“This location is convenient however the configuration is an absolute nightmare and cluster as it is next to a Chick-fil-A. I digress lol. The AM crew here are rockstars and I've never had an issue in the years I've returned. My orders are always right, and as hunger pangs strike, they always have my pastry and/or sandwich. I was happy to see that they had the Starbucks Jeweled Tumbler 24oz in Rose Gold in stock :) Keep up the good work, Vista Gardens! Keep those smiles shining, and thank you for getting us in and out in your drive thru!“
“On a long trip, the convenience of a clean bathroom is awesome when traffic delays your expected stop. We initially stopped at Buger King, but to use the bathroom you had to have a code to unlock the door after purchasing something. I went to purchase something but no one was at the cash registers. McDonald's was by far a better experience. No code to use the bathroom. There was a cashier ready to take my order!“
“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.“
“Great find and the perfect coffee spot for the hard to please, indiscriminant coffee lovers out there in the DMV! I stumbled on this place while riding past the Union Market neighborhood the other day, badly in need of coffee. And, so glad I did. I was completely impressed with the coffee products sold here at Unido. Also, I'd argue this is probably the best place in DC for coffee, if you're into single-source and specialty coffee brews. As a first timer, I was greeted by a Barista named Louis. This guy really knew his coffee and explained the concept of the coffee products in the store. During this time, I learned that the source of the coffee products sold were from Panama in which to be frank, I had no clue that Panama even had a global coffee presence. So out of curiosity, I was interested in trying their coffee to compare my thoughts of what they had to offer to other DC coffee 'Likes' around the city such as Sidamo, Blue Bottle Coffee, Kaldi's, Compass Coffee, La Colombe, Starbucks, and even Dunkin'! Yeah, I know....doesn't take much to outperform the latter....lol. At any rate, this place won me over. I was blown away by the flavor and taste of Unido and their Panamanian coffee. In the store, I tried a Geisha Pourover. The attention to detail, the presentation of the coffee, the ceramic cup all added to a great cup of coffee and ultimately my coffee pleasure. And the coffee itself, was delicious and perfectly brewed with a flavor profile that was nutty and chocolate. I like my coffee black and this one was perfect. I also tried an Iced Americano, at the recommendation of the Barista "to-go." The iced coffee was so rich, smooth, and full of an earthy --lite caramel flavor; which speaks to the care and quality of the beans that goes into making a cup. He added a shot of Ghirardelli dark chocolate that took this cup to the next level. In all, a great find. The vibe and atmosphere is chill and relaxing. Louis, the staff member there was knowledgeable and friendly, offering great suggestions for drinks to try. If you haven't been, I would recommend Unido....it's certainly worth a stop when in the Union Market neighborhood!“

“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.“
“Super casual breakfast place- go up to the counter and order a comforting meal. Came in for breakfast and got the morning platter with French toast and bacon and a iced mocha coffee (which was good and and overly sweet!) Price point is fair and portions are filling. Leaving a picture of my toast. Sorry there is a missing slice.“
“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.“
“Swung by here from out of town. We only got an iced coffee, a mocha frappé and a cheese danish, and we were impressed! The pastry was fresh, soft and yummy, and the drinks were above expectations. The baristas were friendly, too. Peeped a few salads and they looked amazing too. Seemed a lot of people were there on coffee dates.“
“It was our first out of 2 nights in DC and I wanted to have high-quality, memorable, delicious food and that's what The Duck & the Peach provided! The ambiance felt artsy and people were dressed casually but the food was fancy and expensive. My partner and I got the duck feast and everything was tasty, particularly the duck. We are duck lovers who eat duck a lot especially from Chinese restaurants and this duck was so tender and the skin was crispy the way I like it. We also had the mint ice cream bar for dessert which was super unique, almost savory and wrapped in an edible covering but I couldn't place what the covering was made out of (maybe white chocolate)? It was an expensive meal but we also took home left overs and we would come here again!“
“Ragamuffin is a quaint little spot located in Laurel, MD. As you walk in you're greeted by friendly staff and the smell of wonderful treats. I went with a croissant and caffe latte which were delicious. This is definitely a place I can definitely visit again.“
“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!“
“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!“
“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!“
“Decided to try a new cafe, this one stood out to me once I saw the horchata latte. Upon arriving to Centrado Cafe, I noticed it was a very calm atmosphere and everywhere in the cafe had adequate space to have their conversations, chill, and get their work done. I ordered 2 iced horchata lattes and an order of churros with ice cream. The lattes came out pretty quickly but I waited close to 30 minutes for the churros. When I finally got up to ask a out them, someone was on the way to my table with them- but they forgot the ice cream. When I told the cashier the sever forgot the ice cream she quickly got me a cup of ice cream and some spoons. Overall everything was tasty, the churros were fried perfectly and there was a filling inside of them. I look forward to coming back and trying actual food but I’ll arrive earlier next time so I dont get too hungry while waiting.Parking: Small parking lot, there is some space on the side to park but there is no street parking.“
“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 menu had too many good options and I wish I could come here all the time to get through the entire menu. During this trip, we tried the ube milk and the mango yuzu black tea. Both with boba of course. The ube milk was made with real ube so it was starchy like a potato, thick like a watered down milk shake, and really delicious. It wasn't sweet to me, it felt like a dessert vs a drink. The real winner was the mango yuzu black tea. It was also made with real mango fruit puree and tasted like a mango fruit leather. Bursting with flavor from the mango and had a zing from the yuzu, it was the perfect drink for the warmer weather outside. The boba was also so soft and chewy. This was a true boba place. And it was literally ran by one guy. If I lived in DC, this would be my go to boba drink place for sure.“
“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.“
