Best Cafés in Chevy Chase

Josephine's is one of our favorite brunch spots. Here's why: 1) It's beautiful inside. It's a treat to be in the building, no matter the floor you are on or/the room you are in. 2) The service is always excellent. (Shout out to Noah this time! We'd love to have Noah help us again.) 3) The food is terrific. The eggs are always cooked perfectly. The salmon plate, my favorite, is always exactly what I want for brunch, with or without the mimosa (with a sidecar). We highly recommend Josephine - Old Town location.

From the moment we were warmly welcomed I knew it would be a great experience. We were taken to the table I had requested and greeted by server Orlando. He was an exemplary server throughout the evening. He was the first server in all of my Julii experiences who suggested that the salads are shareable among the entire table - and the Salad Greque was fabulous - all 3 of us enjoyed. All of the entrees were beautifully prepared and presented - the cod, steak frites and the crispy trout which I enjoyed tremendously. A fantastic restaurant - I highly recommend it!

Lovely classic Italian food, wonderful service, cozy ambience, and it was easy to hear each other at the table.

The omakase experience was delicious! I’ve never had coffee that tastes that good before. Each course is presented beautifully and the barista gives an explanation of the flavors and how to enjoy the various tastes in each course. Arrive hungry, and without previous caffeine if you’re sensitive to it. I was energized all day 🤣!

We had a wonderful time at Officina. The food was excellent.
