Coffee Shops near New Carrollton

“The Customer Service is incredible. They make my coffee before I even get out the car... have it ready when I come... That's Awesome“

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

“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!!“

“Natives/Tourists/Passerby- Run, don't walk to the Lot 38 coffee shop! This must be your first pitstop in Navy Yard.

Do yourself a favor and skip those gross burnt bean chains with sketchy customer service where you feel like you're interrupting them as they forget your order. IYKYK.

Instead, head over to family-owned Lot 38, opened and operated by the sweetest folks who know the Navy Yard area well. Corner of L and 2nd SE on the same side of the street as the lobby of the Courtyard Marriott and across from the park.

The espresso brews fresh and the coffee drinks are consistently a 10/10. Lot 38 has breakfast and pastry options, both breakfast and lunch sandwiches too if you need a bit more filling bite with your brew to start the day's adventure. One of the friendliest places, this shop is always hopping and a fun community atmosphere. Even when it's packed, there's not a long wait for drinks or food. If you come by long enough they start to know your name and drink order. Good place to pop by, a nice (CLEAN!) place to meet up with your friends, or come by for a tea or coffee pick-me-up at the tables upstairs.

Start your day's adventure the best way at Lot 38 :)“

“I came here with some friends for a fun Friday night and thoroughly enjoyed my time! The vibes are great, the music was great, and the food was great too! I tried the beef skewers and the jollof rice. The service could be improved upon. We were left waiting for our waiter for very long periods of time and when my food came, I wasn’t given any silverware or napkins. Overall, I will definitely be back!“

“This is hands down the best cafe in the DC area. They take coffee making down to a science and do it with attitude. The ambiance is great.

It’s a big bike (bicycle) hang out spot over the weekends, lots of folks riding on the Rhode Island Ave Trolley trail divert here.

Their food options are very light but they do have decent pastries and bagels with cream cheese.

But all that other stuff aside, if you are a coffee enthusiast, you MUST check this place out. It raises the standard for coffee in the greater dc area.“

“We accidentally discovered Warka Coffee while staying across the street.

The service was fantastic—friendly, attentive, and genuinely warm. The staff made us feel right at home and were happy to guide us through the menu.

The Ethiopian coffee was truly excellent—rich, aromatic, and prepared perfectly. You can tell they take great pride in their coffee, and it really shows in the quality of each cup. The breakfast items were also delicious and made for a great start to the day.

Overall, a wonderful spot for great coffee, tasty breakfast, and a lively, welcoming atmosphere. We’re so glad we stumbled upon it and would definitely return.“

“Okayyy, so we finally went to try Unidos Café at Union Market and honestly… we loved it.

The atmosphere was so good it has that perfect vibe where you can go get some work done, relax for a bit, and enjoy a really good coffee. But what we also loved is that it’s not just coffee. They have amazing food bites, cocktails, and everything we tried was SO good.

It’s literally the perfect mix of cozy café + fun spot to have a chill hang out. Definitely one of those places we know we’ll keep coming back to.“

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

“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“

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

“great food and service nice spot“

“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“

“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!“

“Salmon avocado toast was absolutely superb!“

“My first time at PJ's and wow the Caramel Creme was on point and delicious. Beignets was a scrumptious treat !! Thank you !!“

“When I moved to Capitol Hill, I was blessed to find I live within a block of Jacobs. This coffee shop is cute, cozy with the nicest owner (Jas) and staff. Its quaint inside and has a larger patio with lots of seating outside. The patio is perfect during the fall and spring. It's also a dog and dog owner's dream! They had a little tin of treats for the dogs near the door, my dog knows and drags me to Jacob's anytime we passby.

I always get their iced caramel macchiato and my favorite food is the bacon egg and cheese on an english muffin. It's perfect everytime!

I love the consistency of this place and always bring my out of town friends here. Do yourself a favor and pop by the next time you're on the Hill.“

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

“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!“

“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 community coffee shop!“

“I have enjoyed drinking Harrar Coffee for more than six years. I discovered the Roastery one day while walking on Georgia Avenue and was really impressed by the coffee. I have moved to South Carolina and order it by mail for the last three years. The absolute best coffee.“

“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.“

“Very good Dessert , and Rana is a very Sophisticated and respectful person. Finally, I can eat delicious sweets without flying to a very far place. Thank you Rana“

“I LOVE KO'S KITCHEN!!!! THE FOOD IS CONSISTENTLY GOOD -PREPARED WITH SOME LOVE. WE EAT THERE QUITE OFTEN AND ALWAYS LEAVE FULL AND SATISFIED. THE CUSTOMER SERVICE IS TOP TIER. WE ARE ALWAYS GREETED WITH A SMILE AND GOOD ENERGY....KO'S IS SUCH A NICE PLACE TO ENJOY SOME GOOD EATS 👍🏼 😊“

“I stopped by Pitango for dessert, and it definitely hit the spot! 😋 I tried two flavors: Stracciatella (vanilla with chocolate chips) and Fondente (dark chocolate). I don't usually eat gelato, so I was pleasantly surprised by the creaminess. The service was excellent; I wasn’t sure what to choose, but the cashier helped me by offering samples and sharing details about each flavor I tried. One of the chocolate flavors I sampled was incredibly rich and chocolatey—it's water-based and vegan-friendly, which was a first for me! The restaurant was nice, clean, and had indoor seating that could accommodate several people, but I decided to take my treat to go.“

