This is a great place to study and/or eat. They have an outside patio which is marvelous in the summer and other seasons when reasonably warm.
Sudeshna MukherjeeMay 15, 2014Quite enjoyed the coconut latte with a touch of cinnamon though for the life of me I can't understand why one would attach rest room key to a ladle ;). Wi-fi is free on minimum spend of $5 per person.- Very gay friendly establishment. Great for breakfast, studying, or a quick cappuccino. Chill atmosphere to meet up with friends.

Michelle WrightDecember 13, 2015My cafe au laite was one of the best I've ever had. Everything was delicious. Cute tables, very nice owner. Something missing was a little ambiance. Will definitely go back.
The Soho Mocha is absolutely wonderful. YUM. As someone who's picky about her chicken salad, the chicken salad sandwich is also delicious. Great study spot!- Ramzy KhabbazApril 28, 2013Walked in here, by chance, looking for a place to wait out the rain. It is now my favorite study spot. I asked for recommendations and got a breakfast croissant, pastry, and a hammerhead. All great.
Nafeesa MonroeApril 11, 2013Love this place. It's next to a great used (and inexpensive) bookstore, so I pick up a new (used) book, and sit here to read it! I love the tuna salad.
Katarina KatsmaJuly 12, 2015Nice selection of loose-leaf teas, though if you're a tea drinker it's just tea or chai tea latte. They've got a nice selection of fancy coffees, however!
Really in the mood for carbs? Get two bagels, one everything, one cinnamon raisin, cut in half lengthwise. Place the pieces on top of each other, alternating bagel types. Bam. Bagel sandwich.
Cody V.C.February 10, 2014owner is super chill. wanted to get something w soy milk but they were out, and he made some suggestions for milk-free drinks! the hot apple cider is mild but nice
Julia-Anne MAugust 6, 2013Definitely recommend! It's so cute and one of those places where it is so personable. They mean it when they say the chicken salad sandwich is amazing.
chicken melt is great...Great place to do homework and study...Open late...Love this place...and the characters that come in- PRICELESS...only place in DC where you can have a sandwich while sitting n
Lord RoninNovember 11, 2011A very cool & collected (not to mention LGBT-friendly) food spot. Amazing service, relaxing music, free WiFi. It's awesome! Gotta freakin' love it.
Holly HollidayMarch 22, 2012Amazing place, great happy owner, peaceful atmosphere, and the great egg, spinach, ham croissant. So beautiful! Home sweet soho!
Jon RiceSeptember 8, 2014Very friendly owner, solid iced coffee! Great atmosphere for lingering and working.
Chai chills are lovely on a summer day. The baked goods are especially tasty.
helene bloomSeptember 18, 2012Helene and Fran, the owner's want to thank all of you for patronizing Soho. We've been here 18 year's and keep on rockin and rollin. Glad you like our chicken salad.
Mercedez LemieuxOctober 25, 2012The owner is the sweetest. Gave us the low-down on where to go & not to go out on the town. Delicious grilled cheese!

Rorrie SiskFebruary 25, 2012I'm from NY and this is the closest to an NY street breakfast I've come. Awesome. Support this business!!
Anthony ZacharzewskiApril 12, 2016Scruffy but friendly and decent coffee. $5 min spend for laptop use.
"Interesting" music choices. Sometimes you'll hear Vivaldi, other times Aqua or Miley Cyrus...
The absolute best place to study! The employees are so sweet and charismatic.

BrennanJune 2, 2013Avoid ordering breakfast here if you're in a hurry. Waited 40 minutes for a panini...and then had to track down a barista to get my money back.- JennJanuary 13, 2010Order the "Chai on Crack," so good. (Ah, and make sure you have cash. They don't take credit cards.)
