Gardenia’s Cafe

Gardenia's Cafe is unexpectedly delicious. I say unexpectedly because it is a quite cozy establishment, with just a few tables, located in a strip mall. One must order at the counter (though extremely friendly staff will bring your food once it's ready). Priority is given to freshness and quality - the juices are fresh squeezed, pastries, tortillas and breads are fresh baked. This is evident in every wonderful bite. These dishes are created with care and everything we tasted reflected that. The Huevos Rancheros are the best I've had outside of Mexico. The breakfast burritos were beautifully balanced with the tortilla crisp on the outside - wonderful! We look forward to returning and trying their lunch and dinner options as well. The only thing I would change is for a little more spac

10/10 experience I would come back for the delicious iced mocha alone, but the fresh green juice and bread pudding muffin take it over the top. It was great they offer typical American breakfast options as well as multicultural ones as well. The huevos rancheros were perfection and the salvaderone typico was very good as well (I do wish there was a greenery on the plate like avocado or cilantro). You get a menu and order at the front register then sit wherever you like and they will bring you your order. We got to interact every member of the family that runs the place and they were all so friendly and attentive. 10/10 recommendation

It was really good, they didn't have grilled cheese in menu but they custom made it for my kid. I tried huevos rancheros - it was a big meal, very delicious, I liked that fresh salsa taste with eggs. My husband really liked egg+cheese sandwich. We waited only about 10-15min for the order which is super fast comparing most breakfast places I know. For a breakfast of two adults and a kid we spent about $45. It was our first time there, so they gave us a free muffin. Well deserved 5 stars for service and food!

We tried this small and cozy café after a friend had recommended it. We were immediately greeted with warmth and welcoming smiles. They explained the menu to us and all the many in house food options they make. This place has the freshest food and many healthy options. The staff was friendly and very attentive. Equally as important, the food was scrumptious! We plan to go back again and make it our go to for brunch dates. What we ordered: Salvadorian tipico Huevos Rancheros Coffee Dulce de leche cappuccino Mango juice And they gifted us a free pastry! (Pictured)

I had an absolutely wonderful experience at Gardenia’s Café in Gaithersburg! I ordered the mushroom and onion omelette with white cheddar, perfectly paired with crispy potato hash browns and warm sourdough toast. Every bite was delicious and made with such fresh ingredients. My daughter had the breakfast sandwich with bacon and mozzarella on sourdough, and it was equally exquisite — hearty, flavorful, and cooked to perfection. The coffee was top notch too!! The atmosphere is cozy and inviting, and the service was warm and attentive without being rushed. Gardenia’s Café truly knows how to elevate classic breakfast favorites. This will definitely be a regular spot for us!
