We have been coming to this place since 2015. I love their coffee and sandwiches/wraps . It is a very cozy place inside and the outdoor space.

Best matcha in the city. Delicious chai. Awesome and friendly customer service. Kallie is the best. Breakfast sandwiches are yum. Quick and friendly service. Hidden gem.

Despite living in the area for a while, I hadn't been to this coffee shop, but finally got the chance last weekend. It was pouring, so we didn't get to enjoy the outdoor seating but I was impressed how much seating they manage to squeeze into the small interior space. The space does feel a bit cramped (especially on a rainy Saturday) but this is clearly a local gem - the staff knew a lot of regular customers by name and the atmosphere was very cute. My friend and I got chai tea lattes, which were very good! Not too sweet, creamy but also nicely spiced. Would definitely get another one. I got a bacon, egg and cheese bagel, which was a little underwhelming for the price, but nothing wrong with it. Their cream cheese options looked good, so I think if I were to go for breakfast again, I'd just get a bagel with cream cheese. It's a little on the higher side of pricing, but it's a very great little shop, so I'm happy to support it. I'll be back!

The coffee is horrible. It has no flavor. I think that it didn't enough coffee in it and too much almond milk. My daughter's had too much Oat milk in it.

I was visiting my brother recently and he lives in the area, a short walk away. This place became my favorite local spot, I wanted to go everyday I was there. The ambiance, the service, the food, the muffins, the coffee, everything was perfect. I ordered the egg white sandwich three days in a row, so did my mom and brother. On the last day we also ordered the blueberry muffin and apple walnut coffee cake, both were moist and delicious. I'm back home in Atlanta and literally craving Jacob's. I can't wait to come back and visit, thank you for such a memorable experience.

The white mocha was incredible. The default tip numbers on the iPad were a touch on the high side, I'd prefer they just pay and charge me more for the coffee. Not gonna fault them for a now-ubiquitous experience, though.Parking: Lots of parking (can only speak for Sundays!)

Stopped by for a mid-week coffee and sandwich...awesome! The best coffee in DC. A friendly crew who know how to brew a coffee and make a decent sandwich. Lots of tables and chairs, will come again.Parking: Street parking is available but not especially easy to find. Walk, it'll do you good.

Overpriced and average. But they're the only coffee shop in a ten-minute walk in any direction, so they can and apparently do get away with being solidly OK.

My partner and I were only in town for the weekend and this lil cafe was a few blocks away from our airbnb. We went the first morning for coffee and breakfast before hitting the city and came back every morning after. The coffee was delicious, breakfast sandwiches were fresh and yummy, THE BAGELS! Wow! I’m from New Jersey but this might have been the best bagel I’ve ever had. However, the star of the show was the fresh baked pastries we saw hand delivered daily by who I believe was one of the owners. We were so in love with the cheese danish we bought a few home to share with our family. Only complaint was that it feels a bit crammed inside but they have a sweet outdoor space where you can enjoy your treats. I’m really gonna miss this place, must try if you’re in the area!

This place was a short walk from our airbnb which was great. It’s a cute little place nestled in a friendly neighborhood. My bf and I ordered bagel sandwiches and coffee and a chocolate croissant. After about 10 mins, my iced latte came out and I’d give it a 6/10. I’m a bit of a harsh latte critic but it satisfied me nonetheless. Their coffee beans have a nice flavor! We waited another 25 mins before my bf asked if they were still working on our order, since people who ordered after us were receiving their bagels. It wasn’t their fault, but a meal ticket failed to print so they weren’t even aware of our order. Luckily we had our receipt attached to my drink so they could see what we ordered. When we finally got our food, it made up for it! GET THE LOX BAGEL! I get lox bagels whenever I can, and this one was delicious!! 10/10 bagels. The employees were very apologetic and sweet about not receiving our orders but we totally understood. The place is very small though and has minimal seating, but we managed to find a spot before their morning rush. Stop here for your bagels!!
