This place is rarely open, I wouldn’t bother making the trip. The one time it was open, the coffee was average.

Best coffee in Arlington - this gem of a cafe features the best coffee from Rwanda. Highly recommended.

Great spot for a quick coffee on the go as you explore the area! Delicious and distinctive.

Cute coffee place with coffee and several pastries. Fast service and a great quick stop. Loved the cold brew! Would come back!

I had a prepaid pickup order via Too Good To Go and arrived to find it inexplicably closed during normal business hours. I understand issues arising that may cause an emergency closing. What I don't understand is a lack of communication to customers who have prearranged orders. Glad I didn't go too far out of my way.

Amazing service and excellent products. So wonderful to have a great coffee shop now in an area that only has mediocre options.

Solid coffee shop right next to my office. Has a tasty & filling Bourbon Builder shake which makes a great breakfast. A bit crowded inside most days, but it's because they have a huge pillar right in the middle of their space. Friendly service and reasonable prices.

Good coffee, friendly staff, and loyalty program (punch cards). A bit cheaper than other more expensive coffee shops in the area. Would go back!

They are back open! I recently took a job in the area and this coffee shop has been my go-to! I've had their lattes with cinnamon & honey iced, and I have loved each one. They've got grab & go snacks as well as a pastries, and their employees have always been a joy each time I've been in their the last few weeks. It's a slightly limited menu, and I wish there were more flavors available as well as a cold foam option, and that's the only reason I'm giving it 4 starts instead of 5. They're not shy to give their recommendations and are excited to be open again! I love this little cafe!
They have never been open any time of day I've walked pasts the place. Don't know if they are permanently closed.

This seems like an express Bourbon Coffee.They were out of all their light roasts and the baristas couldn’t tell me where the coffee came from and how it was processed. There was no pour over menu either. I ended up getting a dark roast, but it was not what I wanted.This has not been my experience at other Bourbon Coffees, so I was disappointed in the experience.That said, the prices seem to be cheaper than most specialty coffee places and it’s still a decent cup of coffee, even if I don’t know where exactly in Rwanda it came from.

If you like coffee, their American had great depth. Had assortment of pastries. They also are Rwandan-based company that provides fair trade+ to Rwandan farmers. Really cool.

Love the coffee and even the food. The staff is friendly and it's right in my building so I have no reason to go elsewhere for coffee (nor do I want to!).
