Foxtrot

Cute and convenient corner store cafe carrying a wide variety of local and unique goods, including an impressive ice cream and beer/wine selection. Definitely on the pricier side but you pay for the convenience of it. I’d rate their coffee and beverages 3 stars but gave it 4 for the ambiance and clean, well-lit atmosphere. A great study spot.

Taking up an expensive piece of corner real estate in DC's Georgetown area (Wisconsin Ave NW and N St NW), their easy and accessible front door and somehow soothing and simplistic designed space caught my peripherals as I enjoyed a slow stroll during Georgetown's Spring Art Walk. Art, intriguing creations, spilled from the many art galleries and antique shops, out the doors, some down steps to the sidewalks on either side of Wisconsin Ave. Spring is here but today's gusty winds and low temperature had Winter not wanting to go into that good night. My over-ears headphones did double duty as ear muffs, my corduroy leggings and long faux fur scarf to go with my long coat were wise fashion choices against the blustering weather. Feeling a little like Goldilocks, I passed a few cafes that didn't fit me until I stumbled across a seemingly oasis from the unrelenting grip of cold weather. I needed something hot in my stomach to warm what I thought was cold blood flowing in my veins. The space is built so well, a combo of small market and coffee and Internet cafe with a niche wine cellar, hot finger foods with a soaring ceiling and inviting seating. Abundance of electric outlets for those of us that still need to plug in their charger(s): I rolled in with my electric scooter, tucking it under the high top counter by the window wall. While it juiced up, I put in my order for a hot coffee. I also wanted to splurge on a warm muffin but had to settle for an oversized chocolate chip cookie to go with my beverage. After testing the hotness of my coffee, again my Goldilocks wanted what she wanted and that was something hot to drink. I asked the young man at the register - I so wish I had gotten his name - if I could please get a coffee that was hot (and not lukewarm I was thinking). His customer service was so wonderful in that he helped me by asking if I wanted it steamed. I did not know that I could have asked for that originally and added pretty please (out loud) with appreciation. Literally could feel my mind file away that jewel for the next time want hot coffee and patiently waiting, I bit into the cookie. It's warm goodness took me by another pleasant surprise. Armed with warm cookie and steaming coffee, I enjoyed both at the window wall daydreaming and drawing in my sketchbook. Of the baby leaves sprouting and of the cherry blossom petals dancing on the wind. My toes were straight up curled in satisfaction from the warmth inside me and surrounding me. The Sun finally glowing through clouds, the rain clearing away and the winds blowing everything shiny. I felt as happy as a fox trotting to its warm den after a good hunt.

Found a place that has a lot of my favorite local/niche brands under one roof! Nice wine selection a decent selection of canned beer and cider (suggestion: need more sours) I also tried the ‘veggie tartine’ and it was a nice small dish packed with flavor. The location is also immaculately clean and has great ambiance with convenient outlets if you dine-in with USB ports on them.

I go here almost every day! I love that I can snack on avocado toast and drinks while studying and then also grab some groceries before I leave. The inside is bright and clean with a nice aesthetic, and the employees seem to like each other and their managers which is always a green flag. Sometimes the service is slower on weekends, but it’s because they’re slammed (Good luck finding a place to sit on Saturday/Sunday). The food is all high quality with plenty of healthy options! I highly recommend their avocado toast, chicken salad sandwich, chicken noodle soup, and Mediterranean turkey bowl.

This place is a combo high-end bodega and coffee shop. There’s a good amount of seating, both bar and bistro. They have some outdoor seating as well. Coming from Texas, I was excited to see breakfast tacos on the menu, especially migas. However, fellow Texans, be prepared to be disappointed. I should’ve known better, but my excitement overpowered any sensibility. The taco is tiny…think more taquito size but with a flour tortilla. The migas…laughable. The taste itself was okay but no crunch whatsoever. They have little 1oz containers of hot sauce at the register. It was decent. Please save yourself the $3.75 and order something else. I also tried one of their seasonal lattes, tiramisu. Pretty good. Their alternative milks are oat, almond, and soy for an extra $0.75.

Amazing spot in beautiful Georgetown. Spacious inside and tables outside. Very good prices compared to other coffee shops in the same street. Wifi fir free. A perfect place to study. The staff at the counter a bit rude though.

