We were greeted right away by the employees on this afternoon. Really enjoyed coming inside from the snow and getting unique, flavorful coffees - we tried a latte, single origin pour over and the chicory blend. All delicious, perfect temperature and served quickly. Shop was clean and enough room to find a spot to sit. I think they were out of pastries but we had stopped by the Souk x Sweet Lobby location at Union Market beforehand.

First blue bottle experience it was absolutely awesome. The vibe is amazing. Got the traditional pour over dark roast. Absolutely amazing. I understand the hype.

Very expensive (cappuccino 6,5$, croissant 6$) despite a very low quality food (croissant was probably old 2 days). The environment is also very basic therefore it is very difficult to find a reason to justify the

Ordered an espresso ($5 is robbery) and received a tiny “double shot” that was maybe an ounce of overextracted and bitter sludge. Sub Starbucks quality espresso which I didn’t realize was possible from a coffee shop that used to be good.

The coffee here is delish and the almond croissants are superb. The staff are friendly and attentive without being overbearing.

Their internet is awful which l assume they do it on purpose to prevent people from sitting there for a long time. They have good coffee though.

Very friendly staff and the cafe is very calm and well lite. Enjoyed.
Expensive, but high-quality. But what do you really need? $18.00 for a 14 oz latte with a 3d shot, and an almond croissant. I felt indulged, but a little robbed. If the staff were a little bit more interested in the (few) customers rather than chatting noisily with each other, it might have felt worth it. High ceilings, a little cavernous. Overall a little chilly. Better experiences available within walking distance. Good soundtrack. BTW, I’ve been to several Blue Bottles in Cali.

If I were to go to Blue Bottle for a coffee in D.C near the waterfront. I would choose to go here than the one in Georgetown. the one on M St. is crowded, always crowded, people who are working + people who are just talking + visitors. Whereas this location serves a local vibe with outside sitting (minimal), and super clean inside, not as big as the one in Georgetown*. You won't see the water but you will see the seagulls lol. you get the Wharf/Brooklyn vibes here.

Surprisingly expensive coffee for a non sizable portion, WiFi is horrendously bad. What’s happening to the world! Not the greatest cafe, but with coffee shops barring laptop usage entirely - gobsmacking! - it’s not beyond the pale (yet). I prefer the Georgetown location. Location and ambience is good.

This reminded me of my time in San Francisco where they started up. One of the best coffee shops around, and it's always so consistent across them. I had the iced spiced NOLA and iced cafe mocha (had to get both since it was such a hot day!). Both were delicious and had the right ratio of ingredients. The coffee was smooth and definitely hit the spot on a day like today. I would pick them over Starbucks or any other chain any day of the week. Highly recommend!

I'm here once a week! It's overpriced but high quality and I can post up outside and people watch with my latte. Oat milk is the default dairy here. Staff is friendly and they remember their regular customers, which I really appreciate.
Not many seats but great pour over
