9 Best Coffee Roasters in Washington

“The café is very aesthetic, looks really beautiful and is cozy and tidy. The staff is friendly and they have a variety of food options. I had their oatmeal & quinoa bowl, which I personally didn’t like, but that’s my preference. Their matcha on the other hand was good. I will definitely go there again and try other breakfast options🍵✨“

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

“I have enjoyed drinking Harrar Coffee for more than six years. I discovered the Roastery one day while walking on Georgia Avenue and was really impressed by the coffee. I have moved to South Carolina and order it by mail for the last three years. The absolute best coffee.“

“Swing’s serves some of the best coffee in the city. Roasted dark, nutty, and just shy of too acidic, the kind of cup that wakes up your soul and your skepticism. The beans, flown in from Ethiopia, Guatemala, and Costa Rica, clearly traveled better than you did as mandated by GSA travel per diems.

The baristas, meanwhile, maintain the quiet confidence of people who know they’re serving excellence and would prefer you not to ruin the vibe by existing. They glide around with the aloof grace of caffeinated monks, and somehow, that indifference makes the experience feel almost holy.

It’s coffee worth the attitude. Bring humility — and cash.“

“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.“

“Been going here for a couple years and love it! Always so cozy and Ron is so friendly and willing to teach me about coffee. Great selection and tasty brews.

I will say the few times i have been and it wasn't Ron working the coffee definitely took a quality hit. But I'm sure with time that will change!

Excited to learn they are expanding :)“

“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.“

“Had an outstanding experience at Unido Coffee! Ordered the salad and a Panama Geisha coffee — both were exceptional. The Geisha was beautifully prepared and really showcased the beans' quality. The salad was fresh and hit the spot. What really stood out was the customer service — the team was welcoming, attentive, and clearly passionate about what they do. Highly recommend if you're in DC and appreciate great coffee and good vibes. Will definitely be back“
