50 Best Cafes near Lincolnia

“I usually go to Time Ethiopian Cafe and Market to buy Ethiopian bread(injera), meat, and other miscellaneous items, and I’ve never actually sat down to eat there. But last week, I ordered tibs and a vegetarian combo, and the food was excellent. the flavors were great, and the portions and variety were better than most Ethiopian restaurants I’ve tried.

Today, I ordered fish cutlet with pasta, and once again, the taste was amazing and the portion was more than enough for one person. I really hope they keep the food quality this consistent.“

“I love this place! The food is phenomenal! I can’t get over the tempeh burger!!!“

“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.“

“great food and service nice spot“

“Maman is hands down the best coffee shop in the entire DMV area! Their special coffee flavors are absolutely amazing, offering a unique experience with every sip. The pastries and cookies are equally incredible, fresh, and delicious every single time. The environment is cozy and welcoming, with beautifully decorated interiors that make you feel right at home. Whether you're there to work, relax, or catch up with friends, Maman's ambiance creates the perfect setting. I highly recommend stopping by—you won’t be disappointed!“

“I have came every weekend for a Turkish breakfast for years. My favorite breakfast ever. The family that owns it are the best and makes it feel like you’re right at home 💕💕💕 they have such good lunch and Turkish street food at night too“

“I stopped in with friends before a event Sunday evening. The staff was warm and welcoming. I had the lentil sambusas and a peanut-infused coffee at the staff’s recommendation. The food was fast and delicious- the sambusas were warm and spicy, and the peanut coffee was delicious! In a kind gesture, the chef sent over a sampling of sushi to our table. Fresh and refreshing, the sushi was a nice complement to my sambusas and hot beverage. I’m not on this side of town often, but now I have a reason to come back.“

“I just had an amazing breakfast here! The menu has a great selection of vegetarian options, healthy and so delicious.“

“From the moment I walked in, Layla and Frank made me feel genuinely welcomed. The service was fast, friendly, and you can tell they really care about the experience they’re creating.
The iced latte itself was fantastic, rich, smooth, and clearly made with attention to detail. The atmosphere is warm and inviting and I would definitely visit again!“

“Chocolate pudding 🤤🤤🤤🤤🤤🤤🤤“

“Okay forget Starbucks and paying $7 for a boring latte. Come here- get the pistachio latte and see a work of art presenting as your new favorite coffee. Definitely will be coming back. This was SO delicious.

They also have so much variety of latte (and I happen to be a latte gal). They have Ferrero, Dubai Chocolate, Strawberry Cheesecake, Apple Pie, etc. I had a hard time choosing, but ended up picking up a classic (shoutout to the baristas being patient because I took at least 10 minutes looking through the menu).“

“I love going to Toastique! Specially because their customer service has been phenomenal. Once I order the avocado smash toast without chili oil and for some reason it was still spicy and they were so understanding of my allergies that they made me a new one. I highly recommend visiting!“

“best“

“The coffee is excellent, best in DC. The food quality is amazing, love the pastries.
The service is disappointing. No one is inadvertently rude, it takes so long to get food orders. Can’t go in the morning. Waited over 20 minutes for a little breakfast sandwich to-go.“

“Excellence everything a great environment, very friendly,“

“stumbled on this spot, was blown away. absolutely delicious“

“Excellent food and the best chai!“

“Delicious and super staff!“

“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!“

“The café is very aesthetic, looks really beautiful and is cozy and tidy. The staff is friendly and they have a variety of food options. I had their oatmeal & quinoa bowl, which I personally didn’t like, but that’s my preference. Their matcha on the other hand was good. I will definitely go there again and try other breakfast options🍵✨“

“It is a cool and nice lounge!“

“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.“

“Grabbed a smoothie and some wellness shots out of there yesterday. The vibe was perfect and it felt very welcoming.“

“Great food and friendly service! I came hoping for something like the food my grandparents used to make, and they truly delivered particularly with the cheese boreg and yalungee. Very thankful to have them cater a dinner for our visit to DC for a celebration of life. 💜“

“Friendly comfortable environment with great coffee and sandwiches. I don't eat a lot of ice cream, but patrons I've watched really like it.“

“My husband and I found this little spot while out walking . We purchased coffee, bagels and decided to have a scone apiece. The owner and staff are so sweet and you can tell that they love what they do. It will be a regular spot for us to visit.“

“Decent sandwich and lunch place. Was pretty busy when we stopped in and there wasn’t a ton of help behind the counter. Felt bad for the folks that had been waiting some time while food delivery orders were prioritized.

That said, the food I got was pretty great. The salad was a little too oily but it was priced pretty fairly for the amount of salad I got.

