50 Best Cafes near Camp Springs

“Milk and Honey is the best restaurant ever.. great waitress and staff. Great cook overall I give it a 100 out of 10“

“The food was insanely good—bursting with flavor! I highly recommend trying the oxtail and the mac and cheese; it’s seriously next-level. For the quality and portion size, the prices are more than fair—totally worth every penny. The owner is incredibly friendly and helpful, which just adds to the great experience. Bonus: if you’re not in Virginia, she also has another location in Maryland, so you’ve got options!“

“I love this place! The food is phenomenal! I can’t get over the tempeh burger!!!“

“We had the best time at KooKoo DC last night. They accommodated a table of 14 for my spouse's birthday and never let us feel like an imposition. The food was so fresh, authentic, and reasonably priced - I did a double take when we got the bill. I even felt like we went all-out with apps, drinks, and desserts! The owner was also so kind - we just felt so cared for the whole time and can't wait to visit again.“

“We had a great lunch! Highly recommended! 😋😋😋“

“great food and service nice spot“

“Delicious and super staff!“

“Must have the Mochi fantastic“

“I love the atmosphere of this place. When you enter La Cosecha, you’re welcomed by a variety of restaurants and small local businesses — it feels vibrant and creative.
But I’m focusing on Café Unido, because this coffee comes from my home country, Panama. So every time I’m in Washington, I have to stop by.

The space is filled with beautiful natural light coming through the large windows facing the street — perfect for enjoying a slow moment with a cup of coffee. The aroma and flavor are exactly what I expect from good Panamanian coffee: rich, smooth, and full of character.

I believe they could take even more advantage of how special it is to have a Panamanian coffee franchise in Washington — it deserves to be highlighted and promoted more. I truly hope they open more locations around the city so more people can experience it.

I tried the Caramel Latte, and it was delicious. If you like my pictures, give a follow on IG: @framinizingdiary“

“My experience at maman’s was very amazing. I had the papas breakfast bowl after getting some recommendations from the worker Kevin. He was very respectful and Helpful and made my experience memorable. I’ll definitely be coming back — and hoping Kevin’s there next time.“

“I wish this was my neighborhood coffee. The staff are so lovely. One refilled my personal water bottle for me.

Also the food is delicious, there’s good variety and the seating is comfy. My only complaint is the water faucets were really hot last time I visited but maybe that was a fluke.

Ugh, I may need to move to Columbia Heights so I can visit more often.“

“As a Central Asian who grew up with a similar culture and cuisine, I can confidently say this is the best Middle Eastern restaurant I’ve ever visited.

We sat at the bar, where the two bartenders provided great service.

The dishes were creatively presented and rich in diverse flavors. The Pita with Mushrooms and Hummus was our favorite.

The Frozen Halva Bar is, without a doubt, the most unique and delicious dessert I’ve ever tried. The combination of chocolate ganache, sesame, and halva ice cream blended perfectly. Thank you, pastry Chef, Evyn.“

“It is a cool and nice lounge!“

“spacious inside. some seating outside as well.. good place to eat, drink, and view art.“

“One of my favorite coffee shops in DC!! Tucked away in the outskirts of Adams Morgan, Yerevan may not look like much from the outside, but this hidden gem is an absolute delight. The staff is all super friendly, and they have the most incredible selection of pastries, coffee, and tea. I have probably tried half of their pastry case, and I continue to be impressed with each and every item. I absolutely adore their homestyle baklava -- the phyllo dough is perfectly crispy and soaks up the honey and nut mixture beautifully, and the dessert is simultaneously decadent and not overly sweet. The honey nugget is a great little sweet bite, and is the perfect gluten-free treat or small pick-me-up, and the honey cake is absolutely incredible. It's a smidge overly sweet (as the main flavor is, as the name implies, honey), but it still manages to be amazing.

Beyond their lovely sweets, their drinks are incredible. They have one of my favorite matcha lattes in DC, as well as a matcha rose latte that is perfect when you're looking for a hint of spring. Their coffee is also wonderful, with a great nutty aroma and deep, robust flavor. It's also served in the cutest little Armenian mugs, which really adds to the overall experience.

The space is shockingly large, with 4-5 larger tables and a couple 2-person tables, all beautifully arranged with cute little flower pots and throw pillows. They even have a small stack of books and board games if you get bored of yapping and need something else to keep you entertained. It's the perfect, cozy little spot to either read, work, or catch up with friends.“

“Decadent. My first pavlova ever and it was pretty good. Cookie sandwich is very dark chocolate with pecans and a nice contrast to sweetness of pavlova. Was skeptical that the gluten free part of the other pastry would be good but it was fine :)“

“I stopped into this pie shop and walked out with an armful of treats, absolutely no regrets.