Upscale market and café offering healthy grab and go food, wine, and made-to-order items. I ordered a farro veggie bowl that contained broccoli, tomatoes, and goat cheese. Throughout the market, there’s a variety of pre-made items, munchies, and ice cream. The café offers a variety of coffees and one can also order wine. Indoor and outdoor seating is available. The meal we had tasted great and the service was excellent.

Love the foxtrot brand and have been slowly making my way around the city getting to visit them all. Absolutely love the sugar free vanilla lavender non fat latte and get it when it’s particularly sunny. They have other great flavors Available as well and are cheaper than Starbucks for better quality. Definitely love spending my study sessions here as there’s plenty of hot foot, snacks, and drink options. Love the market/café aesthetic that they’ve captured

This is the best foxtrot location in the DC/Virginia location since it's spacious and has ample outdoor sidewalk seating unlike the newest location on King St in Old Town. Service is great and selection of quick bites and drinks are great. Update 1/2024 I still like the location but the Georgetown venue is in need of a refresh since tables are wearing down due to high use location. I've been to the Foxtrot in wicker park in Chicago and one of the ones in downtown Chicago and they are still up to par in terms of furnishings.

The food is overpriced. Sometimes the produce is old, for example, stale potato chips, salads that are The salads can be old and limp lettuce. Bought 2 sourdough breads as a gift. One was ok, the other one was burned and not eatable. Poor management. Dirty tables. Unfriendly staff, with an exception for the longstanding staff. The CS is sloppy and inconsistent. There are a few people that are helpful and knowledgeable, but the new hires are not . The membership is a joke. you pay more and get less. Overall OVERPRICED AND INCONSISTENT CS. OLD SALADS AND STALE CHIPS.

Picked up a Too Good to Go order and everything was disgusting and old. This Chicken Farro Bowl tastes old and stale. I also got an avocado veggie roll and the avocado is completely brown. I also got the Treats bag that consisted of 4 ginormous donuts. Too bready and dense. Staff was uninterested in helping and seemed miserable to be there. They had blank looks, were very unfriendly and the whole experience was unpleasant. Will never go back What a huge waste of money

They do not take cash, nowhere, is it mentioned on the windows, on their website, next to the cash register. I waited in line with my stuff, and ordered a beer, my phone was dead, so I could not pay credit.

While this was a surprisingly good croissant, and a competitor for some of the bakeries in the area, the service and coffee were just okay. The staff were pretty nonverbal and not welcoming, which I've noticed a few times here. The coffee was also okay, definitely not bad but not my first choice with all of the other coffees in the area. They have a wonderful selection of snacks, drinks, etc., including homemade treats, but they're definitely on the pricier side.

This place is super clean, has TONS of healthy snack choices, makes fresh juice, and the staff are friendly and helpful. A breath of fresh air downtown for good snacks.

I really am obsessed with foxtrot. I love the mini market, cafe vibe. Grab and go meals for an easy lunch. Cafe bites, and unique healthy treats. I love that they have a single person bathroom (which is pretty large). I love their selection overall. Love their breakfast tacos. I have seen a lot of reviews saying the service is rude/unfriendly, but I think they're all nice just move with a fast passed new york attitude. I recommend getting the app for quick checkout and free cafe drinks. don't get their smoothies - they aren't fresh at all and just come from a plastic package in the freezer. *pics coming soon*

We were looking for a spot to grab a table and get some work done. I had been wanting to check out foxtrot because their seasonal drinks for fall were very popular. I got their iced pumpkin pie latte which normally comes with cookie butter whipped cream and ground biscoff cookies on top. The latte was good and a nice balance of sweet. My friend got their chai latte. When we first came in all the tables were taken, but after coming back about 15 minutes later we were able to grab one and get some work done. There's free Wi-Fi and the tables are spacious with outlets as well. I didn't check out their grocery section as much this time, but from what I saw they have snacks and a good selection in the fridge and freezer sections.

Foxtrot is a cute cafe to study and grab a quick bite at. I love to study here, and while I haven't tried the food, the matcha latte is solid. I prefer unsweetened matcha, and appreciate that I can choose the sweetness level here. I'd return to try their food options.

