50 Best Coffee Shops near Joint Base Andrews

“Everything went well. I got the honey almond flat. I never had a ristretto before and wanted to try it. It was delicious. I asked for 3 pumps of syrup instead of four and it was just right. This Starbucks is in a hospital so it's small.“

“I always enjoy going to the Starbucks location in the clinic on Joint Base Andrews. The team there is very welcoming and kind. I tried the new pistachio cold brew and it was delicious. Thank you for good coffee and a pleasant experience every time! :-)“

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

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

“Great place. Wish they would open a 2nd place at Liberty Exchange in Sykesville - 2 units still open for a nice coffee place (that isn’t Starbucks!) one is right next to Basta Pasta!!“

“I love this place! It’s always very clean and the owners are so nice! I go on such a regular basis that they already know my drink and greet me daily with a smile. The food is also good. Now THAT’S really what makes this place better than Gregory’s or Compass…their customer service.“

“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!“

“I had the pleasure of having my first coffee of the day at this wonderful establishment. I was greeted with a warm smile by Besu and Kar and I asked them for some recommendations for top-notch Ethiopian coffee. I had a phenomenal cinnamon nutmeg cold brew and I enjoyed it while sitting out in the front patio. I highly recommend Warka Coffee shop. It was also not overpriced like other places which will remain unnamed :-) when you are on or near New Jersey Avenue in Washington DC make sure to stop off here and enjoy!“

“Had a delightful lunch today at the 41st St location. Everything was delicious and beautifully presented. The dressing on the greens that comes with the sandwiches was to die for! Atmosphere was quaint and inviting. Staff was exceptionally attentive and polite even though it was busy! We can’t wait to go back!“

“I went during the late afternoon. Parking was ok. I was able to find street parking. I walked in as a first time customer and was greeting with a warm welcome. The staff talked to me about the different areas of the restaurant and upcoming events. I was waited on almost immediately. My drink came first; which was really good and priced well. I ordered wings and salad. Everything came out hot and tasted really good. The vibes during this time I day was chill with good music. I was told they have DJs later on in the evening. Overall I had a great experience. I would definitely go again.“

“Great food! The only complaint I have is the laptop policy which prevents this from being a place to get work done especially over the weekend. However that’s subjective and I can understand some of the reasoning. The food is outstanding“

“great food and service nice spot“

“We had a very nice meal at Du Jour (Waterfront) this time, as well as on previous visits. My only concern/complaint is that the restaurant provides no way to specify "Inside" or "Outside" for a reservation. Part of why I'd made a reservation was to secure a table indoors, because early September can be very warm on the patio, as it was last night. When we arrived we were told it would be nearly an hour wait for an indoor table. I knew this location has only a small number of tables inside, so didn't need to have that explained by the host. I just think it would be reasonable to be able to select Indoor or Outdoor for the reservation, or OpenTable should make clear that any reservation may be (will probably be) outside. And then users can make educated decisions. We ended up having a very nice meal; food was excellent, service was very good (when our probably-new server was unsure about a drink order, another server stepped in to clarify which was very nice), and we eventually cooled off.“

“This is absolutely one of my favorite places to go! The Roost was my go to during the pandemic with tons of outdoor seating. Since it was in my neighborhood we frequented a lot. The staff watched my little one practically grow up there! It became our meeting place and neighborhood watering hole. Quick and efficient and some of the best food and customer service! We’ve moved from the area but always stop by when in town because it feels like home!“

“Great place to get a coffee, great people working here and wide selection of deli/bakery items. Also right across the street from Lincoln Park, this place has been a staple for our house“

“It’s definitely an immersive music experience with great coffee, juice and bagel sandwiches. Yes on the turkey bacon question. Not much seating- window booth for 2, 2 tables for 3, and a bar on the wall of 4 chairs. The host gentleman was not very friendly, but business like, brisk and polite. They also have some bakery cake specialties but nothing in the pastry category. Enjoy!“

“Lovely experience early in the morning. I only ordered an espresso and enjoyed it outside.
Very quiet area in the mornings and great views on the streets to enjoy an espresso. The lady was very knowledgeable on the espressos as well. I appreciate that.“

“Finally, a delicious and reasonably priced cafe has arrived in Shaw! The staff is INCREDIBLY kind (and dog friendly), the pastries and sandwiches are excellent, and if you’re in a rush but need a good coffee, you can get in and out within 5 mins. I highly recommend Cafe Joy!!!“

“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.“

“Such a great atmosphere, bites and drinks! 🙌🏽🙌🏽“

“✨ Black Girl Magic Approved! ✨

I visited CIVIC. on Eighth with my aunt for drinks before dinner to celebrate her birthday, and we had such a wonderful experience! 🥂💕

From the beautiful atmosphere to the positive energy, this place is truly a vibe. We had the pleasure of meeting the owner, Rhonda, who was so personable, welcoming, and absolutely amazing. Her energy was infectious, and she made us feel right at home. You can genuinely feel the love and intention behind the space, and she definitely encouraged us to make a return visit — which we absolutely will!

Our bartender, Amanda, was equally wonderful. She was attentive, friendly, and had such a great attitude throughout our visit.

I especially love seeing a space that celebrates culture, community, women, and Black excellence while creating an environment where everyone can come together, enjoy themselves, and feel welcomed.

CIVIC. is giving good energy, beautiful vibes, great people, and a space worth experiencing. 💫

If you're visiting DC, definitely put CIVIC. on your list — whether it's for drinks with the girls, a birthday celebration, a date, or just a little self-care moment.

