Cute coffee shop in a busy plaza (with Trader Joe's). We often come here for a quick coffee, but…read morewe've tried their sandwiches too! There's plenty of seating.

I don't love this place nor do I hate it. I've visited this cafe 3x and all those times were just…read moreokay. First visit, got something very basic. Iced coffee. I wouldn't say I'm a fan of it but they were just okay. Got a sandwich that day as well. Second visit, got a matcha latte and wow... I should've known I would not like it. Barely any matcha taste and was just bland. Disappointing. Third visit, just waiting for my car to finish servicing so I came in to grab an iced americano. That was not good at all. The cafe itself is decorated very cute and I love the vibes of the place. However... I feel disappointed every visit so I'm not sure if I'd come back here again.

Their biscuit sandwiches are good for the biscuits, if at the high side of what they should cost when compared to nearby competitors. Their coffee and teas are oddly so so, again it's a really rough coffee market in DC and this place maybe only struggled some because of the interest of the staff or their overall menu, haven't been enough to figure it out. I would likely swing by if I had to, but would avoid most of their drinks and probably focus on something small. They have fun designs for merch.

Really amazing cafe that differentiates itself by making their entire pastry case in-house. It was…read morereally hard to select anything to eat because all the pastries were fresh and beautifully baked with toasted with a rich golden brown. I got the savory pie that was stuffed with an unctuous gumbo filling made with creole spices, the holy trinity (onions, peppers, and celery), and a generous portion of chicken. The pie pastry had a perfect flaky crumb that held the filling together. A friend had their breakfast sandwich, which had a rustic and delightful tang from the inclusion of sourdough in the biscuit batter that paired well with the thick slab of egg and crispy bacon. Incredibly savory items. I'm always gravitated towards how well a cafe can do a savory menu and this exceed my expectations. Friends I came in with who got their coffee said that it was very delicious, and the baristas can make a beautiful frothy and rich matcha latte. Its both parts technical skills to pull coffee or whisk matcha and sourcing of high-quality ingredients. Drinks make up a large part of any cafe, so to do it well here in this neighborhood cafe is exceptional. The baristas are running that place like a tight ship! Tip well!

Who doesn't want a rich, aromatic, satisfying cup of coffee in the morning? I certainly do and…read moreInnerloop Coffee Roasters fills that need. I am a big fan of the Burundi coffee that infuses brown sugar, Earl Grey, and star of anise flavors into this cup of morning coffee. Don't forget to order their biscotti cookies, they are so delicious, especially when dunked in your coffee or tea. They have a really cute gold spoon to help measure your coffee and it double tasks as a clip to hold your coffee bag closed. If you are looking for a deep and flavorful cup of coffee, then order now. The coffee is shipped to you quickly and efficiently! Great coffee and a wonderful locally owned business.

They currently are roasting a single-origin bean from Burundi that has tasting notes of cinnamon powder, clove and dried stone fruit. It's smell is intoxicating and the resulting drink is smooth and flavorful. It also makes the best iced coffee I've ever had. They roast every Wednesday and Sunday and make free local deliveries. Thank you so much for making my mornings (and let's be honest...afternoons...and some late nights) brighter!

I rarely leave reviews, but this barista absolutely deserves one. He's the white guy with the…read moreglasses and brown hair and kinda looks like harry potter (in a good way), and every single time he makes my drink, it's hands down the best coffee I've ever tasted. The flavor is always perfect, the consistency is incredible, and you can tell he genuinely cares about what he's making. In fact, the only times I've ever had issues with the taste of my drink have been when someone else made it. Whenever I see that he's working, I know my order is going to be exactly how I like it. That's the level of consistency and quality he brings every time. Great customer service is one thing, but consistently making drinks this good is a skill. This barista is a huge asset to the business, and honestly, he deserves a raise. Employees who make customers want to come back again and again are hard to find, and he's definitely one of them. All 5 of my stars goes to him.

Nice boutique cafe with a galore of croissants, donuts, cookies with some seasonal/weekly specials…read more I've made my rounds through the menu and ate more pastries than I can count! The seasonal Donuts and the Croissant Tarts keep me coming back! Best Donuts - Pumpkin Pie Donut, Tiramisu Donut, Key Lilme Pie, Boston Cream, and Hot Cocoa Nutella donut. The Strawberry and Raspberry have a Jelly/Jam filling. I wasn't a big fan of the Cookie Butter Donut, Cannoli donut, or the Dot Cake Donut. The Cookie Butter donut tasted like creamy peanut butter while the Cannoli donut that didn't have the sweet creamy filling that I was hoping for and the Funfetti frosting was a bit off on the Dot Cake Donut (super fun to see all the dot sprinkles on top!). Croissant Tarts - Both the sweet and savory tarts deliver! The Raspberry Cream Cheese Tart, Red Pepper Feta Tart, Apple Tart, and Everything Tart are all delicious! The classic Garlic Spinach Tart and Shroom Tart are fine. Best Croissants - Christmas Tree Raspberry Croissant, Hazelnut Chocolate Mousse Croissant, Apple Butter Crumble Croissant, Almond Croissant, and Matcha Croissant. The cookies are pretty light and fluffy, the Lemon Cheesecake Cookie tasted like a lemon sugar cookie with no filling. For Valentine's Day, the Linzer sugar cookie filled with raspberry jam was delicious! So glad I grabbed the last one by 11am on Saturday! For Mother's Day, there were colorful macaroons. All of the fillings with the donuts and croissants are whipped and pretty light. There's a parking garage next door and you can get parking validated for 1 hour. While there's plenty of seating inside, it can get packed over the weekends. There's no outdoor seating (there's some makeshift seating around the high-rise building). Great local bakery with a lot of baked goodies to choose from!

