Coffee Shops near Forestville

“Several times, employees and management passed by without saying hello or recognizing that I needed help. It took me ten minutes or so to ultimately get to the point where I had to ask for help loudly. When she began speaking to her coworkers in Spanish, the management remarked, "Give me a second," to which they all laughed. This kind of conduct has happened multiple times. Please try to avoid going to this site if at all possible. The food is excellent, but the way the management handles the business is terrible.“

“2/1 11:00 am. Came in and remotely worked after being a drive-thru customer a couple times.Every employee smiled, greeted and chatted with a customer at some point. Coworker collaboration was efficient and free of tension. My drink tasted great!I worked in retail for a while, so this morning team deserved 5 stars from my experience.“

“The alternative when the stand alone Starbucks across the street has wore on your patience. All is well here and they will generally have a great selection of seasonal cups. Drinks are made on the sweeter side. Not for coffee drinkers but for people who like sweet drink with a coffee taste, haha.“

“Orders are placed via phone or you can order at the counter but the tip defaults to 22%. I’m a generous tipper but am annoyed at this, esp when our server didn’t return with sugar after being asked for it or to check up on us. Otherwise, it’s a very cozy place.“

“Sidamo Coffee and Tea in West Hollywood is a true gem! The cozy atmosphere and friendly staff make it the perfect spot to enjoy a cup of coffee or tea. Their selection of beverages is extensive and always delicious, and they also offer tasty pastries to accompany your drink. It's become my go-to place for a relaxing and enjoyable break in the city. Highly recommended!Parking: It depends at what time you visit this place.“

“Solid espresso from a Slayer espresso machine and the latte art is finally getting to a high level. Delicious light roasted beans - Ethiopian level but Panamanian?Lately there's been a short line all the time so I think the place has been discovered. La Cosecha market with dozens of tables so having 10 friends meet for coffee is trivial.Now we need the full Los Unidos menu!“

“OMG, where do I start? This place is an absolute GEM. Service is incredible and the space/ambiance is top notch. Loved the music and vibe they created. Literally everything we ordered was incredible: - Goat/cheese/herb biscuit sammie: this was one of the best egg biscuit sandwiches I've ever had in my life, no joke - Turmeric labneh toast: delicious, light and unique flavors - the juice + lattes were amazing - Baked cookies: we got 3-4 varieties and they were so so so good. my favorite was the espresso chocolate cookie I can't wait to come back to DC and eat at this place again!“

“I had heard of Call Your Mother when researching good bagel places in DC. The bagels are okay - they are definitely not the chewy New York style I am used to. The everything was a bit underwhelming, however the apple cinnamon had just the right amount of sweetness. The oat latte was actually quite good; it’s a really good cup of coffee with a huge range of bagel sandwiches.Vegetarian options: You can build your own bagel sandwich and add veggies if you have specific preferences.“

“This coffee shop is worth the hype! A quick walk from the Takoma Redline station makes this place easy to get to. The cafe does get very crowded but do not let that discourage you. I tried the Chai Tea Latte which was one of the best I have had since moving back to the region. I also tried the egg, cheddar, and sausage on a Crogel. I normally do not really eat sausage because of the taste. The sausage was fresh and tasted really good. I was very surprised by the delicious taste of the sausage and by how well all the flavors went together. I can't remember what latte my partner ordered but it was also really good. I definitely recommend this cafe!“

“Finally decided to try this hidden gem. The butter rum coffee didn’t disappoint and the beignets were delish! Friendly service in a relaxing atmosphere. A nice man in line behind me saw I was indecisive so I told him he could go ahead of me since it was my first time. He was a regular, said the coffee was good and the service was great. Paid for my coffee and beignets, which was so nice of him. He even shared some encouraging words and life gems….I love talkin to older people. I was having a horrible Monday….his kind gesture made my day. I’ll definitely be going back.“

