A really great place for coffee. I don't know if I've ever had coffee this good!! I got a simple vanilla latte and it's incredible

The best thing about slipstream is the almond latte and customer service!

Found this convenient spot just down from my hotel in the Navy Yard area and it was perfect for my needs. It's definitely got a hip, modern, 20-something vibe (I stopped trying to categorize generations) and everyone seemed to enjoy.The coffee was as expected, I'm not a connoisseur but it wasn't bad and met all my expectations. Weird outcome, I actually got a cup that eventually leaked out of the bottom. Back in my hotel room (needed to grab and go back for an online meeting) it was puddling up and I realized it was slowly coming out the bottom. Probably an anomaly but just watch for it.Got the breakfast sandwiches and so good. The jam they put on it is unique. Held together nicely and was a good portion (not too large). Service typical, a few minute wait they make your food fresh which I'm fine with.Location, great for walking (near the baseball stadium). Parking probably not so much. Very easy walk from the Metro however.It's not a budget stop but if you want a craft breakfast in a fun, young professional or weekend vibe, I would go here. I went twice during my visit and look forward to going back on my next business trip.

I went on a Sunday morning which surprisingly was not too busy. The food was good but took some time to come out. The coffee was excellent. The QR code seemed to give people some trouble and made ordering complicated.

Loved this place, but unfortunately the 18% automatic gratuity for all orders is a little ridiculous. Over $11 for 2 take out black, drip coffees. No thank you. Will be going somewhere else for coffee now.

Slipstream is a popular coffee shop in Navyard, which is known to be a very "bougie" and upscale area in DC. The coffee shop itself is cute and seems like a nice place to get work done. The prices though are way too overpriced for what they are serving. One very basic chai latte and a slice of banana bread was over $14.

I used to come here multiple times a week to grab coffee and maybe a breakfast sandwich and was a very happy frequent customer.Then, in the past few weeks, they added an automatic 18% service charge to all orders.This is for take-out coffee in a paper cup. Coffee that I order myself at the counter or in their app and collect myself. There is no "service." And these are not cheap drinks: $6-7 for a cold brew or latte.I'll be taking my business elsewhere to places that don't charge hidden, exploitative garbage fees on top of already high prices.

I know inflation is bad, but this is just outrageous.. I really love their vanilla latte, but the last few times I’ve gone here, an automatic 18% gratuity has been without notification (clicking through immediately on Square) for my takeout coffee, leaving the price at just over $9 for a simple latte!This has happened to me twice in the last month, but I just looked up a receipt for the same order last year (October 2022) and the baseline price for this latte went up from $6 to $7, and there was no ridiculous automatic gratuity. That’s almost a 40% price increase in a year.I generally love tipping my servers (even past 25% on occasion) when the service is great and I am dining in, but this is absurd for takeout coffee. I am extremely frustrated by this situation, and will be taking my business elsewhere.

Honestly smelled so weird in here and the coffee was just average

Prices are quite high for what you get. Staff were apathetic and unengaging. I stood waiting for my food for about 15 minutes before realizing it was just sitting on the counter getting cold. How am I supposed to know where to "pickup" my order if you don't say anything to a first time patron? It really felt like staff couldn't care less.

What a gem. Delicious and unique and nutritious foods and drink options. I got the poached pear toast and the spicy chicken sandwich. They were both delicious. Such a thick, meaty and flavorful sandwich. Top tier food quality. Everything is fresh and made from scratch. I Sat at the bar after I placed my order. They brought it right to me, after a close to 10 minute wait. The vibes and teamwork I was witnessing made super happy to be supporting the place as well as treating myself! Keep up the great work. Everyone was SO friendly and accommodating. Eating here and finding this place made my day!

Nice ambiance. Calm, polite, joyous, full of wonderful people. Loved the salmon toast! Tasted like my most wonderful experiences back home with friends after good long runs. And the sweet potato biscuit… OMG! thank god I took it to go, otherwise I would have had more ?
