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!

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 hinge to keep the door shut during colder months.

That said, I have to highlight their saffron honey latte—it was absolutely incredible! Overall, this is a lovely local gem with great vibes, delicious food, and a warm, welcoming atmosphere. I can’t wait to go back!

Empress Coffee and Cocktails is the whimsical little hub this neighborhood needed. As a huge fan of Mackenzie-Childs, I am obsessed with the playful, elegant decor — it’s cozy, charming, and totally suits the Kentlands. The coffee is delicious and the atmosphere is perfect for slow mornings or catching up with friends.
The service could be better ( warmth, attentiveness and speed) – it’s just okay now — but the vibe more than makes up for it. Overall, it’s an adorable cozy spot in our neighborhood! It would feel like a home for anyone who appreciates design, comfort, and a little bit of magic. ✨

Super cute coffee spot that offers spiked options. Stopped in on a whim and was not disappointed. Had an espresso martini and a lemonade slushee to go. Staff was very welcoming and the ambiance was nice. Would definitely recommend if you want to get away from the more commercialized options

100% recommend this wonderful place!! Great customer service. Pizza was the best you can get in DMV. Also Lavashak martini is the best martini you can get. All the cocktail and drinks are unique. Won’t really find them anywhere else! Trust me and just try for a once, you won’t regret it!
Will definitely be back Mr. Sam