“I like this fast causal style and the atmosphere of this restaurant. Service was quick and friendly. Food and drinks were delicious. I definitely want to go again!Update 3/25/24: I ordered shrimp mofongo and emapanadas for delivery and it was fresh, flavorful and hot!“

“A Great place for coffee, beverage with some nice food options. They have a good breakfast menu including a few pastries to choose from. The happy hour menu is very reasonable. I loved to avocado & black bean toast either mesclun salad, cojito cheese and two poached eggs. The service is always good.“

“Such a hidden gem! I had their pecan latte, which has actual pecan pieces in the drink. So creative! Limited pastry options, they do have vegan options. The vibe is cozy and cute, would love to come back to try their dinners/food and alcoholic drinks.Street parking available.“

“Mixture Food Hall offers a variety of vegan foods, desserts, drinks, organic supplements, oils & herbs, play areas, arcade machines & including sport TV monitors, seating areas,180° bar area, upperstairs lounge space, 5 individual restrooms, parking space. The only downside was that baby strollers couldn't be rolled into from sidewalk & had to lift up the stairs. The art moral could be used for a photo background.Vegetarian options: They offered Musa's fried oyster mushroom sandwiches & a variety of sides; tacos qucidillas; bar beers & drinks; burgers; wings & salads. My son didn't like Musa food due to too salty fried oyster mushrooms & salty fries were overcooked. The wait staff was professional; followed food safety guidelines & customer service oriented.Parking: Small to mid-size cars & suvs use space but tight parking spaces.Kid-friendliness: They offered a play area including a table & 4 metal kid chairs with educational toys & games; a loga board game, arcade machine & shooting arcade game.“

“We stopped here to get coffee and a sweet treat and ending up getting the orange blossom croissant and morning bun, which was so good! We also got some baklava for some friends and family, which came in these really cute yellow tin box- a perfect gift!“

“This place is busy so I recommend making a reservation.The food was great and our server Jasmine was thorough with helping me as a first timer. The pastries were delicious. She said they change them every week, compliments to the chef for being able to come up with so many great ideas. The citrus milk punch was interesting and worked well. Spinach omelette was good but it definitely lacked meat, glad that my server recommended getting bacon on the side. I can’t wait to try them for dinner.“

“Chocolate pistachio croissant - 5 stars. so good and will be returning for this. Any place that has pistachio pastries is a place for me. Morning bun - very flavorful (cardamom & lemon) but a bit too dry for me. 3 stars Espresso & tonic - I did not like this at all, and will definitely get a safer drink option next time. There was a line at 130pm which I was surprised about, but it moved very quickly and we had no trouble finding a seat. Cute place, will be returning!“

“Went here with vegan friends and we all had the vegetarian sampler. The food was absolutely scrumptious. The staff were gracious and lovely and the atmosphere was very pleasant with really nice music playing. I highly recommend this restaurant! We'll definitely be coming back!“

“The service is amazing, especially from the long time staff members. We are chronically waited on my the same man, and he is always lovely and ensures everything is to standard. Also, where else can you go with friends that all like different cuisine? Everyone orders their choice, and it can range from sushi, to tacos, to pizza, to burgers, to pasta… the list is endless. We were so excited when the Roost moved in on Penn Ave, and we’re just as excited today as we were on day one, if not, more so. Please give the Roost a try if you’re ever in the DMV area! You will NOT be disappointed!“

“Everyone who loves high quality coffee loves this place. I’m not even a coffee drinker, and I get their coffee because it’s so good. I LOVE the grilled chicken pesto panini sandwich, and it always hits the spot. When I have out of town visitors, this is a spot I can take them that never disappoints. Everyone leaves here happy.A few weeks ago after a workout class I heard a woman talking with another woman about getting some coffee. They were trying to find a new coffee place to go to after the class ended, and one suggested Lot 38 because her friend hadn’t been there yet. After mentioning Lot 38, three other women, who were not even in the conversation, overheard and jumped in to rave about how good Lot 38 is! I think this single interaction really demonstrates how loved this place is.“

