I met my friend here who is from the area and really into coffee. He swears by it. I am personally not a huge coffee drinker, and I ended up getting just an iced coffee. It was really good! Also reasonably priced compared to other fancy yet local coffee places I've been. I really wanted another but decided I didn't need the caffeine. It was very crowded when we went (it was a weekend early afternoon) and so the only seating available was upstairs. There is a ping-pong table up there, so things were a bit hectic, but it seems like an amazing place to go at night! The view from up there was also wonderful!! read more

Citrus Chamomile tea was $2.50 here. That price is right. Service is attentive. This place reminds me of one that you would see off the beaten path in Brooklyn. The crowd is young and hispter. I am glad to know about this location. I met here for District Running Collective's Wednesday run and it was great. The upstairs area was able to house the bags/gear of 30+ people comfortably, while two guys played an all out game of ping pong. I can't wait til its warm to check out the patio in the rear. read more

Great beer. Great cheese. Atmosphere is welcoming and chill. Their jazz nights are awesome.

I love this place - great ambiance, (usually) very friendly staff, sparkling water on tap, and amazing coffee (I am prone to their almond latte, which uses Pacific almond milk and is great). I will say that the breakfast items that I once tried were just average (quiche and a breakfast scone), mostly because they weren't evenly reheated due to the use of a toaster oven... I'm not sure I'd order them again with other options closer by, but the scone would definitely be welcomed back in a pinch! Also, the patio area is amazing, there are lots of outlets and free wifi for people looking to work (usually the majority of the indoor clientele), the ping pong room is fun and well thought out (a.k.a. thank you, plexiglass along the stairwell railing, for keeping the ball upstairs during our amateur attempts at play), and the after-hours menu is intriguing enough that one of these days, I'll be lured away from Looking Glass and head down GA to check it out, which is a pretty big compliment. read more

-good lighting -above average coffee -pastries (I agree with that other guy that there should be a way to warm them) -decent number of outlets -various types of seating: regular tables, bar table, couch, armchair, at the bar. -wifi Cool set up: Modern looking furniture with exposed industrial ceiling, family photos, and fun coffee table books. Ping Pong: Definitely sets it apart from other bars in the area...though I'm worried that the ping pong ball will frequently go down the stairs... Compared to all the other places in the area that you can study at, this is by far the best. Believe me, I've tried them all. And best of all, it's a quick walk from my house! read more

I kind of like this place. This is my third visit and the coffee shop is clean and modern. I also enjoy the iced chai tea. So, I believe it is a nice gem in the "hood". The baristas are kind and personable. I will be back soon. read more

This place is a welcome addition to park view! It's a much needed spot to grab a nice cup of coffee and chill out or do some work. Funky furniture and nice lighting make for an inviting atmosphere. Staff are relaxed and friendly. The place uses ceremony coffee and has pastries from bake house- both are solid local brands. I only went in for coffee, but I look forward to going over in the evening for some ping pong! read more

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

A great coffee spot that turns into a bar at 5 pm. It's really nice looking inside with lots of seats, couches and high-tops. I've been a bunch of times to hang out, work or goof on my laptop, and enjoy some tasty coffee drinks. It's not big so it can be crowded during the day, but there's a nice back space too. They also have cookies and pastries that are quite tasty. When it's less busy I like sitting on the couch and reading the interesting coffee table books about things like 1970s soccer, architecture and music. Upstairs there's a big ping pong table, which is fun, and they have a good beer selection for bar time -- but you can't get alcohol at all before 5. The only drawback is the tinned fish -- they have fancy European fish in tins, which is a good idea, but it's pretty pricey. read more