Cute atmosphere and nice merch but that's about it. Maybe I came at a bad time but no one on staff looked like they wanted to be there. They didn't even say hi or "next customer" they just looked at you like you were supposed to know to just start talking. You could tell that whoever was on the espresso machine just did not care about what was happening or what they were making. All the ingredients to my drink were there, but it was barely drinkable. I ordered a mocha but felt like I was drinking chocolate lava. The shot was so over extracted that it didn't even taste like espresso. The chocolate taste was there... which was nice. Although the staff treated us poorly, it's a clear indication that no one there is happy and management really needs to understand why.

The smoothies here are $9 each but it was the perfect refreshing drink on a hot day like this. My friends and I walked from Courthouse to Georgetown and were in desperate need of something to drink, like a smoothie. We decided to all try the "Desert Detox Smoothie" since it had interesting fruit choices such as "cactus pear" along with fancy superfoods like "Irish moss" and "burdock root" - both we've never heard of in our entire lives. Sure, splurge a bit on a smoothie, why not? I like that they let you decide on your choice on milk here. I got almond milk since it was the thinnest choice and it ended up making my smoothie more liquid-y similar to the consistency of a slushie, which is exactly what I wanted! I thought the smoothie was refreshingly sweet (and very bright pink) with lots of fruity notes and flavors. My friends got the soy and oat milk options, which made the smoothie much thicker (really depends on what you want). Definitely not something I'd splurge on often, but worth a try and will definitely come back to try other smoothie options!

Ok experience. Ok. Coffee. Ok decor. I'm in no hurry to go back. There are better cafes in Georgetown. Sad that they wouldn't put coffee in my thermos. They have a rule where they can't bring it behind the counter. Could have saved a paper cup.

One bathroom 6 people in line! No bathroom tissue nor paper towel. Was also told matcha will take 15 minutes. Want bad service go here

Foxtrot is a high-end grocery store that sells fine wine, craft beer, coffee, fresh made meals, and gifts. They have multiple locations in the DMV - Bethesda, Dupont, Farragut Square, Georgetown, Mount Vernon, Old Town Alexandria, and Rosslyn. I went to pick up snacks for a welcome home package. They were pricey but of good quality.

You've came to artisanal grocery spot when you look at the fridge and you see-almond milk, oat milk, macadamia nut milk, walnut milk but regular milk. LOL Foxtrox definitely defines DC with all the local products it has to offered. It is also a gathering spot for a quick coffee or recharge.

They need some real managers who take ownership of this store. Nobody seems to care. They aren't that busy. But always dirty & staff just standing around like zombies. Everything is the owners' fault. Hire the right people. Pay your management team well. So, they stay. Too many staff turnovers. And sad thing is that the Georgetown location still better than the other hellish locations. THINK SMARTER. WORK HARDER.

I had the prepackaged Oreo Rice Krispie from here and it was so amazing. Insane sugar & calories but it's good to treat yourself. 10/10 recommendation for a treat!

The service is sometimes good, but other times it's atrocious. I live in Georgetown so I go in everyday, I know who's new and who's not. Today, I tied to order a half calf vanilla latte from an older white lady. she said "we don't do half calf" in the nastiest tone. I told her, I've ordered half calf from here for YEARS. She told me I was still wrong and was extremely rude. Shoutout to the short black woman who works there who is the absolute sweetest ever and makes a great cup of Joe. The lady I ran into today made a horrible cup of coffee and was rude while doing so.

Smoothies are okay but prefer to just go to foxtrot for a snack and maybe coffee. Smoothies are kind of watery to me. I like the set up for doing work, a good amount of seating and outlet.

I wouldn't come here for coffee if you're a coffee snob, but the indie/local snacks are quite nice. For example, I'm pretty sure they get their donuts from the same bakery as Astro Doughnuts, but Foxtrot is a lot more conveniently located for me. They also have Chipkick cookies so I can buy one at a time rather than needing to buy a bunch from Chipkick directly to make the shipping cost worth it. They have a fun variety of ice cream including Dolcezza gelato.

