Empress Coffee & Cocktails

Loved the aesthetic of the place! The owner was very friendly and nice. We got one of each Pizza, the Persian Pizza was my favorite! I also really liked the pomegranate slushie! Their service was great and food even better. I definitely recommend checking them out!

Great spot for good, really fun seasonal lattes, and absolutely excellent cocktails. Also can’t go wrong with any of the food. Croissant sandwiches are great and don’t sleep on the coffee cakes and desserts either!

Omg grate place so cute and beautiful. Drinks are so good and coffee is great too. I enjoyed the banana nut bread 🍞 😋 🤪 The tea cakes are a must as well.

This is a beautiful little shop, filled with color and warmth, serving excellent coffee and accented with friendly service. While I didn't sample any food or cocktails, I trust they are made with the same quality and care as the delicious coffee I have sampled.

This place is such a cute little coffee shop in the Kentlands of Gaithersburg, with a special offering you don’t see every day—Persian pizza (پیتزا مخلوط, meaning "mixed pizza"). I absolutely loved it and would definitely come back again! A few helpful tips: The Persian pizza is only available on Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays. It’s not vegetarian and comes in a large size—perfect for sharing between two people. It takes about 20–25 minutes to prepare, so plan for a bit of a wait (totally worth it!). The staff were super friendly and accommodating, and I genuinely felt at home there. The interior is cozy and charming, though I think they could benefit from working with a TI architect to better utilize the space. One small suggestion: it would be great if they installed a door closer
