“At Xiomara suggestion, I ordered El Granseza sandwich for the first time , the very melted mozzarella cheese is super delicious and the red chilly has a great flavor touch.the service is awesome.Definitely I’ll comeback and also recommend it to my friends thanks Xiomara.“

“Every person working here on 1/9 around 1:50pm needs a ✨raise✨ - or a fat bonus.. or both? 👀 I have never met a friendlier staff in all my years going to Starbucks, truly. Attentive, personable, compassionate. Mind you I was there for less than 5mins and was able to pick up on all of that. I hope both sides of all of their pillows are always cold, every light is green, and that they all get those bonuses I mentioned 👀 (from y'all tho ❤️)“

“Delicious pastries and coffee, great vibe“

“The staff are the best, next to the store manager Anna Jamerson! I simply love my NoBe Starbucks.“

“Fantastic croissants and delicious pastries. The staff is also very friendly and helpful!“

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

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

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

“Stopped by after seeing high reviews. The atmosphere of the place is really nice. There’s quiet spaces to study. There’s cute little gifts you can purchase. However, the pistachio chocolate croissant I tried wasn’t good. I don’t like the taste of pistachio paste. Also it wasn’t fresh.“

“The minute you walk inside, you are immersed in a whole new experience.

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).“

“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!“

“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.“

“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!“

“Spark Social House DC is the hottest new hangout spot in DC! Thank you for providing a safe environment for everyone! 🫶🏻“

“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.“

“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!“

“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“

“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!“

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

“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 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 ❤“

“excellent peruvian foood!!!! totally recommend!!!!!! i was very impressed and drove 1.5hrs to try it. worth the drive!!!!!!“

“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!“

“Celebrated my birthday at Empress Coffee & Cocktails with my girls, and it was everything! The food and drinks were incredible -- we tried so many dishes and loved every bite. The Persian pizza (a house favorite) was full of flavor, the soup and grilled cheese combo was pure comfort, and the turkey + havarti sandwich, bacon egg croissant, and margarita pizza were all delicious and perfectly done. The drinks? Just wow. The espresso martini is an absolute yes! We also loved the butterfly margarita, lava-shak martini, and Malibu sunset -- all beautifully crafted and fun to sip. Plus, they offer a nice selection of wines and juices to purchase. Shots were order as well. Had too much fun didn't take pictures of all the food and drinks. The space itself is perfect for a girls' day or night out -- stylish and cozy with beautiful lighting and thoughtful décor. We especially loved the artwork of the girl with the pearl earrings -- such a fun and elegant touch! We were lucky enough to have the place to ourselves, which made the whole evening feel extra special. Huge shoutout to Sam, the owner, who was such a warm and welcoming host. Highly recommend this gem for a celebration or a chill hangout. Can't wait to go back!“

“Charming smaller restaurant with friendly service, a very good wine list and delicious food. Once you find street parking, you can choose from several small tables on the street or comfortable seating inside this very attractive restaurant. There were three of us having dinner which consisted of Gnocchi, Chicken Milanese and an outstanding pork chop with caramel sauce. This restaurant really is a neighborhood gem. The noise level is high, but that is the only negative thing that I can think of to say.“

“Delicious and super staff!“

“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.“

“Wonderful coffee and service!“

“🥰Great breakfast 😍🤩“

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

“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“

“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.“

“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!“

“Great coffee and staff! Highly recommended!“

“The best coffee in Washington, DC! The staff is professional, friendly, and provides excellent service. I always enjoy coming here—the atmosphere is welcoming, and the experience is consistently outstanding. I love this place and highly recommend it!“

“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!“

“Finally, a delicious and reasonably priced cafe has arrived in Shaw! The staff is INCREDIBLY kind (and dog friendly), the pastries and sandwiches are excellent, and if you’re in a rush but need a good coffee, you can get in and out within 5 mins. I highly recommend Cafe Joy!!!“

“Great coffee and staff! Highly recommended!“

“We had a group of 9 for brunch and it was a complete feast! The shareable plates just kept coming and everything was delicious. Such a great variety of pastries, vegetarian dishes, dips, egg dishes, and more. Would highly recommend it for a casual friendly sharable brunch with friends or family who are eaters of all kinds. The offering has something for everyone- and it is a great way to introduce those who may be unfamiliar with Turkish fare.“

“I had a great time here today! I fed the cats churus and they loved it! There are some cute cats and they all are for adoption. The owner is very sweet! You can get coffee or soda or snacks to the café connected to the café. The cats also love playing with toys and all are rescue cats. The owner introduced me to all the cats when I came in by telling me their names. I had so much fun can't wait to come back again!“

“fun smaller shop off the main street. loved the quiet ambiance of it and the in and outs of the hostel guest staying in the building. The cafe has wifi with enough seats inside and out for enjoying a coffee. My flat white was well made and my family enjoying their hot chocolates. best part.... it's very very affordable, a good $1-2 cheaper than most places.“

“Absolutely love! Everyone is kind and welcoming. The drinks and pastries are amazing. The only shop I feel like a part of the community 🥹 there are many regular customers, and the employees make me feel comfortable. There are always people sitting and working and talking with baristas- but never a long wait for your order“

“Quaint little family owned coffee shop with an attentive staff. Great coffee!“
