“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!“

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

“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!!“

“My friends and I had a wonderful dinner experience here. Abdullah was our server and it was obvious from the advice and explanations he gave that he was really knowledgeable and experienced. Appetizers, main dishes and drinks were delicious and enjoyable. We will definitely come back, you can ask for a good service from him. Excellent service and thank you for your interest!“

“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!“

“Natives/Tourists/Passerby- Run, don't walk to the Lot 38 coffee shop! This must be your first pitstop in Navy Yard.

Do yourself a favor and skip those gross burnt bean chains with sketchy customer service where you feel like you're interrupting them as they forget your order. IYKYK.

Instead, head over to family-owned Lot 38, opened and operated by the sweetest folks who know the Navy Yard area well. Corner of L and 2nd SE on the same side of the street as the lobby of the Courtyard Marriott and across from the park.

The espresso brews fresh and the coffee drinks are consistently a 10/10. Lot 38 has breakfast and pastry options, both breakfast and lunch sandwiches too if you need a bit more filling bite with your brew to start the day's adventure. One of the friendliest places, this shop is always hopping and a fun community atmosphere. Even when it's packed, there's not a long wait for drinks or food. If you come by long enough they start to know your name and drink order. Good place to pop by, a nice (CLEAN!) place to meet up with your friends, or come by for a tea or coffee pick-me-up at the tables upstairs.

Start your day's adventure the best way at Lot 38 :)“

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

“My husband and I had the most wonderful experience! Not only was the tea, coffee, and food incredible but the readings are surprisingly therapeutic. My husband and I had the most incredible date at this shop ❤️“

“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!“

“Spark Social House DC is the hottest new hangout spot in DC! Thank you for providing a safe environment for everyone! 🫶🏻“

“This is hands down the best cafe in the DC area. They take coffee making down to a science and do it with attitude. The ambiance is great.

It’s a big bike (bicycle) hang out spot over the weekends, lots of folks riding on the Rhode Island Ave Trolley trail divert here.

Their food options are very light but they do have decent pastries and bagels with cream cheese.

But all that other stuff aside, if you are a coffee enthusiast, you MUST check this place out. It raises the standard for coffee in the greater dc area.“

“I recently discovered nomtastickim on Instagram and her Asian restaurant reviews. I don't like American food, but I've liked everything I've eaten after seeing her Asian restaurant reviews.
I picked up three items this morning at Morning My Day. The choices were plentiful and tempting. A coconut braid-not too sweet, just perfect for early morning with coffee or tea, a curry pork sung bread that was absolutely hands down delish-heated it in the oven for 5 minutes and ate it with hot sauce, and a purple yam flower bun-delicious but know that the bread consistency might not be what you're used to? It's a very moist dense dough. The lady had a genuinely welcoming smile. The shop was easy to find. I found parking quickly. There is one table, maybe two. It's more of a carry-out place. I will be back.“

“I came here with some friends for a fun Friday night and thoroughly enjoyed my time! The vibes are great, the music was great, and the food was great too! I tried the beef skewers and the jollof rice. The service could be improved upon. We were left waiting for our waiter for very long periods of time and when my food came, I wasn’t given any silverware or napkins. Overall, I will definitely be back!“

“Lovely little cafe hidden away off the main road with amazing coffee. Tldr; if my testament isn’t enough, there is always a line here which more than shows that others besides myself love this coffee shop.

While small, the space is both well utilized and the decorations cleverly thought out. They also host a variety of community events, though I can’t yet comment on those as I’m still waitlisted 🥲.

Overall highly recommend!“

“We accidentally discovered Warka Coffee while staying across the street.

The service was fantastic—friendly, attentive, and genuinely warm. The staff made us feel right at home and were happy to guide us through the menu.

The Ethiopian coffee was truly excellent—rich, aromatic, and prepared perfectly. You can tell they take great pride in their coffee, and it really shows in the quality of each cup. The breakfast items were also delicious and made for a great start to the day.

Overall, a wonderful spot for great coffee, tasty breakfast, and a lively, welcoming atmosphere. We’re so glad we stumbled upon it and would definitely return.“

“Great place to spend time or get some work done. The Wi-Fi is strong, there are outlets available to charge your devices, and the service is smooth. The food and drinks are great, there are plenty of bathrooms, and overall it’s an ideal spot to pass time and be productive.

