Best Coffee in Frederick Md

Needless to say, times sure have changed in regards to getting your hands on some great coffee.

Back in the day, before I acquired my taste for good coffee, I remember my Dad used to drive up to the local 7-11 or Highs to get his tall cup of coffee before driving into his office.

He had a coffee pot at home but for whatever reason, buying his coffee elsewhere made it that much better.

Then, as I started to come into my own with MY taste for coffee, Starbucks was on the scene and all of a sudden coffee became a ‘thing’!

I learned what the word ‘barista’ meant and that a Caramel Macchiato was heaven in a cup!

Lucky for us, small business owners in Frederick County began opening local coffee shops, enhancing the coffee drinking experience even more by offering:

• Locally Roasted Coffee Beans
• Coffee in Small Batches
• Specialty Coffee
• Fair-Trade Coffees
• Organic Coffee
• Several Varieties of Coffee Including Special Blends

What Do Local Coffee Shops Offer?

Not only are each of these coffee shops a great place to get the best cup of coffee, but also, each offers its’ own unique café experience including:

• Variety of Coffee Drinks:
  • Lattes (including Chai Tea Lattes), Iced Coffees, Espresso Drinks (can add an extra shot or 2 or 3!), Cold Brews, Cappuccinos, Caffé Mochas, Café Au Lait, Americanos, Cortados, Macchiatos, Frappés, Bullet Proofs, Flat Whites, & Red Eyes
• Casual Atmosphere
• Local Artists
• Live Music
• Local Produce
• Good Food
• Bagged Coffee Beans for Purchase
• Coffee Subscriptions
• Patio Dining with Outdoor Seating
• Free Wi-Fi
• Venue for Groups such as Moms Groups, Book Clubs, Meetings, etc.

And the best thing about all of this is that not only will you get excellent, friendly service and a stellar cup o’ joe to wake up your taste buds, but you’ll also be supporting the local economy.

Truly, it’s a win-win!

“You could spend your time and money at a chain coffee shop but it will never have the charm and individuality small local shops provide. Local coffee shops offer not just a cup of coffee but an oasis away from the norm.”

Besides the baked goods, which we get from a bakery, everything else is made here in our coffee shop. This includes our dressings, batter for waffles, spreads, sandwiches, just to mention a few.

We provide a relaxing atmosphere to reflect, chat, laugh and feel good in a clean and safe environment.

Just one word about our teas, this includes our authentic bubble teas. We import tea directly from an organic tea farm in Taiwan.

Also our coffees are of high quality beans, roasted locally. Our coffee shop is, as many of our customers attest, ‘simply a gem tucked away’.”

“We have been in business for over twenty years, first in Loudoun county and now in Frederick, so our family has had a lot of experience with customer trends. As a result, we have established one of the first combination bubble tea/ coffee shops in the state.

Bubble tea is a new and very popular alternative to coffee, but it also has crossover tendencies. One of our biggest sellers is a coffee bubble tea and many of our customers ask for bubble tea toppings, like our homemade brown sugar tapioca pearls, to be added to their lattes and coffee.

With so many combinations of flavors, we can offer our customers almost unlimited variety in both their coffee ad tea choices, and this sets apart in downtown Frederick.”
