    Vanilla Latte (w vanilla bean specs )
    Kaya A.

    The strawberry Jasmin matcha soda and blueberry chamomile matcha soda are both perfect.

    Love Game
    Phoebe D.

    Love the vibe at Doubles - great place to chill and hang out on the weekends and also great for coworking during the week. The coffee is a little bit on the fruitier side but I enjoyed it in a latte with their vanilla syrup. I also got the Love Game breakfast sandwich and it was delicious and substantial - specifically the bread was amazing (as to be expected of a place specializing in pizzas). Would love to come back and try their lunch options as well!

    Cute cafe with outdoor seating and upstairs seating that has a ping pong table you can actually play!! Not too much indoor seating, but PLENTY of patio tables that shares the space with Sonny's Pizza (same ownder). There's wifi and still + sparkling water station! I've enjoy many different seasonal coffee drinks here. They use Small Planes coffee roaster usually, but do rotate sometimes. Would love to come back to try some food items, which they stop serving around 2pm.

    Perfect patio day! Wanted to find a place where I could sit and read for hours. While they aren't squishy arm chairs there is plenty of seating. It shares a patio with the pizza joint next door so definitely doing that next time!

    This is a great space to cowork! There's nice tables with outlets and free WiFi as well. I did find the WiFi to be a bit spotty so I switched to my hotspot but I still loved working here. I ordered an iced lavender mint latte and the love game breakfast sandwich with no bacon. The latte was great and I loved my sandwich! The tomato jam added in really elevated the sandwich for me.

    Wow, this might be my favorite cafe in DC! I ordered a vanilla latte and the Shewolf sandwich. The latte was solid. The sandwich was really really good! The wrapper said Sonny's. I didn't realize they are connected so that explains the delicious sandwich. The space has two floors. The people are really nice and the music is not too loud. The second floor has a pingpong table as well. I love it and will be back!

    We went to pick up and the wait was not terrible on a busy Saturday morning! The ambiance was cute and the breakfast sandwiches were to die for. Our only qualm is that the lattes were the price of Starbucks and like half the size (see pic). Tasted great just wish it lasted longer

    Indoor seating (view from back of cafe)

    Cute and bustling neighborhood stop. Came in on a Sunday and felt the whole neighborhood was here. Lots of laptops. Cool haircuts. Plenty of seating inside and out.

    Very cute. Intimate place to meet /work! Very friendly and knowledgeable. I ordered an ice Americano with a pump of chocolate the chocolate they make in-house delicious. I definitely recommend this place, but parking can be a bit of a challenge.

    I liked this place. The baristas were really friendly. If you go on the weekends expect a line as it got super busy but there's also a lot of seating both indoor and outdoor, though finding a plug was a challenge. I enjoyed my drink though I think the size was a little small but I also really recommend you check out the breakfast sandwich, well worth the price! I paid for street parking nearby. I would go back again!

    espresso drinks  @davideatsdc
    David H.

    awesome coffee shop, awesome space. the espresso drinks and single origin pour overs were delicious. The mushroom focaccia made in house was awesome. the ham and cheese turnover was also good - touch dry but the bites with the ham and cheese were delicious. lots of seating inside, upstairs, and a patio out back.

    vanilla latte, ham and cheese turnover
    Carly W.

    The food and drink were good though the selection was quite small. The area is very cute and there's a decent amount of seating though when I was here I could barely find a place to sit down. I like that there's outlets at the seats though the WiFi is very spotty and I ended up just using my own hotspot.

    Extra hot oat chai latte
    Brittany M.

    I stop by this place a couple of times a month. It's a popular work spot during the week and the seating inside and on the heated patio are plentiful. Their chai and hot chocolate are pretty good. I've also enjoyed their seasonal ciders. The love game sandwich is also good and a great portion for the price. I usually save half and reheat the next day.

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 visited on a Sunday night around 8 PM and there was a small line, going out the door by a few people. It moved quickly enough. I like the shop decor a lot, with clean lines, large windows, and a few seats. I had a large ($10ish) with three scoops: Hazelnut Crackle (like ferrero rocher), Black and White Cookie Batter, Vietnamese Cinnamon. These all worked pretty well together. The star was the Hazelnut, which did taste exactly like ferrero, which meant it was delicious. I found the cinnamon a bit to punchy on its own (like Red Hots, which I don't like), but it mellowed out when eaten with the other flavors. The Black and White Cookie did taste like one, but that also meant it was not as strong as flavor as the other two.

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!

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.
