Came during the cherry blossom market—it was so cute!! Such a great way to support local vendors and small businesses. The space is absolutely gorgeous. My matcha latte was delicious. Next time I come I’ll order some food ?

Great coffee; great atmosphere. Hole in the wall type of feel but such a hidden gem. Loved this place.

Awesome hidden gem in DC. Pastries are on point, coffee is hot and flowing, and the upstairs has great seating for chit chat or working on a laptop.

Cute cafe but very pricey. Iced coffee and a burrito ran me $26. For some reason they have an added 12% service fee...yes you read that correctly. On top of the service fee, they have a sign that says to bust your own table. Food tastes good, but definitely cheaper breakfast options.

Encountered a very rude staff dude here today. But even worse, the coffee tasted like Folgers - just bitter bean water with a dash of cream for $7.

Cute neighborhood haunt. The upstairs was pretty cozy. Seating left something to be desired but the windows and the fireplace were certainly a nice touch.Coffee was great, staff was nice and attentive.Outside would probably be lovely in the spring and fall. They do have a heated section on the side for outdoor seating where you can bring your dogs.Parking on the streets can be hit or miss so I do feel like if you're looking for the perfect "DC" coffee spot to write or read this could be it.
