MD Coffee Shop One Of Best In DC Metro: Eater DC

MARYLAND — One Maryland coffee shop is considered essential to the area's dining scene and worth the trip to eat there, according to a recently refreshed list compiled by Eater DC.

The October 2024 list of "18 Best Coffee Shops Around D.C." includes a mix of independent coffee shops always ready to dispense fruit-forward pour-overs, flavored lattes, nitro cold brews, and pastries, the list's editors said.

Takoma Beverage Company at 6917 Laurel Ave. in Takoma Park, made the list.

What Eater DC had to say about the coffee shop:

"The all-day coffee shop and bar from two Northside Social alums brought pour-overs, rotating art exhibits, and mixed drinks to downtown Takoma Park in 2017. The popular cafe has since doubled its seat count by growing into the space next door. A custom espresso machine built for the restaurant is fed a strict diet of Counter Culture Coffee, and a front counter with a white quartz top features a display case stocked with pastries and other impulse buys. Open daily from 7:30 a.m. to 9 p.m. (and 10 p.m. on weekends) with cocktails, beer, and wine, too."

Here's how Takoma Beverage Company describes its passion for coffee:

"At Takoma Bev Co, we are passionate about serving delicious food and freshly brewed coffee to our customers. Our chefs use the highest quality ingredients to create an extensive all-day menu with something for everyone. We believe that a great meal starts with fresh ingredients and a commitment to quality.
