Fantastic classic coffee shop with plenty of Ryba spread out. Outdoor seating available. The kind lady at the front was very helpful as we navigated the baked good selection and we both learned the difference between vegan and gluten-free chocolate chip cookie. Although I’m not entirely sure when chocolate chip cookie became so complicated but the gluten free one was delicious! Cappuccino was great quality.

Really nice coffee shop. Delicious espresso, self-roasted. Roomy area with authentic industrial furniture/shelving/etc. Large roasting space in next room. Friendly customer service, staff willing to talk coffee.

The coffee and food is … fine. The seating is large, communal tables. Honestly, my issue is how they serve even the for-here orders in single-use plastic cups and paper packaging without even a single recycle bin in sight. Come on y’all, it’s 2024

I was excited to learn that Swing's has been roasting and selling coffee in the area since *1916*!! (believe she said 1016 E St (NW, I presume) in DC was the original location).Good coffee (a macchiato) , by the way. ❤️

Coffee was decent but there was a barista who seem annoyed that I asked if there was a way to warm up the Parmesan and Leek pastry I ordered?There are also not too many outlets.

Loved the swings downtown so stopped by and it did not disappoint. Looks like a great atmosphere to work from with lots of tables.

Great coffee and coffee beans! Reasonable price with the best quality of beans! The atmosphere of the cafe is awesome!! It is far from where I live, but it is still worthy to have coffee here!

Good coffee but frustrating customer service. Arrived at 3:45 (15 mins before closing) to pick up a bag of coffee for the weekend. The door was unlocked and when we went inside, we were told by the associate standing behind the register that he had already closed up. Was not able to make a purchase. Already limited hours and staff not honoring those hours (this is not the first time) makes this unpredictable and frustrating.
