Coffee Shops near Hillcrest Heights

“Had to pick up my grandson from school. Of course, he wanted McDonald's, so we went. Super friendly, fast serve, and the best were hot fries. I am big on shouting out great customer service. I wish I had a picture, but we ate it all up..We will visit again “

“Great waiter- delicious food, unique and cooked perfect! Music and vibes were very very fun!!!“

“The food is wonderful. We always eat here when we come up from Richmond, VA. The staff is great as well.“

“A consistently great spot in the neighborhood no matter what time of day. Excellent coffee drinks and pastry items (especially the Guava Pastry) in the morning, lunch options for a real meal, and cocktails and food for dinner. Food can be a little expensive depending on the dish, but there has never been a bad one! Cocktails are always creative and well balanced as well.“

“Had an amazing experience with my aunt in the little blackbird. The food was to die for and had an amazing taste of different small plates. High praise to the gnochi with beetroot, very odd combination but one of the best I have ever had. Would like to thank Sarah for her warm hospitality and amazing wine selection, it was an incredible night to remember.“

“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.“

“great food and service nice spot“

“Did the cocktail mixing class. Great food and awesome experience!“

“Sidamo Coffee and Tea in West Hollywood is a true gem! The cozy atmosphere and friendly staff make it the perfect spot to enjoy a cup of coffee or tea. Their selection of beverages is extensive and always delicious, and they also offer tasty pastries to accompany your drink. It's become my go-to place for a relaxing and enjoyable break in the city. Highly recommended!Parking: It depends at what time you visit this place.“

“The pink exterior of this building is unmissable; it seems to have become a must-visit brunch spot for those living in Georgetown. While we may have forgotten what we ordered, one thing not to be missed is their "spicy honey" - it elevates the taste of the bagel to a whole new level. Seating is limited, so it's first come, first served!“

“I'm from Texas and have been dying to find a breakfast taco spot. I might as well have been in my mom's kitchen, eating tacos on a Sunday morning. that's how amazing La Tejana tacos are!“

“Had some fabulous bakery goods and painted the al fresco dining space out front. Enjoyable time!“

“Nice place if you want cupcakes that aren't overly sweet. I have heard a lot of good things about this place. I'm not quite sure if it's overhyped or just right. It's a nice place if you're in the area but I'm not sure I'd go out of my way to come back for more. The cupcakes are good but not that special.“

“Great find and the perfect coffee spot for the hard to please, indiscriminant coffee lovers out there in the DMV! I stumbled on this place while riding past the Union Market neighborhood the other day, badly in need of coffee. And, so glad I did. I was completely impressed with the coffee products sold here at Unido. Also, I'd argue this is probably the best place in DC for coffee, if you're into single-source and specialty coffee brews. As a first timer, I was greeted by a Barista named Louis. This guy really knew his coffee and explained the concept of the coffee products in the store. During this time, I learned that the source of the coffee products sold were from Panama in which to be frank, I had no clue that Panama even had a global coffee presence. So out of curiosity, I was interested in trying their coffee to compare my thoughts of what they had to offer to other DC coffee 'Likes' around the city such as Sidamo, Blue Bottle Coffee, Kaldi's, Compass Coffee, La Colombe, Starbucks, and even Dunkin'! Yeah, I know....doesn't take much to outperform the latter....lol. At any rate, this place won me over. I was blown away by the flavor and taste of Unido and their Panamanian coffee. In the store, I tried a Geisha Pourover. The attention to detail, the presentation of the coffee, the ceramic cup all added to a great cup of coffee and ultimately my coffee pleasure. And the coffee itself, was delicious and perfectly brewed with a flavor profile that was nutty and chocolate. I like my coffee black and this one was perfect. I also tried an Iced Americano, at the recommendation of the Barista "to-go." The iced coffee was so rich, smooth, and full of an earthy --lite caramel flavor; which speaks to the care and quality of the beans that goes into making a cup. He added a shot of Ghirardelli dark chocolate that took this cup to the next level. In all, a great find. The vibe and atmosphere is chill and relaxing. Louis, the staff member there was knowledgeable and friendly, offering great suggestions for drinks to try. If you haven't been, I would recommend Unido....it's certainly worth a stop when in the Union Market neighborhood!“

“Best coffee shop! Coffee is awesome and the food is really good, too. The owners/staff couldn’t be nicer. Highly recommend“

