Such a great coffee spot! Inside and part of Roost. I love all the different Roost counters. Promoted as a food hall. You can expect more then what would get at a food hall. Highly recommended. Staff is friendly and helpful.

Stopped free refills on the drip coffee. For the price and size, this is absurd.

Nice atmosphere and drinks. I got the mocha and it was decent, specifically because the mocha was good. The London fog was on point. Only disappoint was the cheese and chive scone. Not bad flavor but would have been infinitely better if it was warm.

I hesitated to post this review, not becauase i don't like the coffee. Absolutely not, i love it.

I hesitated because i don't want to give away the best kept secret in capitol hill. But, i can't be selfish, becasue selfishness is bad karma, and i do not have time for that.

This place is my spot. So much so that they know my order; mocha, hot, half sweet, in a take away cup. Sometimes i feel fancy and grab a blueberry muffin (a brief aside blueberry muffins are my favorite muffin so i have high standards for blueberry muffins and i don't know where they source these muffins from, but these muffins meet the standard.) The potato leak pastries are SO delicious. Make sure to get them heated.

the baristas are all Hella cool humans!

Cameo is one of my fav cafes in DC! The service is always good (Angel is the best!), the vibes are great, and I absolutely love their hot chocolate!

I always “work from cafe” at Cameo on days where I get to work from home. I highly recommend to working, reading, or chatting with friends.

The expresso did not taste good. I don’t know if it beans I am not use to or what, but it was really bad. The atmosphere was great though for working!

Worst cappuccino ever. I don't even think he used Espresso beans. Couldn't get past 3 sips. Left it on the table. Very disappointing.
I just knew I had missed a cappuccino dearly when I had a fabulous one at Nino's Bakery downtown. This one at Cameo was horrible. I want my money back.
The bakery goods looked old as well.

I think this place as a whole is EXCELLENT! I Love the atmosphere, the energy of the patrons, and the aesthetics. The environment is very welcoming! It almost dares you to leave. It appears to be designed to invite you in, provide a excellent food and drink service, but more importantly an environment where you can mentally relax and get work done. It's not too noisy, at all. At times, the excitement can jump up a bit for a meeting, but walk outside and BAM! there's some peace and calmness, until you here the screeching noise of the damn metrobus brakes in the background. Lattes tastes a little interesting. idk if it's the brand of milks or coffee beans, but the flavor never grasps my tastes buds. It never says come back for more! Love meee! More like, hit me then forget me babeyy. But the place as a whole is outstanding. Come for work, come to chat, come for love, come for brake grease... It's all here

Called at 4:35 and asked if they’re open, they said they’re open until 5, arrived at 4:45 and they said they’re closed ?. Clown business

Great service, food, and atmosphere. I love bringing people here or coming here for remote work. The servers are attentive to people who aren't even ordering food.

First of all, all the syrups are housemade which puts Cameo in a sparsely inhabited upper echelon. I couldn't get on board with their summer seasonal syrups which are strawberry and mango based?? I saw in spring they had a tres leches flavor that sounded wonderful. However, I purchased a caramel latte and was blown away by the rich, creamy, decadence. It is difficult to articulate with words the level of perfection for this coffee. I had high expectations because there are many small coffeeshops in DC, most of which I have tried, but Cameo is certainly worth the hype. Just a beautiful and sumptuous cup of coffee. Price after taxes is about $7, but the coffee is worth twice that.
