Nice place for morning cappuccino,
It gets bz , at nights , can’t enjoy sitting outside !
An eclectic cafe in Adams Morgan with an interesting mixture of people. Creatives, digital nomads, and book readers will enjoy the atmosphere. The coffee and tea comes with nostalgic animal crackers.
Food was nice but it’s almost impossible to find a table on the day I visited (a Friday) due to the majority of tables being used by someone on a laptop with headphones on “working from home”. I wonder whether it’s more profitable to turn around tables quicker with people coming in for food/lunch as opposed to someone sitting in all day and ordering a few drinks.
Coffee was completely undrinkable. Burnt to the fiery pits of hell and back. The service matched the terrible coffee. Dryer than a dog turd on a hot day. The only saving grace was the breakfast burrito, which was half-decent. Don’t waste your money here.
One of the few places that actually open early and they’re so good! Good for solo dining or friend groups. The menu has great selections and the graham crackers they serve with their drinks is a cute touch.
Great spot, great vibe
Unfriendly staff and drinks are average, overall negative vibe
Avacado toast was too thick and could barely chew, sourdough was hard and the coffee was cold, other than that the taste was average.
The food was ok at best the price was high very slow and the service was very stuffy and rude the atmosphere was not very appealing to my wife and I
Stuck up people turning their noses up as well at the staff doing it as well unacceptable bad service all around

Came in on Black Friday at 1PM with a friend for a coffee + reading hangout. The interiors were nice and cozy. I thought it would be a typical cafe where you stand in line and place your order but I was told to sit down and wait for a server. Cool, I thought. But we had to wait 20 mins for someone to come by and take our coffee order. I was sitting on one of the long couches and had to share with another customer. He sat down at 1:40 and as I write this at 2:12, no one has come by to take his order!! One of the cleaners walked by saying he was going to call the server but no one came for this man’s order. Do better. Or just let us place our orders at the counter?

I don’t live anywhere near here and google suggested it when I accidentally hit a few buttons. But I give it 5 stars because the stuff looks really good and it probably is. 🐸👍🐸👍

I gave this cafe a 5-star review in the past because I had great interaction with the other employees. Although, today, what pissed me off was a white woman who is probably in her late 30s with short dark blond hair, at least 5'7-5'8 in height, skinny white woman. I barely sat down, and I wanted to work on my schoolwork after work, and I already had a long day I was on the phone with my gf Who heard everything BTW. The white woman came to me, gave me a menu, and water. I didn't want anything at the moment because I wanted to go over my school work and just settle in. She came back 5 minutes later after she eyeing me for across the bar and said, "I can get you anything?" I didn't open the menu yet to go over what I wanted at the moment so I replied, "I am alright with the water for (Right Now) She gave me RUDE!!!!! remark: "You are just going to sit in a restaurant and not order anything!?" (I am alright with the water for Right Now, what does that tell her please come to me when I'm ready to order!--- I gave her a look and said, "Just leave the menu there I will eventually!" Mind you - I’m a regular - then she walked away with a horrible attitude. Then I ordered a Chai Tea after her return and It was given to me cold like What Did I do to you, Lady? IF she is the manager here, talk about a hostile environment. I work at a cafe too, and not ONCE I would say that to a customer. I understand if they are lingering around, and you ask them 2-3 times, and if they want anything and they still say no, then, by all means, you can ask them to leave. I've been coming here for 2 months straight and spent my money here had good conversations I always said Hello to the employees that I know! I made this place my original spot to come to after work or on my weekends off. (IT LOOKS LIKE I WILL CONTINUE MY SERVICE ELSE! WHERE!) As a brown person I felt beyond discriminated considering the fact she was only NICE to the white people around me smiled to them and spoke with customers service voice and then side eyeing me and never acknowledged me once to see how is everything going only to the WHITE PEOPLE around me. Thanks Karen for ruining my regular cafe. This is why we CANT have nice things!
