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!!!“

“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.“

“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“

“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.“

“Excellent food and the best chai!“

“Stopped in this morning and loved my vegetarian meal! Hussein was a lovely, kind person to chat with, and the outdoor terrace is beautiful. I highly recommend coming back with friends. Borek G Cafe is delicious with great atmosphere!

Important: the baklava was some of the best I've had.“

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

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

“I'm a retired chef from Louisiana but living in Nashville nowadays. I know about eating healthy and I would give this place 2 thumbs up.“

“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!“

“Nice atmosphere . Troy was a great host/server.“

“Chocolate pudding 🤤🤤🤤🤤🤤🤤🤤“

“The food was great. However, the pleasant young man who took our order messed it up. We asked for add-ons to our main order, but he gave us a whole different order, which cost us a lot. My friend was incensed, but we let it go because we didn't want to hold up the customers behind us and the young man may have been new at his job.“

“I absolutely loved the coffee Omakase experience!! The servings and wonderful concoctions of coffee and unique Asian flavors was the absolute best I was pleasantly delighted. I would definitely go back and highly recommend this experience to anyone who loves coffee and experimenting with fun flavors.“

“best“

“Excellence everything a great environment, very friendly,“

“Every time I visit my family in DC, I always go to Cafe on 9th! Best place in the neighborhood to get a sandwich, and is NYC folk know how to judge a good BECSPK 🥪 if you want a great breakfast/lunch sandwich, definitely stop by here!“

“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 .“

“This is a tidy little cafe with a nice selection of healthy eats. I had a falafel wrap with a side of spinach and potatoes and a green smoothie. They have a wide range of options, from their popular chicken shawarma wrap to chickpea or salmon salads, and fresh pressed juices. What stood out to me was the fantastic service. The owner made great suggestions based on my dietary restrictions. It’s a great place to unwind, and a welcome spot im the neighborhood.“

“refreshing and fulfilling smoothies Healthy and great taste“

“I can’t recommend this place enough. It has the best coffee and the breakfast sandwiches were amazing. I will certainly return to Simona Cafe. xxx“

“Delicious food! My friend and I went here during our DC trip. We liked it so much we made sure to go back the next day before our train left. We went back in line and ordered twice each time we went. On the second day, our cashier/server from the first time recognized us and said hi! The chicken in the amba chicken pita is INCREDIBLE“

“Delicious and super staff!“

“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.“

“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.“

“It is a cool and nice lounge!“

“very nice 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰 🥐🍇🍕🧁🍫“

“One of the best coffee shops in DC and definitely a favorite of mine. I find myself coming back all the time. The orange raspadura latte is a must, and they have the best carajillos in the Union Market area. The customer service is always great, too.

They also have a really reasonably priced happy hour, especially for DC. Great coffee, great drinks, and consistently a good experience. I haven’t tried any food yet but can vouch for the drinks. Highly recommend!“

“The service is excellent, and the food is beautifully prepared and delicious, served on lovely Armenian-style plates. You can also purchase products from Armenia. I wish you every success and offer a big Armenian shnorhakalutyun (thank you) ☀“

“Sylvan Cafe has a quiet and quaint atmosphere with lovely jazz playing in the background. The staff is very kind and lovely and the food comes out fast.

The food is amazing and I mean really good for the price. 17 dollars for a veggie platter, is an amazing deal and the quality is out of this world it tastes delicious. Would recommend for anyone passing by in the neighborhood to stop by and support this small business.“

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

“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.“

“Toastique is my favorite! That Green Machine smoothie can cure just about anything. I visited today and accidentally dropped my smoothie before I had a sip. They sweetly made me a fresh one and I left feeling embarassed...but I bet this smoothie will cure that, too.“

“Suosittelemme Chef Mikko Catering ravintolaa ❤️😍“

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

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

“👏👏👏 One of the Best Coffee spots in Arlington.“

“"I've been coming to this hidden gem for years, and it never disappoints. The owner, Choi, is wonderful—friendly, personable, and incredibly attentive. If you're someone who orders the same thing every visit, she'll likely remember your order by heart. I like to try something different each time, and I've honestly never had a bad meal. The food is consistently excellent, and I've become so hooked that I order lunch from here at least twice a week. Their breakfast is just as amazing and always a great way to start the day. I highly recommend this place to anyone in the area looking for a delicious breakfast or lunch. Great food, great service, and a welcoming atmosphere keep me coming back year after year."“

“i got their matcha and it was so good! i also got their brownie and cookie to eat on a hike with my brother. the brownie was really tasty. i sat down somewhere during that hike and a squirrel tried to grab my bag of sweets which i just wanted to add because the squirrel liked the food too enough to try and steal it!“

“This little cafe is extremely nice and cozy. I really liked how the employees treated me and how they helped me out with my order. And on top of all that the food was very fresh and delicious and of course the matcha latte. Thank you very much !“

“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!“

“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!“

“It's a really cute little place. Their signature latte is delicious, and a pastry I tried was also really good. Definitely will be back :)

UPD: and when I've forgotten a bag there, they figured that this review was by me and reached out. Truly the best!!!“

“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.“

“Staff and baker were both so kind and welcoming to all who walked in. Some regulars they clearly acknowledged. It didn’t matter what one purchased. And calmly efficient to get everyone in/out. Patrons were also so wonderful, clearly a neighborhood gem. DC is still a city of people trying to hurry along, so I am not expecting lingering and community chit chats. Also around it are few hotels. Now the baked goods, one of the best chocolate croissant, orange scone and the banana chocolate loaf (I slathered it with some peanut butter for protein and that made it even more elevated). The egg sandwich with fresh focaccia a mist try on the spot. I would totally nominate them for an award. No fancy baked goods but that is why it is such a gem.“

“Besides delicious pastries, the best part of Boulangerie Christophe is the staff! Super friendly and kind to everyone who walks through the door. The gourmet sandwiches are a huge hit for my 15-year-old son too.“

“Absolutely the best food and service in old town !! Amazing chili and cornbread!! I would recommend this for great prices and excellent food !!“
