Lost Sock Roasters - Market & Cafe

Creative menu items. I got the salmon Crogel (croissant bagel) and early grey latte. Always appreciate a place trying new things. Had to wait around 30min between standing in life and waiting for food. Not sure if it is because the place opened a few months ago, or people love it that much. Either way, enjoyed my breakfast very much. This cafe would probably benefit from adding bench seating outside and / or inside as seating is very limited. At least that was my experience with how busy it is on a Saturday morning. Would go again!

New cute neighborhood coffee shop just opened! Serving all day breakfast and lunch with a variety of small bites. Coffee is good and they have a nice place inside and out to hangout. A nice addition to the neighborhood and always fun to support small neighborhood coffee shops!

Lost Sock is a great addition to the neighborhood! The $11-14 breakfast sandwich is a little pricy but has unique flavors and is large. The coffee is delicious and the favors of pastry are unique. I hope they add outdoor seating or more stools soon.

Cute shop with quick service. Seating is limited if you are looking to stay and chat or read. Solid coffee and all the usuals are available. But their speciality Apple Chaider sticks out as a perfect fall drink to sip while you walk around.

Great little neighborhood coffee shop with a great tea selection! Not a lot of seating options (have a great outdoor space that seems like it’s just begging for a bench or outdoor tables and chairs :)

It’s really a 4-star place but I’m giving them an extra star because I agree with their dog policy. Dogs in a food serving/preparing space would be gross. The coffee is good, the vibe is chill, it’s conveniently located for folks in the neighborhood, and the staff is fine. Only complaint is that it has that generic Brooklyn coffee shop aesthetic that pretty much every coffee place goes for. It works, that’s why it’s popular… but c’mon people. A little originality and local flare wouldn’t kill you.

Coffee was soooo good!!! I didn’t have food, but I rated it for the coffee. I just had a latte and you could tell the coffee beans are quality. Definitely will be back for the coffee! Also, we had two coffees and it was under $10! They could be nicer. Especially since I came during Thanksgiving week you know I don’t know… The vibe is just like whatever and the atmosphere is not very warm, like you don’t wanna hang, there’s no comfy chairs or anything but the coffee is definitely good.

New coffee shop on the Noma area! Overall I would say it’s worth trying if you’re close. The coffee was not ground breaking but I enjoyed the atmosphere and their selection of pastries, breakfast, and lunch options. I had a cold brew with a “crogel” which is an everything bagel flavored croissant. The coffee was ok. The pastry was delicious however! Music playing at a nice volume and a good amount of staff working first thing in the morning so the coffee came out quick.

Lost Sock was walking distance from my hotel. So happy I checked it out. Ordered a flat white with vanilla and it was so good. I also got the Egsando sandwhich and it was delicious. I did not expect it to be as big as it was so definitely a great breakfast. The staff and service were really friendly and welcoming while also making recommendations.

I really wanted to enjoy this neighborhood gem but was sadly disappointed. The atmosphere and service were great, but my coffee was a tad watered down. It also wasn't initially clear that horchata lattes served were ice only no hot alternative. The empanadas while small packed a flavorful punch especially the Argentinian beef. Overall I passed 10 cafes to go here not sure it's worth the longer walk. Also seating is quite limited.

Came here and saw a line coming out of the door (usually a good sign). I ordered a jasmine flower matcha and was one of the best matcha lattes I've had in DC. Though the price is steep, it's a nice sweet treat to reward yourself with during these trying times. There isn't much indoor seating, so you're better off seating somewhere else. I won't be rushing here all the time, but I would definitely come back and try more of their drinks. (Don't know why my photo is looking like that)

Staff was a little definitely busy and there is not a lot of room to sit and post up. I got an iced oat milk matcha with oat milk and early grey syrup. If it wasn't 8 dollars I would get it every day. Definitely worth a visit if you are in the area, very charming. The matcha tastes really nice. I won't dog points for it being busy or the price. Yum.

Though the line was long coming in, ordering and getting my coffee was quick and efficient. Lost Sock Roasters not only runs smoothly but also serves fantastic coffee with unique flavors. I tried the jasmine flower latte and the passion fruit spritz--both were fun and delicious. I also picked up a bag of beans to take home, and it's been holding up really well. Excited to make this a go-to spot whenever I'm in the area!

Very cute little place. Cold brew was v tasty and the menu had many items I'd like to try. Was on the go so got an egg, cheese and bacon empanada. Cashier was very friendly. They were busy but it didn't take too long for my order (about 4-5 minutes). Bought a bag of beans to go as well. I'd recommend a visit!

We came a month or so after when Lost Sock Roastered opened and the neighborhood came to rally, which made the whole cafe overwhelmingly crowded. We asked for a cold brew, which the barista made with ICE (defeating the purpose of the coffee) and two breakfast sandwiches (only one with meat additions), costing us altogether $40+ with tax and tip. Kind of ridiculously priced for a grab and go place that had NO seating, mediocre sandwiches, and incorrectly made coffee. I would pass on this place.