There is something really freshening about waking up early and strolling down to the local coffee shop. I actually live in Burke so it was a bit of a hike but is there a better way to start the weekend than with an adventure? Colony Club is super hip and welcoming. I felt really cool just by being in there! The barista (these aren't your normal coffee slingers; they really know their stuff!) was tall with a hat and glasses and he was really nice. They also have bagel sandwiches on the weekends. Bagels were strictly forbidden in my house growing up so I love to indulge whenever I get the chance. I had the salmon one which was delicious but some of it got stuck in my teeth. After ordering I went out to the back patio so that Tom wouldn't see me when he came in. Then I waited. Colony Club seems like a really good place to get work down because a lot of people were on computers. Also it's a wonderful place to catch up with friends and I eavesdropped on a bunch of conversations to learn what was cool nowadays. After about two hours Tom came in and I was able to confront him for getting me fired. First he took my wife and then cost me my job! I mean, obviously I was upset about the separation so I was going to say or do some things. I just think the stress should have been taking into consideration. What is malicious harassment anyway? Tom wasn't very happy to see me when I charged at him in the open space of the store. He told me to stop calling his house and threatening him or he'd call the police. Someone else said they are calling the police after I took a swing, which is fair, but it wasn't like a made contact. He's pretty quick, like a critter. Really, my only criticism of the Colony Club is that it's Tom's favorite coffee shop, but I can't really hold that against them after such great coffee and service with a smile! read more

This is a great, welcome new addition. Large space, good flow. Interesting but clean design. Great coffee and pastries, reasonable prices. Can't wait to go back for evening refreshments. read more

Very chill and cool little club!! Nice drinks and wonderful live music on Thursday night! Love the vibe!! Will definitely come back, either for an afterwork hangout or just a cute night out :) read more

Best coffee shop aesthetic in dc. I came at night and sat by the window doing work. I loved it.

Best latte I've ever had. Staff and ambience are amazing and the back porch in a sunny day is a dream.

Colony Club is fantastic. They once were late by a negligible amount and gave me a free drink voucher - the service is amazing. They have great events, the bar has a good selection of drinks and is a great pre-game spots, the patio parties are fun, they have good live music, the pop-up are cool, they try a lot of things. This is an overall good place and an involved neighborhood store. A+ read more

I came here for an event and it was nice enough but MAN, somebody should really sit down with the owners and have a chat about the name! I've steered clear of it until recently, and only ventured inside because my friend was hosting a benefit show there. A hipster place, on Georgia Avenue, called Colony Club, sends a whole lot of messages they may not want to be sending. Maybe they think it's ironic. Maybe they'll wake up and change the name to SOMETHING, ANYTHING less cringeworthy. For now I'm not an ironic hipster so I'll just go to Harrar instead when I want coffee. read more

This narrow but deep coffee shop became my favorite place to get some work done. I can't speak to the coffee, but the tea and hot chocolate are delicious! There's just the right amount of background noise and there is a sunny back patio for when the weather is nice. The pastries look delicious but I wish they had a gluten free option. Still, I love this place! read more

Personally, coffee is coffee. I don't go to coffee shops to fully enjoy the taste of coffee like I do with food. I go for the customer service and ambiance to enjoy a good book. Baristas at Starbucks and Peet's coffee are a lot nicer and have way better customer service than the ladies that were here this morning. Just another hipster spot with no diversity. read more

A great neighborhood coffee shop during the day, and a pretty decent bar at night. The staff is friendly, the environment is welcoming, and it really is a great place to either work or relax. I haven't had any of the food here, but it definitely looks good. read more

We did not have the coffee. We came to play ping pong upstairs and had a lot of fun. There was nobody upstairs so played four games. Great atmosphere, relaxing coffee shop vibe. The vegan chocolate chip cookie we had was crunchy and good. read more

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

I love this place. Spacious interior, nice patio, quiet, cool upstairs, great street view, awesome coffee, free fizzy water on tap, awesome coffee, and best of all: really nice barristas. These guys are super friendly and have none of the coffee-shop hipster snark that can accompany great coffee like this. Go to there! read more

This place serves limited hot drinks after 5 but tours itself as a coffee place originally . This has encouraged many neighbors to take their business elsewhere Also no gluten free options at all read more

Solid coffee spot. My boyfriend and I came here to get some work done and found it to a great place to be productive. It's a small space, but it's not too loud, the wi-fi is decent, and there is plenty of seating. The almond lattes we ordered were delicious and the service was excellent. We looking forward to returning. read more

I came to this nice quaint coffee/bar as a result of an event that was happening in the upstairs game/meeting room. The ambiance is very chilled. I chose to have a drink from the bar rather than coffee. My drink was well made and the bartenders/baristas were very nice and cordial. If I stayed in this neighborhood I could see myself visiting more, especially if I wanted a drink without the typical bar crowd. read more

I can't figure out what this place is supposed to be. Coffee shop/bar. They close their "cafe" at 5 so you can't get a steam milk drink after that time. They also have a bar. Looks like a coffee shop, smells like a coffee shop but... read more

Love this place! The vibe is so chill. The chai is delicious. And I'm always greeted by warm and welcoming faces.

