“Doi Moi is a Vietnamese fusion street food restaurant with a vibrant and modern interior design. It caters to people of all ages who love Vietnamese cuisine. The dishes served at the restaurant are incredibly delicious, and the drinks are equally impressive. Whether you're looking to share a meal with friends or to grab a drink after work, Doi Moi is the perfect spot.“
“Food was great. It was our second experience of Ethiopian food in DC during the Presidents day weekend. The staff made accommodations for our kid who does not tolerate spicy food. We ordered the Family Vegetarian Platter which was more than enough for two well-eating adults. Our kid loved the fish filet as well.“
“Tried out the Royal for date night. Cocktails are incredible. Unfortunately, we were on the exterior patio (not connected to the restaurant) so that + online ordering system almost made it feel like we weren’t really in the atmosphere. Food is well presented. Overall it was $150 for two rounds of drinks and 3 small plates, with very little interaction with service. Probably better bang for your buck at happy hour than a full on meal.“
“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.“
“The lemon cherry scone and piccolo were amazing! I really appreciate the effort to put milk foam art even on a tiny tiny to-go cup. The atmosphere is cozy and they have WiFi. If you can find a seat and don't mind background noise it would be a nice place to work.“
“Solid espresso from a Slayer espresso machine and the latte art is finally getting to a high level. Delicious light roasted beans - Ethiopian level but Panamanian?Lately there's been a short line all the time so I think the place has been discovered. La Cosecha market with dozens of tables so having 10 friends meet for coffee is trivial.Now we need the full Los Unidos menu!“
“I honored my reservation, identified myself and the time of the reservation at the front desk but the restaurant never checked me in and listed me as a no show. No one came to take our order. After 1/2 hour we flagged down a server (not our section) who said she would be happy to take our order and let our server know. We said ok just let our server know. Once she came snd took our order, food arrived quickly.“
“Amazing food from start to finish, amazing portions, great tea, and Coffee. We read the reviews as we where looking for a place to eat breakfast. The owner is amazing, the food is phenomenal, my family and I all agreed. My kids never agree on food, we were all in a food coma.“
“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.“

“I had heard of Call Your Mother when researching good bagel places in DC. The bagels are okay - they are definitely not the chewy New York style I am used to. The everything was a bit underwhelming, however the apple cinnamon had just the right amount of sweetness. The oat latte was actually quite good; it’s a really good cup of coffee with a huge range of bagel sandwiches.Vegetarian options: You can build your own bagel sandwich and add veggies if you have specific preferences.“
“This coffee shop is worth the hype! A quick walk from the Takoma Redline station makes this place easy to get to. The cafe does get very crowded but do not let that discourage you. I tried the Chai Tea Latte which was one of the best I have had since moving back to the region. I also tried the egg, cheddar, and sausage on a Crogel. I normally do not really eat sausage because of the taste. The sausage was fresh and tasted really good. I was very surprised by the delicious taste of the sausage and by how well all the flavors went together. I can't remember what latte my partner ordered but it was also really good. I definitely recommend this cafe!“
“Good variety of flavors with some traditional and some more innovative. Dark chocolate was very rich and the bitterness helped counteract the sweetness of the mascarpone. I really like the dark chocolate. The mascarpone and berries was quite sweet and reminded me of the jam flavor at Gracie's in Somerville, MA.“
“Super casual breakfast place- go up to the counter and order a comforting meal. Came in for breakfast and got the morning platter with French toast and bacon and a iced mocha coffee (which was good and and overly sweet!) Price point is fair and portions are filling. Leaving a picture of my toast. Sorry there is a missing slice.“
“Beautiful cafe! Feels like a cute little oasis with a lovely courtyard. Their baked goods and coffee are delicious and the hospitality / service is fantastic. Mar, Sylvia, and Manuel are so friendly and easy to talk to — feels like I’ve known them for years. This place feels like home ❤️“
“Beignets are delicious. Had my first trip to New Orleans this past summer with a great group of girlfriends and had my first beignet. Was wondering if I'd only be able to get them if I went to New Orleans, NOOOO, they are here, right here in Bowie at PJ's. Left church and stopped by, love these. I also got a chai latte, extra sweet, with some sweet cream added, yummy! Nice, quaint spot. A little tight on the counter space, to pick up your order, but overall, nothing bad to say. I love this spot.“
“Great food, super cute and chic ambiance, and easy, prompt service. The menu has all the classics of an upscale Italian restaurant and the flavors + portions don't disappoint! I had the Burrata, the mushroom pasta, and the broccolini - all were well prepared and delicious. The price point is certainly on the higher side but nonetheless it's a cute and cosy spot that I hope to be back to soon. Glad to have this option in the neighborhood!“
