Rapha D.C.

Great place, great people, expensive as hell, but you know what? This place makes it obvious that building community is first priority and selling stuff is secondary. They just happen to sell super high quality stuff, so it all works out. Personally, I have only ever bought stuff from their online store (on sale), but every time I walk through the door of a brick and mortar shop, it feels like I'm with friends.

While in D.C for a long weekend from Dubai, realised I did not have appropriate clothes for January in D.C. visited the shop, really helpful staff, told me about rides they had arranged. Went on a ride from the shop led by Bernie, great route and very welcoming, with a good coffee at the end in the shop with Matt and the team. What is pleasant is they are very friendly and don’t push their products, and as per other reviews one of the best coffee in D.C. Well worth a visit even if you are not intending to buy anything.

This place brings together the DC cycling community around planned rides for all levels, perfectly crafted coffee and high-quality (albeit pricy, buy when on sale) cycling and lifestyle clothing and accessories. The folks here are fun, welcoming and always ready to make your visit a great experience. Do stop by to browse, grab a delicious coffee and watch a bike race.

This store has a nice cozy feel to it for a bike store. I've mostly bought their products online, but they stick most of their popular stuff here. Rapha's quality is always exceptional. From something as simple as mittens and arm warmers to those expensive bib shorts and jerseys, the quality and stitching is always good and you can count on it. The staff here in this store is friendly and very helpful. Try to look out for their sale windows.

I bought a set of bib shorts and two jerseys from the Rapha store in Georgetown. The bib shorts are nice, but the jerseys are not very good quality and not worth the expensive price tag. Staff seemed accommodating, but a bit of a pretentious vibe.

Was super excited to hear about Rapha clubhouse in Washington DC and it is everything a more! Great atmosphere, great clothing, it’s where you want to be whether your a cyclist or not. I honestly don’t know where to begin without being lengthy, all I can say is check it out for yourself and browse the website.

A rather unique shop for the cycling culture with a pleasant ambiance. The boutique in the heart of Georgetown. Enjoy their organized weekend rides.

The pop-up was excellent, but has now closed. Rumor has it, a permanent location is being developed in Georgetown or NW DC to open in late spring 2018. As many people have stated, the apparel is expensive but worth it and the staff is fantastic.
