"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."

"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. ✨"

"A cozy spot with both indoor and outdoor seating. Outside, the breeze is gentle and refreshing, creating the perfect atmosphere to relax. With delicious coffee in hand, it’s an ideal place to let your thoughts flow."