“We stopped here to get coffee and a sweet treat and ending up getting the orange blossom croissant and morning bun, which was so good! We also got some baklava for some friends and family, which came in these really cute yellow tin box- a perfect gift!“
“We like this charming place, our go-to spot for good coffee and freshly baked treats. The atmosphere is delightfully bright, with plenty of seating options. You'll be spoiled for choice with their delectable selection of baked goods and savory fare, all prepared well with care in their kitchen. The staff are good, always greeting you with a warm smile and eager to make your experience memorable. It's easy to see why this place is our favorite - it's simply the best!“
“Highly recommended, hot spot for coffee, breakfast, and gourmet baked morsels. Is fairly busy so can get a bit loud during peak times, but the delicious esspresso and bakery items makes it well worth the visit, plus ceiling to floor glass allows for plenty of light and scenery.“
“Such a hidden gem! I had their pecan latte, which has actual pecan pieces in the drink. So creative! Limited pastry options, they do have vegan options. The vibe is cozy and cute, would love to come back to try their dinners/food and alcoholic drinks.Street parking available.“
“Mixture Food Hall offers a variety of vegan foods, desserts, drinks, organic supplements, oils & herbs, play areas, arcade machines & including sport TV monitors, seating areas,180° bar area, upperstairs lounge space, 5 individual restrooms, parking space. The only downside was that baby strollers couldn't be rolled into from sidewalk & had to lift up the stairs. The art moral could be used for a photo background.Vegetarian options: They offered Musa's fried oyster mushroom sandwiches & a variety of sides; tacos qucidillas; bar beers & drinks; burgers; wings & salads. My son didn't like Musa food due to too salty fried oyster mushrooms & salty fries were overcooked. The wait staff was professional; followed food safety guidelines & customer service oriented.Parking: Small to mid-size cars & suvs use space but tight parking spaces.Kid-friendliness: They offered a play area including a table & 4 metal kid chairs with educational toys & games; a loga board game, arcade machine & shooting arcade game.“
“Local hotspot in the Logan Circle neighborhood. Open daily starting with breakfast at 8AM with dinner service ending at 9PM or 9:30PM (Fri and Sat), this place features full bar, indoor and outdoor seating as well as lounge space. The menu is a mix of items, most veterans telling me they have never been disappointed. I went with the brussel sprouts, which were OMG good with several foodies present and in agreement. I also did the chicken marsala, which was excellent with a lovely creamy sauce - very filling. For dessert, we did a peanut butter inspired cheesecake - amazing and an absolutely sinful chocolate brownie covered in ice cream. The guys took me here for my retirement send off, and it really could not have been better.“
“Title: A Presidential Treat - 5 Stars for Pitago Gelato!Review:I recently had the pleasure of indulging in the delectable delights at Pitago Gelato, conveniently located near the White House. It's no surprise that this charming ice cream store has become a favorite of none other than President Joe Bidem himself, and after my visit, I can wholeheartedly understand why.From the moment I stepped through the door, the inviting aroma of freshly made gelato greeted me. The ambiance was warm and welcoming, creating the perfect backdrop for a delightful ice cream experience. The staff at Pitago Gelato were not only friendly but also exceptionally knowledgeable about their extensive array of flavors.Speaking of flavors, Pitago Gelato boasts an impressive selection that caters to all taste buds. From classic favorites like creamy vanilla and rich chocolate to more adventurous options like salted caramel with pecans, there's something to satisfy every palate. I couldn't resist trying a scoop of President Biden's purported favorite – and it did not disappoint. The unique blend of flavors was a true testament to the craftsmanship of Pitago Gelato's culinary artisans.What truly sets this ice cream parlor apart is the commitment to using high-quality, fresh ingredients. Each spoonful felt like a burst of flavor, and the smooth, velvety texture of the gelato was absolutely divine. Whether you're a tourist exploring the nation's capital or a local resident, Pitago Gelato offers a sweet escape from the hustle and bustle of Washington D.C.The attention to detail at Pitago Gelato extends beyond the flavors; the presentation of each scoop is a work of art. The vibrant colors and enticing swirls are almost too beautiful to eat – almost. I found myself savoring every bite, appreciating the effort that goes into creating such an exceptional frozen treat.In conclusion, Pitago Gelato deserves every bit of its 5-star rating. It's not just an ice cream store; it's an experience. If it's good enough for President Joe Biden, it's certainly good enough for me. Whether you're a gelato connoisseur or just someone with a sweet tooth, make sure to pay a visit to Pitago Gelato near the White House – your taste buds will thank you!“
“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.“
