Really kind people working here who make customers feel welcome and keep the place in great shape. And they make a delicious chai latte. I come here every time I’m in Navy Yard.

Really kind proprietors who knew every person in line after me. Will be coming back! Dulce de Leche latte slapped.

Natives/Tourists/Passerby- Run, don't walk to the Lot 38 coffee shop! This must be your first pitstop in Navy Yard.

Do yourself a favor and skip those gross burnt bean chains with sketchy customer service where you feel like you're interrupting them as they forget your order. IYKYK.

Instead, head over to family-owned Lot 38, opened and operated by the sweetest folks who know the Navy Yard area well. Corner of L and 2nd SE on the same side of the street as the lobby of the Courtyard Marriott and across from the park.

The espresso brews fresh and the coffee drinks are consistently a 10/10. Lot 38 has breakfast and pastry options, both breakfast and lunch sandwiches too if you need a bit more filling bite with your brew to start the day's adventure. One of the friendliest places, this shop is always hopping and a fun community atmosphere. Even when it's packed, there's not a long wait for drinks or food. If you come by long enough they start to know your name and drink order. Good place to pop by, a nice (CLEAN!) place to meet up with your friends, or come by for a tea or coffee pick-me-up at the tables upstairs.

Start your day's adventure the best way at Lot 38 :)

plenty of seating upstairs. not my preferred place to study considering the tight space. but would recommend socializing here with the range of coffee and food options.

I’ve been coming here for years since I used to live in the area. Always so good. I love their chai— one of the best. And even though I don’t live in the area anymore, I still come by here when I’m in the area because they never disappoint. The owner, Yung, is very friendly!

Best coffee in Navy Yard, HANDS DOWN. Plus, great breakfast and lunch sandwiches. And top it off with some of the best service I've ever had at a neighborhood cafe. These people are so nice, it is truly a joy to come by and get my food and coffee every week. HIGHLY RECOMMEND LOT 38!
