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.“

“great food and service nice spot“

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

“Must have the Mochi fantastic“

“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!“

“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“

“Today I brought my aunt to eat lunch and we both loved our meal choices. The fish was fired to perfection and yummy. Our server Jas provided exceptional customer service…she was quick, friendly and check on us throughout our dining experience! Jas can be a training coach!“

“Hawk the security guard was so very kind. he made my expectations for the night very high from his kindness and they were met. the pie was delicious and i just had an overall amazing time. thank you again to hawk for being a sweet person. he made my night 10/10“

“This place was amazing! Thank you to Aster (the owner family) and the chef for this amazing recommendation and preparation. Right amount of taste, protein, and calories!
Tibs kinche (beef with cracked wheat)

Also gave me great recommendations for opportunities and connections!

Can’t wait to come back when I visit again!“

“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!!!“

“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.“

“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.“

“My caramel macchiato was delicious 😋“

“Cute spot, good oatmilk cappacino, and fast food made on order. They have a lot of bread options and turkey bacon or sausage as we as the regular ones. Limited seating in winter but enough and looks like a fun patio for warmer weather. It's in a a neighborhood and good for people watching and just being a part of daily routine of DC.“

“Great food and drinks! Lovely atmosphere! My favorite are the Belarusian and Ukrainian dishes like borscht and bliny. Also, love the light desserts.“

“The café is ideally located between I-95 and Highway 200, tucked within a quiet residential neighborhood and away from busy commercial areas. It’s a charming, cozy spot with an exceptionally clean interior. The pastries and coffee are delicious, and the staff is warm and welcoming. I met someone there, and it turned out to be the perfect place for a peaceful, uninterrupted conversation. I highly recommend this café.“

“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).“

“Takoma Bev Co is the neighborhood gem where great coffee meets greater people. Davis serves up precision with a smile, Artur brings chill mastery to every pour, and Eli? Pure charisma, while James brings welcoming energy.The staff is jovial, the vibe is unmatched, and the drinks hit every time. Let’s not forget about those killer gluten free options. A big shout out to the back of the house for consistent great sandwiches #italiancoldcut (if you know,you know) and of course the paprika aioli-big dippers only!“

“Simona Cafe in NoMa is a gem. Keith and Corey delivered standout hospitality, welcoming, attentive, and genuinely personable from the moment I walked in. The coffee is high quality and tastes as good as it smells because I’m picky like every other human with opinions lol

I ordered the Nova and it was the perfect breakfast bite: fresh, flavorful, satisfying, and exactly what I wanted without feeling heavy. The atmosphere is warm and inviting, the kind of place you actually want to sit for a bit instead of sprinting out with your cup.

Highly recommend Simona Cafe. I’ll be back, and I’d absolutely point friends to this spot!“

“I come here regularly to work or just grab a drink, and it’s easily one of the best coffee spots in the area. The staff is always friendly and welcoming, and you’ll notice a lot of regulars who enjoy coming here. There’s plenty of seating (including a large downstairs area!) so it’s one of the few places nearby where you can reliably find a spot to sit and get some work done.“

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

“Lowkey breakfast spot with several locations. This one has a wide menu with ample seating and an obviously strong following. It was near our hotel and recommended. We were not disappointed. Good food, well and timely prepared, great prices.“

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

“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 ❤️“

“went this weekend for a birthday lunch and the food is amazing! Courtney was an awesome server. Did not disappoint!“

“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!“

“A lovely space all hours of the day. I’ve been before for dinner and made it there this morning to do some work and breakfast.

The upstairs feels like a cozy chateau, the fireplace blazing and plentiful seating options. People are sharing tables, putting coats on the rack, chatting, and typing away.

I sat near an outlet and wifi was quick and easy to log on to. Latte and bagel were fabulous and they brought both to my table.

I can’t wait for it to get warmer so I can use their outdoor space once again!“

“My girlfriend and I love the atmosphere here. All the baristas, especially Diego, always have such a good attitude and make you feel like you're in your own home when you walk in.

A big thank you to Diego for always welcoming us and giving us (and our dog) great service whenever we go!“

“I got the vanilla café latte and it was seriously the best latte I have had in a long time. It reminds me of a latte you would have on vacation outside of the U.S. And the customer service was also top-tier. The cashier was warm, friendly, and welcoming. The cafe environment itself was clean, spacious, and comfortable.“

“Milk & Honey really impressed me today!
From the front staff to the cook, everyone was pleasant and welcoming. You can tell they genuinely love what they do—nothing but smiles all around.

I placed my order online, and unfortunately one item didn’t show up on their end. Even so, they took the time to try figure out the confusion and made sure I received my missing item without any issues.

Customer service like this is hard to find these days. Location was clean and the ambience was everything.
Everyone was kind, patient, and professional.
I’ll definitely be back!

Thank you,
From CT“

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

“We stopped by this place after visiting the Bible Museum. The salad bar and hot bar foods were fresh and nicely displayed, and the overall atmosphere was cozy and welcoming. We had the bibimbap and pho from the deli bar — both were amazing and so comforting for the cold DC weather. Highly recommend this place!“

“Don't be fooled by the name, this is way more than just a place for awesome looking donuts. Great coffee. Great sandwich. Great atmosphere. The best staff. If you're going to the Canadian embassy and are wondering were to lunch, dine this gem.“

“Literally so cute and the food/drinks were SO GOOD! The owners were very sweet. I got a hot chocolate and a Nutella and banana crepe and both were absolutely amazing. The hot chocolate was creamy and chocolatey and it was also the perfect temperature. I recommend adding whip cream as it really elevated the flavor with the contrasting temperatures. My friend got a turkey and cheese crepe and a caramel Frappuccino, both of which were very tasty. The savory crepe was super yummy and the caramel Frappuccino was sweet and frozen/creamy. Overall 10/10 and I definitely want to come back in the future.“

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

“stopped in while on vacation food was great nice friendly staff reasonable prices“

“the food 😋is delicious and the service is great“

“i had been wanting to try out llama bar for some time now and it did not disappoint. there was some kind of event so there was a huge crowd but still service was impeccable. Heaven was only worker behind the bar and she was an absolute gem, all my food and drinks came out quick and she was so friendly and sweet the entire time.

the vibes were fun and lively, the food was delicious, and the service was outstanding thanks to Heaven! make sure to tip when you go because she seemed to be running the whole place by herself! will DEFINITELY be returning with friends!“

“Great coffee and pastries, conveniently located near the hotel we were staying at. Inside was beautiful, and service was very good. My only complaint was that my quiche Ella (cheddar cheese, leaks, caramelized onions), was almost too sweet. Not sure if that was just the onions, though. Delicious croissants.“

“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!💯😋“

“Great food! You can’t go wrong with anything on the menu. Only thing is you have to go at an off peak hour because it’s so full with people on laptops, so it can be hard to get a table and gets loud. Not a reliable place to take a meeting. But if you go at a time that avoids the lunch rush it’s amazing.“

“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.“

“Very quaint! Super busy. Absolutely delicious! Fast service.“

“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:)“

“Café Continental is a go-to for those who love well-executed breakfast and lunch options in a relaxed setting. Their menu offers a mix of classic American and international flavors, with fresh ingredients that make a difference in every bite. The service is friendly, and the café has a laid-back atmosphere that makes it easy to spend a little extra time enjoying your meal. Whether you're stopping in for a quick coffee or a leisurely brunch, Café Continental provides a consistently good experience.“

“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.“
