You want a chill coffee shop to relax in or get some work done? This is it, this is the place you're looking for in DC.

Chaippuccinos are fabulous. Teas are french pressed. Get the Yared for sick days. They do latte art and serve drinks with animal crackers!
Michael StarrSeptember 1, 2014
This place is awesome. Little bit of an identity crisis but coffee, food, service, and atmosphere are great.
Carolyn ZimmermanFebruary 19, 2015

Nice little coffee and dessert place in a rapidly gentrifying neighborhood. Animal crackers served with each drink!
2M StreetAugust 13, 2014
Tried the spiced wine on a rainy day-it will warm your soul! Free wi-fi Mon-Fri.
Arnaud RéautéOctober 30, 2014

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 ;)

Free wi-fi. Awesome light-fare menu. Great place to get work done.
deenuhfoowadOctober 17, 2014
an awesome place to read and people watch. sometimes it gets so overcrowded that it ruins the vibe.
Mikey ZSeptember 15, 2014
Their iced frappuccinos are so smooth you can barely tell they're iced. Best I've ever had, hands down.
Carmen YépizOctober 25, 2016
Good price, great environment, perfect for reading or working. Good service.
Matthew PearlSeptember 1, 2014
Chicken quesadilla with salsa is gorgeous! Try with featured cocktail of the day

This place has gotten a lot more explicitly vegan-friendly recently. More options, more menu clarity, and more kale smoothies. \m/
Sophia HApril 13, 2019
Dacquoise hazelnut cake is amazingggg! Chocolate waffle was good and very moist
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

I always have an issue connecting to the Internet. So I always restart my laptop when I'm on the premises and it works fine. Password changes regularly .
Abrar AlsuwainaOctober 3, 2015
Try their Chocolate waffle and the white mocha too!! Very gentle service
Melissa CDecember 26, 2010
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.
Davin MaijalaSeptember 24, 2018
Great coffee and food. Wonderful service and a cool atmosphere.
Hien LyOctober 29, 2018
Large open space with table service. Friendliest staff and fresh hot coffee.

A lot of people. Nice moods. They usually open all windows so it is little humidity.
Abbie WApril 2, 2013

Chloe LoAugust 2, 2019
Latte art!!! They are amazing. The coffee tastes good too.

A hip, artsy coffeehouse on 18th Street that only sort of resembles the one on "Friends." Read more
kazahelAugust 20, 2014
Perfect cortados, but it's impossible to find a seat. Order yours to go.

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

Try the Roasted Eggplant Dip - One of my faves here - but I think they should try serving the dip warm instead of cold.
Adam PowersMarch 18, 2010
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.

Everything bagel with plain cream cheese, avocado and sprouts - trust me

They shut off the WiFi on the weekends and service can be kind of slow, but their coffees are large and delicious.
Katarina KatsmaJune 27, 2015
Everything, I love it here. But no WiFi on the weekends? Kind of uncool.
Candice BarnesFebruary 5, 2012
Great place for a date. Try to snag a couch. The baristas are artists an make you feel special.

The food is not always the best but the hummus platter is out-of-this-world. Seriously. Get it.
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.
MiguelJune 3, 2017
Awesome selection of baked goods.

Come during a natural disaster. The sense of community is amazing. My only complaint, no wifi on Saturday. How am I supposed to track Irene?!
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.
NickAugust 15, 2014
Sweet place to work. Zayan grilled cheese, with Optimum Wit from Port City on tap.
Margaret KamaraMarch 17, 2013
The baked goods are big and good for sharing!

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

While I personally don't list this place at the top of my favorite coffee joints (emphasis on personally), I am really enjoying the Tuesday night jazz and atmosphere.
