Pull apart donuts
Brian P.

Pretty average McDonald's located just south of the National Mall. You can order at the counter, on the app, or on one of their many self-service kiosks. When ordering on the app and checking in upon arrival, my food came out within a couple of minutes, hot and fresh. I also saw they had new pull apart donuts being advertised, so I ordered one of those as well. The donut was cold and likely baked earlier in the morning or offsite and shipped. Because of this, it wasn't easy to pull apart and didn't taste as good as a fresh donut. But hey, what did I expect at a McDonald's?!

This is a large lemonade, filled only 20% of the cup. Unbelievable. I ended up not drinking it and just poured it out.

I placed an order on the kiosk which was out of paper so my receipt didn't print. I didn't get any order confirmation on my phone or email so I had to tell the cashier what I ordered. When my large lemonade came, it was only filled 20% and the rest with ice (see photo). I ended up just pouring the drink out, since I don't trust whoever filled my cup to drink out of it.

Very few restaurants around National Mall. We have to eat these kinds of burgers. It has $3.99 for sales. However, it only deducted $0.01 for the second burger.

Large fry

This mcdonald's is my favorite mcdonald's in DC by far. Clean tables and nice ambiance all around, with cool neon lighting on the outside. Food is always fresh and great. Service is fast and staff are kind.

Plain iced coffee

This is an average McDonald's that I bought lunch from before visiting the Smithsonian air and space museum. My food and iced coffee were good, but the cashier that took my order was snippy at me because I didn't want liquid sugar in my iced coffee for health reasons.

I just got the Cardi B and Offset meal and they gave me a cheeseburger dressed as a quarter pounder. Like bruh if y'all didn't have any more quarte pounder y'all could have just said that and I would have just got something else just stupid.

Large French Fries
Brianna A.

This place was quick and efficient. The self service option was definitely Plus. I only order French fries and they came out steaming hot and fresh. They were delicious! The only disappointment was that they had no drive thru and there was practically no parking on the street.

Filet O Fish Meal
Destinie M.

I decided to grab McDonald's on my break since it's so close; BIG MISTAKE. I partly blame myself for not checking my food before I left but I was in such a rush to get back to work I didn't. I get to work and half the bun of my fish filet is PEELED OFF. In what world would someone think this is okay to serve a customer?! The fries were COLD and SALTY, then the soda was FLAT! The whole meal was a waste of time and money. I couldn't even eat it, I'm truly disappointed but then I have to remind myself this is McDonald's.

Not sitting here.  Definitely not sitting here.

No milkshakes. 10 minute wait for two ordinary cheeseburgers and really dirty inside. Gross!

Dirty toilets, poor service. Refused to give us cups for water. Fries amount is less than standard. Would not recommend this location.

Still the number one coffee spot in DC for me. I have so many check in's here for a reason it's the…read morecoffee and of course the friendly staff. It's also a cool spot to work remote or taking a meeting. I hope the owner open more establishments in the future. Right now there are 2 locations (including Union Market) - I've had great experiences at both. A lot of the new or small coffee shops should follow their lead when it comes to coffee and providing excellent customer service. I love this place.

Stopped by Pluma while exploring the Wharf and really enjoyed the experience…read more The café itself is beautiful, minimalist, earthy, and thoughtfully designed. Even though we got our drinks and food to go, I couldn't help but admire the cute ceramics and overall aesthetic of the space. I ordered the lavender latte, which was good but didn't completely wow me. My husband and I also shared the bread pudding, and that was definitely the highlight. He gave it a 9/10, and I'd have to agree, it was delicious and the perfect treat to enjoy while walking around the pier. One thing to note is that prices are definitely on the higher side. I noticed the avocado toast was around $18, and while it looked nice, it didn't seem particularly special for the price. Overall, a very cute café with a great atmosphere and an excellent bread pudding. A lovely stop while visiting the Wharf.

Cause | Vibes | Outdoor Space…read more Cause - The sticker shock is real when you first see the prices. However, part of what you're paying for supports programs that provide coffee to people experiencing homelessness, while another portion goes toward local causes in DC. In that sense, your extra dollars are helping fund meaningful work in the community. Vibes - This place has great energy. There is a sizable indoor seating area along with a comfortable outdoor section. You'll see a mix of people catching up with friends, working remotely, or simply enjoying a cup of coffee. The overall atmosphere feels welcoming, open, and community-oriented. Outdoor Space - This is probably the highlight, especially on a nice summer day. It's an ideal spot for people-watching, soaking up some sunshine, and enjoying the neighborhood atmosphere. If the weather is nice, grab a seat outside and stay awhile. Pro Tip: Parking is limited, so plan accordingly or consider walking if you're nearby. Pro Tip: Ask the staff for their favorite drink recommendations. They know the menu well and can point you toward some hidden gems.

You can easily skip this coffeeshop and you won't miss much; DC has tons of better coffeeshops. I…read morehad carefully researched this place and braved the 4th of July DC heatwave to enjoy some coffee and pastries. Reviews seemed great and I loved that the coffeeshop was supporting a number of humanitarian causes; unfortunately, my experience was pretty meh. I'm not sure about the warm community vibes some reviews mention; I didn't even get a hint of a smile from the barista or the other guy at the counter. I asked for some suggestions with pastries and got a "It's your choice, this is all we have". I've hardly felt so unwelcome anywhere. I decided against any food, just got my $6 iced latte and grabbed the only open table after wiping it clean myself. The latte itself was very watered down, but frankly it didn't bother me as much as the ice-cold behavior I encountered here.

We stopped by Colada Shop during our trip to DC, and it ended up being one of our favorite meals…read morenear the Wharf! The restaurant is super cute, with a fun cafe vibe, and it's an easy walk from the waterfront. We ordered the Colada Trio, which came with empanadas, cauliflower sliders, and yuca fries. Everything was delicious, and it came with three different sauces that were honestly all so good. I could've eaten those sauces with everything. We also ordered the Platanachos (plantain nachos), which were flavorful and such a fun twist on traditional nachos. They accidentally forgot the cauliflower and mushroom topping, but as soon as I mentioned it, they brought it out right away along with extra sauce. Mistakes happen, but what matters is how a place handles them, and they were incredibly accommodating, which I really appreciated. It was pretty busy when we visited, and I noticed who I believe was the manager or owner helping clean tables and checking on guests. I always love seeing that kind of hands-on involvement. Great food, friendly service, and an awesome location if you're exploring the Wharf. I'd definitely recommend stopping by!

The drink is sweeter than I expected, which makes sense because it's plantain, but it has actual plantain pieces in it. I'd rather it be a syrup instead of little plantain chunks when you sip the drink. It's okay, but I wouldn't get it again. I'd like to come back in the morning and actually get some of the fresh pastries, as opposed to later in the evening. If I hadn't just eaten somewhere else, I definitely would have tried the cuban.
