Josh HigginsMay 11, 2015Their espresso drinks are solid. They also offer a coffee menu full of single-origin coffees, with prices ranging from cheap to more expensive. All coffees I have tried are good, though.
- trillateezyDecember 23, 2014One of the very few spots to grab a good cup of coffee. Espresso or brewed coffee, you can't go wrong here. Simple and to the point with great outdoor seating.
GigiMay 30, 2015Baristas are awesome! They know what to do! Last time I had an espresso it was little bit watery. I need to try again. Dog friendly!
John NiedermeyerJune 23, 2012Espresso drinks are expertly prepared, if you’re into that sort of thing, but I love the care they put into pour-over cups. Simple, ground to order, and painstakingly coaxed into the perfect cup.
May very well be the best cup of coffee in the city. It's a shame its so hard to get a seat with all the "laptop-campers". That's kind of par for the course with a lot of these places - MacBook envy.
LevakerMarch 19, 2016On a swing through DC, and stopped here to do some work. V good espresso and despite the vague notion that the gov is watching, a v cool vibe.
The pour over coffees are well worth the wait, and the mochas almond croissants are great too.
Marc NgAugust 7, 2016Cool coffee shop, just how I know it from Europe. Make sure you walk the extra 2 blocks past the Starbucks to Peregrine. It's worth it!
Alex ArzeMay 21, 2015Vanilla Latte was amazing: beautiful design, delicious coffee! Haven't found better coffee!
The Lattes both iced and hot have a really unique flavour to them. I recommend them if you like lattes
MoayedMay 11, 2023Greats coffee at the Navy Yard They sell more than kind of coffee and nearest of bakery and brunch store.
Coffee is good here. But I think I like that they use Square Wallet here more! Pay without taking out your wallet.. The future is here. Finally.
Have a pour-over. Don't add milk or sugar, just try it by itself. I have switched to unadulterated coffee because of Peregrine.
Lamar McClainApril 10, 2017World class espresso; small but a great place to hang out and truly enjoy the coffee.
Kelsey HayesAugust 9, 2014Really good coffee and baked goods. Get there as early as you can as it gets packed fast.
Santiago SApril 16, 2017Best coffee I've had at DC, great for a coffee break while enjoying the weekend eastern market- Penguin TeenAugust 29, 2012Born Wicked author Jessica Spotswood loves to write here and recommends the Earl Grey sour cherry scones.

Best coffee in Washington, DC. Order anything but an espresso (with water chaser) really illustrates their quality and care.
Sophia HFebruary 10, 2020Espresso was good but rather a bit sweeter/fruitier than I wanted. Good kale parmesan scone
Ordered a cafe mocha, looked great, tasted amazing and enjoyed the chill vibe that the place gives off
Ari SternFebruary 3, 2010Espresso lovers with adventurous tastebuds - always try the rotating monthly special drinks. These are often competition quality artisan flavor combinations. They're never bad, often quite good, and a
Interesting and eclectic music selection: Miles Davis, Royksopp, and Fela Kuti all during one coffee break
DC Photographer Marty KatzSeptember 10, 2013It's on 7TH St SE, not on Pennsylvania Ave at all. The Circulator stops on the corner at the Metro stop. This branch is better than the others.
PeterJuly 13, 2013July special Purple Rain sounds good...espresso with coconut ginger miso cream, and a plum slice.
Jeremy RosenJune 13, 2010Stopped in to wait for a friend to go somewhere else for lunch. The atmosphere, music, and pretty employees enticed me to try a Vanilla iced Americano. Yummmy afternoon treat!
Their vanilla latte is good, but it's not the best I've had. I've got to give it to them for their latte art though!
Tania SeguraFebruary 24, 2013If you're not in the mood for coffee, go for the hot chocolate, so good.
This is a good soy cappuccino if I may say so myself. I mixed up the design. There was a design.
The Hill is HomeJanuary 21, 2012Their coffee is so good and fair-trade, it doesn’t just caffeinate you: it makes you a better person.
Keep you eyes peeled for the Baugh Baugh - espresso w/ a drop of ginger coconut milk + a chunk of bourbon peach.
Best coffee in DC I usually just go with an americano and thru sell great pastry from buzz bakery in Arlington.
Get a latte & admire the art. They have some of the best baristas in the city.
Can anyone find fault with their cappuccino? I can't. Perfect.
Best coffee in the city! My favorite is a vanilla skim cappuccino.
Even better for working now that they got a new router. Reliable Internet + awesome lattes = win.- Espresso, cappuccino, plain ol' cup of coffee. You won't regret ordering one of each!
- Admire the latte or cappuccino art, sip whatever is fresh on the coffee menu, people watch on the patio, and don''t forget to try a brownie!