Come for a quick breakfast on a weekend morning. Breakfast sandwich was eggs, chives, and cheese on a toasted biscuit. It was warm, yummy, and filling. I also ordered an iced tea, which appeared to be individually steeped and then cooled over ice. Tasted fine, though I thought it could have been a little larger. Overall I felt it was a little pricey, but this could just be the norm for D.C. The space itself was bright. Seats were almost completely filled by people on laptops (taking advantage of free wifi). Not a bad option if you're in the area. read more

First visit but the experience was worth it. Very chill and friendly staff. Coffee options and essence were satisfying. Can't speak to bar time, happy hour or ping pong but morning coffee hour fit the bill. read more

Doubles - Caffeine boost and tempting baked goods. - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Washington, DC, District of Columbia

This is kind of my favorite coffee shop in DC. Free and quick WiFi, good food, great coffee, friendly service, all existing inside a well-designed, repurposed row home. It gave me Brooklyn vibes, and I will be back like weekly. read more

this is really my favorite vibe coffee shop. why? because this is probably the closest to the perfect cup o joe ever. it's at the perfect temperature and it's sooo smooth. it's probably the same temp as the cafe. you could drink a mouthful and feel all its wonderfulness just melt away your worries into a yummy latte. also ... i LOVE the space. it's so CLEAN and bright!! This along with "A Baked Joint" totally reminds me of New York vibes. If you're missin' those feels, come here, pronto. read more

Espresso drinks are high quality, and wifi and seating is great for working. Service can be slow and uninterested though.

I had been holding off from going here because I wasn't sure where that name was coming from really.....in a gentrifying neighborhood...but once I got in, I actually really did like the vibe. It's kind of hipster precious, but the low lighting, decor, small size, and quiet crowd were really nice. It's a great date spot, as they have a ping pong table upstairs. They have good prices on beers too. read more

Great coffee, amazing service, and free sparkling water! Not to mention ping pong upstairs, standing/sitting tables (you can switch it up if you end up working there all day), and booze starting at 5 pm. And now they have brunch with DGS! I could basically live here. It does get crowded on the weekends and seating can be difficult to find (as well as outlets). read more

Great coffee, great service. I'm really excited to see places like Colony Club revitalize this stretch of Georgia Avenue. Goodbye sketchy liquor store, hello hip coffee/beer joint. read more

Good coffee, good vibe. Reasonable prices. Great place to work at when you don't need to go into the office.

Amazing hot chocolate, not too sweet and nice and rich and I love how they put a heart swirl design in the cream on the top - great attention to detail, as with the design, decor, and chill funky music (in the morning at least). Great blueberry muffins, outdoor space in back looks like it'll be awesome, ideal neighborhood coffee shop & hangout. read more

Fantastic outdoor patio space! It's the perfect, quiet spot to have a leisurely coffee and buttery biscuit (because oh my goodness their biscuits...) read more

I'm dropping a star because their coffee just isn't that good. I love the space, ping pong, and just having a beer, but the coffee could be better. It's not that strong and has a bitter, sour taste. read more

The chai tea is amazing. I am not a fan of the macchiatto, it is very small and strong. The seating is very limited, especially if you come to do some afternoon work. Defiantly not the atmosphere to do any work!. read more

Fantastic addition to the neighborhood. Bartender Sarah P is an absolute treasure. Keep it up!

Millenial hipster heaven!! Sleek retro scandinavian furniture in the back, ping pong table up top. Friendly people working there every time I've been. Nice back patio on good weather days. Occasional cool events at night. read more
