Came across them previously at a dmv chocolate festival. Finally able to stop by checking them out. Quick stop and got kopi susu is basically coffee and milk when translated aka latte :). Friendly and fast service just wished we had more time to sit down. There are rooms in the back area but seemed pretty full and there's also outdoor seating out front. Would revisit to sit down enjoy my coffee with the food items!

Started off our 2nd day in DC with a wonderful coffee from DUA. Now I'm just a regular chai latte kind of guy, but DUA is an Indonesian specialty coffee shop and it looked like they served some amazing specialty coffees. My iced chai latte was so good and refreshing. Service was good/no frills. I'm ok with that. Cute shop up front. Looks like there was more space in the back. Will definitely come back on our next trip to DC.

The coffee shop is right up the street from my job and I love it! Today I wasn't exactly in the mood for an iced coffee or latte, instead I opted for a probiotics health drink. The strawberry lavender kombucha was great the last time that I had it, so I got it again today. Along with a nice banana muffin made for a nice start of the day. The cafe is just the perfect size, unlike a huge cafeteria style cafe, and nothing corporate at all about this place. The outdoor seating is in direct sight of the park which is awesome! The area has been cleaned up a lot over the past couple of months which has made everything around here so much better.

Pandan Iced Latte
Mya C.

I unfortunately was not a fan of my drink. I ordered a pandan iced latte. There wasn't a strong pandan flavor (perhaps asking for extra syrup would help). I also thought it was a bit watered down. I've heard such great things about this place so maybe it was just a bad day. I think it's worth trying because others have had such good experiences.

Aren latte (large)

My favorite coffee shop in DC so far, by far. Dua DC is an Indonesian-coffee shop serving delicious coffee and amazing vibes -- the kind that remind you life is beautiful. They were playing bossa and jazz. I opted for the Aren latte and Indonesian beef rissole. Aren latte: 5/5 Latte with an in-house made Aren (palm sugar from West Java) for that hint of molasses and dark brown sugar This was one of my favorite coffees I've had in a while. There was a delicious coffee taste not overshadowed but rather enhanced by the smoky sweet taste of the Aren. I'll be thinking about this latte for a while. Indonesian beef rissole: 3/5 Batter-like skin rolled in breadcrumbs filled with savory ground halal beef & sautéed vegetables While I've never had this dish before, I googled pictures of what it should look like, and mine seemed to have significantly less meat than it should've. The taste was still delicious and seasoned and hearty, but it was mostly mush with some veggies and hardly any beef. While I thought the rissole was disappointing, I love the aren latte so much I'll still keep the 5 star review.

Oat Pandan Cold Brew / Aren Latte
Nicolas A.

Dua Coffee was delicious, we got the Oat Pandan Cold Brew and the Aren Latte. Both had unique flavors and left us wanting more. I wish both of these came in a 44 oz cup because I could sip on that all day. Definitely will be riding my E-Bike back to this place. Service was quick, and the area to work was a bit tight but luckily a spot opened up as soon as we got out drinks. Overall a nice looking coffee shop with a nice outdoor sitting area.

I ended up going to Dua DC Coffee 3 times during my visit here and ended up ordering their coffee beans and shipping a couple of bags to my home. I have been to a good amount of coffee shops and was very surprised with how great the coffee was here. No bitterness, just a smooth coffee drink that kept me coming back for more. The space itself is medium sized, with a couple of tables and seating options. The staff took about 10 minutes probably to make the coffee. Overall, I would come back every time I visit DC for the taste of the coffee. It was 5/5 excellent!

Mango
Brianna T.

Went specifically for their mango matcha and loved it! I will definitely be back to try another matcha here.

OH MY-- if i could spend all my money here i would. The aren latte semi sweet is truly a gem and gift to the dc area. Please open in nyc!!! I will visit every week. Service is also fantastic as the barista took care of my needs.

Kopi susu
Peter C.

I needed coffee to kick start my day and ended up at Dua DC coffee. This cute coffee shop serves up a variety of lattes iced or hot, dripped coffees, and signature drinks. During this visit I got their kopi susu, one of their Indonesian signature drinks. It had the right balance of coffee and sweetness (light). I tried their pour overs on previous visits and like them too. Service is good and friendly. Seating inside, but limited.