So happy Lost Socks came to the neighborhood! The cute little shop is in a great location and the simple yet colorful decor makes for a lovely atmosphere to grab a cup of Joe. The playlist was fire and the staff are a warm and inviting crew. My oat milk latte was perfect and I'll be back for more!

I'm thankful Lost Sock Roasters opened a second location in NoMa, which is closer to me than their Takoma location. It's only an 8 minute walk from the NoMa-Gallaudet metro station and tucked in a more residential area. The interior is spacious, but only there is only counter seating (8 stool seats facing the window) at this location. I camped around for 5-10 minutes and was able to get a seat afterwards, but the seating isn't the most comfortable. When I stopped by earlier yesterday afternoon, they weren't making pour overs (darn!), so I got a 12 oz. iced americano with single origin espresso for $4, which was pretty refreshing but nothing to write home about. The espresso notes leaned fruity but not overly so. I think from all my Lost Sock experiences, their lattes (and specialty) and small bites are the noteworthy items to order. Lost Sock also closes pretty early at 4 PM, and they're closed on Mondays. Overall, it's a good spot for grab-and-go, but not a sit down. They sell beans, tea leaves, and coffee-making equipment at this location as well.

Mixed experience here. I visited for a bag of beans and a drink or a snack, but only left with the beans. The beans were great - I think this place is a great roaster - but they don't have a lot in their cafe. They were out of all the food and they didn't have any sort of lemonade (I wanted an iced tea lemonade style drink).

If you love quality coffee, pop into Lost Sock Market & Cafe. Their original location is in Takoma, but this one has history. It's inside a 1923 corner store, which explains Lost Sock's little market inside, a nod to the building's legacy. Open Tuesday-Sunday from 8am to 6pm, Lost Sock roasts their own coffee and serves a full coffee menu. Their vanilla latte is my favorite in the city. It comes out perfect with no need for more cream or sugar. It's very smooth! They also have teas for non-coffee drinkers. Their food menu includes all day breakfast, including avocado toast, egg sandos, and five different kinds of empanadas using a family recipe of one of the owners. Any of the empanadas are worth getting. They come with a delicious sauce on the side. The space itself is an oasis with plants everywhere, large windows letting natural light in, and exposed brick. There aren't any tables or chairs inside, but a bar table to stand around are in both window areas. An outdoor patio is coming soon. There aren't any outlets inside, but there is a unisex restroom that is kept clean.

Lost Sock has hands down some of the best coffee in the DMV- but the vibes at the Noma location fall a little flat compared to Takoma Park. They have limited seating inside despite the large space but they do have some fun little goodies like Swedish candies for purchase alongside your coffee.

Always warm welcomes and excellent service. The drinks are fantastic, but the real highlights are the beef empanadas and the garlic sauce. They are divine. Such a charming spot in my neighborhood.

Absolutely in love with this cafe - first, the staff are super friendly and very patience with us as we were ordering. Cute decors inside and green building surrounded by residential area. London fog with espresso - excellent flavor with a burst of caffeine! Jasmine latte with espresso - excellent and light flavor of jasmine tea. It's a great floral drink with a hint of sweetness in it that hooked me. Perfect drink for some morning scroll around the neighborhood! Empanadas are perfect and probably the best in DC! Tried these flavors: Beef, chicken and spinach/feta. All were very flavorful and not too dry paired with amazing dipping sauce. I really enjoyed them all!

New coffee shop in the Noma neighborhood. A quick walk for me which is nice! They have plenty of options and several specialty lattes. They have a good array of pastries, which are decent and affordable. I'm basic so I got an almond croissant and a regular latte. Both were good. I've also tried the breakfast empanada, which was good. Pretty small but it was good. The highlight for me is the service. Even though it has been extremely busy and packed, the service and baristas are always friendly and attentive. The space is on the small side with window bar seating, about 4 chairs, but no other seating inside or outside. I'm sure they are working on seating options because that would be a nice addition. They are closed on Mondays, which is disappointing but they're open the other 6 days. They also close at 2 or 3... which is a new trend with coffee shops. I'm not a fan because I love an afternoon/evening coffee but I get it. Highly recommend you check this spot out!

Stopped by on a Friday afternoon, and it was quite busy! There's not much seating at all. The place in general is small and just has some counter seating near the windows. I got a Jasmine Blossom Latte. I asked for it to be short on milk, and they gave it to me as is instead. I was a bit disappointed with that. The espresso taste was nice, however, I could barely taste the syrup. If it were short and had less milk, it would probably be better.

