$6 Flat white w single origin was dialed in well. Beans were smooth. Nice they have dine-in mug option, more cozy. Cardamom syrup was flavorful, tasted separately on its own.

Minimal seating, music on the louder side, but it's overall a much smaller coffee bar, better for grab and go. Minimal pastry options. Still no pour over yet.

Very friendly and attentive service. They made a wonderful cortado this morning and even made it warmer for me since it was cold outside. I think I created a new policy for them - sorry ladies - too much bureaucracy in this town already, I didn’t mean to add to it!!

Great coffee! However, it did take over 10 minutes for them to make a latte, which kind of defeats the concept of the place—which is a fast-paced spot to grab a quick coffee (since they don’t have wifi or much sitting space). I’m totally fine with this concept—I don’t think every cafe needs to be big and have wifi—but I think in that case they need to work on the efficiency / speed of orders.

Great, authentic and well-made coffee. FYI that there is no wi-fi, so won't be ideal for working, however there are outlets if you need to charge. Great place to run in and out for a caffeine fix, though!

Came here for single-origin espresso. As a coffee enthusiast, the experience was mediocre at best. I didn’t really get to judge the coffee itself as I think the extraction was way off, unfortunately. The environment is fine. No actual chairs, just stools, which is fair for a “bar”. Clean bathroom.

I stayed in a hotel nearby and was very happy to find the coffee bar. Very flavorful flat whites with great latte art. Friendly service and pleasant atmosphere for drinking from the real cups.

This was the best vanilla latte I’ve had in DC

Their iced vanilla latte is honestly one of my favorites in DC. It’s so simple but they manage to make it delicious every time! I love that they use a shaker to combine everything before pouring it into a glass. It helps ensure everything is combined and I love it. The space inside is very small so it’s definitely more of a to go spot, but it’s close to so many office buildings and open working spaces that I don’t mind at all.
