The staff at Vigilante Coffee is incredibly friendly and knowledgeable about coffee. They took the time to explain the different brewing methods and roast levels, ensuring that I got the perfect cup to my liking. Their passion for coffee is evident in their recommendations and the meticulous preparation of each beverage.

The oatmilk latte I ordered was absolutely delicious. The oatmilk was perfectly frothed, and the espresso was smooth and rich, with a hint of chocolatey notes. The latte was not only a treat for my taste buds but also a work of art, with a beautiful latte art design adorning the top.

In addition to their exceptional coffee, Vigilante Coffee also serves a variety of delectable treats, including their signature Açaí bowls. These colorful and nutritious bowls are packed with fresh fruits, granola, and a creamy Açaí base, making them a perfect choice for a healthy and satisfying snack.

“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!!“

“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“

“Charming bakery and café with a good assortment of baked goods and bubble tea. Everything we've had here has been fantastic and affordable. It's a family run place too which is always better than a chain. Hope this place gets the business it deserves.“

“Salmon avocado toast was absolutely superb!“

“My experience at maman’s was very amazing. I had the papas breakfast bowl after getting some recommendations from the worker Kevin. He was very respectful and Helpful and made my experience memorable. I’ll definitely be coming back — and hoping Kevin’s there next time.“

“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.“

“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!“

“Delicious and super staff!“

“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“

“Definitely a hidden gem and true community hub. The team is so patient, once I asked a silly coffee question and they gave a thoughtful, zero-judgment answer. Their menu shines with coffee, mocktails, and other zero-proof options, which made the space feel inclusive.

I’m happy they’re growing with a liquor license, though I’ll miss the fully non-alcoholic vibe. Fingers crossed they keep highlighting the NA options that make this place special.“

“What a gem! Super affordable, incredible pastry selection, & maybe the best latte I've ever had 🥰 Bonus is they don't charge for alt milk options. I got an iced latte w almond milk & a mango danish. The staff were friendly & kept the line moving quickly. As others have said, only a few tables inside & out, but I was looking for something to go anyway, so this was perfect. Will definitely be back!“

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

“I love stopping by this place on weekends or grabbing a quick latte on my way to work. The coffee has a distinct flavor you just don’t get everywhere, and the creativity they put into every cup really sets them apart. Plus, they offer fresh food made in-house, so it’s not just a coffee run — it’s an upgrade.“

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

“4--stars because:

== ESPRESSO ==
$4.15 -- average pricing for DC.
Cashless, unfortunately.

Thank you to the manager on duty for taking the time to explain the reasons why the business is cashless. It's unfortunate the marginalization of several populations by this choice, but it was an eye-opening conversation to understand the growing options for the unbanked & international visitors/students & disabled, etc to use for cash transactions.

Although there are several bean options, the light roast Mexico was not a light roast at all. Like another reviewer commented, it is more a full-bodied, darker medium. Not my jam, but would recommend to others who enjoy quality darker roasts.

Espresso was well served, not burnt.

== ATMOSPHERE ==
* Quiet on a weekday afternoon.
* Lighting is more pleasant than bright, blue, hormone-disrupting light.
* Music was weird 80s/90s rock music, not fitting for a coffee shop, but at least not loud. Grateful it's not like the coffeeshops that seem to be wannabe dance clubs w the blasting music.
* Seating area is top-notch. Great spot for meetups, indoor & outdoor, and laptop sitting.“

“Lovely coffee shop but $5.20 for a croissant?? Seriously? The coffee is great, the service is lovely and the atmosphere is friendly. I found the palce to be a bit expensive but it's probably average by DC standards and the place was quite busy, so kudos to them on that.“

“First time in DC had a blast 🙌
Solo night but it never felt like i was alone 🙂
Space was super cozy and inviting and everyone made sure I was comfortable

Special shout out to my amazing bartender Jay 💕❣️ he ensured i was well taken care of will definitely be back 😀“

“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. 💯💯💯“

“Founding Farmers Tysons Corner is AMAZING. Thank you to Bobbi and Aaron for such wonderful service and great food.The baby shower for our friend was truly a lovely evening and loved by all who attended. Happy atmosphere! Highly recommend this Top restaurant 🥰“

“Great coffee and staff! Highly recommended!“

“Café du Soleil offers a warm welcome and delicious basic French quiches, sandwiches, salads, pastries, and sweet/savory crepes in a relaxed atmosphere. The coffee is excellent and the wine selection offers something for every palate. Definitely worth a visit.“