“The coffee is decent, and they offer a small flavor selection (the flavors are good and not overpowering). Service is not bad. The atmosphere is nice though it can get a little loud due to the way the space is set up and the materials used. Overall decent coffee shop“

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

“I’m fairly new to road biking and had just bought a new to me road bike from FB Marketplace. I had sent an email through their contact form which Laurie answered and gave me enough reason to bring my bike to Proteus. I brought my bike in this past Saturday. The first person that greeted me was Paul. He checked over my bike and let me know that my bike was really in great shape and made a few minor adjustments that he didn’t charge me for. He replaced my seat and clipless pedals with flat pedals. Literally everyone in that shop made me feel comfortable and welcome. Laurie, Jeff, Duncan, Andy, Paul, yall are amazing and made me feel at home. I live in DC, but Proteus is my go to bike shop now!“

“Great venue with two moods: the front elegant, cozy, warm. The back a large space, bright, packed, and energetic (hard to have a conversation) like a true Italian restaurant.

It's a good Italian option in DC.

Don't miss the parmigiana di melanzane, a deconstructed unconventional execution that works. Fritto misto lightly fried, delicious!

Good carbonara, with a generous serving of very good guanciale
The agnolotti e limone : tasty but needs some tuning: dough it too tick - too much past! also difficult to cut, and, when you do, all the filling come out.

Tiramisù : not a huge fan, missed some coffee.

Enjoyed the lambrusco!“

“This is the perfect place! I came in the morning and it was full, and rightfully so! The staff is so friendly and just puts a smile on your face. I got a regular cold brew and the mushroom & lentil patty - both were excellent! The space is great for coworking and connecting with others. Love it!“

“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.“

“What a welcoming little Ethiopian coffee shop! Once a market, Dire Coffee opened in 2020. Family-owned, Dire Coffee serves Ethiopian coffee beans in all different ways- black coffee, lattes, and more. I ordered the Pumpkin Spice Latte. It came out hot and strong. The woman behind the register, who's the wife of the owner, asked how sweet I wanted my latte. She was very kind!

To eat, they have a variety of food. I ordered one sambusa and it was filled with lentils. It hit the spot!

The space itself is small, but comes with many places to sit. There's a small parking lot out front.“

“The scallion pancake breakfast sandwich absolutely made my day. Maybe my week. It’s so flavorful, the textures are a perfect combination, and the ambiance of this place is addicting.
This was my first scallion pancake — it’s crispy more like an egg roll, no fluffiness of a flap-jack style pancake.

The restaurant is located right on the corner — it’s a little hard to find if you don’t know what to look for, but it’s right there in the lowest level on the corner.
Grab a menu on your way in, order at the counter, find a cozy seat (whether you define cozy as a couch, lounger, window table, round table for a larger party, etc). There’s a variety of great options.

Pictured here are the vegan tofu and hickory smoked bacon sandwiches.“

“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.“

“If there’s one thing I love it’s CONSISTENCY, and Compass is consistently yummy and quick! My top two drinks are the vanilla cream cold brew (add whipped cream & thank me later) or vanilla latte with oat milk. But the seasonal cherry blossom cold brew tops them both when they serve it in the spring. Great place to work if you’re looking to get out of the house, and the baristas are the sweetest. 💗 This is my neighborhood shop & they all know my name (and order!!) whether it’s been two days or two weeks since I last dropped in.“

“The service was above and beyond tonight. The game guru did a great job finding and teaching us just the right game.“

“Very good coffee. Excellent atmosphere. Friendly staff.“

“Visited the first sign language no speaking Starbucks .. how about it was one of the most well run Starbucks I’ve been in from Michigan to California.. and all stops in between . DC did it! What an experience“

“Really loved my experience at Jaliyaa Coffee. The vibe is super welcoming and you can tell a lot of care goes into what they do. The drinks are unique and flavorful, and everything feels really intentional and high quality. Definitely a spot I’d come back to.“

“Amazing food! Great server and wait staff. Creative and unique. Would go again!“

“Great bagels and staff. Having lived in Philly and NY, I came to DC with a high standard for bagels. Call Your Mother is the truth.“

“This was the best coffee we had in DC. The drip coffee was solid, the vanilla latte and mocha were also excellent. Great staff and the owner was very nice. Best coffee in DC!“

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

“Me and the hubby come often on the day he is off just to get coffee I really enjoy the atmosphere and so does he we love it and it’s in walking distance from home“

“Food was yummy (breakfast pita) and their chocolate cruffin was even better! My latte was more milk than espresso shots. The service was great and everyone was kind! They did forget one of our food items so I had to ask, but they solved it right away and the worker in charge of calling food helped us find a spot to sit. That being said, the atmosphere is kind of hectic, it was SUPER busy, which this place is popular so it makes sense. Seating is super limited and it seems like they have more people going for food than to sip on a coffee and work so there were a handful of people sitting with laptops at huge tables working while tons of people ordering food didn't have a place. Feels like they need to just kind of lean into what they want to be and have a order first system then get seating. Other than that, inside is a vibe and very aesthetic!“

“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.“

“Latte was exactly what I hoped for with good quality espresso. Love that they have their own area but also the ability to sit at and order from the food hall seating. Great plan to work remotely, and at least the booth I was sitting at had power outlets :) will be back.“

“I stopped by here recently and ordered coffees and a cake and went to pay for it. Sadly my card wouldn’t work, three times. The girl working there offered to actually pay for everything which was extremely generous. I eventually got my card to work. But i wanted to thank whoever was working here July 3rd again for being so kind. Wish I knew the name.“