If you want it, I can also make it sound more like a Google review, Yelp review, or more polished/professional.“

“I am now a huge fan of Habibi lattes! My daughter and I had brunch at the Detour Coffee Cafe. and the food was amazing. We ordered the Shakshuka and the PB & J toast. Both were delicious! I am now making my own Shakshuka and hoping one day to make Habibi lattes, too. I highly recommend this place.“

“Great community coffee shop!“

“Fresh delicious and healthy! Friendly staff clean and welcoming atmosphere.“

“This is a charming locally owned café that offers exceptionally fresh food and coffee - they roast and grind their own beans on site. The atmosphere is cozy and welcoming and the owners take the time to truly greet every customer of which there are many regulars. I am thrilled to have a wonderful place to go whenever I'm in Bethesda. I've been twice so far and plan to frequent more often ❤“

“Delicious and super staff!“

“Great service Great coffee I highly recommend“

“I love the atmosphere of this place. When you enter La Cosecha, you’re welcomed by a variety of restaurants and small local businesses — it feels vibrant and creative.
But I’m focusing on Café Unido, because this coffee comes from my home country, Panama. So every time I’m in Washington, I have to stop by.

The space is filled with beautiful natural light coming through the large windows facing the street — perfect for enjoying a slow moment with a cup of coffee. The aroma and flavor are exactly what I expect from good Panamanian coffee: rich, smooth, and full of character.

I believe they could take even more advantage of how special it is to have a Panamanian coffee franchise in Washington — it deserves to be highlighted and promoted more. I truly hope they open more locations around the city so more people can experience it.

I tried the Caramel Latte, and it was delicious. If you like my pictures, give a follow on IG: @framinizingdiary“

“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“

“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.“

“I went to this coffee shop for the first time the day before yesterday and the service was impeccable I asked for a recommendation and got a fabulous one from the barista that took my order. The chicken BLT sandwich was huge and the layout of the coffee shop is very big well thought out no complaints.“

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

“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.“

“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.“

“Great place to get a coffee, great people working here and wide selection of deli/bakery items. Also right across the street from Lincoln Park, this place has been a staple for our house“

“🥰Great breakfast 😍🤩“

“Was interested in this cafe since they grind to order for drip coffee. Came here on three separate occasions and tried three different types of bean but I would say it's some what watery. Flavor was just okay but nothing noting. Service was good however.“

“Heidy was amazing!! She was really patient, we had a party of 7 and unfortunately we didn’t all get there at the same time. She gave us recommendations and didn’t rush us at all. She was very funny and nice. The food was fresh and good. This was the elisa's mediterranean harvest bowl. Would recommend!“

“The staff are super friendly and they serve food right on time. Food is fresh and sumptuous. Price is reasonable and place has a great simple and clean ambience. Definitely a must go. 💯💯💯“

“Tried this place out and loved the atmosphere and the vibe. Staff were kind and friendly. I wanted to try the cherry blossom matcha latte but they were out of it. So we tried the blueberry lavender and the mamans almond croissant latte both were nice but a little too pricey. Waffle was nice.“

“Such a great atmosphere, bites and drinks! 🙌🏽🙌🏽“

“The gelato I had was absolutely delicious! While it wasn't as creamy as Pitango's, I really enjoyed the variety of flavors they offered. I ordered a three-flavor cup and chose Black and White Cookie Batter, Dark Chocolate Fudge, and Dulce de Leche Chip. Each flavor was delightful! The restaurant was quite busy, which was a good sign considering its prime location near shopping stores and not far from Chinatown. There was plenty of seating available for customers to sit and savor their treats or coffee. Despite the crowd, the cashiers did an excellent job attending to everyone and even offered samples.“

“Had a delightful lunch today at the 41st St location. Everything was delicious and beautifully presented. The dressing on the greens that comes with the sandwiches was to die for! Atmosphere was quaint and inviting. Staff was exceptionally attentive and polite even though it was busy! We can’t wait to go back!“

“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.“

“Picked up an assortment of pastries for a staff meeting and wow, they were delicious! We tried the cheese pastry, guava croissant, pain au chocolat, pistachio croissant, cinnamon pecan roll and the Kouign Amann. They were a huge hit! It is always a joy to walk down the street to Soleluna for a midday pick-me-up! The service is always top notch. Thank you!“

“Love the latte flight! And the sandwiches are delicious!“

“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.“

“Great coffee and staff! Highly recommended!“

“Summary: if you’re looking for a place where locals and regulars come to chat and hang out and chill, this place is the spot to go to.

I have never felt so welcomed at a cafe service place like this before. I walked up and the owner was extremely happy and welcoming, asking for my name, and telling me what they had on the menu today. I drank my tea there and turns out this is a place where locals come to visit very often, the owner knows a lot of peoples names and is very friendly and easy to talk to. I usually am a very introverted person but these regulars were some of the nicest people I’ve met and they were so easy to talk to. I will definitely be recommending it to everyone I know.“

“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!“

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

“I enjoyed the most decorative meals full of nutrients and I would love to visit them ones again when I get less busy one day😊💕“