“Absolutely delicious and I didn’t even get to try their coffee but I will be back. But please if you go there try the pound cake. It’s to die for… like why is it so good how was this pound cake created so perfectly. And it’s not too sweet “
“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 :)“
“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!“
“Good coffee and nice atmosphere. I like their beans as well. I lovetheir butter croissant, I might be getting it everyday in college park. However, what is this disgrace? Do people really think a yemeni luxury item suddenly appeared in Vienna while everything in between ruled by Ottomans? It was a Turkish Luxury for years, and the western aristocracy got to experience it only after Turks lost to Vienna Siege and they went through a commoner soldier goodies. I dont think they would let a random Yemeni to Austria back then (they dont even do that right now), or a random Austrian would wander there and try local cuisine without oriental prejudice.“
“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.“
“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!!!“
“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.“
“Really enjoyed the food and vibe of this place. The staff was friendly, and the service was great. The center of the restaurant has shelves adorned by 100s of board games. I ordered the most basic breakfast and it was really good. The Americano was bold with chocolate and dark cherry notes. Delicious!“
“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!)“
“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.“
“Our visit here was truly impactful! Not only did it give us the opportunity to immerse ourselves in deaf culture, but it also allowed us to practice our ASL & teach our kids another layer of inclusion and its importance. We had a great experience. The baristas were patient, kind, and supportive - and Starbucks coffee is always great.“
“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!“
“Update: The College kids have caught on. This place is often packed with little to no seating available throughout the day. I hope they start to implement some rules for weekends to prevent solo guests from sitting at the two and four top tables while working on their laptop for prolonged periods of time.The College Park location is smaller than the Hyattsville original but there is essentially no parking in the designated lot. Park in the paid parking behind, never across the street due to strict towing there. The staff here is so nice and respectful. Despite loving the space of the Hyattsville location more I have come to prefer this location because the volume of the music is more reasonable for a conversation and the staff is more hospitable. Also the College Park location consistently serves FOR HERE items in mugs, glasses and plates. Hyattsville not so much.“
“I’ve become a regular here, after first trying their HK style signature milk tea one year ago. I am so happy that I can drink authentic tasting HK milk tea. I missed it so much after my trip to HK last year! It is like a special treat for me. The caffeine level is so strong so I can’t drink this in the afternoon or I won’t be able to fall asleep. I tried making my own HK milk tea at home but it doesn’t taste the same. I honestly have so many of Cuppa Tea glass bottles, and use them for assort storage at home, haha.My daughter also loves the egg waffles, Chinese pastries/bread. We always order the Amber fresh milk for her (it’s technically brown sugar milk minus the tea.) I ask for less brown sugar. Their oolong milk foam tea is very delicious too at 50% sweet. I like to taste the delicious oolong tea and prefer less sugar. But others might find it not sweet enough. My husband likes the mango sago and we also have 4 of those glass cups that we reuse at home as water cups now. ? pineapple bun is so good too. I usually remove the butter.Also, the manager is so awesome! She remembers my daughter’s name and her preference for clear jelly instead of pearls.When you use their app, you can get rewards. They have a buy 3 drinks get one free drink promo sometimes. Monday - Thursday, they have a buy a drink and get 50% off egg waffle. My daughter likes their matcha egg waffle the most.“
“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!“
“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!“
“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.“
“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.“
“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.“
“I do not know if Proteus is a great bike store with an excellent coffee/espresso bar or an excellent coffee/espresso bar in a great bike shop. Either way it is worth going in for a look and a taste. The coffee/espresso bar also has fresh baked goods from a local bakery. The barista was friendly and skilled.“
“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.“
“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.“
“Pros: went here for a birthday dinner/drinks and had an absolute wonderful time. The service was wonderful and we found a table quickly on Friday evening, and the place was super moody with the lights dim, but high enough that you could have have great conversation. The food selection was almost overwhelming, and everything we got from the nachos to the beef burrito to the amazing noodles were delicious. The two different types of margaritas looked good and tasted good too.Cons: no formal parking structure so you have to go on a search and destroy mission for a parking spot, which took a little bit because the streets are narrow and of course, there were lots of Ubers and things like that dropping and picking people up and car is trying to get through. But after a short walk with a few blocks, we found a spot. The nonalcoholic drink menu from the bar is definitely lacking. It's basically seltzer waters and no mock tails, but when I went up to the bar, I had more success and getting a ginger beer and I'm guessing they probably would've made a Mocktail to you just can't order it off the QR code menu.I'll definitely be coming back, it's a great spot where no reservations are needed and lots of food options are available for a smaller large party.“
“This place is consistently good. They're so good they are only 1 of the 2 cafes that survived covid. The breakfast choices and options are good. I usually get the traditional breakfast (toast, home fries, eggs and turkey sausage/bacon). They have a good looking cheesesteak sub but unfortunately don't have a chicken cheesesteak. They would be 5-stars.“
“I really enjoyed my experience at Songbyrd. I'm disabled and standing for long periods of time at concerts can be extremely painful. One of the employees set up a chair for me in the front row when the doors were opened. All the staff I interacted with were very kind and helpful. Would definitely visit again.“
“Every morning I go to pick up my coffee and my sandwich at this place because they serve me well, the coffee is excellent and the guys and girls who work there are very professional, especially the lady who serves me every morning at the window, I think She is Mexican and is very kind. I recommend it.“
