Plain Croissant
Gabrielle B.

On the basis of croissants, this one is quite buttery. It is both crunchy and flakey, something I look for in each assessment. The bread itself is light and soft. As far as fast food cafes go I would get this croissant again. Came in hardly under 5 dollars. That is unfortunately uncommon the woman at the counter asked me how I was doing, and I did the same. Very nice vibe inside but a bit too busy to post up and study.

A charming and clean café with friendly staff. Service was quick and efficient. The coffee was good, though not particularly special. There are plenty of tables and chairs if you'd like to sit down and enjoy your drink.

Bird and its shit stains everywhere, make sure your coffee doesnt get any droplets!

Avoid at all cost, health hazard establishment with birds flying around and shit stains everywhere (shown on the images). Staff couldnt care less that a bird poop dropped an inch away from our coffee. Will be reporting it to the health department.

Latte

This is a nice bluestone location downtown to grab coffee and a quick bite. I tried the latte, and the sunshine burrito which was a healthy breakfast burrito and also filling enough for a breakfast or brunch order. There are seating options indoor and you can just seat yourself. The service was good and our food didn't take too long before coming out. Definitely worth it if you're in the area.

I stopped by here for some coffee and food while my fiancé was running the rock n roll half-marathon. My iced vanilla latte was great and my salmon toast was a little underwhelming. It was very sour like they juiced a whole lemon on top of it but overall, it was really quick and easy!

Iced Matcha Latte
Seanniece B.

Overall vibe: the place is lovely. Very esthetic and the decor seemed up with the times. Service: there was only one barista, unfortunately. I felt for him. Even with the long line, he was really nice and got our drinks in a good time. I got the iced matcha with almond milk. It was my first time so I didn't know it was very lightly sweetened. It was good but I'd ask for more sweetener next time. I'm so used to overly sweetened matcha lattes. I also got a ginger and pineapple just to go. It was good but a little bitter. I ended up adding some more pineapple to it and it balanced out.

Bacon cheese egg croissant.
Jeffrey M.

Nice friendly staff, decent tasting food. Very loud ambiance (concrete floors will do that). No plates so had to put my $11 sandwich on a paper towel. Returned my cappuccino for a redo because they put cinnamon powder on it.

Egg & Cheese w/ Greens Croissant
Justis T.

The food is fresh, the portion sizes and prices are reasonable, and the ambiance is light and airy. Unfortunately, I didn't have the chance to interact with the staff much as I placed my order online before I arrived. My drink was waiting for me upon arrival, but my food took a bit longer. While none of the food is entirely foreign to Americans (short of the Vegemite), it's clear that the menu is made up of health conscious options. This location is located directly across the street from an Metro Center Metro (Red/Orange/Blue/Silver lines) exit at the intersection of 13th and G Streets, NW.

Worst location and rudest employee working at the register ever. Overpriced breakfast wrap falling apart with nothing in it.

Their medium coffee is smaller and more expensive than any of the other coffee shops in this area. Also understaffed and poor service.

All the pastry was delightfully flaky and appropriately filled. Pistachio croissant was dancing on the edge of being a bit too sweet but went very well with my latte. Latte and cappuccino were nothing to write home about, potentially underextracted as there wasn't too much flavor coming through. Totally inoffensive and wouldn't hesitate to get another espresso drink if we were grabbing pastries again. Nice quaint limited outdoor seating. Had a nice chat while we demolished our goods right out front. Very knowledgeable and friendly staff that knows how to move the line quickly!

We also got a mocha and a vanilla latte made with their house vanilla syrup. Both drinks were delicious. The pastries were quite tasty, our favorites were the balsamic, mozzarella and tomato, savory pastry, as well as both the berry and cream cheese pastry, and almond croissant. The housemaid vanilla are up in the vanilla latte had great flavor and was not overly sweet. They didn't have a variety of milk options or your coffee drinks. A small table outside in minimal seating inside makes this bakery best for takeout. Staff was friendly and efficient. When we came, but I could see how there may be a line of times based on how good the pastries were and how small the storefront space. As bonus points, the merch is super cute with the little wiener dog on it!

I asked for a double to-go that would survive the subway, and they hooked it up in a coffee cup with a lid. An hour later, the gelato still held its shape and texture! During peak hours, finding a seat can be tough due to limited seating and the small space. I wasn't expecting peak hours to be so late at night - I'm impressed! Swing by if you get the chance. The shop has a wide variety of flavors, so there's something for everyone :)

Wow! This is some of the best ice cream I have ever had, and I have enjoyed gelato at the infamous…read moreGelateria Dondoli in Tuscany, Italy, and top rated Leopolds in Savannah, GA. Flavors are truly unique, something you may never find anywhere else. You can get two flavors in a small bowl, and the serving size is NOT small! I enjoyed their popular MASCARPONE AND BERRIES for one flavor. It was really good. Creamy with a slight cream cheese like flavor. The fresh berries are a wonderful mix in. I paired this with ROASTED STRAWBERRY. They literally roast the strawberries before adding to the gelato. It tastes like real strawberries! It was phenominal, and my favorite of the two if I had to pick. My daughter ordered the PISTACHIO falvor, a traditional gelato offering. It was extra dense while creamy delicious. I sampled the OLIVE OIL soft serve. It tasted predominantly like vanilla. I wouldn't order this one. Expect a long line coming out of the storefront. It moves reasonably quick and is worth the wait! The staff made it a fun experience, and were not frazzled over the long line (at least didn't show it).

The Royal is one of my local go-tos! I've been able to walk in successfully on weeknights but…read morerecommend reservations for weekends. Most recently went as a party of 4 and got the crab beignets, beef arepa, masa gnocci, and parillada for two. Crab beignets were our favorite - perfectly crispy and great flavor. Masa gnocci was a little overcooked this time but still yummy. Beef arepa is a classic dish to get at the royal; two people can easily share one arepa. Parillada was a hearty entree and probably best for 2-3 people. This amount of food altogether was just nice. We probably could have ordered one more thing to be extra full. I don't typically get Latin American food but love all the flavors at this restaurant. Next time will try their breakfast menu!

It had a beautiful chew with the classic burger toppings with an amazing pairing of their slaw with a garlicy aioli. The bun was very pillowy and soft with a nice crust. They also never lack on their specialty lattes. I got their carrot cake latte and it was just so fabulous. Extremely smooth espresso and perfectly steamed milk. Syrups made in house of course and you can tell. Just a perfect latte. I usually am an iced latte person but I recommend getting their lattes hot. Hits different.
