Tammy CMay 20, 2013HH 3pm to close @ upstairs, tap brews $3.75, house wines $4, high balls $3.75, martinis, margarita, bubbles, sangria $5, appetizers $4
Robbie RoemerJanuary 17, 2013Go upstairs, drink the happy hour Stella for 3 bucks, and watch all the people run for their trains...
Bruce JOctober 11, 2012Tried the Wings based on Anup G's comment. BIG mistake. Only $4 at happy hour, but they taste and smell seriously SAD. If they represent the menu, I concur with the majority. DON'T EAT THE FOOD
GaryOctober 18, 2011There is no real reason to go here unless you are waiting on a train. That said, I had the Spicy Chicken Quesadilla which was quite nice.
Happy hour 3-close upstairs onlyMake sure Lisa or Will are here will take good care of ya
Justin MetzgerFebruary 15, 2012Mahmoud is one of the best bartenders in DC. I wouldn't eat here, but drink away.

SarahOctober 11, 2012It was just ok. We needed a table for 5 & this was the easy thing to do. One out of 5 at our table was happy w their food. But it sufficed.
Patrick ChouJune 10, 2015Do not get food here. From appetizers to entrees, we did not have a single dish that was good. Nothing was prepared well and seemed like just heated frozen food.
Tina SpadesApril 15, 2012Drink only, this place does not warrant the runs you will get or the roaches you will see after you take that first bite....
Little RickyDecember 26, 2013Terrible wine list. Stick to beers. Just saying.... Don't drink here if looking for good wine. And from what other reviewers are saying, don't eat here either! So basically, don't come here!!
Because bar. I don't care if the word cafe is in the name. Also, stick to drinking bottled beer - everything else is suspect at best.
Eric MilesFebruary 6, 2013Do not get the crab quesadilla. While it sounds like it might be good...it is not.
Shannon DavenportDecember 1, 2012I think the food is just heated up when you order it. Not impressed.
Eileen DaleyOctober 19, 2010The food ranges from mediocre to bad. The shrimp cocktail was literally 6 tasteless shrimp unceremoniously dumped on a plate with cole slaw. I don't recommend.

"I absolutely love this Starbucks. I go here every morning for quick, fast, and friendly service. You should too."
DJ Greenberg 
"A very large facility, of course, as you would expect with a bus terminal. Go inside and take the escalator down a level, and the Starbucks is just on the left. You can't miss it."

"Super fast! And their chips are always nice and fresh. :)"
