I stopped by here with some friends and had a lovely mid-morning snack! The place was absolutely packed and we waited in line for a long time, so be prepared for that. The steak and cheese empanada with aji sauce was delicious and a good pick-me-up. I tasted my friend's jasmine latte and enjoyed that too. Service was friendly and fast, considering how busy it was. Plan to take your drink/food to go. I really enjoyed everything and will definitely be back again! It's great to have such a friendly neighborhood coffee spot.

Lost Sock was walking distance from my hotel. So happy I checked it out. Ordered a flat white with vanilla and it was so good. I also got the Egsando sandwhich and it was delicious. I did not expect it to be as big as it was so definitely a great breakfast. The staff and service were really friendly and welcoming while also making recommendations.

love love love love love....what an adorable coffee shop tucked away in northeast DC. The ambiance and vibes give Brooklyn meets Chicago, balancing its sharp lines and inviting green aesthetic. The wait staff was SO friendly, and they made sure I was taken care of beyond what they had to do. I got the iced matcha, which was VERY good for a coffee shop (im a matcha snob! sue me!), and the egg crogel, which was just so delicious. I cannot WAIT to be back!!!

I really wanted to enjoy this neighborhood gem but was sadly disappointed. The atmosphere and service were great, but my coffee was a tad watered down. It also wasn't initially clear that horchata lattes served were ice only no hot alternative. The empanadas while small packed a flavorful punch especially the Argentinian beef. Overall I passed 10 cafes to go here not sure it's worth the longer walk. Also seating is quite limited.

Jasmine Flower Matcha

Came here and saw a line coming out of the door (usually a good sign). I ordered a jasmine flower matcha and was one of the best matcha lattes I've had in DC. Though the price is steep, it's a nice sweet treat to reward yourself with during these trying times. There isn't much indoor seating, so you're better off seating somewhere else. I won't be rushing here all the time, but I would definitely come back and try more of their drinks. (Don't know why my photo is looking like that)

Though the line was long coming in, ordering and getting my coffee was quick and efficient. Lost Sock Roasters not only runs smoothly but also serves fantastic coffee with unique flavors. I tried the jasmine flower latte and the passion fruit spritz--both were fun and delicious. I also picked up a bag of beans to take home, and it's been holding up really well. Excited to make this a go-to spot whenever I'm in the area!

Iced Americano

I'm thankful Lost Sock Roasters opened a second location in NoMa, which is closer to me than their Takoma location. It's only an 8 minute walk from the NoMa-Gallaudet metro station and tucked in a more residential area. The interior is spacious, but only there is only counter seating (8 stool seats facing the window) at this location. I camped around for 5-10 minutes and was able to get a seat afterwards, but the seating isn't the most comfortable. When I stopped by earlier yesterday afternoon, they weren't making pour overs (darn!), so I got a 12 oz. iced americano with single origin espresso for $4, which was pretty refreshing but nothing to write home about. The espresso notes leaned fruity but not overly so. I think from all my Lost Sock experiences, their lattes (and specialty) and small bites are the noteworthy items to order. Lost Sock also closes pretty early at 4 PM, and they're closed on Mondays. Overall, it's a good spot for grab-and-go, but not a sit down. They sell beans, tea leaves, and coffee-making equipment at this location as well.

I got too excited and forgot to take a photo. Here is a sip pov.

Staff was a little definitely busy and there is not a lot of room to sit and post up. I got an iced oat milk matcha with oat milk and early grey syrup. If it wasn't 8 dollars I would get it every day. Definitely worth a visit if you are in the area, very charming. The matcha tastes really nice. I won't dog points for it being busy or the price. Yum.

Very cute little place. Cold brew was v tasty and the menu had many items I'd like to try. Was on the go so got an egg, cheese and bacon empanada. Cashier was very friendly. They were busy but it didn't take too long for my order (about 4-5 minutes). Bought a bag of beans to go as well. I'd recommend a visit!

If you love quality coffee, pop into Lost Sock Market & Cafe. Their original location is in Takoma, but this one has history. It's inside a 1923 corner store, which explains Lost Sock's little market inside, a nod to the building's legacy. Open Tuesday-Sunday from 8am to 6pm, Lost Sock roasts their own coffee and serves a full coffee menu. Their vanilla latte is my favorite in the city. It comes out perfect with no need for more cream or sugar. It's very smooth! They also have teas for non-coffee drinkers. Their food menu includes all day breakfast, including avocado toast, egg sandos, and five different kinds of empanadas using a family recipe of one of the owners. Any of the empanadas are worth getting. They come with a delicious sauce on the side. The space itself is an oasis with plants everywhere, large windows letting natural light in, and exposed brick. There aren't any tables or chairs inside, but a bar table to stand around are in both window areas. An outdoor patio is coming soon. There aren't any outlets inside, but there is a unisex restroom that is kept clean.

New coffee shop in the Noma neighborhood. A quick walk for me which is nice! They have plenty of options and several specialty lattes. They have a good array of pastries, which are decent and affordable. I'm basic so I got an almond croissant and a regular latte. Both were good. I've also tried the breakfast empanada, which was good. Pretty small but it was good. The highlight for me is the service. Even though it has been extremely busy and packed, the service and baristas are always friendly and attentive. The space is on the small side with window bar seating, about 4 chairs, but no other seating inside or outside. I'm sure they are working on seating options because that would be a nice addition. They are closed on Mondays, which is disappointing but they're open the other 6 days. They also close at 2 or 3... which is a new trend with coffee shops. I'm not a fan because I love an afternoon/evening coffee but I get it. Highly recommend you check this spot out!

Stopped by on a Friday afternoon, and it was quite busy! There's not much seating at all. The place in general is small and just has some counter seating near the windows. I got a Jasmine Blossom Latte. I asked for it to be short on milk, and they gave it to me as is instead. I was a bit disappointed with that. The espresso taste was nice, however, I could barely taste the syrup. If it were short and had less milk, it would probably be better.

Mixed experience here. I visited for a bag of beans and a drink or a snack, but only left with the beans. The beans were great - I think this place is a great roaster - but they don't have a lot in their cafe. They were out of all the food and they didn't have any sort of lemonade (I wanted an iced tea lemonade style drink).

Whole coffee beans

See all

Lightly floral, sweet, and refreshing on a hot summer day - London fog red eye latte (iced, with oat milk) - delicious too.