Overall a decent place. Would stop by if I was looking for a safe lunch option.“

“Great value! Delicious food..sandwiches as well as their hot bar! The best place in Tyson's for lunch“

“Stopped in the have a quick bite ended up having the honor of meeting the young owner Mr Justin . Very knowledgeable hospitable entrepreneur. Service was exceptional, food was fulfilling and down right delicious. It’s been a long time since I had a down home meal in a restaurant setting. Eggs were made to my specifications and the bacon oh the bacon. Thick cut with just the right crunch and crispness. I will definitely return and spread the word“

“This has definitely become my new local coffee shop. It’s the kind of place you can go to every day before work starts—it has already become that for me.

The atmosphere is great; it’s a very easy place to get some work done or settle in with a book, and the outdoor seating is a huge plus. I love coming here in the morning for an iced mocha and their sausage, egg, and cheese on an everything bagel. The seasoning is excellent and the food is always fresh.

The staff is super nice and they are incredibly quick with orders. I’m already planning on heading back this Saturday with my new read.

Highly recommend!“

“very nice 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰 🥐🍇🍕🧁🍫“

“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.“

“I’ve been a loyal Tatte fan for over 10 years, following them from Boston to DC. The West End location is my favorite in DC—I love the large, airy interior with higher ceilings. Their Pistachio Cherry Tart is my go-to. It's a must-try!“

“Great buffet and grill that feels like home. The owners are like family! Chef does a great job!“

“I love the food here and the people who run it. The food is amazing! I am here at least once a week. There is such a variety on their menu and their daily specials are always great to try. Stop by if you're hungry, you will not be disappointed.“

“I love everything about this place! Been coming here for a couple of years now and they know me and added me by name and always know exactly what I like. OG ACAI BOWL for the win!! They fix it perfectly every time!“

“Wow, what an amazing place for solo travelers looking for a port in the storm. Gisell was phenomenal! Super knowledgeable about all the products and provided stellar customer service. Amna and David were friendly and helpful. I got the Dragonberry bowl and it was great! Excellent for those who seek gluten-free products. I will most definitely be back.“

“OMG! My favorite place for juice, smoothies, avocado toast and acai bowls now has SOUP! Just had their potato squash soup, and it was better than my homemade soup (which is also delicious). Will be visiting often this winter for soup, cappuccino and "stay away cold and flu" juices. Sooo happy to have healthy options close-by!“

“Great food and drinks! Lovely atmosphere! My favorite are the Belarusian and Ukrainian dishes like borscht and bliny. Also, love the light desserts.“

“I was looking for a spot to chill, enjoy coffee, and get some work done on my laptop. Thankfully, I stumbled upon this place. The walnut, chocolate chip cookie was fire 🔥🍪, the orange blossom latte was on point, and the music selection fit the vibe perfectly. Dennis kindly welcomed me from behind the counter as a first time visitor/guest and made me feel welcomed & shared great recommendations.“

“Stumbled upon yesterday when I was picking up from Thai Select. I walked in and almost fell over with the beauty of this pastry/coffee shop. I only had time enough to purchase a S'mores cookie. OH MY WORD! I'll be BACK.“

“Cafe Right Angle is such a cool little spot! The vibe is super chill and the food totally hits the mark—fresh, tasty, and honestly so satisfying. I grabbed a sandwich and a smoothie, and both were awesome. The staff were really friendly and made everything feel easy and welcoming. Perfect for a quick bite or a laid-back hangout. Definitely gonna be coming back here!“

“Amazing food, always made fresh to order at a family owned and family ran eatery. Home style cooking, great for picking up a quick lunch. Love the quality of the beef and chicken. I order the beef bibimbap rice bowl and the chicken curry with rice dish. Both excellent! Highly recommend!!!“

“A small but absolutely mighty coffee shop in the heart of dc U street. The service is insane , especially for a normally two man run joint. They pay so much attention to detail and craft every menu item with so much love, care and intention. By far my favorite cafe in the city. My Fiance go here every Sunday before church and we look forward to every time. Andre 300 is our go to and their saffron cardamom latte may be one of my favorite combo lattes ever.“

“This place was an absolute gem during our week-long stay in DC. We visited it a whopping five times! We had such a great time, especially when we made a funny joke about breakfast for the next morning. 😂 Because we had already eaten it .“

“the people are really nice and the food is great 👍“

“I love City Place Cafe and the staff is amazing🥰“

“The cafe mocha was delicious 😋“

“Great experience wonderful staff the kitties were a lot of fun!!“

“From the vibe, to the service, to the food. Cafe Levantine is a definite visit. I feel that this is a space that encourages creativity and great conversations.

The BEC or what is known as the Beef Egg and Cheddar was marvelous and the bread was a perfect compliment. The Egg Z was amazing, and the Cheese Press was chefs kiss.

Make this a must visit and Im sure you wont be disappointed at all.“
