    Vibe in here is nice. I like the 90s/2000s coffee house vibe too much to hate too hard. BUT expensive. I asked for whipped cream and it's so little that it's offensive I was up-charged. :/

    ICED MATCHA
    Boobie D.

    friendly service! my matcha was bomb! why i didnt have this place saved on my yelp already?! no idea but i cant wait to come back. saw jacobs as i walked to my massage && knew id be stopping in on my way out! also thank you for letting me know the matcha was sweet before i got it sweeter!

    The staff is really friendly and welcoming, and the chicken pesto panini was so yummy!

    Iced latte and bagel breakfast sandwich

    Nice alternative to the chain coffee shops. Coffee is great! I have had the bagel breakfast sandwiches a couple of times they do the trick if you have a craving. The inside of Jacob's is somewhat small inside, and dependent on the time of day, may be difficult to get a tHowever, there is a good size patio and I have always been able to get a seat outside.

    The outdoor patio has the coolest vibe that just can't be matched by most other cafes in the area. The only downside to the patio is that there are no outlets to plugin. So it would be wishful thinking to plan to stay and work here for several hours, especially with my old laptop with a severely dysfunctional battery. I ordered a capuchino with vanilla flavoring . It's my ultimate favorite and I wanted to see the difference in flavor with this cafe. It was awesome and expensive! They have seating inside as well but who would want to be inside on a n awesome Sunday like today?

    Such a cute coffee shop. The location is small on the inside, but they offer plenty of outside seating. The menu had a lot to offer and had accommodations for dietary needs. The staff were friendly and knowledgeable.

    This is for sure one of my favorite coffee place in the DC. Located in one of the most beautiful neighborhoods of the city, this place offers you a cosy and worm place for a cold winter or late fall morning. Old-fashioned interior, great Illy coffee and the variety of pastries, bagels and other types of breakfast or brunch available. Personnel is busy, but very attentive. They also offer their loyalty program and takeout. And if it is too worm and smoky for you inside, enjoy the patio!

    The best neighborhood coffee spot! Everyone knows your name:) Super variety of coffees, REAL bagels, sandwiches, breakfast options, sweets, seasonal drinks . . . Located in a cozy, walkable neighborhood. This is special little place helps us ~ slow down, relax & smile. Thank you Jasmine

    Solid neighborhood spot! Got some tasty breakfast bagels. Service was quick. The vibe seems more of a either pick up or work space - not really a hang out space for a conversation. Lots of folks were working. Felt a bit crowded but other than that, cute little spot.

    The rude lady.

    The lady that took my order was extremely rude. I ordered an iced matcha latte and she gave me hot. I kindly said "I apologize, I ordered an iced latte". She responds saying outwardly that I ordered hot. I said "I ordered ice". She still repeats saying that I ordered hot. When she finally went back to correct my order, she rolls her eyes. When she was in the kitchen, she would walk past me without saying excuse me. I finally asked for a refund which took 15 minutes "so she can find the order" . She told me she could not find it (even though I had ordered 10 minutes ago). I had to go on her computer and obviously show her my previous order. I will never come here again. She is super rude will never bring my business here again.

    Coffee and Pastries and Sandwiches are MUCH improved with the new ownership, or new management Whatever caused the change, it is good!!

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!

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.
