Evan ChenFebruary 6, 2018If you want something different and unique, I recommend trying one of their signature drinks. I got the Cardamom Latte and it was delicious!
Good spot to people watch and they have a lot of cool art books to browse through in the window seats. I think it's best to read or hangout here. Save your work for Starbucks, home, or the office.
Carmin RuggieroMarch 22, 2013Best service, cafe atmosphere and the owner Cait is a doll! Oh yeah, and they also do justice by the Jedi counsel of baristas with THE BEST coffee in DC!!
Outdoor seating shines, as do the knowledgable and enthusiastic baristas. I find the café itself to be a bit dim.
CassidyFebruary 12, 2017Pequa yogurt, fab homemade granola and a mean Americano. cute space with indoor and outdoor seating (weather permitting).
Daniel GraysonJanuary 30, 2017Wifi, comfy seats, a cozy vibe, and nice music. The coffee is good, too. I great place to hang out or meet someone for a quiet chat.
Nathan HartmannJuly 12, 2015Best coffee shop for hanging out. Good music, low noise level, spacious inside, with outdoor seating, too. Coffee options are great. My #1 recommendation in DC.
Get the Honey Badger. Four shots of espresso, mixed in with some honey and half and half, shaken over ice. Great for a quick, tasty, refreshing pick-me-up.
Reggie LeonardMarch 11, 2015Cool vibe, cool location, lame morning options, imo. No pour-overs until 11am, which I found out at 10:45am. They only had 1, boring cup of Colombian on tap. I'd like to try a pour over another time.- Jake FrasierAugust 27, 2014Grab a seat outside, ask for your drink for here, and enjoy a good book. Great ambience here.
Get a single origin cortado or Beespoke Ethiopia pour over. Excellent coffee selections.
Sandra WhitworthApril 25, 2024Consistently excellent service and top-notch coffee. Whether you're a regular or a first-time visitor, you're guaranteed a warm welcome and a great cup of joe.
Very nice space. My favorite cafe interior in DC. Bar stool height chairs are not only functional but stylish. Space to walk around. Great coffee.
Danielle EvansJune 3, 2016The dirty chai and the mocha are the best!!! Especially if they're made by Cooper or Matt!!!
Ask for the "iced" cortado - 4 shots of espresso, honey, cream, shaken with ice. Delicious!
Matt ShobeFebruary 16, 2020Crowded in waves on any weekend - but the service is fast and people are friendly.
- get the 'dirty chai' iced - it's delicious. you won't regret it.
- Awesome and hearty biscotti! Anise/almond/choco dipped is a-ok!
🤖🐵 Andrew SteinFebruary 25, 2013Best hot chocolate I've ever had. Milky, chocolatey, perfect amount of sweet. DAMN.
Andrew WoolfApril 20, 2013Cortado + caramel wafer ftw. Good coffee and good ambience but needs more seating.
Vanilla late is delicious! Could work on better baked goods/snacks.
Kamaria SalauJuly 26, 2013The Wi-fi password is Espresso but make sure you're fully charged upon arrival. Outlets are extremely limited if not at the bar.
Stan WilliamsJanuary 26, 2013What looks like chocolate chips scones are actually currents... Still good.
