Coffee Shops near Morningside

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

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

“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.“

“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“

“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.“

“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“

“This bakery, located in D.C, has a fabulous atmosphere and some superb treats! Their coffee and hot cocoa is chef’s kiss. Love this place. ❤️“

“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.“

“Delicious and super staff!“

“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.“

“This is a cute little place with unique gelato flavors. We waited on a short line about 5 minutes. The staff is big and extremely agile. I was able to sample some flavors before deciding on hazelnut crackle and bananas foster. You can have two flavors in one cup. This is some of the best gelato I've had to be honest. It's just very expensive. My tiny maybe 6 ounce cup was almost $9. It's not something I would eat often at that price but a nice occasional treat.“

“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.“

“Stopped by for beignets, coffee and a breakfast sandwich. Everything was delicious, fresh and hot. Fast service.“

“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!!“

“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!“

“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!“

“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!“

“Great coffee and staff! Highly recommended!“

“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!“

“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!“

“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.“

“This was my first time really visiting dc, found this nice restaurant and i tried their chicken Marsala with mushrooms the sauce was a little to strong for me at first so I decided to eat it latter took out the fridge and into the microwave and it tasted much better than before. Also, I ordered their fig & goat cheese pizza I give it a 7/10 the pizza was delicious however there was too much cheese and the pizza dough was really thin but over then that it tasted good.“

“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.“

“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!“

“We had a variety of food including sushi, burgers, poutine and noodles. All the food was good, delivered pretty timely, and in a relaxed manner.“

“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!“

“AWESOME atmosphere and Cafe. Great neighborhood hangout. Lively people and artists....great place to bring kids as well.“

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

“One of the best places to get a cup of coffee in DC. They have a really nice brew for their coffees. I got the flat white, which tasted really good, and had a strong roast. They also have a couple of coffees from all over the world. Nice place to study, and the service here is really nice. Servers were patient, and willing to offer recommendation. Coffee came in a matter of a few minutes.“

“This was my second Açaí Bowl experience, and my favorite! Look at that picture, the fruit is fresh and piled high! The granola was so good too! I should have drizzled some honey on the top or gotten some of the chocolate pieces. That would have set it off. But it was awesome as it comes. I am a sweet girlie, and the Açaí mixed with pineapple was perfect! The service was great, quick, easy, and friendly. The establishment was clean, I even had to use the restroom and that was clean too. I enjoyed sitting there to eat too, they have big windows to look out of which was nice.“

“really good strawberry cream cheese, paired with cinnamon raisin bagel. bagels are okay but the best that are in dc. we loved the bagel chips and super disappointed they not longer sell them. the cinnamon roll babka and chocolate babka muffins are excellent.“

“Pretty crowded on Saturday afternoons, but that's to be expected. There were several tables to sit at and fortunately, it didn't take me too long to find something. They get their beans from Small Planes (one of my favorite DC coffee roasters) and their Honduras pour over (for 5.00) was smooth and enjoyable. I also got a chocolate croissant (for 6.00) to pair with it which was quite tasty. Overall, solid coffee and pastries here and the atmosphere was lively. Also, Capitol Hill is a great neighborhood to visit and enjoy a snack/coffee break!“

“This place is so fun if you love a variety of Asian foods, and this evening I happened to walk in on a fantastic live jazz band playing by the bar. Last time, we had Korean tacos and tempura, this time I’m having croffles, miso soup, and spaghetti. (I know it’s weird but it’s all so delicious)“

“A great neighborhood spot with plenty of free parking. Service is great and patrons are friendly. I don't live in the area anymore but fellow diners give a head nod like they're glad to see you again. It's a bit crowded Sunday afternoons. It's not a problem for couples, but large groups will have to wait a while.I had the curried chicken. The greens were so good that I forgot what the rest of the food tasted like. A number of people told me the drinks are good so I'll try one on my next visit.“

“Good coffee and nice atmosphere. I like their beans as well. I lovetheir butter croissant, I might be getting it everyday in college park. However, what is this disgrace? Do people really think a yemeni luxury item suddenly appeared in Vienna while everything in between ruled by Ottomans? It was a Turkish Luxury for years, and the western aristocracy got to experience it only after Turks lost to Vienna Siege and they went through a commoner soldier goodies. I dont think they would let a random Yemeni to Austria back then (they dont even do that right now), or a random Austrian would wander there and try local cuisine without oriental prejudice.“

“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.“

“The coffee drinks served by this place are reasonably good, albeit a tad bit pricey. In addition, the atmosphere of this coffee shop is seemingly laid-back, mellow, jovial, and ultra low pressure. My only complaint is the lack of variety in regard to the sweetners for the coffee.“

“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 :)“

“Although we have been to Any Day Now for many brunches and dinners, I am specifically leaving a review for an event that I hosted there this past Sunday. My partner and I chose to host our "morning after wedding brunch" at Any Day now because it is one of our favorite places in the city. Being from a Taiwanese background myself, I absolutely loved the idea of an egg sandwich and scallion pancake fusion. My partner is Korean, so he loved the addition of kimchi. The food is one of the best you can get in DC (and there's a lot of good food here!). Everything is unique, well priced, not pretentious, and most importantly, delicious!From the very beginning, Kati and her team were an absolute pleasure to work with. They creatively thought of ways they could accommodate our very large party while still ensuring that everyone was comfortable. They were very responsive to all of our correspondence, and tried to make our vision possible. On the day of the brunch, the food came our very quickly, and was snatched up by my guests even more quickly! The did an exceptional job accommodating dietary restrictions and allergies, and constantly refilled our food and coffee throughout the three hours we were there. Thank you so much, Kati and team. I highly recommend them, whether you're looking for a place to host a small event or group, or just looking for somewhere to grab brunch with a friend. Thank you for everything, Kati!“

“Convenient, great menu, friendly staff . . .“
