The manager and staff are so kind, they truly check in on you and make sure you are taken care of.

The food is fresh and so delicious! The drinks are good as well!

I look forward to coming back (I recommend coming when they open so that you don't have to deal with the brunch rush).“

“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!“

“A breakfast restaurant can provide a comfortable setting for traditional morning meals, coffee, sandwiches, and other daytime options. A varied menu allows different preferences to be accommodated, while efficient service is especially important during busy morning hours. Compared with a quick grab-and-go option, a full breakfast restaurant provides a more relaxed dining environment. Fresh preparation, reasonable portions, and a comfortable atmosphere all contribute to a more enjoyable experience for casual morning dining.“

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

“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.“

“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 ❤️“

“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.“

“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!“

“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.“

“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.“

“Good food! Everyone is nice! They have a corner for little kids to play for a bit. Their bathroom is Maman friendly!!!!

Cons: I wish they expand! We had a hard time to get a spot for us and won’t be able to go upstairs because we got stroller.“

“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😊💕“

“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.“

“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!“

“I can’t recommend this place enough. It has the best coffee and the breakfast sandwiches were amazing. I will certainly return to Simona Cafe. xxx“

“great food and service nice spot“

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

“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 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“

“I am now a huge fan of Habibi lattes! My daughter and I had brunch at the Detour Coffee Cafe. and the food was amazing. We ordered the Shakshuka and the PB & J toast. Both were delicious! I am now making my own Shakshuka and hoping one day to make Habibi lattes, too. I highly recommend this place.“

“I’ve ordered 2 cakes now and consistently then have been 10 out 10 for flavor and design. Their cakes are cute and fun while tasting delightful- you can taste the real ingredients, and every bite is light but sweet without over doing it. The owners are also very nice, family oriented and accommodating. Highly recommend!“

“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.“

“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.“

“This is a charming locally owned café that offers exceptionally fresh food and coffee - they roast and grind their own beans on site. The atmosphere is cozy and welcoming and the owners take the time to truly greet every customer of which there are many regulars. I am thrilled to have a wonderful place to go whenever I'm in Bethesda. I've been twice so far and plan to frequent more often ❤“

“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.“

“Today I had the best fried chicken sandwich since Kevin Tien’s Perfect seasoning—a little heat but not too much, smashed avocado, coleslaw, and chicken that had just the right amount of crispy covering that kept the chicken moist. I can’t wait to return for another.“

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

“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 😍🤩“

“Excellent food (great job on the pork chop) and truly first rate service. A neighborhood gem.

I'll just add that while this is an excellent wine bar, I appreciate the options on offer for a non alcohol drinker such as myself.“

“This is by far the BEST local coffee in the area the coffee is to die for and the Java burger is the best I ever had in my life Anita ( I think her name is) the cashier/barista is amazing her recommendations for coffee and food are excellent“

“Delicious and super staff!“

“Really, really good food. I'd give it a 4.5 if I could. The only sticker was the broth of the onion soup could have done with a bit more flavor, maybe salt? Other than that, the soup in texture and presentation was excellent. Highly recommend the Chouffe IPA. Like a Belgian made an IPA...“

“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“

“Salmon avocado toast was absolutely superb!“

“I love it!!! Great prices compared to similar bakeries in the area, they have a great assortment of pastries (I only tried the dulce de leche medialuna and it was really good) and they have normal priced, good coffee. The decor and ambiance is also lovely. And service is great!“

“Chocolate pudding 🤤🤤🤤🤤🤤🤤🤤“

“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!“

“Love the latte flight! And the sandwiches are delicious!“

“CIVIC on Eighth has such a wonderful atmosphere and charm. The space is beautifully designed with cozy seating, warm wood details, greenery, and a stylish yet relaxed vibe that makes you want to stay awhile. The ambience alone makes it a perfect spot to meet friends, get some work done, or just enjoy a quiet moment.
We loved our visit and really enjoyed the drinks and treats. The loaf cake was fresh, moist, and delicious, and everything was presented beautifully. The staff created a welcoming environment, and the whole place has a unique personality that stands out from a typical coffee shop.
Definitely a hidden gem with great energy, great design, and a place I’d happily come back to! 🌿☕“
