Shotted Specialty Coffee is now open at Westfield Montgomery Mall in Bethesda. The Saudi-inspired coffee and dessert bar features several unique beverages and menu items you won't find at Starbucks or Dunkin' Donuts. Try a Karak Chai or Warm Date Toffee for a taste of the Arabian Gulf. They even have soft-serve ice cream.
The chain, which is thriving in Northern Virginia, was conceived by its founder as a way to use coffee as an ambassador for Saudi culture. Its corporate values are aligned with Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman's Vision 2030 initiative, part of which is aimed at diversifying the Saudi economy beyond oil with the promotion of culture and tourism. Customers are invited to experience Saudi culture and hospitality at all Shotted locations, and three Saudi holidays are celebrated with special events.
But Shotted isn't ignoring trends closer to home. Witness their Pumpkin Series menu for fall, which features the limited-time-only Pumpkin Spice Latte, Pumpkin Chai Latte, Pumpkin Cream Cold Brew, and Pumpkin Cream Matcha beverages. It will be interesting to see what seasonal drinks they might have as the holidays and winter approach. Look for Shotted Specialty Coffee in the former Gold Bunny Donut space in the Dining Terrace food court, on Level 2 of the mall.

Just what was missing from the mix.
Just another coffee joint.
Good luck I guess. I never thought about it, but what about a DD here? This replaced a donut joint that was terrible. Go with a winner and a brand folks like. DD Midnight blend is very good and their donuts are among the best out there.
Is that a joke? Dunkin Donuts has some of the worst donuts you can get. They aren't even freshly made. They are cooked in a factory miles away and shipped to the store. If you think they have some of the best donuts out there then I really have to dismiss your judgment and taste entirely.
They are no Montgomery Donuts that's for sure. Why Krispy Kreme has not opened anywhere in lower MoCo is beyond me.
The best donuts in Montgomery County can be found at Beiler's Doughnuts in the Dutch Market in Germantown. Twice the size and half the price of Dunkin'.
Do you even know where Krispy Kreme's are located in this area? Frederick, Rockville, and DC, that's it.
There's a Dunkin Donuts right in front of the metro escalators
But, by the time you get there it will cost you double!
The Dunkin Donuts next to Ourisman Honda used to have fresh donuts.
Krispy Kreme are mediocre donuts.
