Delicious dirty chai and fresh breakfast sandwich. Happy I stopped in! Breakfast and lunch offerings, original art on the wall, and jazz in the air. Perfect! read more

Had a doctor appointment down the street so I popped in afterwards. Small place but cute and convenient and a really good variety of drinks and food. I got some cut watermelon which was fresh and a lovely soy latte with such amazing latte art! The girl behind the counter was really friendly and the owner I believed was making the espresso drinks. There's outdoor seating and some small tables and a few comfy chairs inside. Free wifi as well :) definitely going to come back next time I'm in the area! read more

Coffee Nature - Small soy latte! Very delicious! I believe they used unsweetened soy milk which I prefer! - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Washington, DC, District of Columbia

Great food option in what is otherwise a bit of a lunch spot dessert. The bibimbap is reliably good, and apparently I need to try their lattes. I am a bit baffled by the review posted by the patron who asked for a free taste of coffee and didn't get it, and then based on that experience, decided never to return. I have never asked for a free sample of coffee at a coffee shop, and I wouldn't expect to get one, unless it was offered to me. Why not just put on your big boy pants and buy a cup to try it for yourself? read more

I have been a patron of Coffee Nature for several years now. It's a pleasant spot--very condusive for working (reading or laptop), and comfortable if you are just there for your coffee. The lattes at Coffee Nature are really very good--a nice balance of smooth espresso and frothy, creamy milk, that is always topped with a very cheerful design. Personally, I prefer the straight latte at Coffee Nature. I ordered the mocha and white mocha once and remember it being too sweet for my taste. I have had the donuts once or twice there. They hit the spot at the time but I don't remember them being particularly distinctive outside of that. I think they are just donuts and if you are there and need a donut, it's a safe choice. I haven't had the food so am unable to offer any feedback on that front. But on the coffee, I'd definitely day go for it without hesitation. You won't be sorry. read more

I used to go to this place before it changed to Coffee Nature, and they still have good coffee (and put together an excellent cappuccino). They've got a great patio area for people watching just off Wisconsin Ave, food options are good, and the employees are very friendly. Just as an FYI, you have to spend at least $5 to use a card, else bring some cash. Regardless, whenever I'm up that way, I try to hit the shop up and support the small business. read more

Coffee Nature - Signage - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Washington, DC, District of Columbia

Stumbled across this place thanks to the great Yelp reviews. The Nutella latte was outstanding. The coffee itself was probably the best that I have ever had. Quiet little coffee shop with interesting drinks. I'll be back next time I'm in the neighborhood. read more

Coffee Nature - Hazelnut Latte!!! Absolutely amazing!!!!! - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Washington, DC, District of Columbia

I need to stop forgetting that this place is down the street from my office because it is such a gem! I've yet to order a coffee or tea beverage that wasn't absolutely perfect. Since I typically come during the day/before lunch it's usually not very crowded, and I could see setting up shop there to study or work. All of the employees are very friendly and nice. read more

Great coffee. Enjoying my half-caf Americano, and it is grand! The barista made a special cappuccino drawung for my wife's birthday! Love this place. read more

I ventured up to Tenleytown to visit some friends at AU and we trudged through the snow to find this quaint café a few blocks from the metro. As we walked in, we were welcomed by a music performance by a young woman singing while playing the guitar and harmonica. Despite the lack of space, we were able to find a couple chairs and tables for our group of three next to the musician and front window. We ordered some sandwiches and lattes- I personally was eager to see the latte art for my nutella latte. The latte itself was on point- it had a nutty after taste, remnants of nutella at the bottom of the cup and an adorable latte art design of a cat. One of my friends ordered a regular latte and got a snowman design on her latte. Given that it is rare to find cafés that provide latte art for their drinks, we were all pleasantly surprised and impressed with our coffee. The sandwiches were pretty average, but there were a lot of food items to choose from, including korean cuisine. I omitted a star due to the lack of space to move around or ability to find a place to sit, slight disorganization when it comes to ordering and the service was not one of the more positive experiences I've had at a coffee shop. Overall though, I would come here again to try other drinks and food they have to offer. read more

Coffee Nature - Regular latte and nutella latte - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Washington, DC, District of Columbia

LOVE their coffee and espresso. Please try Cortata. You have to.

This place is inexplicably expensive, and the service is spotty. If there were alternatives in the area, I don't think I'd come back. Alas, it's this or the chain places for grab-and-go coffee and a breakfast sandwich. The iced coffee is just OK - it's no cold brew masterpiece like you'll find at Dolcezza -- but it's about the most expensive stuff you'll find in this city. The breakfast sandwiches are made-to-order and pretty delicious, but the better ones with meat and veggies thrown in will cost you $7.99. Put it all together, and your grab-and-go breakfast just cost you $12. I grit my teeth and bear these prices about once a week, but I've noticed recently that they are messing up my order. I always, always order the breakfast power sandwich, but I get something different every time. It's supposed to be loaded with several kinds of veggies, meat, and cheese. Once it had only egg and cheese. The next time it was sausage, egg, and cheese. I'm not sure what's getting lost in translation, but I shouldn't have to worry about opening up my bag before I head out the door. read more