“Just around the corner from Jam Doung Style Jamaican food spot is an art and coffee lover's dream that is Creative Grounds DC. This shop is nestled among the historical row houses that make this area of DC quaint and beautiful. Accessibility is accommodating with a ramp just beyond the spacious patio.Inside, plants stand and hang in the bay window where you can drink coffee and draw snuggled on a velvet green couch. New and used books stand in the other bay window while local artists' works hang on the gallery-like walls all around.Inspiration lay on the beautiful long and wide wooden table in the form of thick art books and viney plants enticing you to stay a while and absorb culture and color. While Bob Marley sang about three little birds, I happily pulled out my small sketchbook drawing and sipped on a special lavender and honey with lemon drink, at peace.Should you be a lover of art, DC's unique architecture, and coffee, this is one gorgeous place to visit!Wheelchair accessibility: A ramp is available to accommodate walkers and wheelchairs.“

“Oh my gosh, I just decided to come here on a random day to do work and the staff are amazing. They are so attentive but not in an uncomfortable way and it's really such a nice experience. I have never enjoyed working at a cafe as much as I have enjoyed working at this one today! AMAZING STAFF!!! oh and the drinks are great too :)“

“After sampling half of their menu over the last year, I can finally say that Spot of Tea has officially solidified its spot as my go-to boba spot in DC. This humble little stall tucked in the back of Union Market has it all -- a delicious and perfectly crafted menu, friendly and efficient service, and simple yet adorable decor that creates a calming space in the middle of Union Market's bustle.They have a great selection of teas that includes both classic favorites like Thai tea or your basic milk tea, but also a smattering of exciting new flavors / seasonal specials like mango hibiscus or calamansi ginger. If you're anything like me and struggle to make even the most basic of decisions, their menu also features decision guides, listing out caffeine levels, flavor profiles, and a one-line "why you should pick this drink" for quickly comparing between different options.Regardless of which drink you choose, Spot of Tea is sure to satisfy any craving, whether it's for something rich and milky, fruity and refreshing, or just straight-up caffeine. It'll also include some of DC's best boba pearls, with the perfect chewy, QQ texture (or lychee jelly if you'd prefer). I also love that they default to using oat milk for all their drinks at no extra charge, although you can request a switch to dairy milk if you'd prefer.While it's hard to pick a favorite from their phenomenal menu, a few stand-outs are:- Mango Hibiscus (great for cooling down on a hot summer day)- Mango Yuzu Black Tea (great for cooling down on a hot summer day...but also with caffeine)- Hot Black Sesame Latte (who needs hot chocolate when you can have a rich, piping hot cup of black sesame latte / milk?)In addition to their teas, they also create a delicious oat milk soft serve. You can either get matcha, black sesame, or a swirl of the two flavors -- my personal preference is always the swirl, but both flavors are great on their own as well. You would never guess its dairy-free from how rich and creamy it is, and their ice cream is the perfect level of sweetness, with the slightly bitter matcha and nutty sesame seeds breaking through the sugar.All in all, I truly can't recommend Spot of Tea enough -- absolutely swing by to give their teas and soft serve a shot!“

“Pretty crowded on Saturday afternoons, but that's to be expected. There were several tables to sit at and fortunately, it didn't take me too long to find something. They get their beans from Small Planes (one of my favorite DC coffee roasters) and their Honduras pour over (for 5.00) was smooth and enjoyable. I also got a chocolate croissant (for 6.00) to pair with it which was quite tasty. Overall, solid coffee and pastries here and the atmosphere was lively. Also, Capitol Hill is a great neighborhood to visit and enjoy a snack/coffee break!“

“Another local gem for getting coffee and pastries. Vigilante Coffee (Hyattsville) is spacious but cozy and full of energy by the friendly staff, baristas, managers, and customers. I visited this past Sunday, St. Patrick's Day and the place had a beautiful Celtic atmosphere with live music by Abbie Palmer and Agi Kovacs. They were wonderful and so friendly and personable.I had a delicious oat milk Flat White with a Honey Pistachio Kouign Amann pastry.“

