Absolutely fire. Salmon croissant was amazing. Other people got the grilled chicken pita. I’ll be back to get that tomorrow morning.

Discovered this neighborhood cafe during a business trip in Jan. Fabulous place!! Please come, sip, study, relax, just like I did. Anytime, really, it is a rare oasis and true gem in many ways - highly recommend. Fantastic friendly and engaged owner and staff. Their coffee is brewed with love and the taste of Italian beans with floral and chocolate notes really nail it - I could not stop sipping … The food is middle eastern inspired and delicious. Like the pistacio infused croissants and a slice of the Ukranian honey layer cake - a luxurious treat :) Thumbs up!

Excellent pistachio latte, 20oz size drinks available, fair pricing, calm and unpretentious atmosphere, kind service, and an overall A+ coffee shop. I hope this place keeps thriving!

I visited while traveling from Canada and had issues with my Canadian card, and the staff went above and beyond to help me without making it awkward or stressful. Everyone was kind, patient, and genuinely accommodating. Thank you for the amazing experience. If I’m ever back in D.C I will be visiting again.

Phenomenal! I tried the chocolate croissant with pistachio sauce and pistachios on top and it was decadent. Great flavor and served with a rich, almost Lindt-like hot chocolate. Super kind and caring people working this niche cafe - really enjoyed my interaction with them this Sunday. Their genuine care for their craft and its appreciation is obvious! I wish there was a slightly larger environment with more seats in general, but I had no trouble sitting down at a table and enjoying my treat there around 9-10. Will definitely stop by again sometime if I’m in the area, worth every penny))

Cafe Joy sparks joy. In a busy part of town, it’s a peaceful oasis. Walk inside and you’ll find a Amal space with a few tables off to the corner. Order one of their lattes and pastries, which are 30% off after 3 p.m. The Joy Latte is pistachio and cardamom, a nod to the owner’s Lebanese heritage. There’s a unisex restroom that’s clean

So glad to have this place in the neighborhood! Staff are super friendly and the food and drinks are hot and tasty. Lovely cozy atmosphere and it’s always bustling when I stop in.
Nice spot just a 10 minute walk north of the convention center. Several intriguing options on the menu.

Super cute neighborhood Cafe with great service and a nice patio. I especially love the signature latte with pistachio and cardamom, it's rich and not too sweet 😍

The new Joy Cafe is another paradigm shift in bringing urban themes with great coffee brew, light meals, and quiet work stations. Small is beautiful and cafe joy is gorgeous!!

I stopped by this morning with my family. Coffee is served hot and in real stoneware mugs. Nice selection of pastries (they can be warmed if desired). My son had the classic chocolate croissant. They also have some specialty Eastern European treats (like honey cake !). Nice atmosphere, clean, friendly staff. Child friendly and dog friendly.

Enjoyed a well-made latte with good flavor and foam, along with a nice croissant. The space is quite small, and service was a bit slow when preparing the coffee, but overall a pleasant stop for quality coffee.
