Was interested in this cafe since they grind to order for drip coffee. Came here on three separate occasions and tried three different types of bean but I would say it's some what watery. Flavor was just okay but nothing noting. Service was good however.

I was walking on the street and saw this very cool coffee shop I thought I stopped by. I am literally blown Away of the technology of dispensing the coffee out of those tubes! One of the Barista explained to me how involved the owner of the coffee shop is with harvesting and roasting a coffee which happens at the store. Bought a bag to try! Highly recommend.

Their coffee and beans are so good and surprisingly, the avocado toast was amazing! Love it and will be back for more!

We stopped in here as it was right by our hotel. It was a quiet weekend morning, so it wasn't super busy. The staff was nice, but wow, everything was really overpriced. The food was not great. The yogurt parfait had a tiny portion of granola, which was mostly raisins. The avocado toast was fine, but overpriced for what you get. Overall, we'd have opted for something different but there weren't a lot of options since it was the weekend. There are a few tables outside, and the inside aesthetic is cute. And inclusive!

4--stars because: == ESPRESSO == $4.15 -- average pricing for DC. Cashless, unfortunately. Thank you to the manager on duty for taking the time to explain the reasons why the business is cashless. It's unfortunate the marginalization of several populations by this choice, but it was an eye-opening conversation to understand the growing options for the unbanked & international visitors/students & disabled, etc to use for cash transactions. Although there are several bean options, the light roast Mexico was not a light roast at all. Like another reviewer commented, it is more a full-bodied, darker medium. Not my jam, but would recommend to others who enjoy quality darker roasts. Espresso was well served, not burnt. == ATMOSPHERE == * Quiet on a weekday afternoon. * Lighting is more pleasant than bright, blue, hormone-disrupting light. * Music was weird 80s/90s rock music, not fitting for a coffee shop, but at least not loud. Grateful it's not like the coffeeshops that seem to be wannabe dance clubs w the blasting music. * Seating area is top-notch. Great spot for meetups, indoor & outdoor, and laptop sitting.

I really like this coffee shop! The place is comfortable. I also love that you can choose your favorite type of coffee beans for your drink – such a nice touch!

I like to travel a lot and try coffee and pastries everywhere I go, and we Saudis are known for our love of coffee, desserts, and pastries. Every time I go to cafe them, specially morning, my first choice of pastries is a butter croissant, as I don't like other flavors or for stuffed croissants, but I didn't find what I wanted, so the beautiful girl (sorry, I don't know her name) told me that they have only chocolate and almond croissants, and that both are good, so I chose almond croissant. I would like to say that despite these experiences I have, this croissant is the most delicious croissant I have ever tasted in my life. The filling was very delicious, I don't know what it was, but I I felt in love with it. I advise you to try it. I also ordered a cappuccino, and it was good as well. There is also a water tap to drink with cups for free, of course. This café is integrated. The atmosphere of the café was also calm, and the staff were wonderful. Thank you.
