Love this place... Me and my wife come here twice a month to enjoy awesome wine and company. Love the service! Dustin is the bomb and Holly is great! They will make your stay a pleasant one.
The wine selection is diverse & the friendly staff knows their wine inside and out. The anchovy salad is sooo good and the atmosphere is peaceful and relaxing. Dustin is wonderful to talk with!
Design*SpongeAugust 3, 2014Like peanut butter goes with chocolate so does wine and coffee. This wine shop/coffee shop/restaurant has an outstanding wine selection and serves fair trade coffee from Counter Culture Coffee. Read more
Tim FAugust 8, 2015More grape than bean. They have great coffee but they're really more interested in selling you a glass or bottle of wine. They won't let you sit in the dining area if you just buy a cup of coffee
Northern Virginia MagazineSeptember 18, 2012"Their wine list focuses on smaller, independent producers from around the world, and their menu features small plates with fresh, locally-sourced ingredients..." - October 2012 Issue
Rory ParnessMay 24, 2014Great little spot off of busy King street. Order a wine flight and ask them to pair up some cheeses. You will be pleasantly surprised!
David LevyAugust 25, 2014The wine selection is great. And the meals are enjoyable but on the light side. We love the communal seating.- Barbara ADecember 9, 2013Very nice place! Blue Bottle coffee is really good! I couldn't leave without buying some to take home!
Audrey ADecember 22, 2012Cozy place that is perpetually busy. Disappointed noone offered assistance when searching for wine. Selection well organized. Will come back for "sit down service" to leave another tip. CLOSED on Mon!- Rachel Stirba MoneypennyApril 25, 2010Try a wine flight - it's a great way to try lots of different reds or whites without completely blowing your tolerance (or your budget)! Their cheese/charcuterie plates and salads are great, too.
Karen AndersonJanuary 14, 2016The champagne selection is nice and I'm impressed that they have bufala mozzarella!
Tom JMarch 27, 2012Imbibe Magazine recognized Grape & Bean for being one of the Best Places to Get Caffeinated in the South in their March/April 2011 Southern Issue
Great for meeting up with friends or a cozy date! Dustin, Christina and the rest of the staff are always good!
Chriss KnisleySeptember 14, 2014Great wine selection, nice coffee options, good snacks and small plates.
Kala McRaeMay 3, 2012The flatbread is delicious. No stroller room inside but if you can get a table outside (1 of 2) then bring the kiddo.
iLuvtra1ls PFebruary 18, 2012A very nice selection of wines that you can buy there and sip. $15 cork fee felt a little bit pricier.
Non Rev GuyNovember 20, 2011The staff very kind serve Blue Bottle Coffee, but no outside food and drink (eg., Lavender Moon Cupcakery) are allowed.
Harris LokmanhakimNovember 23, 2010The CLOVER machine here is the finest high-tech commercial cofee machine EVER. It is the ONLY one in the Metro DC area. If you are a coffee afficianado... you know what this is. This machine is not m
Vanessa FrenchSeptember 5, 2011Amazing wine selection, great food and they serve Blue Bottle coffee. Triple threat!
James NellisMay 17, 2010The owner David is great and can custom order anything you want. For a smaller shop they have a great variety of wines.
Michael DalyApril 10, 2011Magnificent coffeae! The smoked chicken salad on ciabatta was unique and simply excellent!
Alisha BhagatFebruary 15, 2013I can't resist the coffee here. Stop in whenever I'm in the neighborhood.
anjul dApril 4, 2010The Alempue, Cabernet Sauvignon from Curico, Chile is delicious, organic, and vegan! Loves it.
Come here when you have a craving for Blue Bottle coffee.- Swing in and grab a freshly brewed coffee, and then swing next door and pick up a cupcake.
