Great veg option is the Alisha - nice whole grain bread, cukes, tomato, sprouts, hummus and cream cheese

Ther is the most attentive server ever! Be sure to leave him a good tip, he's an incredibly talented martial artist (I've trained with him ;)

Popular with the locals. Great food and fun environment. On weekends there are long lines to get seated, so get here early!

Chaippuccinos are fabulous. Teas are french pressed. Get the Yared for sick days. They do latte art and serve drinks with animal crackers!
DorisDecember 20, 2012
Nice atmosphere dim lights and couches. Wifi is turned off weekends and holidays *kanye shrug* vegan friendly apps live band wed nights
Mikey ZSeptember 15, 2014
Their iced frappuccinos are so smooth you can barely tell they're iced. Best I've ever had, hands down.
Marc PhillipsOctober 14, 2013
Nice little coffee and dessert place in a rapidly gentrifying neighborhood. Animal crackers served with each drink!

Their Counter Culture coffee is on point. And their latte art is awesome.

The 1700 Park Road - one of the two Gin Rickey finalists from Tryst - rules the school.

order their grey earl tea (or any tea, really) and you get one of those fancy french tea presses. after you're done, dump your tea leaves in your cup and try to read your future.

Awesome selection of baked goods.

Ever wanted to feel like you're on the set of Friends? Go here. Big, comfy couches and an open layout make for lounging and a living room atmosphere.

Sweet place to work. Zayan grilled cheese, with Optimum Wit from Port City on tap.

Dacquoise hazelnut cake is amazingggg! Chocolate waffle was good and very moist
Anthony MaioranaAugust 21, 2012
Live music is dope. Take off the headphones while the band is on or you might as well sit at home with Starbucks and the tv on.
deenuhfoowadOctober 17, 2014
an awesome place to read and people watch. sometimes it gets so overcrowded that it ruins the vibe.

This place has gotten a lot more explicitly vegan-friendly recently. More options, more menu clarity, and more kale smoothies. \m/

Tried the spiced wine on a rainy day-it will warm your soul! Free wi-fi Mon-Fri.

Latte art!!! They are amazing. The coffee tastes good too.

Perfect cortados, but it's impossible to find a seat. Order yours to go.
Carmen da SilvaJune 23, 2011
DC's equivalent to Think Coffee (great coffee+free wifi+beer+wine) but they have a great selection of real food options and a full bar Read more

A hip, artsy coffeehouse on 18th Street that only sort of resembles the one on "Friends." Read more

Ask the baristas what the daily specials are and share your favorite coffee beverages w us! You might find yours as one of ours on the board!

Restroom graffiti you can appreciate! Check out the "groutfiti" in the rightmost restroom. Its all clever puns on "grout" written between the tiles. :-)

Coffee. The ambient. The people.

Great place for a date. Try to snag a couch. The baristas are artists an make you feel special.
Niara P.July 8, 2013
Great atmosphere, but beware of trying to do work after the sun sets -- the lights are extremely dim in here.
Katarina KatsmaJune 27, 2015
Everything, I love it here. But no WiFi on the weekends? Kind of uncool.

Great cortado, but get it to go. This place is always packed.
