I had a small classic açaí bowl with no blueberries and an iced matcha. When they say small, they mean it but it's honestly just enough.

I've been to Vigilante Coffee many times at both the Hyattsville and College Park locations. During…read morewarmer months it's usually packed on weekends, so the slower pace in colder weather felt expected. I ordered online and grabbed the 16 oz salted maple latte. Smooth, balanced, and not overly sweet. Their mocha is also really good and always consistent. It's one of those spots where you'll see people holding meetings, studying, or casually linking up with neighbors from outside their own area. The atmosphere is relaxed and welcoming. They offer plenty of drink and food options, and the croissants I've tried have always been fresh. I also love being able to see the coffee machines in action. The staff is consistently friendly and smiling, which makes you want to keep coming back. Definitely worth a visit if you're near either location.

First opened inside and old liquor store on the United States of America's 249th birthday, Gigi's is one of the only independent coffee shops East of the River. Park out front or along the street. It's easy to find. When I walked in on a Friday morning, the two baristas were very kind and warm. It's clear they are proud of what they are building. They have a full coffee menu, including a very creamy and tasty Pistachio Latte. They also have wrapped pastries that come at a discount if you order a latte.

Each coffee beverage I've tried is delicious and they have happily made any accommodations that I've requested. I will continue to visit during my lunchtime walks.

Placed an order to-go via DoorDash for iced white mocha, lemonade, and a 3-pk beignet…read more Order wasn't ready upon arrival. Zero acknowledgment by the 3 associates working there. Coffee was lukewarm and didn't have much ice. It was also very bitter. The lemonade had too much ice so a large cup was finished in only a few sips. The beignets were warm and fluffy but tasted doughy and underbaked in the middle. The inside had several different kinds of seatings. Outside seats were available too albeit without shades. Parking was free and store wasn't overcrowded. I wouldn't mind revisiting if in the area again but wouldn't go out of my way just to go there. Still a good Starbucks alternative.

I'm also from LA, and we have plenty of amazing bakeries, bread shoppes and wonderful food all around. I've had a tough time here in DC these last few months- the food quality just isn't the same, and the breads have all sucked. Thankfully I found mother's market, which I LOVE- and that first day of finding the market, I went right for the local baguette & sourdough. BOTH of which are fantastic. They are fresh, they last forever too! I can't believe how long my sourdough lasted! Anyway, if you're looking for the best bread in DC, you'd better get Lyon, they won't disappoint! It's the only brand or bread I'll be buying/eating here!!!

They have a good sized space for this and it was active, but quiet. They also have a nice outdoor patio overlooking Rhode Island Avenue and a quick walk to shops and other restaurants. Staff was helpful and service was quick. They have a great selection of coffee, lattes, and matcha. Food was limited and the breakfast burrito was miniature for the price. Overall, good spot for a change of scenery if you work from home or want to meet up in the area.

Creamy and spicy without too much sweetness. I often get my coffee beans from here. They print their roast date on the bottom of the bag (roasted at their hyattsville location) and they always have a great variety of beans. Occasionally I'll get an almond croissant and enjoy it if there's seating. On nice days, there are benches right outside, even with a view of the parking lot and the construction across the street, it can be nice. I enjoy this location, though parking is tight. If you're not lucky enough to get a spot, you can park next door in the paid lot behind the businesses right past Vigilante.

Great coffee shop with a nice vibe and decor. We ordered a cappuccino and a macchiato. The…read morecappuccino was creamy, well-balanced, and served at the perfect temperature. The espresso was smooth and mild -- not too bitter or sour. The service was average, as I waited over 10 minutes to receive my drink. Prices were reasonable for a small coffee shop. There is a seating area, but depending on the day and time, it can get very crowded and the music can be quite loud. It's not the best place if you're looking for a quiet spot to sit and read. There's a small parking lot in front of the shop, but spaces are limited. Some customers park briefly to grab drinks and leave, and if your car gets blocked in, you may need to wait before exiting.

Service was quick and friendly and I was able to sample their bean soup which was nice and hot and seasoned well! This location as a few parking spots, that they share with other businesses, and you are able to sit down inside of the restaurant. They also bake cakes. I saw a few of their designs and they looked great. I plan to return again!