“This place is busy so I recommend making a reservation.The food was great and our server Jasmine was thorough with helping me as a first timer. The pastries were delicious. She said they change them every week, compliments to the chef for being able to come up with so many great ideas. The citrus milk punch was interesting and worked well. Spinach omelette was good but it definitely lacked meat, glad that my server recommended getting bacon on the side. I can’t wait to try them for dinner.“
“Büna has quickly become one of my favorite cafes of all time. The people who work there are so kind and remember your name and order and work to make your experience enjoyable and catered to you specifically. The food (both Ethiopian and American) is absolutely fantastic. Everything I’ve had has been a slam dunk. I am not someone who orders takeout almost ever and I’ve made an exception for this cafe. I keep coming back for the Ethiopian vegan rolls, fir fir side dish and brunch platter! Wish I could take this place everywhere I go!“
“Customer service is Amazing and the coffee is even better!!! Your missing out if you do not experience this place. One of my favorites!!!!! I live in Upper Marlboro and drive 25-30 minutes to enjoy their Machiato Caramello latte! ?Parking: Meter parkingUsually there is available parking“
“I'm from out of town and found Little Food Studio through a recommendation from a friend. I ordered a Bianca (ham and cheese) with the spicy spread and a cherry blossom lemonade, both of which were VERY delicious. While waiting for the food to be made there were many other customers who came in. I completely understand why this place is rated to highly. Cheap prices, great food, and friendly staff.“
“This cafe is one of those that opened during or after Covid. It's an Eritrean outfit. Their disposable cups were so lovely that I didn't dispose mine and took it home, rinsed it, and am keeping it. :-) It's expensive though. But then again, everything is expensive now in DC. 'Tis inflation time. The décor is Ethiopian/Eritrean, but not oppressively so. It's a wide open space, not cosy / claustrophobic like Harrer (another Ethio coffee shop).“
“They cashier is nice the ambiance is great with incense that levitates the room. The barista actually knows how to steam the milk and pull wonderful shots. Support small businesses like this. There is wifi and music playing in the background. Try the Fatira with everything (vegetarian friendly)“
“Just around the corner from Jam Doung Style Jamaican food spot is an art and coffee lover's dream that is Creative Grounds DC. This shop is nestled among the historical row houses that make this area of DC quaint and beautiful. Accessibility is accommodating with a ramp just beyond the spacious patio.Inside, plants stand and hang in the bay window where you can drink coffee and draw snuggled on a velvet green couch. New and used books stand in the other bay window while local artists' works hang on the gallery-like walls all around.Inspiration lay on the beautiful long and wide wooden table in the form of thick art books and viney plants enticing you to stay a while and absorb culture and color. While Bob Marley sang about three little birds, I happily pulled out my small sketchbook drawing and sipped on a special lavender and honey with lemon drink, at peace.Should you be a lover of art, DC's unique architecture, and coffee, this is one gorgeous place to visit!Wheelchair accessibility: A ramp is available to accommodate walkers and wheelchairs.“
“Lovely little spot with wonderful selection. When you walk in you can smell the freshly baked goods as everything is made here in house. For this trip, I arrived just in time for Pain Suisse ! Imagine flaky layers that crunch when you bite into the Pastry.Wanted to try their pistachio croissant for awhile and today was the day. It does not disappoint... Good balance of pistachio paste and buttery croissant dough.Their cortado is perfectly balance milk-coffee ratio as well!!“
“Went here with vegan friends and we all had the vegetarian sampler. The food was absolutely scrumptious. The staff were gracious and lovely and the atmosphere was very pleasant with really nice music playing. I highly recommend this restaurant! We'll definitely be coming back!“
“So delicious! The pork belly in the mofongo was crispy and juicy. The flan was out of this world, and we were given a couple guava cookies which were soooo good! Our food was also brought out very quickly. Can’t wait to come back!Vegetarian options: Vegetarian mofongo available“
“One of the best coffee shops I've ever been to. Cozy, neighborhood vibe. Great music (they were playing soft jazz and some tasteful Christmas music around Christmastime which was really vibey). The shot of single-origin espresso I had was lovely. Their vanilla syrup for lattes is also some of the best I've had. Fire ham and cheese croissants too. Non-pretentious staff.“
“Oh my gosh, I just decided to come here on a random day to do work and the staff are amazing. They are so attentive but not in an uncomfortable way and it's really such a nice experience. I have never enjoyed working at a cafe as much as I have enjoyed working at this one today! AMAZING STAFF!!! oh and the drinks are great too :)“
“A great place to telework and spend the day. You can order from any of the restaurants at the table’s QR code, and the staff brings it to your table. Also, love that everything is through your phone. They provide free Wi-Fi, I’m only leaving 4 stars because you get 0 service and parking can be a hassle.“
“Absolutely delicious and I didn’t even get to try their coffee but I will be back. But please if you go there try the pound cake. It’s to die for… like why is it so good how was this pound cake created so perfectly. And it’s not too sweet “