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

“Rue has been my go-to cafe for the last year or so, so I decided it’s way overdue for me to give them a review. I literally love everything about Rue - the coffee is delicious and I love all their seasonal drinks (though it’s always so hard to decide between getting the seasonal and my go-to lavender latte), the food is fireeee (get the avo turkey with spicy mayo! it’s so good 😭 oh and the parmesan/leek pastry is stupid good, as are like all their pastries), and all the staff are just beyond kind and wonderful. The space is also super cute and cozy. Absolutely my favorite cafe in the neighborhood and will be my go-to always.“

“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!“

“Always, always our go-to place. Don’t waste your time walking around when the very best is in your backyard. There is something for everyone and the quality and service can’t be beat. This team has been together for years, and there’s a reason why.“

“I got the ube tea and it was good tasting. However, I don't think I'll go back unless a friend really wants bubble tea.

First, I paid for the cheese foam and did not receive it. When I pointed it out, the staff fixed it. Secondly, when I walked outside, I realized I was given a small when the picture was a large. Either this is false advertising or the person screwed up my drink a second time. It is too expensive for a small drink and my friend got a large so I'm not sure why there was a discrepency

I also observed a partially made drink being dropped on the ground and then being put back on the counter to continue filling. That is unsanitary. Also, there's limited seating for customers. The two staff put their stuff on two tables so paying customers couldn't sit there.

Overall, the tea was good but the staff needs better training.“

“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!“

“Today I stopped by this place and bought some breakfast. It was delicious and fresh. Even though it was a big breakfast, it didn't take long to arrive at my table. But what I'm doing here is to congratulate the lady who served a deaf-mute person. I could see how she took his order with such patience. Thank you for seeing that, it made my heart happy“

“Delusions food! Everything in the menu sounds great! But, Papa’s bowl it’s extraordinary! The coffees, the croissants.. Owww! The best of all it’s the great atmosphere, all the crew it’s so nice and cheerful. A place to be back anytime you are near“

“Great atmosphere and healthy options!“

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

“Great ambience and good food. I would go back. My only complaint would be about the service, which was a bit strange. A couple staff members (including our server) kept trying to take our food, utensils, napkins, etc. as soon as they sensed we were slowing down. In spite of the fact that we told them several times that we wanted to continue nibbling on the bowl of fruit and fries that we were sharing, they kept trying to take them and eventually did just take them without asking even though we were still eating them. It seemed like they wanted to rush us out, except that our server never came back after that. We probably would have ordered another drink or even dessert if they had asked (they didn't) and eventually I had to flag someone down to ask for our bill almost an hour after they had taken our plates away.“

“Great community coffee shop!“

“By far the best coffee you will ever have. Great atmosphere at both locations. Wonderful fresh coffee beans to purchase. Pastries and baked good galore. Stop by. You'll be glad you did.“

“It is impossible to have a bad experience here. I’ve been coming to this place for well over 4 years now and it never disappoints. The staff is great. Drinks are amazing. And it’s just a really nice to be. The chai latte is worth every sip.“

“I came to this cafe before going to the courthouse to get marriage documents, and the ladies were so kind and celebratory. Not to mention, my ginger tea and white mocha were delicious. This coffee shop is one I’ll definitely be returning to!“

“Just went here for the first time after F45. Service was fantastic and the man who helped us was kind enough to split our bagel without asking.

Small gestures go a long way and will definitely be going back. On top of that , great coffee and a great lox bagel.“

“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“

“Great cold brew! We saw this coffee shop in a few locations around town during our visit, and were excited to stop by and try it. The cold brew was delicious - I definitely recommend having one if you like iced coffees. The hot drip coffee was also great! The decor is cute, and there’s plenty of seating. My only constructive critique is that the team members working didn’t greet us when we walked in - they just looked at us…which was really awkward. When we engaged them by asking questions and ordering, they were nice, so that was a good thing. Coffee and ambiance were great, so I’d visit again next time I’m in DC. I recommend!“

“I really enjoyed my visit to Qargo Coffee Lafayette. The space feels modern, cozy, and perfect for working or just relaxing with a drink. The baristas were super friendly and made my latte just right. Prices are a bit on the higher side, but I think the atmosphere and quality make it worth it. Definitely a spot I’d come back to when I’m downtown.“

“So delish! One of Dupont’s many hidden gems.“

“San Matteo is such a neighborhood gem, with consistently stellar food and service. I always order one of the house-made pastas and end with the tiramisu and chocolate lava cake. The servers are warm and attentive-- shout out to Carolina who was so friendly and extremely accommodating of our picky eater's needs!“

“Great coffee and staff! Highly recommended!“
