Cafes near New Carrollton

“I recently visited the New Carrollton Café inside the New Carrollton Amtrak station, and I had a good experience. Granted the ongoing construction in and around station make it a little interesting to navigate but the café is open every day from 5:30 AM to 8 PM, making it the perfect stop for early mornings or late afternoons. The staff, especially the ladies working there, are incredibly friendly and welcoming. The prices are reasonable, and the café offers a great selection of food and drinks—pretty much anything you’d expect from a café, including popcorn! It's a perfect little spot to grab a bite or drink while traveling through the station.“

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

“great food and service nice spot“

“Must have the Mochi fantastic“

“I love the atmosphere of this place. When you enter La Cosecha, you’re welcomed by a variety of restaurants and small local businesses — it feels vibrant and creative.
But I’m focusing on Café Unido, because this coffee comes from my home country, Panama. So every time I’m in Washington, I have to stop by.

The space is filled with beautiful natural light coming through the large windows facing the street — perfect for enjoying a slow moment with a cup of coffee. The aroma and flavor are exactly what I expect from good Panamanian coffee: rich, smooth, and full of character.

I believe they could take even more advantage of how special it is to have a Panamanian coffee franchise in Washington — it deserves to be highlighted and promoted more. I truly hope they open more locations around the city so more people can experience it.

I tried the Caramel Latte, and it was delicious. If you like my pictures, give a follow on IG: @framinizingdiary“

“As a Central Asian who grew up with a similar culture and cuisine, I can confidently say this is the best Middle Eastern restaurant I’ve ever visited.

We sat at the bar, where the two bartenders provided great service.

The dishes were creatively presented and rich in diverse flavors. The Pita with Mushrooms and Hummus was our favorite.

The Frozen Halva Bar is, without a doubt, the most unique and delicious dessert I’ve ever tried. The combination of chocolate ganache, sesame, and halva ice cream blended perfectly. Thank you, pastry Chef, Evyn.“

“Everything is delicious! My personal favorite is their chicken on a pita bread, all mezeh (salads) are very yummy! Labneh and pita chips sooo addicting! Their tots omg is a must have every time I go there. Coffeeeeee yesss don’t forget to order it too! Try everything and you won’t be disappointed. Ooohh!! Pastriesssss! Yesss!!!“

“Great service and delicious goodies !“

“Omg this is my second time getting the Mediterranean Market Salad and it is sooo good and 100% vegan! The only downside is that it is so small and I feel that for the price (around $17.00) it should be a little bigger. Otherwise, very delicious. Customer service was great too.“

“My wife and I visit regularly. We've never had a bad Café Miel. The friendly and welcoming atmosphere has been home to many wonderful conversations. We enjoy the food as well. Highly recommend!“

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

“I DREAM about the blueberry pancake pie. I went to a show at Pie Shop last night (love the venue upstairs!) and got a slice of the bb pancake and- I have rarely been so happy.
Great staff, great rooftop and GREAT PIE!! Worth every penny of the $9 per sweet slice.“

“I stopped in with friends before a event Sunday evening. The staff was warm and welcoming. I had the lentil sambusas and a peanut-infused coffee at the staff’s recommendation. The food was fast and delicious- the sambusas were warm and spicy, and the peanut coffee was delicious! In a kind gesture, the chef sent over a sampling of sushi to our table. Fresh and refreshing, the sushi was a nice complement to my sambusas and hot beverage. I’m not on this side of town often, but now I have a reason to come back.“

“Visited the café today! Loved the delectable and creative menu, the warm service, and the beautiful, cozy interior. We enjoyed the inasal, tocino, and ube latte (complete with delicate latte art) courtesy of Sun and Stars Coffee. Our kid was thrilled she could enjoy an ube steamer, too-- and didn't want to stir her drink because she found the art (Hiraya's logo in this instance) so beautiful. If you want reimagined, creative, and elevated Filipino cuisine where the flavors simultaneously bring back sensory memories of the comfort food of your childhood, this is the place for you. Can't wait to return!“

“My caramel macchiato was delicious 😋“

“I love to stop at local coffee shops & this one did not disappoint!! I ordered the iced Macchiato Caramello & Bacon, egg & cheese on a croissant and both were delicious! The coffee was my favorite. Parking is free for the first 2 hours on the street. Will be back 😊“

