50 Best Coffee Shops near Marlow Heights

“William gave me exceptional service when I stopped in for coffee yesterday. He greeted me cheerfully, offered to help me order at a kiosk, and did the same for others while I waited for my order. He really impressed me as I can’t remember ever receiving that level of service at a McDonald’s. Also, my coffee was made exactly how I ordered it.“

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

“The food here was incredible and the ambiance is very nice! There is a nice variety of beverages, especially cold ones for the summer time. The staff were super friendly, especially Enrique, who came to chat with us. Although they weren’t doing seating service, the food arrived at our table very fast.“

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

“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!!“

“Cute place right in the heart of DC! Tried the cheese and onion empanadas and they were so delicious. Pastries looked yummy, and my oat milk cappuccino was really good. Highly recommend for a quick coffee to-go or snack if you're in the area!“

“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.“

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

“My husband and I had the most wonderful experience! Not only was the tea, coffee, and food incredible but the readings are surprisingly therapeutic. My husband and I had the most incredible date at this shop ❤️“

“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!“

“Spark Social House DC is the hottest new hangout spot in DC! Thank you for providing a safe environment for everyone! 🫶🏻“

“food was made fresh and delicious and very filling. Staff is very friendly. Outside tables and shade. It was right next to our hotel, which was a zoo for breakfast became here as it last resort. All three of my kids loved the breakfast sandwich and the yogurt. I got an iced coffee with cardamom. very good. my only complaint is that it took a little while for the sandwich to be made, but it was made fresh.“

“I’ve been to SOST twice now and I’ll be making it my third this Friday without a doubt. I’ll tell you this was a top tier experience from beginning to end each time I’ve come, but this time particularly takes the cake. The ambiance is so unbelievably warm and vibey, the real standout has to be the music mix and the way it really transcends your dining experience truly. I was sitting in Michelle section and she was such a doll! I felt taken care of and catered to the whole time
I’ll be going back for brunch because I feel like that’s when the food really stands out but as far as I’m concerned, this dinner was 1 of 1.“

“The coffee is excellent, best in DC. The food quality is amazing, love the pastries.
The service is disappointing. No one is inadvertently rude, it takes so long to get food orders. Can’t go in the morning. Waited over 20 minutes for a little breakfast sandwich to-go.“

“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!“

“Great place to spend time or get some work done. The Wi-Fi is strong, there are outlets available to charge your devices, and the service is smooth. The food and drinks are great, there are plenty of bathrooms, and overall it’s an ideal spot to pass time and be productive.

If you want it, I can also make it sound more like a Google review, Yelp review, or more polished/professional.“

“The staff are super friendly and they serve food right on time. Food is fresh and sumptuous. Price is reasonable and place has a great simple and clean ambience. Definitely a must go. 💯💯💯“

“This is hands down the best coffee shop in DMV. Their coffee is excellent. I’d recommend their matcha, their Honey cinnamon latte, and their cold brew. Bring a friend, bring some work, bring your dog, this place is adaptable for everyone. The neighborhood really comes together here and it has become a place of community.“

“Fresh delicious and healthy! Friendly staff clean and welcoming atmosphere.“

“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.“

“Rarely opens on time at 7:30 . Try stop on way work. Still waiting. After ordering they had no bills and gave me 7.90 in change! The cashier had attitude because I made her give me my change and then she had the nerve to give me a Canadian quarter which I gave her right back. Unacceptable.“

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

“A surprisingly refreshing twist on a classic iced latte. The citrusy orange flavor paired well with the espresso, creating a smooth balance between bright and bold. Not overly sweet, with a creamy texture that made it easy to drink. The orange notes added a fresh summer feel without overpowering the coffee.“

“🥰Great breakfast 😍🤩“

“Delicious and super staff!“

“Café du Soleil offers a warm welcome and delicious basic French quiches, sandwiches, salads, pastries, and sweet/savory crepes in a relaxed atmosphere. The coffee is excellent and the wine selection offers something for every palate. Definitely worth a visit.“

“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“

“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 coffee and staff! Highly recommended!“

“We're visiting and I found the best coffee and hot chocolate for my kids! delicious!“

“Great space with lots of seating, kind staff who are happy to explain their roasting process and recommend a good roast for whatever latte you choose, and so many inventive and delicious latte flavors! I was skeptical the pistachio rose combo would actually work/taste good (I’ve had enough bad pistachio gelato to know it’s hard to get the taste right even in ice cream), but gave it a try and oh my god it’s the best flavored latte I’ve had in years! Thanks!“

“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!“

“Great coffee and staff! Highly recommended!“

“I enjoyed the most decorative meals full of nutrients and I would love to visit them ones again when I get less busy one day😊💕“

“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!“

“fun smaller shop off the main street. loved the quiet ambiance of it and the in and outs of the hostel guest staying in the building. The cafe has wifi with enough seats inside and out for enjoying a coffee. My flat white was well made and my family enjoying their hot chocolates. best part.... it's very very affordable, a good $1-2 cheaper than most places.“

“What a great little coffee/tea shop. Wonderful Baristas and a cute atmosphere. ⭐️ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“LOVE this little shop!! The drinks are SO delicious! Will definitely be a place we will be visiting again! The atmosphere is calming and the girls working were so sweet. Very cute and chic!“

“Quaint little family owned coffee shop with an attentive staff. Great coffee!“

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

“I don’t live in this part of town but always try and stop in when I’m in the area. Very friendly conversation, great bagel sandwiches and coffees. And top it all off it has great music, puzzles and a relaxing vibe. A special place to relax and slow down.“

“Go. Now. If it’s closed, just wait outside til it opens and thank me later. I CANNOT recommend them higher. The food was absolutely phenomenal. Portion sizes that can feed 2-3 people. Ridiculously delicious food. Great prices… and most outstanding THE SERVICE! The lady running the place was quite simply one of the kindest sweetest souls you’ll ever meet, took care of us like we were part of the family and honestly was just incredible.“

“Great place if you’re looking to have a brunch in a live atmosphere. The food is amazing. We tried their chicken sandwich and Nutella brownie. Coffee is also very good . They are extremely clean and attentive to details. Service is quick. We came for two consecutive days and are definitely coming back.“

“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!“

“This is my favorite neighborhood café - I have never been disappointed by a visit. The staff are very welcoming and their coffees/lattes are great. The kouign amann is my favorite item (I’ve been missing it recently), but all of their pastries are delicious and baked on site. I appreciate their efforts to expand their gluten-free options as well!

The café only has a few tables and gets crowded on the weekends, but is well worth a visit.“

“great staff! delicious coffee!“

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

“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!“

“I have heard a lot of great things about this place, so my boyfriend and I decided to try it today. We ordered two unsweetened matcha lattes, one with whole milk and one with oat milk, to really taste the quality of the matcha. While waiting, I noticed they store their matcha in clear containers, which isn’t ideal since light exposure can cause oxidation and affect the flavor and color. On the plus side, they whisk each drink fresh to order. I also noticed the straws weren’t individually wrapped, so we chose to sip through the lids instead. The oat milk version was really disappointing, the oat flavor completely overpowered the matcha, and it just tasted like green oat milk. They might want to consider an oat milk that pairs better. The whole milk version was better, it’s earthy and nutty with subtle umami notes, but not very creamy or sweet. It was slightly astringent and left a bit of dryness in my throat and mouth. Overall, we would rate their matcha 7/10. It’s not bad with whole milk, but there are definitely better matcha options out there.“

“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.“