Great little place with a cozy atmosphere. Coffee was good and the staff was friendly. Didn't eat but the food looked good. read more

Coffee Nature - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Washington, DC, District of Columbia

The place was so cold and it looked like a storage hoarded coffee place. The sandwich was too salty for me. The coffee was nice so I recommend take-outs. read more

I'm very picky on sandwiches and I was craving a sandwich for breakfast. Fortunately I found they had good review on the yelp . I ordered New York ST. Sandwiches witch it's was suprised me absolutely delicious then I ordered another grilled chicken panini with ciabatta bread to go . I have to say it was very very delicious if you like pesto . It reminds me the sandwiches "i'tosto" in Florence Italy .i definitely will come back when I'm in town . But coffee could be better . I'm not really care about the coffee . I gonna try different sandwiches next time !!! read more

Coffee Nature - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Washington, DC, District of Columbia

See all

Stumbled on this little treasure after a massage around the corner. What a find!!! Korean coffee shop with lovely teas I want to try, and so many food options from bibimbap to grilled cheese. Must be close to a school, was here on a Friday at noon and seems to be a lunch spot. But also mixed in the crowd were families and people working. Just a lovely neighborhood spot where everyone's comfy. Highly recommend! read more

My wife asked to have lunch here before she took me to Middle C, which makes me think I should listen to her a lot more! We had bulgogi rice bowls and a cup of coffee with the most virtuosic latté art I've seen in any cafe/deli setting. We've never had a more filling yet relaxing lunch than this one. The ambiance of this place feels very relaxed, welcoming, and very centered around the community. The couches with the window seats are the best in the house for a meditative and wholesome experience as you eat good food drink a beautiful coffee read more

It's so nice!!!! sandwich, coffee.. everything is awesome!!! Especially, grilled chicken is the best signature sandwich I've ever had. I think I'm going to be here a lot. read more

Feels like this is going to be my favorite coffee place. I've been looking for almost 6 months now for a place where the latte art looks good and most important: tastes good!!!! The cappuccino was fantastic, the atmosphere is inspiring and the people here are friendly. They play nice music :)) read more

Coffee Nature - Meow! - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Washington, DC, District of Columbia

Update - the lunch sandwiches are AMAZING! Just stopped by today for lunch & was blown away by how great it was! Still excellent as ever. Terrific coffee & service & pastries. Great breakfasts. True neighborhood gem. I love this place! And my daughters love it too. read more

A great small coffee shop, good at what it does...which is to be small and quaint. I have used Coffee Nature often as a study spot (I'm a graduate student) and with good coffee and small seating area, which prevents the noise from getting too loud, I highly recommend it as a place to get away and do some reading. It should be noted though that this is not a hip trendy coffee shop, but for what it is, it is perfect. read more

Excellent lattes and definitely the best coffee place we've tried in the Friendship Heights area

Very nice place. Clean and fast service. The coffee was nice and strong just the way I like it. The staff could be a little more friendly though. Maybe a smile and a good morning would have made it a better experience. At least the breakfast sandwich was ok and the coffee good. If I'm in the area I would probably go back but wouldn't go out of my way for it. read more

I love this cafe. I live in the neighborhood and work from home, so I spend a lot of time at this place drinking coffee and working on the free wireless. They've got great coffee and really great service. I loved this cafe when it used to be Conie's so I was really sad to see Conie and her sister go when they sold it last month. However, the new owners have kept the friendly neighborhood cafe vibe while revitalizing the menu and the milieu. If you haven't been here in while, check it out again. And if you've never been, come on by the new Coffee Nature. read more

Great coffee, nice little spot to pull out of traffic, pick up the free wifi and chill for a bit. But at noon, there is a high school near by and it was overrun with teens for about 30 minutes. Not a big deal, but if you are looking to get some work done - avoid weekday lunch. They also make this specialty, really healthy rice drink and it is wonderful. read more

I'm not a big coffee drinker but found this to be a great spot to grab a quick bite to eat. It's tucked off on a relatively quite side street. Being the quintessential neighborhood coffee shop you can grab your laptop and enjoy the free wifi while sipping on your favorite hot drink. The owners are very nice as well as the patrons. It's normally very quite but the kids from the high school come in droves at lunch and after school. Try the ginger honey tea it's a great pick-me-up. read more

OMG!!! Apparently DCers do not even know what constitutes a gawdawful cup of coffee. Everything we got here was worse than crap. First, my wife and I ordered a coffee beverage each and she a croissant. Our bill was $25. We were charged for four beverages that had none of what we ordered. The cashier had to go to the owner and had to wait. He had to take care of the refund and then she took our order. The croissant was stale so I returned it and had to wait for the owner to do the refund. Finally when coffees were ready for us; they neither matched our order or what we originally were charged for. So again we had to wait. When our order came they did indeed look beautiful. But they were room temp and tasted like coffee that had been on a warmer for several days. So I went in to return them and asked for a refund. We had to wait and the owner was all 'whatever' with his attitude. Please, Washingtonians, learn what a good latte and cappuccino really taste like. There are a handful of decent coffee shops in town (hint: not that overly strong burnt crap from Starbucks). read more