Rhonda and Amanda, thank you for helping make my aunt's birthday celebration extra special! ❤🥂 We’ll definitely be back!“

“I stopped by Pitango for dessert, and it definitely hit the spot! 😋 I tried two flavors: Stracciatella (vanilla with chocolate chips) and Fondente (dark chocolate). I don't usually eat gelato, so I was pleasantly surprised by the creaminess. The service was excellent; I wasn’t sure what to choose, but the cashier helped me by offering samples and sharing details about each flavor I tried. One of the chocolate flavors I sampled was incredibly rich and chocolatey—it's water-based and vegan-friendly, which was a first for me! The restaurant was nice, clean, and had indoor seating that could accommodate several people, but I decided to take my treat to go.“

“Very good coffee. Excellent atmosphere. Friendly staff.“

“This location is within walking distance to City Center. Open atmosphere surrounded by plenty of windows and tall windows. The service was great as well as the breakfast food. Plenty of food options are available. Wife had the coffee and she loved it.“

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

“The best coffee in Washington, DC! The staff is professional, friendly, and provides excellent service. I always enjoy coming here—the atmosphere is welcoming, and the experience is consistently outstanding. I love this place and highly recommend it!“

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

“The gelato I had was absolutely delicious! While it wasn't as creamy as Pitango's, I really enjoyed the variety of flavors they offered. I ordered a three-flavor cup and chose Black and White Cookie Batter, Dark Chocolate Fudge, and Dulce de Leche Chip. Each flavor was delightful! The restaurant was quite busy, which was a good sign considering its prime location near shopping stores and not far from Chinatown. There was plenty of seating available for customers to sit and savor their treats or coffee. Despite the crowd, the cashiers did an excellent job attending to everyone and even offered samples.“

“So glad that we now have a Cafe in Downtown Anacostia to meet up with community members in a open awesome space. Staff is super friendly, supportive and helpful. While there get you a large Matcha Tea latte to boost your thoughts and energy level!“

“Truly the best coffee experience I’ve ever had. Elena and Maya made the whole thing so lovely! Firstly, the entire atmosphere is warm and inviting. When I wanted to adjust a seasonal drink, Elena was thoughtful and kind in making it work for me, asking questions to make sure we were on the same page. After Elena got my syrups started, Maya made my drink and even made sure to tell me the flavor was on the bottom and provided a spoon for mixing. Their conversational questions were kind, not prying. Not to mention the coffee was PERFECT. What a way to turn around a rough day!“

“Exactly what I was looking for my remote work day. I got a little table in the corner with a plug and the london fog and pastries were excellent. Even with the high ceilings the space was not excessively loud where I was sitting, and there are both cubbies for focused work and larger tables and larger parties.“

“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“

“Great coffee, good ambience and nice people :)“

“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.“

“Very nice place for coffee, snacks, sandwiches, pastry.
They close early (at 3pm) every day.
Nice patio with about 10 chairs.
Good place for business meetings or to hang out with your friends.
Not many places like this if any in that area!“

“Jaliyaa serves absolute top tier matcha 😋😋 I recommend the desert chai and if you like something sweeter get strawberry matcha! The truck is usually in the Howard area during the school year but in the summer they have a cutesy pop up in dupont circle“

“Amazingly delicious!! They’re super quick as well. Best mofongo I’ve had in a long while.“

“love it there. So much to do and eat. Palette22 drew me there, and I found a great entertainment distinct full of fun times. I plein air painted Morse Alley. Cool spot.“

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

“Visited the first sign language no speaking Starbucks .. how about it was one of the most well run Starbucks I’ve been in from Michigan to California.. and all stops in between . DC did it! What an experience“

“Great bagels and staff. Having lived in Philly and NY, I came to DC with a high standard for bagels. Call Your Mother is the truth.“

“Avocado, egg, and cheese sandwich is so freaking good. Got an iced caramel latte with strong coffee flavor and perfect balance of caramel. Super friendly service and there's a cute little area with products from local artists and businesses.“

“I’ve only been to Smoothieville twice so far, but both experiences have been great. The staff is incredibly friendly, welcoming, and helpful when it comes to recommending new things to try. I absolutely love the banana pudding smoothie and the curry chicken patty — both were delicious. Having a healthy food option this close to home is a huge plus, and I’ll definitely be coming back.“

“Drove from Mitchellville, MD for a Gingerbread latte because none of Starbucks near me still have the syrup.“

“This was the best coffee we had in DC. The drip coffee was solid, the vanilla latte and mocha were also excellent. Great staff and the owner was very nice. Best coffee in DC!“

“Fantastic experience! The food is absolutely delicious, the coffee is easily the best in Washington, and the space is beautiful and incredibly welcoming. Everything feels fresh, high quality, and thoughtfully prepared. I can’t wait to come back! Highly recommend this place.“

“This is a great cafe! It is very affordable and the fare is really good-- simple ingredients, very thoughtfully combined. For example, you can get an avocado toast for $6.50 that tastes very homely, fresh and natural. Similarly, the chicken pesto bagel is great. The bread is always toasted to a perfect extent. The waitstaff is also very nice, Diego in particular. There is also a high bar with 8 seats facing the window which is wonderful to work at because you get a lot of natural light and a view of the street-- at least one of these seats is usually available for working.“

“Artsy cafe, modern but warm. I enjoyed the blueberry earl grey scone even though I normally despise blueberry baked anything - the blueberries were juicy and a little tart, and the scone itself wasn’t too sweet and had a lovely buttery crust. Coffee is pretty solid as well, pleasant roast with berry notes.“

“Awesome pastries, bread and other baked goods. Very creative seasonal menu that uses fruit and veggies at the peak of their flavor. Love love love it!“

“I was in a training near the 15th Street location of Zeke’s. Found it the first morning and went back every day. Shared my experience with others and we all loved it. A local was amazed at her coffee and will be a regular now. The employees were so kind and remembered my order every single day. Best dirty chai I’ve ever had! Quality coffee. Friendly employees. Great prices.“