“The Qabuli Rice was gently seasoned, without being overwhelming, and studded with moist tender lamb. Equally impressive were the spinach and okra dishes that were fresh, tasty, and well cooked. Along with the side salad [lemony and slightly spicy], these side dishes were competing for my attention for the above reasons and being less greasy than most places. I suggested to the owner that the side vegetables should be made into a combo dish, to which they accommodated my request. Smart decor and amiable service. Their house-made saffron ice-cream is on my next visit list.“

“Our group was visiting from out of town and wanted to find a coffee shop within walking distance from our airbnb.
We saw the great reviews for Sylvan cafe and decided to stop in.
I got a Chai latte and veggie omelet which were affordable and very tasty! I’d highly recommend stopping in if you’re in the area“

“Great place: friendly staff, good drinks, and excellent service.

I loved the vibe in this café. It’s the kind of spot where you can read a book, work on your laptop, or meet up with friends.

Jesse had a great attitude and made a perfect matcha. Thank you!

The music selection was good, and the volume was just right. I usually leave cafés if the music is too distracting, but that definitely wasn’t the case here.

This one’s officially on my list of favorite cafés and recommendations 🤍“

“I’ve wanted to eat here for years, but I don’t like to wait. Today was my lucky day - I arrived about 9:30 am and was seated with no wait. The atmosphere and food were beyond exceptional. I can’t wait to go back and they take reservations 💖“

“I love BevCo. I've been going off and on since they opened in 2017 and it really is a great place with great food and drinks and great people. It's great! My one complaint is that they have great burgers but don't have mustard, which is a crime (I brought my own)“

“Delicious and healthy. Food is not as oily as in many other restaurants here.“

“I LOVE this place. Im a regular and come every week, Diego and Glenda are the best, they remember my order everytime and are super friendly!! Theyre the reason I keep coming. The iced latte with almond milk is one of my favorites in DC, and their breakfast sandwhiches are also super good.“

“This H st location is smaller than the Wharf so it can get slammed so recommend you get there early and have patience. The food is fresh and delicious and worth the hype. I technically had an issue when I ordered ahead takeout and I was super delayed and Jennifer and the team helped me out tremendously. So kind plus our food was goood.“

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

“Amazing organization...staffed by amazing people...all doing amazing work in the world!“

“Milk and Honey is the best restaurant ever.. great waitress and staff. Great cook overall I give it a 100 out of 10“

“Every time I come to Washington DC I always make sure to stop here at this coffee shop. They have amazing espresso and coffee drinks. Today I had an iced Americano and also this little pastry treat with almonds on it. That was delicious. I think this is one of the best coffee shops in the whole area.“

“The bulguogi steak sandwich is simply divine! Marinated steak, cheese, & kimchi on deliciously toasted bread. So good! More sweet than spicy.

I've also had the Bahn mi it was also good (bulguogi is still the best).“

“One of my favorite DC cafes! The breakfast sandwich and burrito are delicious, the coffee is great (+ they free refills), and the staff is so friendly and welcoming. I’ve come here after morning workouts with big groups and they are so accommodating. They have great indoor and outdoor space and it’s the perfect place to hang out or get some work done. Highly recommend!“

“Amazing cafe reccomend to all people Spanish, American , Black , dont matter anyone here is welcome love the food love the smoothies are amazing just wish the place had a better schedule and was open everyday possibly? and close at 8PM or something or maybe close at 6pm i am a teenager and i give this a perfect review!“

“Good food prepared fresh in front of you.

I enjoyed my bagel and loxs for breakfast so much that I returned for lunch and had the Reuben.

Prices are reasonable for an expensive city like DC. Restaurant was clean and tidy. The staff was friendly and helpful!

Will return!

