"This homegrown coffee company is the place where locals gather each morning for fresh-brewed coffee and pastries. Owner Joe Finkelstein has since added an additional D.C. location in Eckington." - Tim Ebner
Where To Find To-Go Coffee While Coronavirus Limits Cafes - Eater DC
"Qualia Coffee in Petworth is still roasting beans daily from Sumatra, Colombia, Brazil, Honduras, El Salvador, and Nicaragua (8 a.m. to 3 p.m.). Owner Joel Finkelstein’s second location in Eckington is also open for takeaway coffee paired with portable sugar and creamer and light pastries (8 a.m. to 1 p.m.)." - Tierney Plumb
The 10 Best Coffee Shops in Washington, D.C. | Condé Nast Traveler
"Qualia feels more like your neighbor's comfy living room than an upscale coffee shop in Petworth—and that's totally fine with us. Their unabashed "no WiFi on weekends" policy makes them a destination for java-loving capital residents who don't feel like sitting amid a sea of laptops, fostering a strong contingent of regulars. And it's not just the lack of pecking and glazed-over eyes that keeps them coming: Beans are roasted on-site, and there's typically at least five different single-origin options each day. Oh, and there are free tastings held every Sunday. You're welcome." - Laura Ratliff
Had a doctors appointment across the street and arrived a bit early so decided to try out a local coffee shop and wanted to get some breakfast. Got a chai latte with an espresso shot that was AMAZING!!! Not many food options at 8 am when I arrived but it’s a nice cool spot to just relax…
They source from ethical coffee farms and have amazingly fresh coffee, without pretense. What a wonderful DC business!

Their coffee is really good - no fuss! Multigrain bagel was delicious - cream cheese and tomato is the way to go!

Outstanding quality coffee. I had a pour over that was just wonderful. The Ethiopian beans had all the fruity character I love about that origin. The blueberry muffin was a perfect compliment. The service was great - the barista was very personable and helpful while serving multiple customers! Kudos to Quality Coffee!! I'll be back!

This is my neighborhood spot and they pour great coffee to a high standard. From lattes to pour over to iced tea, it's all delicious. The place is small but they have extra seating upstairs. It's an open air design and can get very hot in summer inside the shop, but I enjoy the heat, and will still hang out to enjoy a great drink.