I used to love foxtrot, but their management or something must have gone downhill since expanding because service is now so bad- rude, inconsistent, and an almost McDonald's-like "sorry our kitchen is closed" "sorry we aren't serving that" "sorry our machine is broken" routine. They advertise a menu everywhere in the store, but arbitrarily close the kitchen and cafe without warning. I waited in line for 20+ minutes when I could have just grabbed ready-made food, but there was no sign or anything indicated the kitchen would be closed at 5:30pm on a weekend. The cashier today didn't look up, mumbled, didn't respond to any questions, and was borderline annoyed that we were there. Foxtrot- improve your model before expanding!

On a corner just off Georgetown's M Street NW comes a Chicago-based market focused on the next generation. When you walk inside, it plays off all the latest trends- Instagram-worthy corners, local products, hanging plants and an app that deliveries goods to your house within an hour (unless you live East of the River- it's "outside their delivery area"). During the pandemic, they ask customers enter masked and social distance. Despite that, the space is pretty tight and the aisles narrow so it's hard to keep a distance. They also have a few tables set up inside for people to stay. For those who want to eat outside, there are a few small tables and heaters outside on the sidewalk. The cafe brews Vigilante coffee and sells breakfast items, sandwiches, etc. I grabbed an elote avocado toast and to my surprise, it was big and came with three slices of half toast slices! My latte was decent. They sell locally made products and a wide variety of products from peanut butter to coffee beans to ice cream. The wine section is on point and well organized.

I'll definitely come back but when they first open for the day as I've been reading they do run out of stuff. My boyfriend and I first stopped by one evening to take a peak and it was totally in Dean and Deluca vibes (#memories). They have so many unique boutique grocery items to choose from, as well as, some ready made items to eat, a couple of vegan options as well! We ended up walking away with a ready made Mapo tofu bowl, awesome Dutch and French cheese, Van lewen ice cream and two frozen vegan burritos. Their bag aesthetic is on point also. The next day, we can around 8:30 am to grab breakfast, coffee and some scrabble play. They have a nice little seating area that's socially distanced appropriately. I will say some seating areas get surround with long lines due to the limited space in the store. But everyone is trying to space themselves appropriately. They do offer delivery, but haven't tried it yet. Maybe something for a rainy day. Honestly, come by and have a look. They have fun boutique grocery store items but if you want a coffee, walk across the street to Café Georgetown.

When I was a little girl my parent owned a convenience store which meant that I am very well-versed on gas station-esque snacks of the '90s. My recent trip to Foxtrot market brought me straight back to my after-school days of browsing the aisles of Express Mart USA, searching for the latest Hostess snack to sample. Foxtrot is nothing like the convenience stores of yore -- it definitely appeals to my older bougier tastes with snacks like roasted lotus seed nuts and $10 animal crackers. The aisles carry everything you would need for a snack run PLUS wine, beer, and gifts like candles, flowers, CBD oil, etc. Honestly, it doesn't get any more convenient than that! The cafe portion also has a variety of toasts and breakfast sandwiches to try plus a coffee program with locally roasted Vigilante coffee. There is some cute seating areas both inside and outside and I was pleased to see that they kept up with checking vaccination cards when you placed your order. This convenience store + boutique + cafe concept works really well for my elder millennial life and I hope that they consider bringing it to Northern Virginia because I can see it doing really well in the area!

obsessed with this little market. definitely not a spot for regular grocery shopping but amazing for picking up little items. every time i visit this place, they have the newest drinks and snacks like this kin euphorics beverage that i've seen all over instagram! cannot recommend this place enough.

Know what to expect and then you would enjoy this place. It's great for coffee and a simple bite. The cafe ambiance is great for working or studying during weekdays but I'm sure over the weekends, it's going to be busy and packed. I had an avocado toast in their citrus option. The fruits are either canned or overnight and dehydrated. Great staff. Charging ports everywhere in the shop.

Help me understand the rules here. I buy my drink and sit down. Remove my mask. I am approached by the guy from the counter and handed a mask. (Touching the mask with your bare hands voids the whole point, btw). There are 5 out of 8 people seated unmasked, enjoying their drinks. Plus folks just sitting and talking. No beverage or food. And then an older lady approaches the counter and orders without even having a mask. He didn't say a word to her about masking up. This was my second visit and probably my last.

My wife and I went in this morning and had really a poor experience. The two ladies at the front desk were extremely rude and clearly have no future in a customer facing business. They were brusque and showed zero warmth, even of the feigned variety. To add insult to injury, the expresso we ordered - by one of these same ladies - was made atrociously and we had to throw it out. After our experience, we'd encourage management to reconsider their Sunday morning staffing.

