    Matcha  Iced maple latte - Two individuals are holding iced beverages with straws in a crowded indoor space, possibly a cafe or casual gathering.

    Aslin coffee is conveniently also a beer company. Perfect for a World Cup Saturday where you may want to start your morning with caffeine and end your morning with a beer. There's a large outdoor space to enjoy your drinks as well as a smaller indoor space. There's also a food truck that I would for sure try at some point. We had the iced matcha and iced maple latte because iced coffee/tea is perfect in any season. The iced matcha was pretty good- if I'm in the area and am in a tea mood I'd definitely go back. What I loved more though was the iced maple latte. It had the great balance of sweetness that can be hard to find sometimes. So whether you enjoy a beer, coffee or both this is a cool spot

    Day or night, Aslin packs a lot of fun. It's a great use of space in a spot that was formerly vacant, and the fact that it used to be a gas station adds some visual interest too! And of course the colorful mural of Justice Jackson plus the first Black judge. Folks may not recognize the other woman on the mural, Constance Baker Motley, the first Black woman who served as a federal judge. On to the coffee and beer! In the morning early/afternoon, I tried out the $16.00 Wednesday unlimited coffee deal and I was VERY caffeinated! I tried the black sesame snickerdoodle latte, matcha, chai, and Cafe Morena (all iced because it is hot out here.. whew!). I think my favorite was the Cafe Morena (americano and dulce de leche) because it's similar to Vietnamese iced coffee. I enjoyed the variety! If you can brave the heat this summer, it's a great place to work for at least a couple hours. (Note: Not many outlets!). Having the Bun'd Up truck there is great and convenient for a bite. My favorite is the miso chicken bao. I wasn't a huge fan of the mushroom one (sorry, vegetarians!). Now pack up your laptop and stick around to get a refreshing beer. At night, it's a bustling beer garden. (Technically you can start drinking at noon. No one is judging.) Sometimes I'm not a big IPA fan, but I liked the purple starfish and double orange starfish IPA plenty. Another reason for loyalty: If you sign up for their friends w/benefits program, you earn 1 point for every $1 spent and receive a $5 discount for every 100 points!

    The newest coffee shop in town is also a beer garden. Open daily for coffee at 6:30 a.m. and beer at 11 a.m., Aslin roasts their beans and brews their beer and sour ales in Northern Virginia. With a black sesame snickerdoodle latte on the menu and 24 taps inside and out, here's what you should know: 1) Location: 14th and S Streets NW by Nia Keturah's mural of Supreme Court Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson, 2) Hours: Daily at 6:30 a.m. for coffee and 11 a.m. for beer, 3) Amenities: Wifi, indoor and outdoor (some shaded) seating, restrooms, and one visible indoor power outlet, 4) Transportation: Street parking and the closest Metro Station is U Street along the Green and Yellow lines, 5) Nearby: Jane Jane for cocktails, Etto for pizza, and African American Civil War Museum for history.

    We went for the beer garden and had a great time! There was a long line to get in, but it was worth it. We loved the bright murals. The place was lively, loud, and packed! We were able to stake out a picnic table and share space with another group. There were cute doggies hanging out, too. They serve beer, wine and ciders. We enjoyed the selection. The ciders were strong! There was a bao bun food truck, and the food was great! This is a fun, happening spot, and I recommend you stop by to check it out.

    Great staff, great beer, good time! Only complaint is that finding a table is a bit of a free for all due to the popularity

They also have coffees. This is a fun place to end date night or visit with friends while sightseeing seeing in DC. Dolcezza is inside Palmer Alley, a fun place to take pictures. Visitors will find upscale shops and other restaurants in the immediate area. Chinatown Metro or Convention Center metro are a few blocks away. Paid metered parking is hit or miss. There are garages nearby. This place is worth a visit (or more).

    Famous Chef Thomas Reviews: Dolcezza (Washington, DC)…read more The Famous Chef Thomas visited Dolcezza in Washington, DC, expecting a proper café experience, especially at the prices being charged. When a place is asking $4 to $7 for tea or a latte, there is an obligation to deliver something above the level of a bargain counter operation. Instead, the Famous Chef Thomas was handed a tea cup with the tea bag resting on top, wasting valuable brewing time and shifting the work onto the customer like some cheap do-it-yourself setup. That may be understandable at McDonald's for $1.79, but at Dolcezza it is unacceptable. At these prices, the worker should have already put the tea bag in the cup, added the honey, and served a finished product with care. Do not charge premium café prices and then behave like preparation is somehow the customer's responsibility. And to casually tell the customer that the honey is over at the stand only adds insult to laziness. Hospitality is not pointing. Hospitality is serving. What makes it worse is that this place has clearly declined from where it was when it first opened years ago. The standards are slipping, and it shows in more than one way. The table was dirty, and because this visit was early in the morning, that dirt had to be left over from the previous day. That is not a small oversight. That is evidence of poor closeout, poor maintenance, and weak attention to detail. Then came the final insult: too many bugs. The Famous Chef Thomas had to kill them or dodge them just to sit there, which made it impossible to enjoy the experience without feeling like he was in a battle against being bitten. A café cannot expect customers to relax, sip tea, and enjoy themselves while swatting pests away from the table. Dolcezza is charging as if it still deserves a premium reputation, but the service, cleanliness, and overall execution no longer support it. Premium prices require premium standards. The Famous Chef Thomas did not receive them here. The verdict: lazy service, dirty conditions, bugs, and a café experience that has fallen far below its old standard. The Famous Chef Thomas is not impressed
