a nuisance to answer our questions. I ended up going with a Chai latte howeve
Excellent coffee. Don’t come in expecting bubbly-friendly customer service, because you most likely won’t get it. I’m fine with that. Love the coffee and it’s a good place to sit and think while enjoying a cup.
Black Lion Cafe now has bubble tea! We tried the medium cup of Thai Tea Bubble Tea on the left and the Black Milk Tea Bubble Tea on the right. Overall, I would say they were great. I've tried a lot of bubble tea in the area and I would say this place is comparable to them. Also, great outdoor seatin
If you take coffee seriously and appreciate the difference of a good quality blend and brew, then this is your spot. We could recognize it as soon as we walked in and smelled it, and our barista clearly put in the time and effort to make it right. We got a pair of large lattes for the road and were
Love this little shop, coffee is excellent.
The ambiance is wonderful, they keep a coffee roaster right out in front, really cool touch. The interior is very inviting, with ample seating. They focus just on Ethiopian coffee and all of their single origins are excellent.
Great locally owned shop, e
Great customer service! Ambiance is perfect, almond croissant is A-1! & their coffee is better than any popular coffee chain. This will be my go to place from now on!
Super cool little cafe and rostery serving traditional and Ethiopian coffee and amazing French pastries. Trendy modern vibe with East African influence. Pistachio raspberry croissant is unbelievable.
Great place great coffee. I go here whenever I'm in the area. I drive by at least 6 coffee shops to get to the Black Lion. The coffee is top notch. The owners are the best and at least one of them are almost always there. I keep a supply of their fresh roasted beans at home. They roast the beans on
Great coffee shop near Universities at Shady Grove. Not too crowded at 9AM. I ordered a delicious Cafe latte and an almond croissant.
I recently bought coffee beans from them and it is the best coffee I've ever had in my life! So fresh and so much aroma. They were very helpful when choosig from their different options too. I will buy my coffee from here from now on!
Most definitely the best coffee in the entire area ! Should it be for a macchiato, expresso or regular coffee there is no other place offering delicious coffee like at Black Lion. Not only the owners are true connoisseurs (and very friendly by the way!!) but the coffee comes straight from Ethiopia w
I lived in Kenya for one year. And then, I couldn't find good coffee beans. But now I found black Lion coffee. They have great coffee beans! They roast beans every day! Now, I’m a big fan of Black Lion coffee!!!
Got a drip coffee and brewed coffee. Both were excellent and the owners were very nice and helpful. Nice comfy feel like a mom n pop coffee shop. Wish their mugs were for sale, very neat. Will be going again
