I walked by while on my way to lunch and thought the cafe aesthetics is really pretty and modern looking. Didn’t expect to see that in this area. The block around the corner on Georgia on the way to the cafe felt very shady and I felt unsafe. That itself might deter me from visiting this cafe alone. The pistachio latte at 50% sweetness was pretty good, but I think I might try even less sweet next time. The tiramisu was very different from what I normally eat. It was on a heavier and creamier side. I prefer my Tiramisu lighter.

It is so nice to have a place for a special breakfast and more. The pistachio croissant was nothing short of decadent. The cappuccino was not as strong as I like but was piping hot and fresh. The earthenware, sleek tiles, and high ceilings give this place a luxurious feel while remaining relaxed. This is a good spot for treating yourself or just getting away from the usual. I would have rated my visit with five stars, but there was only one cashier and one runner available on a holiday weekend. They did their very best, but the wait for coffee was 20 minutes although only one person was before me in line. Nonetheless, the service was pleasant. I would be happy to return and try more items from their interesting menu.

Pretty wide selection of breakfast and lunch items and good coffee. Food comes in large portions and is good quality. The omelette with mushrooms, feta, and sausage was particularly delicious. This is a great addition to the cafe options in Silver Spring!

My first time coming here and I loved it! It’s so bright and cute inside, with plenty of seating inside and outside. Everything on the menu looked great. I got the bacon, egg & cheese sandwich on a croissant and it was perfect! My iced mocha with oat milk was the right balance of sweet and creamy, while not overpowering the coffee flavor. I’ll definitely be coming back to try the pastries and desserts, which looked divine!

Great coffee shop with a continental feel! Atmosphere is social and has area to sit and have a short meeting or quick study before running off to handle errands or business! Hot fresh coffee with a spirited smile, done to your specificity. I love this place.

The first thing that caught my attention was the lighting—beautiful natural light streams in, creating a relaxing atmosphere. The macchiato is rich, strong, and full of flavor. They also have a few outlets, making it a great spot to work remotely or enjoy a good book.

What a wonderful addition to the neighborhood! Delicious food and coffee, with a wide assortment of healthy options and freshly baked treats (their baklava is excellent) and cooked meals that taste homemade good while also presenting well. While a bit further than other coffee shops we’ve enjoyed revisiting Prime several times within the first week of discovering.