“I stopped by this cafeteria for a quick solo lunch and was impressed by the clean space and efficient setup.
There was a good variety of food, and I liked being able to choose only what I wanted and pay accordingly.
The staff were kind and professional, which made the experience even better.
I’m looking forward to trying their made-to-order sandwiches next time!“

“Teaism Dupont Circle Washington, DC I am not a great cook and I get too tired of eating the same old thing day in and day out so I decided to try something new after leaving my acupuncture session today. Well, needless to say the creamy curry spinach with cheese cubes and brown rice made my day.“

“A serene spot to sip coffee amid American art! While the museum showcases icons like Warhol and O’Keeffe, the café quietly celebrates underrated talents like Marianna Lewis (b. 1930), a Midwestern painter whose vivid, introspective portraits and landscapes capture rural life’s quiet dignity. Her work—often overshadowed by contemporaries like Grant Wood—adds depth to the gallery’s narrative of American creativity. Pair a pastry with a moment of reflection here; art tastes better with a side of discovery.“

“Great place to lock in and get some work done. Very spacious with a bohemian aesthetic, the music was a vibe, service was quick & easy

The iced matcha latte with oat milk was perfect and not as earthy as I'm used to it tasting - it paired perfectly with the chicken Caesar salad.

I think they have social events and a DJ some days; if so, I look forward to checking it out“

“What a gem!! I asked someone where a nearby coffeeshop was, and they pointed me to Zeke's, but stumbled upon this a few doors down. Amazing coffee, best bacon egg and cheese ever, and amazing mission! I don't live in the neighborhood, but will regularly travel back to visit Emma's Torch!

Vegetarian options: Clearly marked veg options

Kid-friendliness: I saw happy kids dining in:)“

“Food was great, but service was poor. The waiter kept forgetting things. He was very distracted. Also they asked on open table if this was a celebration i told them yes. My daughter sweet 16. They didn't even acknowledge it. She had on a sash and everything.“

“Huge portions! You get potatoes with every platter, they were over cooked for my taste. First timers will be a little confused as to the order of things but the staff will quickly get you sorted out. Nice outside dining area, birds are a little aggressive.“

“The wife and I are visiting from Texas and Tatte is just up the street from our hotel. Stopped in for breakfast on Day 1 and will be back every day of the trip. Service was friendly and the atmosphere and food were excellent. The breakfast sandwich on sourdough is amazing! I know I need to branch out and try some variety, but the breakfast sandwich is calling me back.“

“absolutely loved this crepe spot! The crepes were so tasty, fresh, and beautifully presented — you can really tell they’re made with care. The ambiance was calm and peaceful, making it the perfect place to relax and enjoy something sweet. The combination of fresh fruit, Nutella, and whipped cream was just perfect. Definitely a place I’ll be coming back to again and again! 🥰“

“Great and Delicious food! So glad I found it :)“

“It’s convenient right next to the Crowne Plaza Hotel. Took us 2 minutes to get there. The prices are reasonable and the food tastes great and made well and fast. The ladies there are very nice and helpful. I got the French toast and bacon and an orange juice from the cooler. And they had fresh fruit which was very sweet and delicious. My friend got the waffles with eggs and bacon and fruit and orange juice. If I lived here I’d go there a lot. Love the small places ❤️“

“Amazingly delicious and healthy options to choose from! Love visiting, shopping, and chatting with the Owner Lisa who is awesomely approachable, friendly, and helpful!!! I am a long-standing time and very satisfied customer! SeaMoss on Deck!!!!!💯😋 Going back soon!💯😋“

“I love the food at EllaRay’s Cafe. I go there every week. I usually call my order in and pick it up in 15 or 20 minutes. I prefer the vegetable platter and an extra side of beans. The portions are enough for two meals for me. I love breakfast there also. Glad I discovered them.“

“A chill, super affirming space and the food and drinks were great! I’ll definitely be back soon.“

“Such a wonderful place to eat and relax! There is a nice selection of food and drink, including sandwiches, salads, soups and pastries. The food is good, fresh made and inexpensive. The staff are welcoming. The atmosphere is warm and relaxing. I love to go 2-3 times a week for my Polish grandmother's borscht and some protein bites! They are trying to keep us all healthy! Highly recommended!“

“I'm on a juice fast and was looking for a spot close to work and liked what I saw on the menu and liked that it was owned by a woman (That's why i voted for Kamala :)
So I got the Energy and Green Detox drinks and boy!!!! They are off the chain with deliciousness. Now I have to go back and try some others and food when I come off my fast A+ Rating!“

“Yummy great food and fresh drink“

“Great service from Mulu ✅️ Great food ✅️ Good views ✅️ for our lunch party of 6“
