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

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

“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.“

“Must have the Mochi fantastic“

“great food and service nice spot“

“I'm a retired chef from Louisiana but living in Nashville nowadays. I know about eating healthy and I would give this place 2 thumbs up.“

“Nice atmosphere . Troy was a great host/server.“

“Had a fantastic experience at Maman in DC. Dakota, Paul, and Kevin provided exceptional service from start to finish, they took the time to walk me through the menu, offered thoughtful recommendations, and even crafted a special drink just for me that was outstanding. The baked goods were absolutely delicious as well. Truly great hospitality all around, and I really appreciated the extra care they put into making the experience memorable. Highly recommend!“

“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 .“

“Every time I visit my family in DC, I always go to Cafe on 9th! Best place in the neighborhood to get a sandwich, and is NYC folk know how to judge a good BECSPK 🥪 if you want a great breakfast/lunch sandwich, definitely stop by here!“

“refreshing and fulfilling smoothies Healthy and great taste“

“This is a tidy little cafe with a nice selection of healthy eats. I had a falafel wrap with a side of spinach and potatoes and a green smoothie. They have a wide range of options, from their popular chicken shawarma wrap to chickpea or salmon salads, and fresh pressed juices. What stood out to me was the fantastic service. The owner made great suggestions based on my dietary restrictions. It’s a great place to unwind, and a welcome spot im the neighborhood.“

“Delicious food! My friend and I went here during our DC trip. We liked it so much we made sure to go back the next day before our train left. We went back in line and ordered twice each time we went. On the second day, our cashier/server from the first time recognized us and said hi! The chicken in the amba chicken pita is INCREDIBLE“

“Delicious and super staff!“

“One of the best coffee shops in DC and definitely a favorite of mine. I find myself coming back all the time. The orange raspadura latte is a must, and they have the best carajillos in the Union Market area. The customer service is always great, too.

They also have a really reasonably priced happy hour, especially for DC. Great coffee, great drinks, and consistently a good experience. I haven’t tried any food yet but can vouch for the drinks. Highly recommend!“

“It is a cool and nice lounge!“

“The service is excellent, and the food is beautifully prepared and delicious, served on lovely Armenian-style plates. You can also purchase products from Armenia. I wish you every success and offer a big Armenian shnorhakalutyun (thank you) ☀“

“very nice 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰 🥐🍇🍕🧁🍫“

“This has definitely become my new local coffee shop. It’s the kind of place you can go to every day before work starts—it has already become that for me.

The atmosphere is great; it’s a very easy place to get some work done or settle in with a book, and the outdoor seating is a huge plus. I love coming here in the morning for an iced mocha and their sausage, egg, and cheese on an everything bagel. The seasoning is excellent and the food is always fresh.

The staff is super nice and they are incredibly quick with orders. I’m already planning on heading back this Saturday with my new read.

Highly recommend!“

“Toastique is my favorite! That Green Machine smoothie can cure just about anything. I visited today and accidentally dropped my smoothie before I had a sip. They sweetly made me a fresh one and I left feeling embarassed...but I bet this smoothie will cure that, too.“

“Decent sandwich and lunch place. Was pretty busy when we stopped in and there wasn’t a ton of help behind the counter. Felt bad for the folks that had been waiting some time while food delivery orders were prioritized.

That said, the food I got was pretty great. The salad was a little too oily but it was priced pretty fairly for the amount of salad I got.

Overall a decent place. Would stop by if I was looking for a safe lunch option.“

“Suosittelemme Chef Mikko Catering ravintolaa ❤️😍“

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

“i got their matcha and it was so good! i also got their brownie and cookie to eat on a hike with my brother. the brownie was really tasty. i sat down somewhere during that hike and a squirrel tried to grab my bag of sweets which i just wanted to add because the squirrel liked the food too enough to try and steal it!“

“This place is the best. Customer service, hospitality, and atmosphere is on point. Pies are to die for. I saw the Tan & Sober Gentlemen here and had the best time meeting the manager who is DC/MD born and raised. Will be coming back for more pie and shows!“

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

“Great buffet and grill that feels like home. The owners are like family! Chef does a great job!“

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

“This little cafe is extremely nice and cozy. I really liked how the employees treated me and how they helped me out with my order. And on top of all that the food was very fresh and delicious and of course the matcha latte. Thank you very much !“

“OMG! My favorite place for juice, smoothies, avocado toast and acai bowls now has SOUP! Just had their potato squash soup, and it was better than my homemade soup (which is also delicious). Will be visiting often this winter for soup, cappuccino and "stay away cold and flu" juices. Sooo happy to have healthy options close-by!“