“the doughnuts! OMG lots of selection on teas. the music was a bit too loud inside for me and had some profanity in the lyrics , but otherwise it was very clean facility and i will definitely be returning : )Parking: Lots of parking available.“

“Expensive Pastrys and expensive Coffee great Place to hang out if your going to Law School... Managers and Staff are polite.. Service is Good they Have Breakfast there the place is Busy and it's of a Major intersection in Washington D.C 4 Blocks Over near the Capital.... Everything Taste Good... And the Bathrooms are very Clean... Place is Run correctly with Nice and Attractive People..“

“I had a GERDS attack last night and needed real food to comfort my tummy. Guys the soup and jasmine rice soothed my tummy and the food taste absolutely Great!! This was not my first time here, but I thought I needed to say if you want FOOD, not boxed stuff come here!!!“

“Coffee was excellent but what sold it for me was the service. They made sure my coffee was exactly what wanted: sweetness, enough milk, etc. I was a to go order and the gentleman working the front was still very attentive. I will be returning :)“

“Really cute vibes, decent coffee, but super slow service and the sausage egg sandwich I got was mid at best. Went on a Sunday at noon and had no issues getting a table which is great, but was really disappointed to have to wait 30 mins for a mediocre sandwich. Also the menu is super limited and pastry items run out fast. Will try the kimchi sandwich next time.“

“The coffee drinks served by this place are reasonably good, albeit a tad bit pricey. In addition, the atmosphere of this coffee shop is seemingly laid-back, mellow, jovial, and ultra low pressure. My only complaint is the lack of variety in regard to the sweetners for the coffee.“

“My first time in Washington D.C., I got off at Union Station. It took me about 5 minutes to walk to the store. The first time I saw the store I was very impressed. The atmosphere inside the shop is very good. My boyfriend ordered an Americano. I ordered a latte and it was delicious.“

“Fairly frequent (weekly) coffee (Ethiopian) & samosa (pastry w/lentil filling) cafe; friendly and welcoming owners and clientele. I have not had the other selections but others do and enjoy. Prices, quality & portions are good. Stop in and support local small business.“

“I love my compass coffee! The staff is always super friendly and listens carefully to my orders. The seasonal cherry blossom cold brew was so yummy and they always have something fun to try. The espresso is rich and you are definitely drinking quality coffee here! I will be coming back for sure.“

“The white mocha was incredible. The default tip numbers on the iPad were a touch on the high side, I'd prefer they just pay and charge me more for the coffee. Not gonna fault them for a now-ubiquitous experience, though.Parking: Lots of parking (can only speak for Sundays!)“

“Came to the area for a different restaurant but they were closed. Happen to find this place within walking distance. Things happen for a reason. Welcoming staff, quaint dining area and amazing food. Will definitely be a stop on our next ride out.“

“Delicious breakfast blt and pastries. Generously sized blt. Excellent, speedy service. Great atmosphere for a quick bite or to study. The sweeter, more elaborate coffee options and horchata looked very tempting. I'll have to try them next time.“

“I moved to the area in March 2023. When I discovered this place, I was thrilled. It reminds me of being back in Brooklyn, NY. It is such a cute neighborhood shop with great coffee, gourmet sandwiches, baked goods, other provisions, etc...I am in love with their tuna salad!! I love how they know me when I walk in...great customer service!“

“Not go, run to this place.Originally I was looking for some cafe to sit, work a bit and relax before my train.Found this place that has happy hours for wine and beer. Got myself Spanish lager and they also had Czech lager.I love the atmosphere of The Ministry, everyone is super friendly and relaxed.Ended up sitting, drinking and chatting there until it closed and I rushed to get my train back home LOL“