Perfect neighborhood coffee shop. The coffee is well above average. He has been doing the milk designs for years back when it was a rare find. Great atmosphere as well. The food is what makes Coffee Nature an exceptional coffee bar. The sandwiches and bowls are great. This is actually a neighborhood coffee shop that I would recommend even if you are not in the neighborhood read more

Really popular spot that gets quite crowded. Had an underwhelming breakfast sandwich but enjoyed the cafe. The coffee is high quality

Been here four times now wanting to support independent businesses. We like the coffee and like the espresso a lot, even though it is the most expensive in the area. But that cannot overcome the unbelievable impersonal, downright rudeness of the one female cashier, the indifference of the owner, and the fact that the bathroom has always been dirty at each visit. While the owner sits at a back table surfing the Internet, the vacant tables have crumbs and empty drink cups on them. No one seems to be particularly interested in our business or, providing even a modicum of decent customer service. Sorry, we're done here. read more

This is more than a coffee shop. The Korean food is delicious. I also love the bulgogi breakfast sandwich on ciabatta.

I went here for breakfast a couple of weeks ago. I'd driven past the place before, and was curious about it, but had never been in. I was so surprised to see the variety of things on their menu, including a bulgogi omelet! I got a ham, egg, and cheese sandwich and it was great. I also got the Nutella latte, which was like heaven in a cup. It even came with pretty foam art on top. The staff are very friendly, there's nice outdoor seating, and there's free WiFi. I'll be back! read more

What a cute place. I ordered the Nutella latte and it came with a cat face rather than the normal heart or leaf! What a nice touch. My friend and I sat outside for hours and enjoyed the nice weather. Will try the food next time. read more

Such a pleasant little coffeeshop. Chicken panini was tasty on great bread. They have a nice selection of sodas and juices, and an extensive coffee menu. I sat by the window working on my laptop and the owner sent over a free sample of frozen yogurt. I was too full to get the full serving, but I totally would've. Their cali tart is much closer to what real tart frozen yogurt should taste like than a lot of the other establishments in DC specializing in froyo. The place smells delicious, the proprietors are super friendly, and it's a great place to grab a bite to eat and do whatever you prefer to do in a cafe. While I was there, several people floated in and chatted with the owner for quite a while. This place definitely has a neighborly feel. Not having tried their coffee yet, I can't really give them a 5, but Coffee Nature is a real gem. read more

This coffee shop is dirty and creepy and weird. I came here based on the Yelp reviews, and I was really disappointed. They seriously need to clean this place. Better yet, burn it down and rebuild. read more

I love this place, especially since it has been under new management and took on the name Coffee Nature. Friendly staff, delicious coffee, tasty food. Definitely my go-to place on Sunday mornings! read more

Coffee nature is a great cafe experience. I come here at least twice a week! They have great bagels for breakfast, and my personal fav is the chicken panini for lunch. It has sun dried tomatoes, spinach, and provolone cheese! So good! Besides the food, their coffee is great quality. I love the caffe mocha (dark chocolate)! Also, they have tons of different pour over coffee blends that are so flavorful and fresh. My favorite is the John Brown blend. It has undertones of sweet pipe tobacco and dark chocolate. So unique! You have to try it!!!!!! If you're looking for a quiet coffee shop to study and have a great lunch, this is definitely your place. And Saturdays are open mic! read more

It's just ok. Do I wish friendship heights had a better local coffee shop? Absolutely. I still come here instead of Pete's and Starbucks but it has a dirty feel with boxes stacked everywhere. The owner sits on his computer. The coffee is good. Egg and cheese (I believe american cheese) on a soft bagel is mediocre. read more

I've given coffee nature two tries so far and have been disappointed. My first visit I ordered a medium cappuccino, I got a latte. There was a nice heart drawn on top but your shouldn't be able to do coffee art on a cappuccino, also it tasted as though the milk had been used too many times. I managed s coffee shop for 4 years and have made thousands of cappuccinos so I know what one is supposed to taste like. I decided to give them another chance since my office is moving into the neighborhood, I went in this morning and ordered a large cappuccino and was offered a drip coffee instead apparently the espresso machine was down. So I asked what coffee they were serving " regular coffee " he said. Someone at Starbucks might not know the origin of the coffee being served but an independent usually has more coffee knowledge. It being baseball season they get 3 pitches, I'll try again tomorrow. read more

Love this place! They have a great menu, I had bibimbap and a misugaru shake, a quiet table and relaxed to music. Everyone was very friendly, Joseph the owner was in house and I could tell he cared about the cafe. It was a refreshing spot to take refuge on a busy Friday afternoon. Am definitely going back. read more

What makes a coffee shop a favorite? At the end of the day, it's the personal touch. I stopped by once and it was so busy I ended up leaving. The owner--who was clear at the other end of the place when I entered and quickly exited--reached out to me later, apologized and offered a drink on the house. I came back a week later and he comped me a drink even though I didn't bring it up! I also love the surroundings, the coffee, and a varied menu of Western sandwiches and Korean food! (Tucking into a spicy pork belly rice bowl now.) read more
