Neighbors Coffee Wins Big in Bethesda Magazine’s 2026 Best of Bethesda
Two Honors, One Big Thank You 💛
We’re incredibly grateful — and honestly still a little in awe — to share some exciting news with our neighbors:
Neighbors’ has been recognized twice in Bethesda Magazine’s 2026 Best of Bethesda awards.
-
🏆 2026 Best of Bethesda Editors’ Pick, Best New Coffee Shop — Winner
-
☕ 2026 Best of Bethesda Readers’ Pick, Coffee Shop (Locally Owned) — Finalist
To receive both an Editors’ Pick win and a Readers’ Pick finalist spot is an honor we don’t take lightly. One reflects the thoughtful recognition of industry professionals, and the other comes directly from the people who walk through our doors every day — our community.
What This Means to Us
Neighbors’ began with a simple goal: to create a space where great coffee brings people together. From sourcing thoughtfully with our partner farms to roasting intentionally and serving with care, everything we do is rooted in connection — to farmers, to our team, and to you.
Being named an Editors’ Pick Winner is deeply affirming of the craft, care, and intention behind every cup we serve. And being chosen as a Readers’ Pick Finalist reminds us that what matters most is how our neighbors feel when they’re here.
This is a Team & Community Win
These honors belong to so many people:
-
Our incredible team behind the bar who show up with warmth, skill, and heart every day
-
The farmers we work with, whose dedication makes exceptional coffee possible
-
And most importantly, our neighbors — thank you for voting, visiting, supporting, and believing in what we’re building
Every conversation, every shared table, every regular who becomes a friend — this is what makes Neighbors’ special.
From the bottom of our hearts, thank you for being part of this journey. We can’t wait to keep brewing, growing, and serving alongside you.
☕
With gratitude,
Spencer & Lulu
Your neighbors