This is a great spot to study/do work (not a huge amount of space but plenty). However, food and…read moredrinks were mid. I got the large iced latte with whole milk (it was ok, pretty bitter), iced matcha latte unsweetened (was very light colored, almost too much milk? But still sweet for my liking), whoopie pie (taste was good but extremely sweet for my liking) and a cinnamon roll (just mid, again very sweet). For my taste buds, it's just not for me. However, if you like things on the sweeter side, this would be the spot for you!! Service was great too! They were so sweet!

My 4yo daughter has been a fan or this place and you can find something to eat for everyone. They have a drive through for the busy days which everyone appreciates, and it's super quick.

The coffee was good, and the sandwich was alright as well. I wouldn't say I have spectacular comments, but I thought it was decent for what it was. I enjoyed both of the items I got, but I do think I should probably order something different to see if there's something else that is better than what I got. I got the pesto chicken sandwich. It was alright, but I mean I think their other options are more exciting. If you're in the area, I would definitely see why this place is a favorite. Coffee, breakfast spot that isn't microwaved and cooked fresh, and just neighborhood vibes. This place checks all of them.

Kindred Cafe demonstrates exactly how simple breakfast items should be prepared. I stopped in for a…read moremid-morning weekday breakfast and ordered the veggie egg scramble with toast and potatoes, alongside an oat milk vanilla latte. While a scramble sounds simple on paper, it is easy to overcook the vegetables. This one was executed perfectly, with every vegetable done just right. The thin-sliced potatoes were highly seasoned and stood out, moving away from the standard, heavy breakfast spuds you get at most places. The presentation across the board was excellent. The latte arrived with a nice touch--a small side cookie and a club soda to cleanse the palate, which shows a level of intentionality you don't always find. The staff members were incredibly friendly and gracious from start to finish. With fast Wi-Fi and a comfortable environment, it is an ideal spot to get some quality laptop time. It's a great addition to the local lineup.

I've wanted to try this place for a long time, and honestly, it was a letdown…read more I walked in with one other person--so a party of two--and while it was busy, there were clearly open tables. We were told we could sit at the bar or outside, but when we asked for one of the open tables, we were denied because they were "reserved for parties of three." That just doesn't make sense. We're still paying customers, ready to order food and drinks. Denying service like that--especially with empty tables in plain sight--feels unnecessary and rigid. I even asked twice, hoping for a little flexibility, but the answer didn't change. I work in the service industry, and this is exactly the kind of situation where you make an exception or use some common sense. Instead, it felt like policy over hospitality. Really disappointing experience for a place I was excited to try.

We normally get poke around the corner at lei'd and then have the tea and our meal here, with the popcorn chicken as a side. It's the perfect everything.

Okay Tea's'n You, your vibe is very cute, very demure, very mindful, and very tasty!…read more I ended up visiting this location because literally every other matcha shop I wanted to try was closed and wasn't opening until 11:30 a.m. Since my usual spots failed me, I decided to give Tea's'n You a shot. I'm so glad I did. Their matcha is top tier. I ordered two regular matchas with regular sugar, one blueberry matcha with regular sugar, a regular iced coffee, four cupcakes (strawberry shortcake and mango), and a sesame egg tart. Now before y'all start judging me, these were not all for me . My back is getting big, I don't need all that to add to it lol. Everything was packaged securely and presented beautifully. What impressed me even more was the customer service. Orders are placed on a kiosk that sits a little away from the staff, so I honestly didn't think anyone was paying much attention to who ordered what. Imagine my surprise when one of the staff members walked my order directly to me with a kind and friendly smile instead of leaving it in the pickup area. That level of attention is impressive. Do you know how hard it is to make customers feel seen with minimal human interaction? Kudos to the team for pulling that off. Now, while I wanted to give five stars, there was one small miss. The cupcakes were a bit dry, and the mango filling wasn't quite my favorite. However, the sesame egg tart was hitting on every level. My only regret was not buying more of them and somehow convincing someone to hand over the recipe lol. Parking was easy and located right out front. I will definitely be back to try more items. My team loved everything I brought back, so I don't think they're going to let me get away with not bringing them more next time.