I tried the chocolate pecan pie first, and honestly, it should come with a warning label. Rich, gooey, perfectly nutty, and just dangerous enough to make you consider rearranging your entire diet around it.

The steak, mushroom, and cheese pie was pure comfort food magic. Flaky crust, savory filling, and that melty cheese situation? Trust me, it’s the kind of pie that makes you close your eyes for a second just to process the happiness.

And yes, I also grabbed some Berger cookies, because self-control is overrated. Thick icing, soft cookie, somehow both nostalgic and decadent at the same time.

I leave nearby and I will orders a few pies for the holiday ❤️😋😋“

“Our group was visiting from out of town and wanted to find a coffee shop within walking distance from our airbnb.
We saw the great reviews for Sylvan cafe and decided to stop in.
I got a Chai latte and veggie omelet which were affordable and very tasty! I’d highly recommend stopping in if you’re in the area“

“Everything is delicious! My personal favorite is their chicken on a pita bread, all mezeh (salads) are very yummy! Labneh and pita chips sooo addicting! Their tots omg is a must have every time I go there. Coffeeeeee yesss don’t forget to order it too! Try everything and you won’t be disappointed. Ooohh!! Pastriesssss! Yesss!!!“

“very nice 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰 🥐🍇🍕🧁🍫“

“My caramel macchiato was delicious 😋“

“Everything about this place feels magical and beautiful. The staff are kind, welcoming, and create such a positive atmosphere. The drinks are absolutely delicious, making the whole experience a joy from start to finish. It’s also deeply encouraging to see a business that openly stands in solidarity with the Palestinian people and against genocide. Places like this give so much hope. 🇵🇸🫶🏻“

“My family and I ordered couple of bagels, and breakfast plates. I personally ordered the western omelet, my older son got the breakfast plate, and my wife and other son got 2 bagels with cream cheese. Taste wise, everything is good, we enjoyed our meal, what really stood out was the price. The previous day, we had Star Bucks, 4 drinks and 2 croissant which came out to around $60. Here, we had breakfast for around $30 and 2 of the plates are fresh cooked meals and tasted great. The food tasted so good, I only remember to take a picture of it 1/2 way done.

While the place was small, there were at least 3 tables to sit larger family of 4 to 6.“

“Visited the café today! Loved the delectable and creative menu, the warm service, and the beautiful, cozy interior. We enjoyed the inasal, tocino, and ube latte (complete with delicate latte art) courtesy of Sun and Stars Coffee. Our kid was thrilled she could enjoy an ube steamer, too-- and didn't want to stir her drink because she found the art (Hiraya's logo in this instance) so beautiful. If you want reimagined, creative, and elevated Filipino cuisine where the flavors simultaneously bring back sensory memories of the comfort food of your childhood, this is the place for you. Can't wait to return!“

“Great food and drinks! Lovely atmosphere! My favorite are the Belarusian and Ukrainian dishes like borscht and bliny. Also, love the light desserts.“

“Just went here for the first time after F45. Service was fantastic and the man who helped us was kind enough to split our bagel without asking.

Small gestures go a long way and will definitely be going back. On top of that , great coffee and a great lox bagel.“

“Absolutely love this place. Neighborhood institution. No one else in the area does breakfast diner food in the area, and they do it perfectly. Pancakes, breakfast sandwiches, everything. And then its great Caribbean cuisine all day long. Can't recommend it enough.“

“This place was an absolute gem during our week-long stay in DC. We visited it a whopping five times! We had such a great time, especially when we made a funny joke about breakfast for the next morning. 😂 Because we had already eaten it .“

“Amazing cafe reccomend to all people Spanish, American , Black , dont matter anyone here is welcome love the food love the smoothies are amazing just wish the place had a better schedule and was open everyday possibly? and close at 8PM or something or maybe close at 6pm i am a teenager and i give this a perfect review!“

“I almost don't want to review it for fear of this hidden gem being overtaken by hype and becoming packed. However, it would be a disservice to not support the good people at Amen Cafe, so I will. This quaint, lowkey spot, tucked in the corner of Georgia Avenue and easy to walk by, is a MUST visit. The hospitality is unlike most cafes. They're attentive, kind, and make you feel secure in a home away from home feel. The Ethiopian coffee is some of the richest and boldest in the city, and if you want a huge wake up, get the ginger coffee. The fresh juice is refreshing and revitalizing, and always hits the spot. The pastries and sandwiches are solid as well, but by far if you're going to visit, get the Ful or Ful special, its a beautiful, rich spread that is my personal go to. I didn't even know I liked ful and now I'm hooked. I tried other cafes, no one in the city makes better ful than here. So yeah, I love my cafe, I hope it never leaves. Ameseghnalew“

