We came here a few times during our stay in DC. We ordered things like coffee, fresh juice, ice…read morecream, chips and nachos, crispy avocado tacos, fish tacos, an eel bowl, and pizza. Everything here is pretty good. But the Mexican food was just okay (beans and cheese dip tasted canned/powdered), while the tacos were pretty standard. But my partner enjoyed having his coffee and juice here as well as the pizza. Overall we really enjoyed the concept of this place -- the shared community space, the tall ceilings, and the fast and seamless ordering system. You can order at any kiosk/stand, but it's better to grab a table, sit down, and order from the unique link you scan from each table's unique QR code link, and they bring the food to you. It's a model ahead of its time but one that makes it easy to order your food (though I can see the drawbacks like having to order once you get to the building since there are unique QR codes that prevent you from ordering food when you're not there. I honestly would give the food closer to 4 stars, but my partner had such positive experiences at this place that I am giving it 5 stars.

I'm so glad it popped up on Google because it gave me the push to finally check it out. I ordered a latte (I wish I could remember which one!), and it was absolutely delicious. I've honestly been dreaming about it since last Saturday! The service was warm and welcoming from the moment I walked in, which made the experience even better. While I was there, they also had a pop-up shop with local vendors. I walked out with a donut, a pair of earrings, and some oils because everything looked so good. If you're visiting, just make a left when you walk in and head straight to the back to find it. The space is super cute with plenty of room to sit, sip, eat, or even get some work done. I'll definitely be back to try more items.

You can order from different vendors and they deliver it to your table. I opted for a Butterfly Pea Arnold Palmer (iykyk) from Cameo (the coffee spot) and sushi from AKO. The arnold palmer was just what I needed - it added to my calm state and put me in a comfortable mood to lock in for a few hours. They have plenty of coffee/tea options and the service was friendly. This is a good spot if you need a quiet place to work and settle in with a hot or iced caffeinated beverage.

Great service, and lots of pastry options as well.

Great place! Exploring the area and I needed somewhere quiet to focus - this cafe was up the street…read moreso I decided to pop in. It's a clean and quiet space in a busy neighborhood with plenty of street parking available. It's very modern with conference rooms and plenty of outlets for convenience (and with a separate nook for card holders). As soon as I walked in Joni gave me a very thorough rundown as well as a latte on the house for it being my first time! I thought that was a great gesture. It was fairly empty for late afternoon (2/3p) so I hung out for a few hours and then another ambassador named Mike was gracious enough to bless me with another latte on the house. Everyone was so welcoming and went above and beyond imo when it came to checking on customers. Now the lattes - the first was the iced Honey Lavender Latte. Perfect! I'm not a coffee drinker at all so I ordered this based off of my love of chai lattes. It was a little strong, but not overpowering with some sweetness to it. I got a hot Chai latte later on since the a/c was on full blast - the chai was also a little overpowering - almost too spicy tasting. If they even this out with the milk it'd be perfect. After 2 unexpected comp'd drinks and an inviting atmosphere, I can say this is a great place to hang out and get some work done. I'll return for one of their events and see if the vibe is different but for now, it's added to the list!

Stopped by Pluma while exploring the Wharf and really enjoyed the experience…read more The café itself is beautiful, minimalist, earthy, and thoughtfully designed. Even though we got our drinks and food to go, I couldn't help but admire the cute ceramics and overall aesthetic of the space. I ordered the lavender latte, which was good but didn't completely wow me. My husband and I also shared the bread pudding, and that was definitely the highlight. He gave it a 9/10, and I'd have to agree, it was delicious and the perfect treat to enjoy while walking around the pier. One thing to note is that prices are definitely on the higher side. I noticed the avocado toast was around $18, and while it looked nice, it didn't seem particularly special for the price. Overall, a very cute café with a great atmosphere and an excellent bread pudding. A lovely stop while visiting the Wharf.

But, that's very preferential to my palate... the roast they serve from small planes is beautiful. The espresso beans are single origin and they serve a blend for their drip coffee. But the gem of this coffee shop is the baked goods! It is absolutely the most delicious and well made bread I've ever had in a coffee shop. I feel like they should be a bakery that serves coffee on the side. Their mushroom toast is out of this world! Like the best thing I've had in a long time. Their sourdough and multigrain bread is the foundation and the most beautiful one at that. The sauce is magnificent. Their croissant is as close to magic as you can get... I just wish I had come in time to have it warm. Their avocado toast is served with fresh piles of beautiful avocado. But again, the multigrain bread is the star! Their Pain Suisse... magic in a pastry... chocolate and pistachio wrapped in flaky croissant! beautiful and delicate... it's a must get!

Sitting on their patio overlooking Lincoln Park with an iced latte in hand is pure bliss--an opportunity to slow down and soak in the serenity of the city. What truly sets Wine and Butter apart, however, is their commitment to community. I deeply appreciate that they support the National Guardsmen who work tirelessly to keep DC safe and beautiful. It's inspiring to see a local business that goes beyond serving great coffee to show genuine respect and gratitude for those who serve.

Cause | Vibes | Outdoor Space…read more Cause - The sticker shock is real when you first see the prices. However, part of what you're paying for supports programs that provide coffee to people experiencing homelessness, while another portion goes toward local causes in DC. In that sense, your extra dollars are helping fund meaningful work in the community. Vibes - This place has great energy. There is a sizable indoor seating area along with a comfortable outdoor section. You'll see a mix of people catching up with friends, working remotely, or simply enjoying a cup of coffee. The overall atmosphere feels welcoming, open, and community-oriented. Outdoor Space - This is probably the highlight, especially on a nice summer day. It's an ideal spot for people-watching, soaking up some sunshine, and enjoying the neighborhood atmosphere. If the weather is nice, grab a seat outside and stay awhile. Pro Tip: Parking is limited, so plan accordingly or consider walking if you're nearby. Pro Tip: Ask the staff for their favorite drink recommendations. They know the menu well and can point you toward some hidden gems.

The space is bright, comfortable, and easy to settle into whether you're meeting someone or hanging out solo. Staff were friendly and on top of things without being stiff or fake. Only reason it's not a full five is the vibe during my visit. One guy was posted up for hours loudly talking on a group chat, and it completely took over the room. Not really something the staff can control, but it did make it harder to relax or focus. Still a great coffee shop and one I'd come back to.

With no help just repeating "that's it" I got a simple turkey sandwich with provolone & veggies + the works $21 was not worth it I personally feel like you're paying for the size of the sandwich not the actual flavor or experience. 1.3/5 - sandwich 2.5/5 - customer service/interaction 4.5/5 - cleanliness 0/5 - Price
