- AFAR MediaAugust 4, 2014A bright, storefront with basic furniture and funky music where uber-friendly and efficient baristas serve up smooth, wonderful espressos as well as drip, French press, and hand pour coffees. Read more
- Luiz CentenaroJune 15, 2014Need energy? Try the Ethiopian Hand Pour, if you are hungry the Paradiso; salted bacon with nutella and sliced strawberry on a brioche is dank. The wifi is overworked but atmosphere is worth it.
- Excellent coffee with a local vibe. Incredibly kind baristas and plenty of seating. Has everything you need in a coffee shop.
- Katarina KatsmaJune 9, 2015This place is the BEST. Their tea is good (and I'm a tea snob) but the coffee is just to die for. The guys work hard but still find the time to be super friendly! A+++
- Jonathan WebberSeptember 10, 2014Great coffee but very small location. Get their espresso, the barista will pull it just right. If you can find a seat, it's a cool place to hang out, but don't count on one being available.
- Borys PierovNovember 20, 2017I had an amazing Chemex coffee at this place couple of times while my experience with chai latte was almost opposite.
- Ben DruckerDecember 15, 2014One of the best spots in DC. Tons of seating, quality coffee, and free wifi.
- trillateezyDecember 23, 2014Quality coffee. Worth stepping in and checking out their specials. Mochas and vanilla lattes are good. They also serve absinthe!
- FFebruary 22, 2015Being that it's not too far out of the way of the metro, this is a highly-trafficked coffee stop for many. Don't expect to camp here with your MacBook and scone.
- Chinatown Coffee Company is a wonderful "locals" hangout. Their baristas are top notch (Ian in particular) and they now have their liquor license and also serve 3 kinds of Absinthe! Seats go quickly!
- Gabriel HayesAugust 11, 2015Awesome coffee place. The best coffee place in Chinatown and the best coffee place I have been in DC.
- Oi Yin LoApril 3, 2015Great service. Nice relaxing atmosphere for delving into a book and delicious coffee.
- Ramata SowSeptember 15, 2013Yummy scones and great music. Bright, contemporary, nice exposed brick on the walls. Great place to study if you don't mind a little noise.
- Cat CatAugust 9, 2014Specially picked coffees can be made by french press, chemex or syphon methods. Definitely worth a try.
- Best damn baristas in D.C. are right here. Get a Black Cat espresso or whatever guest espresso is available. Purchase Intelly, Novo or Counter Culture for home brewing!
- ZipcarJune 6, 2011Enjoy a delicious cup of coffee and the best darn potato chips this side of the Mississippi at this neighborhood hangout. We recommend grabbing a seat at the front window for people watching.
- Hillary HartleyApril 30, 2014The granola/yogurt really is worth leaving a tip. It's very good! Full fat, creamy, and just the right sweetness.
- Brad PMarch 30, 2013Great coffee. And I'm all about the absinthe happy hours on Friday. Be sure to pick up one of their loyalty cards.
- Audrey TolbertNovember 26, 2013If (when) I own a coffee place, it will be like this: great coffee, fast wifi, good music, and craft beer.
- Michael StarrSeptember 1, 2014Love the coffees. They rotate frequently. Try a siphon brew if you haven't before!
- If you're feeling decadent (or need a pick-me-up), get one of their red velvet cupcakes and any espresso beverage. Seriously great.
- Elizabeth MitchellMay 27, 2014They use awesome cows milk but also have almond and soy options. Decent pastries and beans but no one seems to sell coffee by the lb anymore
- Brionne GriffinSeptember 20, 2014Coffee is rich and strong. The granola and yogurt cup is very good too.
- katherine k. robinsonAugust 15, 2017Great coffee, free wifi, friendly staff, hard and mostly backless seating.
- Super friendly service and delicious stuff. They are also tech friendly: they take Square and have wifi and outlets.
- Finally found a replacement for Blue Bottle's Gibraltar. It's the Cortado and it's delicious.
- Megan Stiff-VasinNovember 9, 2012The yogurt and granola is amazing!! Creamy full fat vanilla yogurt and fresh handmade granola. Delish!!!!
- Al BundyAugust 22, 2015If you can stay, or want a hot drink, I guess this would be the place to go. I asked for a "pour over ice" and was told that they don't do that. Why not?That's how a real 3rd wave coffee shop makes it
- I don't endorse coffeeshops easily. But I tried this place after seeing it on FS and it was a surprising find in the heart of Chinatown. Excellent espresso beverage. Now on my short list of cafes.
- Hands down the best vanilla latte I've had in a while. Plus they put hearts in the foam :)
- Ari SternFebruary 3, 2010Coffee experts reside here. To correct a previous tip, well-crafted Intelligentsia coffees and espressos can also be had at Sticky Fingers Bakery and SOVA, but you are definitely in good hands at Chin
- Can't go wrong with the yogurt and granola on an early morning.
- Maryann James-DaleyJuly 27, 2012best yogurt and granola I've had ever. iced chai is tasty too. an oasis in Chinatown.
- Steven HassallNovember 11, 2014Tasty granola and yogurt but disappointing coffee, too hot and slightly burnt
- Follow them on Facebook to see their daily world blend. Cute, friendly baristas too!
- Robbie AllanAugust 16, 2014Great espresso, or take an extra minute and get a Guatemalan vacuum syphon
- Mayalin BarrNovember 22, 2014Staff is friendly...sometimes! The only thing I came here for was to buy black cat espresso.
- One of the best lattes in DC. The sweetness of the espresso precludes the need to add sugar.