“First visit to a Peet's coffee shop. I've had their coffee at other places but never their own establishment. Customer service was great from the start. The barista asked what kind of coffee I typically like. I told him I like to try new things. He made me a hot dirty vanilla chai. It tasted fantastic. I came here to study and they have plenty of room to do just that. Outlets everywhere including throughout the floor, so no problem scoping that out when you walk in and come with an uncharged laptop. After an hour of studying, I ordered my second drink and some sustenance. This time I ordered a hot hazelnut latte, extra hazelnut and a hot ham & cheese sandwich, extra crispy. It tasted perfect and was not skimpy on the ham or cheese. It's a rainy Saturday afternoon and the people here definitely came to get some work and studying done. It's quiet, the music is just the right volume, and the barista even brought my orders right to me. I'll definitely be back!“

“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.“

“This is an awesome coffee shop! The staff was friendly and provided quick service. The cardamom muffin was fantastic, and Wydown had some of the best coffee in the city! The location wasn’t enormous, but it had enough seating for everyone that visited when we were there. If you like coffee, make sure to visit Wydown!“

“This was the most awesome Starbucks I had ever been to, I think they are all Galludette students, and they are doing a great job in this location. Everyone was super nice and patient. They gave me a tablet to write down my order. They are so gracious. Thank you everyone their made my day!Wheelchair accessibility: Yes wheelchairs welcome“

“We stopped here for lunch because it was dog friendly, but that's only outside on the patio so thankfully we found a small table available. We ordered at the counter and they gave us a marker so they could bring the food to us. I ordered the Brussels sprout salad and added falafel. This salad was so amazingly delicious. I love roasted Brussels sprouts, and this hit the spot and was surprisingly filling. However, I wish there had been some other items in there to add some variety to the dish. My husband got the southwest salad and that came with chicken chorizo, black beans, cheese and avocado and he enjoyed it and it was also very filling. Very good and would recommend this restaurant.“

“I went back after months not coming because I felt like their boba teas wasn’t worth it. I recently order online for pick up and the boba tea is good, but I wish there were descriptions of what goes into the drinks in the case of an food allergy.“

“This cafe was a great location for a cheap and quick bite. The service here was fast as it is just counter service and my food came out hot and quickly. The omelette was really great and definitely worth it for the price, however the potatoes were cold and not tasty. The seating inside is quite limited but there is a nice small cafe vibe. I would definitely visit Le Bon again but would opt for a side other than the potatoes.“

“First time here, only 2 vendors during the week one with West Africa food and the other Latin. The hall is pretty big with a bar and a smaller space for a vendor with Vegetarian dishes. On weekends other vendors come in. Tables for dining, WiFi available too. Taco Tuesday here so that's what l had 3 tacos for eleven bucks l had one chicken, one beef, and one pork served with a fresh garnish along with 2 sauces. Completely fresh and savory. Very small however. So check out the portions before you buy. I was hungry that day and had to go home and make a sandwich. lol all in all a nice place.“

“I had the Hall n Oats Cold brew....i wanted the awesome banana pudding but it has been discontinued .... i am sooo upset. I also live in Lake success NY and would love to have a Gregorys local there are sooo many great spots available!!! Please open by me i hate starbucks!!!!“

“We were greeted right away by the employees on this afternoon. Really enjoyed coming inside from the snow and getting unique, flavorful coffees - we tried a latte, single origin pour over and the chicory blend. All delicious, perfect temperature and served quickly. Shop was clean and enough room to find a spot to sit. I think they were out of pastries but we had stopped by the Souk x Sweet Lobby location at Union Market beforehand.“

“There are some hard-working and talented ladies behind that window of beautiful deliciousness. And it shows! Everything was phenomenal. 100% worth the wait in the weekend rush, too! I had the chorizo, the rosemary-fig tart, and the peach-sesame kouign-amann. Life-changing. Every bite. After a bite of their kouign-amann, I threw away the (more expensive) quiche/pastry I'd grabbed from Eastern Market and replaced them with Souk's. Serious upgrade.“