I was so eager to try out this new market when I saw that it was coming to Georgetown. Parking is always a little tricky over here, but that was my only real downside. The inside of the market is a pretty nice size, although smaller than I was expecting. There was a large selection of specialty grocery items and wine. They also had a counter to order food and drinks or there was pre-made food. For food: I got the Thai tofu curry bowl... it was pretty good, lots of carrots and rice and the tofu was a little chewy but it had good flavors. My friend got one of the sandwiches and he enjoyed it. For grocery items: I got to try out "Smart Sweets" which I have been looking forward to. They carry Van Leeuwen's ice cream and Jeni's ice cream and WOW!!! First, I love Jeni's but I had never tried VL's before and I was so blown away. I haven't found it in any other grocery stores so it is nice to know it is here for a decent price. (Highly recommend the chocolate oat milk cookie dough crunch with honeycomb-- vegan and literally the best ice cream I have ever had). They also have Levain cookies. BASICALLY a sweet lovers dream. Everything was super well priced in my opinion for speciality items. Staff was also very helpful and sooo friendly. What a nice new spot... can't wait for my next trip!

Definitely a bougie-er cafe/market, but I enjoyed my time here a lot!! I love that they use Vigilante coffee, a local source. I got a Vanilla Latte, and it was perfect. All the employees were super cool and friendly! They were also pretty helpful and efficient on a busy Sunday afternoon. I do love that they give you $25 when you download the app and more money as you keep spending and referring people. It's a good loyalty/rewards program! The market has a unique selection of things. It's more pricey, but can be worth it since you may not be able to find them as easily anywhere else. Got to try some United Sodas of America and some of their sour gummies which were all delicious.

The surly gentleman behind the counter this afternoon wearing his mask under his chin was over having to repeat the coffee syrup flavors. He couldn't roll his eyes hard enough when I asked him to tell me what they had. I would have gladly read them myself if they were printed somewhere. I couldn't get the QR code menu to open. The latte was decent and strong, but not worth the attitude. The cherry macaron was pretty but overly sweet, and the creme brulee donut is tasted off somehow. Next time, I will walk up the street 150 feet to Compass where I usually go and get much more friendly service.

Awesome selection, nice people, lovely food. Really a good spot for a quick bite, some light grocery shopping, beverages or whatever. Wish we had one in Boston

I got an avocado toast that was generously topped with bacon and other assorted toppings and sauces! The market was fun to wander around in while waiting for my order. Seemed to carry a good variety of local and national brands. The vanilla almond latte was very rich and the right amount of bitter and sweet! I would recommend stopping in this place for a quick bite or to do a small,fun grocery shop.

My Airbnb host recommended Foxtrot to stock up on some provisions for my stay and I'm delighted they did. Cheese boxes, wines, lovely salad/grain bowls, and lots of upscale sweet and salty offerings.

Excellent coffee, I had the most subtle oat milk latte I've had in years, perfect foam, and paired excellently with a fresh crème brûlée doughnut. The service was very friendly, and the entire vibe was clean and fun, and calm.

Went there for their avocado toast. It was perfect. The staff is friendly and the food was delicious!

I agree with the 2 review about service. The atmosphere is dull and doesn't foster a culture of rest or service or togetherness. When I first visited foxtrot with my girlfriend in Georgetown when it opened it was a place full of life. The team members were happy to be there, focused, and clearly part of a new brand. Foxtrots values seemed clear. It was a "not your average corner store". It was a place where a student could go to study and be serious, tourists could happily grab supplies, and a couple could stop in and still feel the magic of their day while sipping coffee. Now it feels like cheap consumerism. Littered with "foxtrot" trinkets but without any foxtrot identity. I love coffee shops and I used to really love this one. Would be great to experience what you were doing in the beginning again.

Stopped in here for opening week and there were so many great snacks and food here! Definitely on the pricier side (some products were definitely overpriced compared to what you can get up the street at Safeway), but their app allows for $10 referral codes. Will definitely come here for specialty items and snacks. They have great brands including Minor Figures, Olipop, Stumptown, and Jeni's ice cream stocked up. Great selection of wines as well! Their app seems really easy to use and looks nice as well.