“Outstanding service, flavor, and value… plus an outdoor rooftop space! Couldn’t have asked for more.“

“I love City Place Cafe and the staff is amazing🥰“

“This Restaurant is Incredible ?. Great food and service ?. Perfection ?“

“Every time I come to Washington DC I always make sure to stop here at this coffee shop. They have amazing espresso and coffee drinks. Today I had an iced Americano and also this little pastry treat with almonds on it. That was delicious. I think this is one of the best coffee shops in the whole area.“

“By far the best coffee you will ever have. Great atmosphere at both locations. Wonderful fresh coffee beans to purchase. Pastries and baked good galore. Stop by. You'll be glad you did.“

“The high quality ingredients make for the best espresso drinks I have ever had! Delicious iced tea in the summer too.“

“Blue Bottle Malibu is one of my favorite spots to meet clients and friends. The coffee is always excellent, the patio is relaxed, and the location makes it easy to stop by between appointments. Even though Blue Bottle has shops everywhere, the Malibu one has its own unique coastal vibe — bright, airy, and a great place to take a breather during a busy day. Always consistent and always a favorite.“

“Great bakery with alot of options! The turkey avocado sandwich was yummy! Also got an iced matcha latte, it wasn't bad but wasn't expecting full Unsweetened. The pistachio croissant had a good flavor but would've been way better warmed up!“

“Great place: friendly staff, good drinks, and excellent service.

I loved the vibe in this café. It’s the kind of spot where you can read a book, work on your laptop, or meet up with friends.

Jesse had a great attitude and made a perfect matcha. Thank you!

The music selection was good, and the volume was just right. I usually leave cafés if the music is too distracting, but that definitely wasn’t the case here.

This one’s officially on my list of favorite cafés and recommendations 🤍“

“Best coffee value in Downtown. Baristas are pros“

“I LOVE this place. Im a regular and come every week, Diego and Glenda are the best, they remember my order everytime and are super friendly!! Theyre the reason I keep coming. The iced latte with almond milk is one of my favorites in DC, and their breakfast sandwhiches are also super good.“

“Great spot for a quick bite and/or coffee! They have plenty of food options on the menu with typical breakfast & lunch offerings. I ordered the breakfast burrito which was pretty solid and sufficiently cheesy. I would've liked to see some hot sauce offered but not a big deal. I also really liked sitting at the window for some quality people watching while I enjoyed my coffee.“

“Amazing organization...staffed by amazing people...all doing amazing work in the world!“

“I stopped by this cafeteria for a quick solo lunch and was impressed by the clean space and efficient setup.
There was a good variety of food, and I liked being able to choose only what I wanted and pay accordingly.
The staff were kind and professional, which made the experience even better.
I’m looking forward to trying their made-to-order sandwiches next time!“

“This location is very nice. Especially the outdoor seating facing the street. The staff here is excellent, nice and helpful. My chai was pretty good and it's cool that they have a few drinks on draft. I haven't seen that in many coffee shops definitely a neat feature. I didn't try any food so my review is only regarding service and drinks.“

“Food place to get work done!“

“Consistent well done soul food. Henry's is my go to place for when I need go bring my own food (think summer outdoor events). The portions are good, the food will leave you satisfied and full. My favs are the fried chicken and when they have them the ribs.“

“I'd go broke If I lived near Tatte Bakery, because the experience was so great, I would go everyday!
The staff blew me away with how polite and responsive they were to my needs. The food was really good. I had the lamb meatball shakshuka and a cup of hot chocolate (super tasty). The atmosphere was cozy and quaint and perfect for post-Church brunch!“

“My experience was great, the staff was very attentive, the atmosphere was clean and pleasant, with music by Jezz, and the prices were very affordable. I ordered the Green Macha, and the sandwich is made to order, just the way you like it. They also have lunch, which is VERY GOOD!“

“Good food prepared fresh in front of you.

I enjoyed my bagel and loxs for breakfast so much that I returned for lunch and had the Reuben.

Prices are reasonable for an expensive city like DC. Restaurant was clean and tidy. The staff was friendly and helpful!

Will return!
