50 Best Coffee Shops near Rosslyn

“I LOVE THE LATE & BLUE BERRIE SCONE… THE BEST!! I really enjoy, Plus all the employees are very nice they always in a good mood, good working people. 🙏🏻❤️“

“Now there are 3 coffee places in my neighborhood but this is my go place. I come for the pleasant and down to earth vibe … read my book, chat with friends or use the WiFi to get work done. The chocolate chip cookies aren’t much to look at but are always delicious.“

“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 ordered a cake for my son’s first birthday, and I couldn’t be happier with the result! Wendy went above and beyond. It was clear she put a lot of care and attention into the cake. The cake was not only beautiful but also incredibly delicious. It was a big hit at the birthday party, and many guests complimented how tasty it was. Thank you so much for helping make my son’s first birthday so special. I highly recommend Morning My Day to anyone looking for a perfect cake for their celebrations!!“

“Salmon avocado toast was absolutely superb!“

“Great waiter- delicious food, unique and cooked perfect! Music and vibes were very very fun!!!“

“Visited the new Apex location. The Istanbul Turkish Coffee was great with a splash of oat milk. The customer service and environment were great!“

“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!“

“The food is wonderful. We always eat here when we come up from Richmond, VA. The staff is great as well.“

“Dietary restrictions: Per their website, all food is halal

Kid-friendliness: My husband and I went to celebrate our wedding anniversary. I saw a family with kids there (under the age of 12). I personally would not recommend bringing kids and I wouldn't bring my own until they were late teenagers. The atmosphere and food options are not really kid friendly“

“COFFEE: Cortado was a bit on the bitter side for me initially, but there was a sweet aftertaste later. Likely just the roast and not how it’s made.
Note: no beans on hand for purchase when I was there.

STAFF: nice, efficient. Busy outpost location so not much interaction.

FOOD: didn’t purchase.

DECOR: it’s like an outpost location, so really just a bit more than a kiosk. The location is inside the La Consecha ‘hub’ so there’s seating all over, different food stalls, an upper floor area w more comfortable seating that we didn’t go to.
Not their fault, it’s just the place where they put the outpost location doesn’t offer a lot for coffee house vibes (if that’s what you’re looking for).“

“Delicious and super staff!“

“It felt like a beautiful fall afternoon. Where only a cup of mocha would make it better. I walked to a quaint coffee house at a corner of two roads in a V, across trees in orange and red. 8 green chairs and 2 brown benches put up in small circles under a canopy. There was a cute patio with string lights across, allowing just enough warm sunlight through horizontal patterns. Plants breathing in as they had been there forever. Murmurs and faint conversations followed.

I opened a glass door to enter as a bell above me rang. There were 3 baristas behind a counter creating art , soaking in some music. There was a huge menu on a chalk wall which I chose not to read. I knew what I wanted.

I walked to the girl with a huge smile behind a billing screen on the other side of the counter,

“I feel special”, I said.

“We have these 3 special drinks available today”, she said.

I looked at the 3 drinks and it just didn’t click.

“Do you like Matcha”, she asked.

“I like matcha”, I answered.

“We have a matcha inspired tea.”

“I like tea, but today feels like a coffee kind of fall afternoon. Can you make me a mocha?!”, I asked.

“Hmmm… Let’s get you a special Mocha! Maybe a baklava latte but fused for chocolate”

I liked what was going on in an artist’s head. Today felt special. I wanted that original piece. I wanted this artist’s monalisa.

The Baristas – an ensemble of 3 – had a quick discussion. They ran thru the flavor profile of this new drink. With precision, he blended coffee, with oat milk & chocolate. I stood by and  watched, my drink being made with special detail. And to finish it my drink had a latte art specialist. I breathed in anticipation.

They placed my mug on a glass counter.

“Here is your drink, let us know how you like it.”

I carefully threaded the coffee mug with two hands to my lips & took a sip.

