Ordered 16oz latte, they made 12. And when I clarified I ordered 16. They poured the latte from 12oz to a 16 oz cup and add a scoop of ices. Look at how big the ice cubs are. Totally shocked by how they handle customer needs. Food is tasty, atmosphere is good.

I used to love this place quite a bit back in my student days. Great place to study or work, and indeed that's what most patrons were doing the busy afternoon I came by with a friend. Luckily there were a couple tables still open by the time we moved through the line. The guy on the register was super friendly and welcoming. 5 stars for him. The barista sadly didn't do it for me, though, as my split shot oat latte tasted simultaneously watery and a tad burnt. Not sure if that's the coffee itself or the oat milk they use (didn't note the brand). Not undrinkable but not very enjoyable. Also found it annoying that I was asked if my order was for here or to go, to which I replied "here," and listened to my dude state that to the barista, only to have my food and beverage handed to me in/on to-go cups/plates. I had my own mug with me and would have just given it to them when I placed my order if I hadn't been given the option of reusable dishes. I think the barista maybe was just having an off day? My friend received all her items for dining in, and I don't think it was personal in any way. Anyway, they have a few premade sandwich and burrito items as well as snacky pastries which is nice. Just wish my recent experience had lived up to my memory of Solstice.

I LOVE THIS PLACE. i highly recommend the veggie panini warmed up. they have amazing service, with a friendly atmosphere. (plus the bus i take in the morning takes me right to it)
Been coming here for 20+ years, but never again. The guy is beyond rude and confrontational. Too many other options in the neighborhood to have to deal with behavior.

Ordered a 8oz oat latte for $4.50. I'm no coffee connoisseur but I thought the drink tasted great and the latte art was a delight! Reasonably priced with a great taste, I recommend! Took off a star because the cafe was very noisy and a bit too dimly lit for my liking. The service was super fast, the barista basically made the drinks while the customers said their order! I'm so used to waiting at least 5 mins at Starbucks lol so this was a pleasant surprise :)
Unfortunately they gave me the most watered down flavorless chai latte I've ever had in my life. Step it up guys. The ambience is wonderful, love the vibe and music choice and everything but the poor drink quality brought down my experience.

A very good vibe, local cafe. One of the most popular one in U District.

Good coffee, good prices, cool space to hang out and get some work done. Haven't tried the food but it looks and smells delicious. I got, on the baristas recommendation, an iced oatmilk latte with honey and cinnamon. Tastes like cinnamon toast crunch! A really nice little place that's leaps and bounds more pleasant and tasty than the incredibly busy (why?) Starbucks a block away. The place is pretty much always bustling but the service is super quick. Definitely my new spot to hang out in between classes. Probably isn't a great place to do your math homework as it's a bit loud.
