If you want something different and unique, I recommend trying one of their signature drinks . I got the Cardamom Latte and it was delicious!
Good spot to people watch and they have a lot of cool art books to browse through in the window seats . I think it's best to read or hangout here. Save your work for Starbucks, home, or the office .
Best service, cafe atmosphere and the owner Cait is a doll! Oh yeah, and they also do justice by the Jedi counsel of baristas with THE BEST coffee in DC!!
Outdoor seating shines, as do the knowledgable and enthusiastic baristas. I find the café itself to be a bit dim.
Pequa yogurt , fab homemade granola and a mean Americano . cute space with indoor and outdoor seating (weather permitting).
The almond croissant was amazing..! The coffee and service is great too.
Wifi , comfy seats , a cozy vibe, and nice music . The coffee is good, too. I great place to hang out or meet someone for a quiet chat.
Best coffee shop for hanging out. Good music , low noise level, spacious inside , with outdoor seating , too. Coffee options are great. My #1 recommendation in DC.
Get the Honey Badger. Four shots of espresso , mixed in with some honey and half and half , shaken over ice. Great for a quick, tasty, refreshing pick-me-up.
Cool vibe, cool location, lame morning options, imo. No pour-overs until 11am, which I found out at 10:45am. They only had 1, boring cup of Colombian on tap. I'd like to try a pour over another time.
Grab a seat outside , ask for your drink for here, and enjoy a good book . Great ambience here.
Get a single origin cortado or Beespoke Ethiopia pour over . Excellent coffee selections.
Consistently excellent service and top-notch coffee . Whether you're a regular or a first-time visitor, you're guaranteed a warm welcome and a great cup of joe.
Very nice space. My favorite cafe interior in DC. Bar stool height chairs are not only functional but stylish . Space to walk around. Great coffee .
Like hipsters ? Like coffee ! You'll enjoy TCB.
This hidden gem is a comfy little independent coffee shop .
The dirty chai and the mocha are the best!!! Especially if they're made by Cooper or Matt!!!
Had the Mocha . Was delicious! Great drinks and vibe.
The cardamom latte and dirty chai are sooo good!!!
Ask for the "iced" cortado - 4 shots of espresso , honey , cream, shaken with ice. Delicious!
You've got to get the cortado - just perfect
Lattes are delicious! Favorite so far in the area.
A go-to for a shot of espresso when you're looking for a caffeine fix.
Crowded in waves on any weekend - but the service is fast and people are friendly .
get the 'dirty chai ' iced - it's delicious. you won't regret it.
Love their outdoor tables , latte's here are great!
Awesome and hearty biscotti ! Anise/almond/choco dipped is a-ok!
Best hot chocolate I've ever had. Milky , chocolatey , perfect amount of sweet. DAMN.
Very good coffee ! Cool "choose your own adventure" style menu.
Great place to work , with outdoor seating
Cortado + caramel wafer ftw. Good coffee and good ambience but needs more seating.

Dirty chai is a winner. Great vibe and friendly service at this coffe shop.