I got the vanilla latte with oat milk and it was really good! They also had these shortbread cookies with dulce de leche from a local restaurant that was yummy and not too sweet

Glad to see them in my neighborhood! I used to drive to Takoma area on weekends just for them. Nice selection of drinks and good quality roasted beans. The empanadas are delicious. The space is small with few seating options, so be respectful and don't plan to lounge with your laptop all day. :-)

Love this coffee shop and their food offerings. I am a chai person and their chai is probably the best Ive had in Dc. I went back twice in one week and tried their croissant bagel sandwich and their empanadas as well. Their breakfast sandwiches are fairly pricey but very good and their empanadas are really great

I've tried this place multiple times now and it's just meh. It's not bad but it's not good. I've gotten hot & cold drinks and I can tell they're trying but they aren't executing. The food is not great & it's expensive for what you get. The employees seem bored/uninterested and in a hurry which is uncomfortable. Bummer bc I was so looking forward to a new neighborhood spot.

Amazing lattes and food! This is probably one of my favorite cafes now. We tried the following: - Jasmine blossom latte (iced, with oat milk) - delicious!!! Definitely a must-get. Lightly floral, sweet, and refreshing on a hot summer day - London fog red eye latte (iced, with oat milk) - delicious too. It has a very calming and soothing feel, thanks to the London fog tea. - Egglote sando - delightfully fluffy brioche, zesty & slightly spicy lime/cilantro/tajin spread, and huge portions. It is an incredibly novel and delicious egg sandwich, but I'd recommend splitting one with another person because otherwise it's a bit too much in one sitting. - Empanadas are seriously the bomb here. Spinach & feta was all right, but Argentinian chicken and Argentinian beef empanadas were incredible. The beef one is probably my favorite in the DC area, just in terms of crispy exterior and unique rich flavors inside. - Saku saku (black sesame) cookie - lightly sweet, with a soft crumbly/powdery texture (made with almond flour?). Pretty good but not amazed by it, and definitely not as good as my black sesame cookies :)

Cute new neighborhood coffee spot in NoMa! Stopped by on my way to Trader Joe's and there were a few seats available. Service was fast and nice, and the latte and alfajor both hit the spot. Cute spot to work as there are plenty of plants (and they're for sale!) and great natural lighting.

Lost Sock is serving up some of the best coffee in DC. This small coffee shop is bustling every weekend. The prices are reasonable the drink menu is straightforward with a few specialties. But their beans set them apart and just explode with complex fruity coffee notes that you don't get from many of the mass produced competitors.

Super stinkin cute place. Went here with my Seattle friend that was visiting and if it wasn't so far away, I'd frequent this place. It took me back to living in Seattle. I miss it so much and this was a small reminder. Yummy food!! And drinks too!! Def recommend. W bought a couple "lost socks" as a reminder too.

What a fun find in the middle of a quaint neighborhood. Great coffee and baked goods. Lots of cute dogs & babies!!

Lost Sock is a great addition to the neighborhood! The $11-14 breakfast sandwich is a little pricy but has unique flavors and is large. The coffee is delicious and the favors of pastry are unique.

That egg lota sandwich is seriously insano. Make sure to add the chorizo as well Coffee is fine but I would go again just for the sandwich

great to have lost sock closer to home - coffee is wonderful both espresso and drip/pour over, they have a good menu of hot food and pastries, space is cute with some seating in and hopefully some outside soon

Great new addition to the neighborhood! The matcha here is very good - actually tastes like matcha. Coffee is good too! Baristas have been very friendly every time I've been in. Not a lot of seating fyi

I came right after closing and they were enough to help me put. This is my second visit and coffee was good both times. This time I also bought some of the micro lot beans. Some of the best espresso was made with those beans! I'm not sure what to do because I already have 2 subscriptions!

Best latte I have had in a good while. Friendly service! I am now a fan. Absolutely delicious.

I live just around the corner so I'm totally thrilled a new coffee shop has opened in the neighborhood! I've gone a couple times and gotten different drinks but I wanted to wait to review before I got food from them so I had the full picture. This morning I stopped in on my way to work to get the egg-lote sando (which is delicious) but my order got lost in the shuffle so I had to wait a bit longer. No problem at all, I already leave chronically early for work so that was never an issue, but the baristas were SO generously kind and offered to make me a drink on the house! I got the horchata with a shot of espresso and it was SCRUMPTIOUS!! There's a lot of coffees I like in DC, but this is definitely going in my top 5. The sandwich was also delicious, I loved the lime crema with the roasted corn and the egg was done perfectly. Overall it's a great little coffee shop and a worthy competitor to the other cafes in the area!

Probably the worst hot chocolate I've ever had even though they just use chocolate syrup and milk, so I'm not sure how it went so wrong. It tasted more like hot milk with no chocolate. Maybe the other drinks are good but definitely do not recommend getting this.
