Strawberry Shortcake Matcha
Kayla W.

This was right across from our hotel so we decided to pop in and I'm so glad we did. I got the strawberry shortcake matcha and while it did take awhile to get it, it was delish! I definitely want to come back and try some of the pastries.

We were happy this place was open late. Cute inviting cafe with lots of seating. We ordered a seasonal Cinnamon bun latte ice coffees. It was delicious. We were welcomed with a smile and service was quick.

Super convenient location near all the hotels on the block. They offer a wide variety of flavors to pair with their matcha, which makes it stand out. I tried the lemon curd matcha as a big lemon fan and it was a bit shocking at first, but after mixing it well, it really grew on me. Such a unique and creative flavor combo. The baristas are quick and will have your drink out in no time, even during a rush! Tip them! This is definitely worth a try if you like something different.

Let me start with I don't like matcha. I was just exploring Georgetown and needed a coffee. The line was out the door, but the reviews were good enough. I waited and boy was it worth it! The matcha exceeded all expectations and was better than the coffee! I got the Blondie coffee and the strawberry shortcake matcha. The coffee was delicious, but the matcha blew my mind. It was like a milkshake. I will say, this felt like a ladies only club... maybe it was the time I went, or men don't drink matcha? But my husband and one other man were the only men even close to the building.

Stopped by and had the coconut cream matcha latte - which was just pretty cold and comforting on a warm day. And yes these are pretty expensive.

I absolutely love blank street. Honestly made a day trip to DC because I was craving their matcha. They always have the best specialty / seasonal flavors. I ordered the banana bread matcha with oat milk because I had heard good things and it was delicious! I'm not a chugger usually but this matcha was gone in a blink. The line was not super long when I went and the cashier was friendly and fast with taking my order. The matcha is on the sweeter side, so if you like that it's perfect for you. One thing though is the more I drank the matcha, the less flavor it had - which may be attributed to the ice melting or my taste buds just getting used to the flavor haha. Still good though! Seating inside is limited but there were some people studying and chatting. It is a little cramped and loud so I wouldn't recommend studying here but a coffee hangout would be cute here!

Got the blondie matcha that came with miso, cookie butter and some other stuff. Very pretty layers but did not taste good. If your expecting any level of sweetness since it's a flavored matcha your mistaken. Tasted like watered down matcha with occasional chunks of cookie butter barely making it up the straw.

Iced Lemon Loaf Matcha & Iced blondie matcha
Manasa P.

Normally not a fan of coffee chains but blank street does a great job of introducing fun flavors to bring the crowd in! The line was out the door when i arrived but it moved quickly. The lemon loaf was strong but huge fan of the blondie!

I honestly really like blank street and thinks it's great coffee/matcha for being a big chain. DC is lacking when it comes to finding good matcha and honestly even if batch prepped I would say BS beats a lot of nearby local spots!

Blondie Iced Latte
Kaya A.

Unfortunately I think smearing a goo in an iced drink is insane so it's a no. Ican't mix this I only have a straw so I'm just going to throw it away

The service was okay. Two employees walked by the register, looked at me, ignored me, and went to the back. One of them came back and took my order. The interior is small and the trash was overflowing at the door. I ordered an iced pistachio latte with no opportunity to select my milk preference. The beverage had no pistachio taste. It was just an iced coffee. So many better coffee shops options in DC, you gotta stand out.

Banana bread matcha
Julia

I come here with my coworkers about once a week since it's a short walk from our office. Blank Street's matcha is the perfect afternoon treat to get me through the afternoon. I enjoy trying their new seasonal flavors, but me and my friends' go-to is the strawberry shortcake matcha. It is divine! I will say that sometimes the drinks are hit or miss based on who's working that day--we can usually tell when someone is new. Drinks are on the pricier side but I look forward to getting them so much that the price doesn't matter to me. I tried the Banana Bread matcha that launched yesterday, and was pretty disappointed with it, I didn't taste banana at all. Will be back soon to try the carrot cake matcha!

matcha flavor is nonexistent but if u know me.... i love sugar anyways :PPP.... BRING BACK THE PEANUT BUTTER MATCHA RAAAAAAAAH. it's SO good it quite literally tastes like peanut butter and jelly milk im not even joking. AND THE STRAWBERRY SHORTCAKE MATCHA???? dude idk how they managed to give it that vanilla sponge cake flavor along with the strawberry. that's what makes blank street so unique... the way they can upscale "strawberry" or "banana" flavors to "strawberry shortcake" or "banana bread" and give the drinks such DISTINCT dessert notes. just know its not gonna taste just like the fruit. don't go for the matcha per say but go for the insane flavors they can pull out and just surprise you. MY DRINK LITERALLY TASTES LIKE CAKE MMMMMM

