Ther is the most attentive server ever! Be sure to leave him a good tip, he's an incredibly talented martial artist (I've trained with him ;)
Great veg option is the Alisha - nice whole grain bread, cukes, tomato, sprouts, hummus and cream cheese
Arnaud RéautéOctober 30, 2014Very chill environment with live music in the evening. Perfect to work. Waffles are amazing!
Cornbread HeysoosMarch 30, 2014Everything is a good value here. Nice atmosphere and wifi (sometimes)... Cool low pressure spot to study
Mona DNovember 27, 2013Popular with the locals. Great food and fun environment. On weekends there are long lines to get seated, so get here early!
Chaippuccinos are fabulous. Teas are french pressed. Get the Yared for sick days. They do latte art and serve drinks with animal crackers!
DorisDecember 20, 2012Nice atmosphere dim lights and couches. Wifi is turned off weekends and holidays *kanye shrug* vegan friendly apps live band wed nights
Mikey ZSeptember 15, 2014Their iced frappuccinos are so smooth you can barely tell they're iced. Best I've ever had, hands down.
Marc PhillipsOctober 14, 2013Nice little coffee and dessert place in a rapidly gentrifying neighborhood. Animal crackers served with each drink!
Their Counter Culture coffee is on point. And their latte art is awesome.
The 1700 Park Road - one of the two Gin Rickey finalists from Tryst - rules the school.
Michael StarrSeptember 1, 2014This place is awesome. Little bit of an identity crisis but coffee, food, service, and atmosphere are great.
Carmen YépizOctober 25, 2016Good price, great environment, perfect for reading or working. Good service.
Adam PowersMarch 18, 2010order their grey earl tea (or any tea, really) and you get one of those fancy french tea presses. after you're done, dump your tea leaves in your cup and try to read your future.
NumuqueJuly 9, 2015nothing particular about the food or coffee but still the best café in Adams Morgan. nice ambiance. good place to work
Melissa CDecember 26, 2010Ever wanted to feel like you're on the set of Friends? Go here. Big, comfy couches and an open layout make for lounging and a living room atmosphere.
NickAugust 15, 2014Sweet place to work. Zayan grilled cheese, with Optimum Wit from Port City on tap.
Anthony MaioranaAugust 21, 2012Live music is dope. Take off the headphones while the band is on or you might as well sit at home with Starbucks and the tv on.
This place has gotten a lot more explicitly vegan-friendly recently. More options, more menu clarity, and more kale smoothies. \m/
deenuhfoowadOctober 17, 2014an awesome place to read and people watch. sometimes it gets so overcrowded that it ruins the vibe.
Sophia HApril 13, 2019Dacquoise hazelnut cake is amazingggg! Chocolate waffle was good and very moist
2M StreetAugust 13, 2014Tried the spiced wine on a rainy day-it will warm your soul! Free wi-fi Mon-Fri.
Mexican hot chocolate and a Tanya (peanut butter & jelly sandwich).

Abbie WApril 2, 2013wide variety of iced teas. lovely space. windows open up completely to the sidewalk when its warm out.- Matthew PearlSeptember 1, 2014Chicken quesadilla with salsa is gorgeous! Try with featured cocktail of the day
Gourmet coffee + full bar + delicious food + cozy atmosphere + open late = my favorite place!
- Sara AllenFebruary 17, 2013Get the chocolate waffle. My tummy thanks me. Light and heavenly? You know you gotta have it.
Ask the baristas what the daily specials are and share your favorite coffee beverages w us! You might find yours as one of ours on the board!
Restroom graffiti you can appreciate! Check out the "groutfiti" in the rightmost restroom. Its all clever puns on "grout" written between the tiles. :-)
Abrar AlsuwainaOctober 3, 2015Try their Chocolate waffle and the white mocha too!! Very gentle service
Candice BarnesFebruary 5, 2012Great place for a date. Try to snag a couch. The baristas are artists an make you feel special.
Niara P.July 8, 2013Great atmosphere, but beware of trying to do work after the sun sets -- the lights are extremely dim in here.
Katarina KatsmaJune 27, 2015Everything, I love it here. But no WiFi on the weekends? Kind of uncool.