Update your hours.. customers show up at 0815 thinking they'd be open at 0700 like the website says.. was told the cafe opens at 0930??

I seldom write reviews but I feel compelled to write this one (for all the right reasons). Moved to Georgetown a few months ago and somehow missed this place until yesterday. I felt like a drink outside and Martin's Tavern told me I'd have to order food (wasn't hungry). Came upon Foxtrot, which is a total game-changer and which I will be frequenting henceforward. Several tables were open outside, right on Wisconsin Avenue. Great for people-watching. Prices are... surreal. Think wine shop prices, not bar prices. But you CAN STILL DRINK AT A TABLE OUT ON THE SIDEWALK! I'm happily surprised that this apparently is legal in DC. Got a perfectly serviceable bottle of Cabernet for twelve bucks, a friend joined me and we bought a delicious bottle of... Chianti (I think?) for around twenty dollars. They also have takeout food, salads and sandwiches, etc. Sandwiches look nice but I wasn't hungry. I'm in love with this place. It's everything you want in a bar except it's a fraction of the price and you don't have waitstaff breathing down your neck as you might at a busier place in the neighborhood. Nice people working there as well. PLEASE SUPPORT THIS PLACE!!! A+++++

A modern convenience store. What an interesting collection of curated items! From wonderful wines to cutting edge Non-alcohol tinctures and delectables. I could spend an hour here just looking. The people are nice and the coffee was yum. A special concept

I love how adorable Foxtrot is! Truly the best study location and has amazing drinks!

Witnessed a man come in here and grab a kombucha after which he asked the store manager to turn down the music that was blaring from a speaker he happened to be sitting under and they kept insisting it couldn't be done. Then they mocked him when he left. Turned me off this place. Will be going to Compass Coffee right up the street.

A modern corner store & coffee shop! I went for the market, it was extremely well curated. Definitely on the pricey side but perfect for an at home date night, housewarming gift, special something, or place to relax!

Is everyone working here stoned? Went on Saturday morning and the situation behind the counter was disorganized, slow, and generally confused. It took several attempts of my wife and I going up to check on our food for it to finally present itself -- and all they were doing is heating-up a pre packed meal? How hard is that?

My teen twins ordered both Avocado Toasts on the menu = elote avocado toast which is heirloom tomato, roast corn, cotija cheese, cilantro, elote aioli, and sourdough, and the regular avocado toast which is orange, feta cheese, radish, pea shoots, hemp seed, calabrian chili oil, and sourdough, $9 each. And the twins both rated their orders 9 out of 10 = excellent!

Lots of options for breakfast, lunch, dinner, and more! I wanted to get nearly everything I saw but finally settled on the confetti cake brownie! The center is filled with a super sweet caramel that really puts this brownie over the edge. Perfect for a birthday treat or as a gift!

Heard a lot of buzz about this place but I was extremely unimpressed. The espresso is bitter and the pastries, although they look good, are lackluster. There are plenty of other good coffee/pastry/wine shops in DC....I'd say skip this place.

Update: foxtrot is so goated, a new love letter -FIRSTLY, 7am-10pm hours?? NO one else is doin it like them this is the ONLY coffee shop (do I even call it that they r sm more) in gtown that I can sit down and work at for 10+hrs. When I get into med school it will be 100% thx to no one but foxtrot for giving me the space to churn out all 900 of my essays -they have topo chico -they have mf HAPPY hour HAHAHA 3$ draft beer highly rec. unless ur also applying to med school rn in which case stop n demonstrate the self ctrl I don't have -their matcha latte is the ONLY one worth getting in gtown, first one I've had that actually taste like matcha rather than some artificial sweetener (@compass) and is a decent size (@compass w their like 6$ sippy cup sized "small"). it's what a matcha latte should be, dependable n gud. -THREE DOLLAR BFAST TACOS. WHAT. better than el centro across the st HAHA. Fresh hot cheesy what more u need. AAANnndd their red sauce salsa i b drinking that like gazpacho it's so good. It is off brand from the 9$ avocado toasts, but tha j makes them taste even better -vanilla creme brûlée donut the shiz, at the least it's unlike any donut youll ever have try it thx

Awesome staff, great selection of food for the market. It's also a great stop for a quick cup of coffee!
