Nagadi Coffee Roastery

When I started drinking coffee a few years ago, I was lucky enough to stumble upon Nagadi Coffee’s stall at the Montgomery Farm Women’s Market in Bethesda and meet Felix, who has been guiding me through the wonderful world of coffee with helpful advice, his dry sense of humor, and of course great coffee ever since.
The farmers market stall is no more, but Saturday mornings at his roastery in Silver Spring are a great time if you love coffee and people who love coffee. He’s added Josue, whose skill as a barista is rivaled only by his friendliness, to the team, and if you show up you’re likely to meet some interesting people (I met Mark Furstenburg of Marvelous Market and Bread Furst fame once; another time a couple who splits their time between DC and their coffee farm in Colombia and supplied a great coffee for Nagadi) and guaranteed to have great coffee.
Tell Felix I sent you and he’ll probably give you a free espresso. You’ll like it so much you’ll buy a bag or three of beans and maybe even join the regular cast of characters. And if you’re like me, you’ll jump at the chance to tell any coffee lover you want to impress about your awesome «coffee guy» in Silver Spring.

For the connoisseur, this commercial coffee roster opens but four hours a week. At the last door on a row of commercial shops, you’ll find a clean little grey sign with white logo & stencil reading Nagadi. Inside, Felix, the smiling owner welcomes visitors between fielding technical questions & sharing brewing responsibilities with barista Josue. Visit Nagadi to explore your coffee passions.
