Amazing craft coffee; owners are from STL, so most of the coffee is sourced from STL roasters. They bake scones,croissants, and pies all in house, highly suggest a pour over and a scone.
Best for takeout as the store is cramped and with very few seats. Great selection of fresh and yummy pastries, healthy bottled juices & nut milk. Also one of the best matcha lattes in DC.
Jake FrasierSeptember 7, 2014The environment here is super chill. A bit smaller on the inside. No wifi so just come for some good conversation or a little reading. Baked goods looked delicious but I only had an iced latte (A+)
Anna JohnMay 5, 2015BEST CINNAMON ROLL IN THE CITY (no nuts!). Utterly crave-worthy, call before going to ensure they have some. Brown butter choc chip cookies also fantastic, the cake was stale. Perfect espresso drinks.
LorenApril 6, 2017Great coffee, friendly staff, and a cool place to perch for a bit (but not too long as no wifi and not a lot of seating.)
Nice new addition to the DC coffeehouse scene. I've had their pour overs (love the Ethiopian Kurimi), tea and choc croissants, and I've not been disappointed. A tiny space that can get crowded though
MiguelJune 5, 2017The table in the far back to the right has hooks underneath for your backpack or jacket and a ton of outlets!
Great atmosphere, fantastic cappuccino, and outstanding chocolate chip cookies. Baristas were all super friendly too.
Tyler ChartierJune 17, 2015The Wydown as a plethora of both coffee selections and seating which attributes to why I love it. It's a great place to stop in or sit a while.
Lewis WilkinsAugust 21, 2018Blackberry lavender and raspberry rose scones! Excellent coffee! Friendly baristas!
Josh HigginsMay 13, 2015Their house blend "The Filibuster" is fantastic. Best drip coffee I've had in the District. They make your coffee fresh by the cup!
John LemanJune 12, 2015They rotate their coffees from different roasters, giving you a chance to explore the many innovative coffees around the nation. Go with a pour over.
LizNovember 15, 2015The raspberry rose scone is one of the best I've had. Also they carry Heart coffee from Portland, my very favorite roaster.
Jeremy ThomasAugust 30, 2014St. Louis might not be known for much, but this wydown blvd homage brings the best of the gateway city. Try khaldis coffee and be amazed.
Order a house-made croissant to go with your espresso or pour-over, and revel in the flakey, buttery goodness.
Lucille FisherNovember 9, 2015Excellent coffee selection for people seriously into coffee. Good pastries to match. Very laid back atmosphere.
DavidJuly 7, 2014Nice comfy atmosphere and expertly crafted coffee. Also a nice selection of pour-over coffee merchandise for sale.
S WJuly 30, 2014The iced coffee isn't the strongest but they have simple syrup and soy milk for free, which is a major plus compared to Starbucks. Nice vibe.
Roger DashAugust 9, 2014Great selection of beans and coffee gear. One of the only places in DC to get a kalita wave and filters.
Behrad EatsJanuary 29, 2015Great spot with a roll-up garage door façade and of course delicious coffee!
OPEN in their permanent location beside Trader Joe's! The brown butter chocolate chip cookie is insane. Ask them to warm it up.
Roshan SadananiSeptember 27, 2014Can't believe I haven't been here before. They brew Kaldi's, Intelligentsia, and PT's. Pour overs are amazing
Terrific local coffee shop with delicious baked goods and even better coffee.
Samantha SaultMarch 19, 2017The matcha latte with almond milk is the best. Also love the District Juicery organic juices.
- Watch out! During the summertime, the interior has mosquitoes!
Mixed feelings, but didn't have an impressive pour over here
