Great coffee I stopped by to try their seasonal strawberry draft latte. I got two small drinks. One drink was filled to the top but the other one noticeably had less volume. Felt a bit ripped off considering that it is almost $7 per drink.

I used to really love this place! And I'm not one to leave bad reviews, but today my experience was unfortunately really negative, I left feeling sad at how I was treated.After ordering my cappuccino, I asked about the brownie ingredients (I have a few allergies). Initially, she said "what do you mean whats in it... and stared at me." The barista seemed extremely aggravated when I then asked what allergens the chocolate brownie had and she repeated multiple times angrily "its gluten free" when I clarified "oh but do you have an allergen list or anything." Again, just "its gluten free." So I said "alright, I have allergies so I'm fine then. That'll be all" (the only thing rung up was my coffee). And I went to pay for my coffee. But she just kept staring at me deadpan so I said "okay that'll be all please" again. After a few seconds she asks "do you want the brownie or not?" I said no that'll be all. And she said do you want the brownie? I said no thats all, just the cappuccino please. At which point she allowed me to pay and quickly went off to giggle with and whisper in the ear of the barista, seemingly about my question? (While another customer behind me waited). And the cappuccino wasn't foamy, disappointing experience.Dietary restrictions: Not dietary restriction friendly. If you ask for allergens you will be laughed at and treated with hostility.

One of the best places to get a cup of coffee in DC. They have a really nice brew for their coffees. I got the flat white, which tasted really good, and had a strong roast. They also have a couple of coffees from all over the world. Nice place to study, and the service here is really nice. Servers were patient, and willing to offer recommendation. Coffee came in a matter of a few minutes.

I liked the cuteness/ambiance of this place a lot. The service was excellent and the taste of my flat white was very smooth and balanced, just how I like it. The only negative is: I should’ve ordered a bigger drink as the one they made was on a smaller side.

Great place to get work done! Their nitro cold brew latte is one of my favorites. Ample seating and outlets during the week, but no wifi so bring your hotspot. The people who work here are super kind and I love the natural lighting!

One of (if not THE) best coffeeshop in DC. Excellent barista staff. Expresso done right and a good selection of roasts.

great tucked away coffee shop but note that there's no wifi which isn't necessarily a bad thing

I love this coffee shop! Friendly baristas, tasty espresso, and overall good vibes. Only negative is that it's packed on weekend mornings, but if you find yourself here on a weekday or after the morning rush, it was not disappoint! I usually get a hot or iced latte, but they currently have a strawberry latte special that I just had to share with fellow yelpers - subtle taste and not too sweet which to me makes for the perfect balance of flavor in my coffee!

I was in the neighborhood for work and needed some caffeine. Man, was it hard to find this place! I thought it was going to lead me to a dead end or something. A bit worrisome too as some cars were coming in and out as I walked through the alley looking for the store. Coffee wise - it's alright. Got a hot vanilla latte with regular milk. Was nearly $6. The store is really small and it was super crowded at around 9 AM. I definitely think they need to put more signs at both entrances of the alley to direct people here.

I love going to this location because of the great atmosphere. The workers are always so friendly and talkative. I always feel welcome. I only wish they had wifi so I could work from there. The drinks are good and you can tell they care to make them well.

Wonderful little shop hidden away on a back alley. Super cute, and some decent brew. Not the BEST in the area, but pretty close. Girlfriend loved the Draft latte and I enjoyed a pour over.