Coffee beans
Nams S.

On spot cortado, better coffee than many chains in the area. We've tried the Aren Latte and Kopi Su in the past, both different and memorable. Regret not getting two onion cheese empanadas instead of one, they are so good. Perfect pick me up with your 11 am coffee. We were coffee/cafe hopping and craving a bagel by our second stop, glad to find one here. Cheddar Jalapeno cream cheese has enough heat to complement the crunchy bagel. Enough seating inside. Ordering is made easy with the big screen menu right before you order at the counter. Service is quick and friendly, crowded for the sunday morninh but then it was the holiday weekend.

I always park across the street from this place, but today I decided to give it a try, and it was such a nice surprise. It's an Indonesian coffee shop with a beautiful atmosphere, great decoration, and a friendly staff that really knows a lot about coffee. I watched the short video at the front, which was very interesting. I loved the coffee, and I think you would love it too.

Oceana S.

Cute little spot facing a square! Smaller inside with some room to work in the back. Service was quick and the drinks were really good. I'm a fan favorite of the Aren latte, hot. Definitely hit the spot.

While wandering around downtown DC on a morning walk, I spotted this Zeke's on 15th from a block…read moreaway and made it mission to swing by on the way back to my hotel, and I'm glad I did! This Zeke's, which is one of several around SC, is small featuring a few indoor and outdoor tables, a standing rail, counter and a few merch/coffee shelves. It's plenty of space, especially for the area, but I did notice that the line backs up out the door very easily. But even with that, they moved pretty quick, so you are never waiting too long for the goods. From entry to exit, with coffee in hand, I was in store roughly 3 minutes. They have all your favorites and classics of a good coffee shop plus a few house curated drinks. I was after an iced latte and added oat milk and SF sugar syrup. The latte was simple, but so tasty! The vibes are good. Chill and relaxed, while being uniquely local. Overall, really enjoyed my brief experience at Zeke's...and equally enjoyed my latte! Would definitely visit this or another Zeke's when back in DC.

Lovely spot for a quick bite and a coffee before heading off to see the sights!…read more Zeke's is in the heart of downtown, so it's just a short walk to the White House / Washington Monument / Reflecting Pool and so many other sites. I had a maple latte and this was so delicious. A bit sweeter than I'd have wanted, but still definitely hit the spot. The pastries were also top tier and we had some realty tasty croissants and muffins. There's a good amount of seating inside and out. A quick review for a quick and pleasant experience!

OK, so high-level view: this is more than just a coffee shop. There's a full menu for food, fresh…read morebaked pastries, and a comfortable atmosphere with an outdoor patio for additional seating. Did I mention there's a fireplace? The service is truly unbelievable. The staff is friendly, welcoming, and accommodating. The barista made a recommendation for food and beverage, and the food came out very quickly after being ordered. They even were able to accommodate a special request to customize my meal. I've been drinking coffee regularly for over two decades. I come from a city where coffee inexplicably woven into the culture. That noted, I can assure you that this is highly above average product. Come for an energy boost, but stay for the espresso. This was definitely my favorite coffee shop that I visited during my extended stay in the DC area. I found the staff to be refreshingly considerate and the food to be both fresh and delicious. Did I mention there's a fireplace? I'm sure this place is incredibly cozy and inviting in the winter months, so I'll definitely be back.

For a while I assumed that this place was primarily coffee and maybe pastries. But boy was I wrong!…read moreAfter visiting one day for coffee I realized they had a breakfast and lunch menu so I visited a few more times to experience the food. I've probably gone at least 4-5 times so I've added photos from a few of those visits. Chicken ceasar wrap: soo good, balanced with dressing (I find some ceasar wraps to be under dressed but this one was perfect) and a small spring mix is included as well; Mexican Birria Grilled cheese; fire , I love that it comes with avocado on it. It's very flavorful and the dip didn't disappoint. Salmon bowl: salmon was cooked well, the rice was really good and their ranch. I appreciate that they do in house dressings. The service has been consistently good, welcoming energy and the ambiance is nice and chill. I'd recommend having breakfast/lunch here or even a light meeting. My thanks to the staff!
