Lot 38 Expresso Bar is a hidden gem in DC and my absolute favorite breakfast spot. I ate here almost daily for 3 years when I lived nearby, and now I make it a point to stop in whenever I'm in town.

Their vanilla latte is perfection - smooth and completely free of bitterness. The sausage, egg, and cheese breakfast sandwich on a soft, perfectly toasted bagel hits the spot every time with its ideal balance of ingredients.

What truly sets Lot 38 apart is the ownership. The proprietor is incredibly kind and welcoming, always ready with a friendly smile and witty conversation that can turn any bad day around.

Whether you need a quick breakfast on your way to work or a cozy spot for a meeting with friends or colleagues, Lot 38 delivers. It's versatile, delicious, and guaranteed to become your new favorite breakfast spot in DC.

The only place I have found in this area that serves Illy coffee. They have the BEST service, and the quality of the coffee and food is EXCELLENT! This is my GO-TO coffee stop when I am in the Navy Yard area.

This place is a hidden gem. They’re fast, coffee is good and the breakfast sandwiches are also. Also it doesn’t break the bank.

Such a wonderful spot. The owners are so kind and helpful. The coffee is perfect and the bread is amazing as well. Located in a great and convenient spot. The interior is beautiful and cozy, and the second floor is the perfect place to work, study, and read. We will definitely be coming back again.

Amazing coffee shop with upstairs seating. Of course the coffee is great but it's really the food that makes me a regular here.

Their breakfast sandwiches are amazing and I walk 2 blocks PAST Bethesda Bagels for Lot 38's breakfast.

The lunch sandwiches are also absolute winners and highly recommend the grilled chicken pesto.

It's a very office-like cafe, using more popular brands of coffee beans, and there's a park in front where you can sit.

This place is amazing and my favorite coffee/breakfast place for a chill morning. Food is always quick, good and fresh and their overall service is amazing! Perfect place to grab a quick coffee/breakfast sandwich or work from upstairs area.

Visited this cafe today after reading good reviews, and it was indeed worth the visit.

Loved the well-made cappuccino and the fresh blueberry muffin.

The seating area is perfect for working on a laptop, reading a booking, and casual meatings.

Staff were friendly and professional.

Another good experience and I’d love to come back!
