What People Are Saying
from Google"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"
"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!"
"My friend and I came here for a coffee, which was amazing (for a change). The very nice lady behind the counter told us about their home made food and got us interested in their sourdough pizza. It turned out to be delicious! We learned that the lady actually bakes herself and her mom helps her as a host and a server. They really made us feel at home in a family atmosphere. They even gave us a delicious chocolate cupcake to try. Overall, this was a rare experience and one of the best lunches I’ve had in a while. I highly recommend Gardenia’s Cafe."
"Amazing Personal Approach — and a Rose in the Restroom 🌹 Found the place online and decided to walk in. Maritza, the owner, personally greeted me — such a wonderful, super-friendly lady! She offered great suggestions and told me about their specials. The food was absolutely delicious and 100% organic. To top it all off, she even treated me to complimentary desserts. And the sweetest touch — there’s a fresh rose in the restroom! Truly an amazing personal touch that makes this place stand out. Highly recommended"