“I ordered two cake slices and a Swiss roll to bring to a dinner and they were all delicious! The cake and frosting are not too sweet, and the fruit flavors taste like fresh fruit. The packaging is cute and makes each cake slice look like a gift. The store has lots of Japanese treats as well as the baked goods, and I will be returning to try more things.“
“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.“
“Couldn’t be happier to have this as my neighborhood coffee shop. Lovely staff, consistently delicious coffee—both brewed and espresso-based, and a warm but elevated interior. The fact that it’s tucked away in the alley makes it feel even more like a hidden gem.“
“Claudia and her team over at the Logan store are amazing! My partner and I come here specifically to this one after we leave the gym because the folks are so personable and kind and they know what we before we even ask! They go above and beyond to make sure we have what we need to fuel back up after a hard workout session. It also is amazing to walk in and see tu familia and people that look like you. Thank you Claudia, yall are the best!“
“Coffee was excellent but what sold it for me was the service. They made sure my coffee was exactly what wanted: sweetness, enough milk, etc. I was a to go order and the gentleman working the front was still very attentive. I will be returning :)“

“After sampling half of their menu over the last year, I can finally say that Spot of Tea has officially solidified its spot as my go-to boba spot in DC. This humble little stall tucked in the back of Union Market has it all -- a delicious and perfectly crafted menu, friendly and efficient service, and simple yet adorable decor that creates a calming space in the middle of Union Market's bustle.They have a great selection of teas that includes both classic favorites like Thai tea or your basic milk tea, but also a smattering of exciting new flavors / seasonal specials like mango hibiscus or calamansi ginger. If you're anything like me and struggle to make even the most basic of decisions, their menu also features decision guides, listing out caffeine levels, flavor profiles, and a one-line "why you should pick this drink" for quickly comparing between different options.Regardless of which drink you choose, Spot of Tea is sure to satisfy any craving, whether it's for something rich and milky, fruity and refreshing, or just straight-up caffeine. It'll also include some of DC's best boba pearls, with the perfect chewy, QQ texture (or lychee jelly if you'd prefer). I also love that they default to using oat milk for all their drinks at no extra charge, although you can request a switch to dairy milk if you'd prefer.While it's hard to pick a favorite from their phenomenal menu, a few stand-outs are:- Mango Hibiscus (great for cooling down on a hot summer day)- Mango Yuzu Black Tea (great for cooling down on a hot summer day...but also with caffeine)- Hot Black Sesame Latte (who needs hot chocolate when you can have a rich, piping hot cup of black sesame latte / milk?)In addition to their teas, they also create a delicious oat milk soft serve. You can either get matcha, black sesame, or a swirl of the two flavors -- my personal preference is always the swirl, but both flavors are great on their own as well. You would never guess its dairy-free from how rich and creamy it is, and their ice cream is the perfect level of sweetness, with the slightly bitter matcha and nutty sesame seeds breaking through the sugar.All in all, I truly can't recommend Spot of Tea enough -- absolutely swing by to give their teas and soft serve a shot!“
“Another local gem for getting coffee and pastries. Vigilante Coffee (Hyattsville) is spacious but cozy and full of energy by the friendly staff, baristas, managers, and customers. I visited this past Sunday, St. Patrick's Day and the place had a beautiful Celtic atmosphere with live music by Abbie Palmer and Agi Kovacs. They were wonderful and so friendly and personable.I had a delicious oat milk Flat White with a Honey Pistachio Kouign Amann pastry.“
“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.“
“I was looking for a place to have a coffee, sit outside, and do some work. I couldn't have found a better place. The cappuccino was delicious. So much so, that I ordered a 2nd one. I saw others eating waffles with fresh berries. Anyone in or passing through Hagerstown must stop at this awesome coffee shop.“
“I’ve tried them all. Elle, the Den, Emissary, Tatte, Buna, 1990s cappuccinos at the Willard. Gotta hand it to the Den at #2, also an excellent experience. But Doubles is #1.Best coffee in DC when they get it right. Get a latte “for here” in one of their thick ceramic mugs and sit out in the warm Spring air on their covered patio. What a way to spend a Sunday.“
“My favorite thing about this location is the cute outdoor seating area (shaded and perfect for a nice day) and the walk-up window, so i was able to grab and go while walking my dog. Service was very quick and the staff was friendly. Call Your Mother has a few vegetarian options (my favorite is Mountain View with latke inside) as well as a gluten free bagel option (yuca for +$2.50). You can try all their unique bagels such as zaatar and cream cheese such as apple pie and cheez-it. I dont think they have indoor seating.“
“Its a long time went to Mcd, the timing was bang withing 4 minute i was out withvthe food.Parking: Yhe yore jas its own parking but right in front there lots of spaces to park.Wheelchair accessibility: Yes wheelchair accessibility is great.“