“It tastes like a beautiful fall afternoon”“

“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!“

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

“This coffee shop is a hidden gem! The moment you walk in, you’re greeted by the warm, inviting aroma of freshly brewed coffee. The staff is incredibly friendly and attentive, making you feel right at home. Their menu has a great variety, from rich espresso to creamy lattes and even delicious pastries. The ambiance is cozy, with comfortable seating and soft lighting, perfect for relaxing or getting some work done. I tried their signature cappuccino, and it was hands down the best I’ve had. Highly recommend this place for anyone looking for a quality coffee experience!”“

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

“Lot 38 Expresso Bar is a hidden gem in DC and my absolute favorite breakfast spot. I ate here almost daily for 3 years when I lived nearby, and now I make it a point to stop in whenever I'm in town.

Their vanilla latte is perfection - smooth and completely free of bitterness. The sausage, egg, and cheese breakfast sandwich on a soft, perfectly toasted bagel hits the spot every time with its ideal balance of ingredients.

What truly sets Lot 38 apart is the ownership. The proprietor is incredibly kind and welcoming, always ready with a friendly smile and witty conversation that can turn any bad day around.

Whether you need a quick breakfast on your way to work or a cozy spot for a meeting with friends or colleagues, Lot 38 delivers. It's versatile, delicious, and guaranteed to become your new favorite breakfast spot in DC.“

“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.“

“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.“

“Love this seemingly secret spot! It's tucked away, but conveniently located right by the U St Metro station. I enjoy and look fwd to their unique seasonal flavors and the welcoming vibe as it's also the lobby of a hostel/hotel. Glad they are still going strong!“

“Great coffee and staff! Highly recommended!“

“Nice clean place, great staff, great smoothie & coffee ?

I wanted to get coffee while my wife wanted a smoothie so we stumbled into this place. She loved her smoothie so much that she decided to get another one for our kid (they usually share one). The 2 staff members were amazing and answered every question she had in a very pleasant manner and allowed my wife to substitute one of the ingredients in the smoothie.“

“Came here twice so far, and plan to keep returning. Their coffee is delicious! Not burnt or bitter like a lot of other places, including at well-known chains. Their syrups are tasty and they don’t make the drinks overly sweet. The baristas are always kind and welcoming. It’s a great place to stop after visiting Rock Creek Park, or to study/work on your laptop. Even on weekends, there are always seats. They have outdoor seating too.“

“This is my all-time favorite neighborhood cafe. The owners remember everyone who comes in and greet them warmly. The coffee is excellent, the atmosphere is warm and cozy, the food options are perfect for breakfast and lunch, and the food itself is made fresh and tastes delicious. I love having this place in my neighborhood!“

“Great place for community engagement!“

“Went there last weekend and everything I ordered was delicious, I was inundated with an abundance of delicious choices, the decor was open and family friendly and the service was impeccable“

“Came for a tasting as part of Tasting Collective and was glad I did. This was truly a great experience. The 5 course tasting had 2 courses (1st & 4th) that needed to be altered as I'm a pescetarian therefore, don't eat duck. So in place of the duck paté, I was served figs and brie and in place of the duck breast I was served branzino. Each course was nicely paired with wine, again adding to this wonderful experience.

The fig and brie with the croutons was delicious, followed by the roasted pear with gouda, pecans and pomegranate sprinkles which was a delightful tasty plate. Who would think white chocolate and cauliflower purée would be delicious and pair beautifully with seared scallops? Clearly Chef Moore did and how right was he. That purée had folks at our table scraping to get all of it. The next course was a substitute dish and was beyond disappointing, especially compared to the other 3 courses. The branzino was BLAND, but the olives that were on the side were extra salty. I thought I was supposed to eat them together, but that didn't help. I couldn't even eat this course. The final course was a butterscotch pudding, a great way to end the meal/night.

Chef Moore was very welcoming. He answered questions and took pictures with the guests.

I'll definitely add this to my list of restaurants.“

“Great first trip to Soleluna this morning! My flat white wasn’t as hot as I would like and VERY small. Biggest complaint. The pastry was good, I got a cheese danish. The filling was delicious, though I do wish there was an offer to warm. I’d go back.“

“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“

“Have visited twice so far and love Maman's aesthetic and decor but even moreso the coffee, food (the Michelle sandwich!) and the pastries. Everything is simply incredible. On top of it all there is excellent customer service from Fatih and the team!“

“Had a wonderful experience grabbing a coffee here today. The store has mugs, shirts and hoodies and the theme is Everyone inclusive. Staff was lovely, even after an entitled woman demanded free items. The staff wrote a kind message in the cups. Highly recommended everyone visiting to stop in and grab a drink or snack!!“

“First off, plant people are the best people.