“Very quiet & intimate place. Everything was clean & easy to access. The service from Jennifer was so welcoming. You know how it feels to when you go visit relatives you haven’t seen in a while? That’s how Jennifer made me feel. We had a brief interaction but I felt at ease talking to her. The food was absolutely amazing!!! I ordered the catfish & grits. The steam & favor coming from the meal was breathtaking lol. If I return to DC I sure will be back. Also, try one of their homemade drinks. The 14 Carat drink was delicious.“

“Staff and baker were both so kind and welcoming to all who walked in. Some regulars they clearly acknowledged. It didn’t matter what one purchased. And calmly efficient to get everyone in/out. Patrons were also so wonderful, clearly a neighborhood gem. DC is still a city of people trying to hurry along, so I am not expecting lingering and community chit chats. Also around it are few hotels. Now the baked goods, one of the best chocolate croissant, orange scone and the banana chocolate loaf (I slathered it with some peanut butter for protein and that made it even more elevated). The egg sandwich with fresh focaccia a mist try on the spot. I would totally nominate them for an award. No fancy baked goods but that is why it is such a gem.“

“It's a really cute little place. Their signature latte is delicious, and a pastry I tried was also really good. Definitely will be back :)

UPD: and when I've forgotten a bag there, they figured that this review was by me and reached out. Truly the best!!!“

“When it comes to coffee shops, I look for five things... good drip coffee, great music, good treats, good savory food options, and chill, kind people. There are very, very, very few that check all 5 boxes, but this is one of them.

The bagel sandwiches are bomb (shout out to the Humpty Hump), the coffee is always solid (it's La Colombe, iykyk), and the pastries/cakes are some of the best in the biz. I feel like I hear Sade whenever I'm in there, which is obviously great, and the people are the kindest. And the cherry on top is the cutest window seat--truly unmatched.“

“Had a phenomenal honey lavender latte with oat milk made with a house syrup. I would say the latte is on the sweeter side depending on what your preferences are I wouldn’t order this if you don’t like sweeter drinks. However I really enjoyed it iced on a hotter summer day! Very refreshing! And the coffee was superb.“

“Quick, pleasant, and otherwise attentive, staff members at Colada Shop on The Wharf are consummate professionals. Even when I haven’t yet ordered, and am in line, staff prepares my order [they know my preferences] and swiftly checks me out. Coffee and food are delicious. Wonderful.“

“We came for a weekday brunch. We ordered a breakfast sandwich and a spinach omelet. The delicious sandwich was on a beautiful grilled bagel, and the egg portion was generous as was the cheese. The omelet was stuffed full of saites spinach, mushrooms, sausage and cheese. It was served with homemade potatoes and toast. We finished the meal with a generous fruit cup that was also delicious. The only thing that would have made it better was eating on a real plate and not paper. However, the food is totally worth making this a regular stop!“

“Cute spot, good oatmilk cappacino, and fast food made on order. They have a lot of bread options and turkey bacon or sausage as we as the regular ones. Limited seating in winter but enough and looks like a fun patio for warmer weather. It's in a a neighborhood and good for people watching and just being a part of daily routine of DC.“

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

“the people are really nice and the food is great 👍“

“A chill, super affirming space and the food and drinks were great! I’ll definitely be back soon.“

“the best under 20.00 you're gonna find.“

“We visited a Tatte's in Boston and loved it, so we were so happy to find one in D.C. while visiting on our family trip. Great Hot Tea, Coffee and pastries. Croissant 👍 A little loud amd high energy but has lots of seating areas including outdoor.“

“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.“

“My wife and I visited here several times during our trip to Washington DC for breakfast.

We both enjoyed the coffee and the relaxing atmosphere.

Two times I had ham and cheese omelets, and one time my wife had a sausage egg and cheese sandwich on sourdough bread. The meals were very delicious and you can see them preparing the meals too.

The dining room was very clean and quiet enough for conversation.“

“Delicious lunch today. Friendly, attentive staff and lovely atmosphere. Dogs very welcome! Look forward to our next visit.“

“Listen. I only go here for the Chocolate de Abuela (Cuban hot chocolate). I’ve never tried anything else on the menu. It’s so hard to find bougie hot chocolate in this town. In the fall and winter, they put a Cuban style marshmallow in the bottom of the cup and it’s so decadent. But in the spring and summer, the marshmallow disappears but I think they still charge the same for this drink. Offer the marshmallow year round!! Or at least give us a little discount in the spring/summer for our sorrow. One time I went and the marshmallow wasn’t back yet and I left, saying “see you in two weeks” haha.“

“Meeting of three friends for brunch. We arrived ahead of our reservation and were seated within 5 minutes. The server was polite and professional, but seemed to have too many guests to serve as he was slow to serve us. The French toast was lukewarm warm and unexpectedly crispy. The milk for my coffee was curdled but they replaced it with a fresh cup. The location was convenient for us and overall thermosphere and food were pleasant.“

“Delicious tea, scones, chai, and latkas“