“Delicious and super staff!“

“I visited the West End location with my husband while visiting DC and had a phenomenal experience. Aside from the food being absolutely to die for, the customer service is really what impressed me. At the register, we were greeted by an older black woman who was so kind to share suggestions and explain the menu to me despite being very busy. It truly made the ordering experience a breeze. My latte was delivered by a younger light skinned black male and I am not sure where he received his customer service training by but by far he’s got it down pat. After delivering my order he told me, “have a nice day, okay?” but it wasn’t just a pleasantry, it truly seemed like a genuine request. I am beyond impressed with the food, ambiance, and customer service provided!“

“Heard great things about this place, And was blown away by the breakfast sandwiches we got!! Absolute total game changers!. Both were hot fresh and delicious!. And the coffee was great too. It’s a busy place, So don’t be surprised to see a line out the door. But the staff dona great job and the line movies quickly. This location is attached to a hotel, So they have some seating inside and a small patio for outdoor dining.“

“This is such a cute shop. Wish we stopped by sooner.“

“This was above average Italian! I had the lemon, spinach and ricotta ravioli and it was delicious. The pasta was clearly homemade and cooked well and the sauce had a delicate lemon flavor and was creamy with a great texture. The ricotta was also smooth and there was lots of it!I would love to come back here and try other items on the menu!“

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

“Stumbled upon Crumbs & Whiskers by pure chance as my husband and I were exploring Georgetown. We were intrigued and stopped as soon as we saw all the kitties running and playing around. We're out on vacation, so I'm missing our very own kitty waiting for us at home. I absolutely fell in love with this place! I love the fact that you get to interact with all the cats, get to know their personalities, and they get to go a good home You even get a Polaroid with one of the cats! Would definitely stop by again!“

“Super cute cafe vibes. Snag the outdoor seating near the sidewalk when the weather is nice. I got the quiche (ham and cheese) and it fills you up quickly. Make a reservation if you intend to go during the weekend. Take a walk around the wharf after brunch.“

“It's the happiest place! Adorable cats, cheese, wine- a recipe for success.“

“Favorite local coffee spot. Great staff! Great coffee!“

“I had avoided this place, just 2 minutes walk from my house, for the longest time. First I thought it was a junkfood type coffee and sandwich place. Then when I realised it wasn't fully that, I still thought the name was totally dumb. I did know that I can't keep avoiding it forever, thus, a few months after my friendly neighbourhood convenience store owner heavily talked it up, I went. It is an Ethjiopian-owned spot that caters to the typical coffee shop crowd. They have a mix of normal fare, and some lowbrow version of fusion Ethiopian dishes. I had their altered variant of chechebsa. It wasn't bad as long as I didn't think of it as chechebsa. The place is tiny and quite cosy. I know I'll go back.“

“Great Ethiopic menu! Lovely coffee cups.“

“Great Ice Cream ((I had chocolate-hazelnut). Great coffee too. And great service too by the Manager, Shaleeda (please excuse spelling)“

“Fairfax Dr. that ends in its black has about 100 or more metered parking spaces and more than 50% was vacant on Saturday at 9:00am. Bottled/canned drinks available. Small iced coffee took less than 1 minute to be ready. I was able to enjoy my own music with open ear headset but I had to walk outside when I received a call because the caller couldn't hear me well.“

“Amazing coffee - they use Swing's coffee, which is one of our favorites! We didn't realize it was inside a hostel but that's what makes this coffee shop so unique. The barista was very sweet and the atmosphere is very light and fun!“

“10/10.Very cozy place. You have to queue because it is always full. But I'm not surprised, since the food they make is incredible.The sandwiches left me speechless, to say they were good is a huge understatement.The hot chocolate they serve was also delicious. Ideal to warm up on cold days.I would definitely return to Washington just to have breakfast here.Great!!“

“Everyone who loves high quality coffee loves this place. I’m not even a coffee drinker, and I get their coffee because it’s so good. I LOVE the grilled chicken pesto panini sandwich, and it always hits the spot. When I have out of town visitors, this is a spot I can take them that never disappoints. Everyone leaves here happy.A few weeks ago after a workout class I heard a woman talking with another woman about getting some coffee. They were trying to find a new coffee place to go to after the class ended, and one suggested Lot 38 because her friend hadn’t been there yet. After mentioning Lot 38, three other women, who were not even in the conversation, overheard and jumped in to rave about how good Lot 38 is! I think this single interaction really demonstrates how loved this place is.“

