10 Best Coffee Roasters in Washington

“Favorite local coffee spot. Great staff! Great coffee!“

“I’ve been going to this coffee shop since 2012, minus the years they were closed for renovations and COVID. The coffee is excellent. The tea is excellent. The service is excellent. The vibe is excellent in that it’s not trying to be anything other than a coffee shop that’s been around for a long time. 10/10, no notes.“

“I wish this was my neighborhood coffee. The staff are so lovely. One refilled my personal water bottle for me.

Also the food is delicious, there’s good variety and the seating is comfy. My only complaint is the water faucets were really hot last time I visited but maybe that was a fluke.

Ugh, I may need to move to Columbia Heights so I can visit more often.“

“I came to this cafe before going to the courthouse to get marriage documents, and the ladies were so kind and celebratory. Not to mention, my ginger tea and white mocha were delicious. This coffee shop is one I’ll definitely be returning to!“

“Instantly became my favorite coffee destination in the DMV! This cafe carries top-shelf single-origin coffees from several roasters, both local and international. Both of the pour-overs that we sampled—namely, a washed Colombian and a honey-processed Hawaiian—were aromatic and perfectly extracted. The batch brew is also excellent.

Coffee aside, the cafe also affords a wonderful ambiance. It’s nestled within a plant store so that one can sip coffee while appreciating the verdant vegetation on offer.“

“I was in a training near the 15th Street location of Zeke’s. Found it the first morning and went back every day. Shared my experience with others and we all loved it. A local was amazed at her coffee and will be a regular now. The employees were so kind and remembered my order every single day. Best dirty chai I’ve ever had! Quality coffee. Friendly employees. Great prices.“

“This location is very nice. Especially the outdoor seating facing the street. The staff here is excellent, nice and helpful. My chai was pretty good and it's cool that they have a few drinks on draft. I haven't seen that in many coffee shops definitely a neat feature. I didn't try any food so my review is only regarding service and drinks.“

“Very good coffee. Excellent atmosphere. Friendly staff.“

“I came in and tried on of their seasonal drinks called the papaya matcha lemonade. I also purchased the same drink for my friend at work. It included papaya coconut and lime fruit whip and it was one of the most refreshing drinks that I've had in a long time. The cafe was incredibly busy and there was a line to the door! I like the set-up of the cafe and there are several rooms for people to sit and eat or do whatever they need to on their computer. Because there were so many people, it was quite loud. I didn't stay that long, as I was seriously late for work. It's a nice cafe.“
