The Office Cafe & Lounge

This is a pretty depressing place, but it's also an AMAZING place if you come here with your friends because this is the next big thing to happen in Laytonsville. Tennessee is the manager.

It's located in Laytonsville, so you know everyone else in here, and they're all from Gaithersburg High. Everyone here graduated from Gaithersburg between the years of 2007 and 2010. I graduated in 2008, so I am stuck in the middle of an unbearable high school reunion. I haven't seen these people in like 5 years, but I guess I'll listen to their stupid stories about how radiation from the tsunami in Japan is contaminating the Pacific Ocean all the way to California.

This is a depressing place because every young person who comes here nowadays is someone who has yet to leave this town after high school and college. However, you get to hear all the inside gossip stories about people you haven't even thought about in six years. For instance, someone mentioned that someone from our high school, Logic, is about to go on tour with Kid Cudi and Big Sean. That's cool, especially since Big Sean is tight with Kendrick Lamar.

This is also an amazing place because it is a very chill atmosphere for us local people.

Nonetheless, only beer and wine are served here. Mixed drinks are not served here. I'm not sure why. I ordered water because I don't care what anyone thinks. They even have vegan options, which include an orange, avocado, blueberry salad with vinaigrette for $8.50.

The inside is very nice and luxurious. I can fade it.

The music is good. Everything from N`SYNC to Lil John to Drake is played. Unfortunately they didn't play any of Juicy J's songs from Chronicles of the Juiceman. They didn't play Bandz a Make her Dance either. There was only one girl in here though. She's my friend though. She was talking to some 31 year old dude.

They have lots of nice televisions. It's a great place to catch a Redskins game. I'm sorry if I offended anyone with the use of the word "Redskins." We're not going to change the name. #sorrynotsorry

We went here thinking that it was the coffee cafe that was there awhile back. They were getting ready to change to the Spring menu but were not quite ready. After I expressed interest in the coming menu, they went out of their way to make the dish for me. It was sooooo good!  I went with a sampler plate that made me think about it for a few days after I had it. So, we went back.. This time with my health conscious daughter who ordered everything without sauce, so it was bland. I would guess that this is not the place to go if you want to stay on a very healthful diet as they do not season up the meat . Staying to the listed items on the menu, prepared as stated, it is very good. And they pour a good sized glass of wine, it is not like a pre measured small glass you get at chains.

This place has a great atmosphere, and awesome food. The service is friendly.  For a neighborhood bar, this place is one if the best I've visited.