“Rue Cafe in West Hollywood is a charming little spot that has quickly become a favorite of mine. The cozy atmosphere and friendly staff make it the perfect place to unwind with a cup of coffee or enjoy a delicious meal. Their menu offers a variety of options, from tasty sandwiches to mouthwatering pastries, all made with fresh and high-quality ingredients. Whether I'm grabbing a quick bite or settling in for a leisurely brunch, Rue Cafe never disappoints. Highly recommend giving it a try if you're in the area!Parking: It depends at what time you visit this place.“

“Amazing food! Great server and wait staff. Creative and unique. Would go again!“

“This is a really sweet cafe with delicious pastries and a full menu of Armenian food. The space itself is really inviting and comfortable and the staff are friendly. I highly recommend the Mountain Tea which is made with thyme and is really unique. I always stop in for one when I'm walking by!“

“Tried for the first time and was blown away. So good.“

“A Great place for coffee, beverage with some nice food options. They have a good breakfast menu including a few pastries to choose from. The happy hour menu is very reasonable. I loved to avocado & black bean toast either mesclun salad, cojito cheese and two poached eggs. The service is always good.“

“Raveberry hisbiscus rose with brown sugar boba - it is default with oat milk! Who doesn't love that! The flavor itself was somewhat bitter but elevated with brown sugar boba to make the drinking experience balanced on bitterness and sweetness. I enjoyed the drink on a sunny day as it was a refreshing hydration choice. Service was quick as it seems like it was a long line to the cashier to order. It wasn't so bad and they were very attentive to details on size, add on, type of milk and which flavors. The vibe around the cafe was nice, there's some outdoor seatings. I opted for that seating as it was nice outside as it's crept out of winter season. I'd come back for boba and milk tea with oat milk. Again I'm loving the oat milk as default when ordering!“

“I have a few favorite ice cream spots in the DC area, and Dolcezza is definitely one of them. The only downside is that the last couple of times I went, they were out of pistachio - my absolute favorite flavor! Nevertheless, their ice cream is always creamy and bursting with flavor. This time, I got black sesame, banana, and dark chocolate - still delicious, but hoping for pistachio next time!“

“Chocolate pistachio croissant - 5 stars. so good and will be returning for this. Any place that has pistachio pastries is a place for me. Morning bun - very flavorful (cardamom & lemon) but a bit too dry for me. 3 stars Espresso & tonic - I did not like this at all, and will definitely get a safer drink option next time. There was a line at 130pm which I was surprised about, but it moved very quickly and we had no trouble finding a seat. Cute place, will be returning!“

“Great coffee and staff! Highly recommended!“

“I like this fast causal style and the atmosphere of this restaurant. Service was quick and friendly. Food and drinks were delicious. I definitely want to go again!Update 3/25/24: I ordered shrimp mofongo and emapanadas for delivery and it was fresh, flavorful and hot!“

“Held my Monday meet up for my campaign for State Senate here this morning Such a beautiful venue adorned with sunflowers hanging from the ceiling! Their Nitro Cold Brew is great! Even the pup tried to take a sip ☺️ Visit www.Sophia4VA.com for our next coffee gathering!“

“I just discovered this place and I just love it! Amazing, healthy food options, nice selection of wines, vegan friendly options, and an amazing decor set up inside. They even have a really well rounded grocery section. Cheryl is so sweet! My first time around she was so kind and patient in answering my questions. That sort of kindness goes a long way. Definitely a new favorite - I'll be coming here for lunch breaks from now on!“

“Prices are good, coffee drinks are delicious and service was friendly and efficient. Plenty of seating, both in the front room and the back. Looked like some outdoor seating as well. If you're a tea drinker, you'll be in tea heaven. So many options!!!“

“The menu had too many good options and I wish I could come here all the time to get through the entire menu. During this trip, we tried the ube milk and the mango yuzu black tea. Both with boba of course. The ube milk was made with real ube so it was starchy like a potato, thick like a watered down milk shake, and really delicious. It wasn't sweet to me, it felt like a dessert vs a drink. The real winner was the mango yuzu black tea. It was also made with real mango fruit puree and tasted like a mango fruit leather. Bursting with flavor from the mango and had a zing from the yuzu, it was the perfect drink for the warmer weather outside. The boba was also so soft and chewy. This was a true boba place. And it was literally ran by one guy. If I lived in DC, this would be my go to boba drink place for sure.“

“It's been awhile since I used to run U Street and I came looking for the old Starbucks but it was nowhere to be found. I did find Cafe U and I just love this little spot. It's so cute, the Lox is my favorite thing, and the service is great. RIP Starbucks but I'm loving Cafe U.“