Second, that lox sandwich may have nee one of the best I've ever had.

Third, for getting slammed with low staff, they were champs.

Cafe U is wonderful.“

“Pub like atmosphere with an eclectic menu. Service was pretty good, and certainly helpful and friendly. The menu is somewhat like a tapas place in that the portions are fairly small and if you go hungry, you may need to order more than one. Has an outside area, heated, where you enjoy the official bird song of Washington DC - the police siren.“

“The Mule, Avocado Toast, and Scallops were very good. The prime rib was mediocre as was the mashed potatoes and squash. The service is top notch.“

“So glad that we now have a Cafe in Downtown Anacostia to meet up with community members in a open awesome space. Staff is super friendly, supportive and helpful. While there get you a large Matcha Tea latte to boost your thoughts and energy level!“

“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.“

“Amazing coffee, pastries, sandwiches and breakfast croissants. We have coffee shops in Old Town that are closer to us but make the trip to Grounded because it's that good. When my husband and I were planning our wedding, only one place came to mind for dessert to wow our guests. We didn't want a traditional cake, we wanted something that would have everyone asking us where we got the desert. The items we selected were a hit and recommend for not only visiting but catering.

The coffee shop itself is comfy and cozy. It gets busy on the weekends so make sure to go early if you want to get a breakfast croissant.

Thank you Carla & Sebastian for putting your magic touch on our wedding. We appreciate you two and your business.“

“Very good Dessert , and Rana is a very Sophisticated and respectful person. Finally, I can eat delicious sweets without flying to a very far place. Thank you Rana“

“Great coffee, good ambience and nice people :)“

“I was in a training near the 15th Street location of Zeke’s. Found it the first morning and went back every day. Shared my experience with others and we all loved it. A local was amazed at her coffee and will be a regular now. The employees were so kind and remembered my order every single day. Best dirty chai I’ve ever had! Quality coffee. Friendly employees. Great prices.“

“Great service Great coffee I highly recommend“

“Great coffee, tasty pastries. We had a very nice breakfast“

“No menus. No options for menus. No list of places. No signs saying what anyone offers (except for Linda's). Switching between eateries in a drop down is a hassle. Have not tried to food, but would not recommend solely on ordering experience. I wouldn't have had my phone out to write this review if there was any option other than QR menus“

“Omg! The mocha latte I had was really really good and strong! I’ll be back for more! Also, thanks for the mug and bag!“

“I'm visiting friends in the area and was looking for a quiet place to have coffee before starting work.
I lucked out when I found this place.
Not only did I have a great breakfast, but also an incredible cup of coffee!
I ordered The Cherry on an everything bagel to go alongside my coffee. Insanely delicious.
I'll definitely be back and hope to check out their other location before I leave.“

“The best coffee experience I have had in DC. The only recommendation I would give would be to offer a sugar free sweetener like Splenda or similar that doesn’t have an aftertaste. I understand why these places only offer Stevia, but what it means is that if I want my coffee sweet I also have to change the flavor of the coffee. And I feel like the coffee here is too good to screw it up with an aftertaste.“

“Love the Springfield location. It’s cozy and the crepes are to die for, so are the fresh cookies. You cannot go wrong with any choice off of the menu.“

“Come here to work once a week! The food is phenomenal but the service is always great. I love the manager, she’s such a true part of DC being a native and just a real authentic soul. She makes the experience 10+ betters wouldn’t come if it wasn’t for her.“

“Good pastries, good coffee drinks and alcoholic drinks. Good venue for music.“

“I LOVE ME SOME ICE CREAM. Geez.

This ice cream was so bomb! I ordered the small, 2 scoops of berries mascarpone and coffee & cookies. I also bought a push pop.

My ice cream choices were really good. The push pop was good, but it didn’t taste roasted. It also tasted old.“
