Hi,
When I lived in San Francisco Bay Area, there were so many places to get a good latte. However, now I live in Potomac, there's only one Starbucks near my house and there's always a long long line. If you know any good place to get a latte besides Starbucks in Potomac Village, please let me know. Thanks! |

potomac is known for 2 plus acre lot sizes, not proximity to latte bars 
where in potomac do you live? it is a huge place so you could be close to rockville town square, park potomac, etc. |

Hi -
Thanks for your response. I live very close to Potomac Village (River Road and Persimmon Tree Road). I used to live in McLean right after I moved from California. Just in general, it's hard to find any coffee shop in both areas. |

| You can also try Vie de France next to Rite Aid. Personally, I'd wait in the Starbucks line! |

| Have you tried Google map's search function and then see if there are any yelp reviews? |

| OP- are you me? I live in Potomac and I used to live in SF and Seattle and was accustomed to fabulous coffee houses. The only place I have found that makes an excellent latte is the Mandarin Oriental Hotel coffee bar. And I was only there one time. Go figure. My standards and expectations have plummeted since I've lived here. However, now I make due with Starbucks. Vie de France....ick. I haven't tried Sprinkles coffee but they may be worth a try. |

| There is a new coffee shop in the shopping center where DSW is right across from Chipolte. I think it is called Quatermain Roasters. |

I love this place! The quality of the coffee is excellent so if you're around this area (which isn't too far from you) you should check it out. |

BTW, it's off Old Georgetown Rd near Democracy (near Mont Mall). |

| Order from Peet's online. Seriously. By the way, the Starbuck's in Potomac Village is the worst Starbuck's I've ever encountered. |

I appreciate all your comments. I saw Quatermain Roasters today and would love to go there to try latte there.
I did stop by the Mandarin Oriental Hotel coffee bar in May. They have excellent coffee/espresso. I agree. Lately, I get latte from Nordtrom espresso bar. Not bad. Thanks again for all the great info! |

| I like Cariboo better than Starbucks. It's a kiosk near the middle of the mall. |

Hmmm. Have to give Nordstrom a try. |