Yours Cafe - Amazing coffee

Yours Cafe

I stopped here after an appointment to grab a quick bite and was pleasantly surprised. To start,…read morethe employee working on that day was so incredibly helpful. It was Friday early afternoon. She immediately greeted me as soon as I walked in and then went over all their options with me. They do open face sandwiches but she said any can be made into a regular sandwich. She gave me recommendations as well. I decided to go with the chicken open face sandwich but as a regular sandwich and the sea salt caramel latte to go. The latte was really good and was not weak. I ate the sandwich when I got home and it was also very good. The chicken and sumac onions were delicious! The place has plenty seating if you want to just work and drink coffee or order full meals with friends. There is also a good size patio in the front. It's definitely a nice addition to the area.

We enjoyed our morning at Yours Cafe, right before we walked up the street to the zoo. We love that…read morethey had their own coffee bean grinder in the back! The coffee was for sure a stand out. We each got the espresso with whipped cream. Heads up, for a coffee focused place the cream was definitely out of a can. But the coffee itself was amazing. For food we got a pistachio beignet, and a chocolate and pistachio croissant. The beignet is definitely not a beignet- it was a bit more bread like, though it still tasted good. And the pistachio cream, though delicious, was so runny. The croissant was good but also had the same pistachio cream issue. It dripped out. For food I had the bacon flaming tart, which tasted amazing! One thing to note- the menu says capers, but it's scallions. That was a welcomed error, since I love scallions! We also got drinks, and I enjoyed my pistachio beverage. Overall, I'd say out of the options nearest the zoo, this is one of the best.

We stopped by Colada Shop during our trip to DC, and it ended up being one of our favorite meals…read morenear the Wharf! The restaurant is super cute, with a fun cafe vibe, and it's an easy walk from the waterfront. We ordered the Colada Trio, which came with empanadas, cauliflower sliders, and yuca fries. Everything was delicious, and it came with three different sauces that were honestly all so good. I could've eaten those sauces with everything. We also ordered the Platanachos (plantain nachos), which were flavorful and such a fun twist on traditional nachos. They accidentally forgot the cauliflower and mushroom topping, but as soon as I mentioned it, they brought it out right away along with extra sauce. Mistakes happen, but what matters is how a place handles them, and they were incredibly accommodating, which I really appreciated. It was pretty busy when we visited, and I noticed who I believe was the manager or owner helping clean tables and checking on guests. I always love seeing that kind of hands-on involvement. Great food, friendly service, and an awesome location if you're exploring the Wharf. I'd definitely recommend stopping by!

Overall, a 3 out of 5. Came in to take a look at the pastries but ended up getting a plantain…read morelatte. The drink is sweeter than I expected, which makes sense because it's plantain, but it has actual plantain pieces in it. I'd rather it be a syrup instead of little plantain chunks when you sip the drink. It's okay, but I wouldn't get it again. I'd like to come back in the morning and actually get some of the fresh pastries, as opposed to later in the evening. If I hadn't just eaten somewhere else, I definitely would have tried the cuban.

Tatte never disappoints…read more Both their coffee and their food is wonderful. I also think they have excellent Cortado.

I honestly don't know where to start other than saying the baristas need to slow down, relax, and…read moretreat customers with respect. As someone who works in the industry and is very familiar with coffee and coffee shops, I was genuinely shocked by how rude and unprofessional the staff was. I ordered a house latte with an extra double shot, which made it a quad shot, and I also paid for extra ice and requested that it be served in a large cup. It wasn't a complicated order. When I saw a drink come up, I politely asked, "Is that mine by any chance?" The barista immediately told me to "hush" and said, "I'm not talking to you." I found that incredibly disrespectful and completely unacceptable. When my drink was finally handed to me, I simply asked if the quad shot had been added since I had paid extra for it. Instead of answering my question, the barista ignored me entirely, and another employee had to respond. The employee, Taleisha Young, who was wearing glasses, was especially rude throughout the interaction. No customer should be spoken to that way, especially when they're simply asking about an order they paid extra to customize. Customer service and professionalism should be a priority, and this experience fell far below that standard. Unfortunately, I will not be returning, and I will be sharing my experience on other review platforms as well. I hope management addresses the behavior of its staff so other customers don't have a similar experience.
