Came in for a late afternoon coffee and ordered a Tahitian Vanilla Latte ($6) and Thoughtful Mocha($6) through the iPad. It was not busy at all, but it took over 10 minutes for the drinks to come out. Seems like most of the employee are on their phone and only take digital orders. Drinks were not that good, not sure how to describe it besides being very off. Disappointed that it did not taste good since it was in a very nice area. Drink: 5.0 Staff/service: 3.0 Value: 6.0 Overall: 4.8/10

I went to Slipstream with the family for breakfast on a trip to DC to see the cherry blossoms. The place was 5mins walking from my hotel. They had options to order from a QR code at the table or in the front. We ordered the lattes and avacado toast. Everything was delicious and it was a great place to get breakfast.

Wonderful, rich and deep espresso. Had breakfast twice and enjoyed the calm atmosphere - feels like sitting at the kitchen table at home waking up ? Thanks for a great beginning of my day.

Coffee is okay. Not great. The service is so unpleasant, every time Ive been here someone who works here has something bitchy or passive aggressive to say. Its exhausting. If it weren't a decent place to sit and work on my laptop and watch the world go by, I probably wouldn't ever go back. Ugh

Quiet cozy atmosphere. Did my first cupping session here. Intimate as it was informational. The barista is truly a connoisseur who was happy and excited to share all her knowledge on the beauty, skill, and hard work involved in farm to cup. Flavor wheels and grading sheets were provided as we sampled each bean; guiding us to understand and make conscious associations between palette and coffee characteristics.

Food is great, coffee is delicious and the staff are very friendly. Cozy atmosphere and the seating is great, only downside is that it gets busy on the weekend.

A coffee shop to remember! Their filter coffee blend is beautifully presented on a hand-made-looking wodden tray, a small pretty coffee carafe, and the small size is plenty for even the greatest coffee addict (and very cheap in this inflationary world). The space had a great ambience, a mix of people working on something and conversing, great energy, and kool music from the 80s and 90s, not the irritating plastic pop in some establishments. Very nice, non-obtrusive servers and barristas. And all this in one of my fave locations of DC, Logan Circle. 6 stars! I'll be back.

I got the vanilla latte and it was pretty good. Sweet enough I didn't need to add sugar but not too sweet. I was disappointed they didn't have almond milk but they did at least have skim which is more than call your mother had so I was happy with that. I wanted to try "sweater weather" but they pre make the mixture with oat milk and I didn't want oat milk. I will say my wait time for one coffee felt excessive. It was around 10-15 minutes. The coffee was good but probably not 10-15 minutes good ;) The atmosphere was hopping and seemed like a great place to meet up with friends or sit by yourself and work on a project that would benefit from ambient noise. Update: tried the thoughtful mocha. Couldn't even taste the miso. Nothing special unfortunately. Next day tried a simple cortado- the one from my local coffee shop in blue hill is so much smoother and tastier. I'm sure the beans and coffee itself are high quality but the execution is lacking. I'd love to see so more interesting drinks put on the menu or current ones improved. The Tahitian vanilla latte would be the best I'd recommend but even that didn't "wow" me.

Incredible vanilla latte. Still talking about it 6 months later. Can y'all open a shop in Atlanta?

This could be such a great little cafe; very conveniently located, service is amicable, and food pretty good and well priced. The main issue is that the coffee is so bitter it's undrinkable.

This cafe has such welcoming atmosphere with rather jazzy modern interior. very quiet. On a gloomy day, it was a good way to start the day with positive energy given by this cafe. I had sweater weather latte that seemed to be their signature drink which has interesting flavor with a little citrus touch. The waiter brought us complementary cookies for the day.

Food is great but prices are very high. Also they automatically charge gratuity even on a takeout coffee, which ends up being over $6, and don’t tell you that they’re doing so.
