I think if they really dug further into the childhood theme - they could have a hit, especially for Millennials and GenZ. If they're able to capture that nostalgia, they'd be a hit. The staff are phenomenal and always have the best recommendations. The place is a bit small but if you come early, you can grab a spot by the window and work. Love the chalkboard! The food is my favorite. I prefer it over the drinks. The drinks are hit or miss. The syrup is always on the bottom of the drink and not mixed in for some reason, so when you drink without a straw, there's no flavor throughout the drink and a sugary sip at the end. Looking forward to seeing if they make any upgrades later!

It goes so well with the chocolate; the drink was delicious! We were in town to surprise our best friend for her birthday and stopped by to get the day started. Just a five-minute walk from our Airbnb, we enjoyed our visit. The staff are awesome and so welcoming! We ordered four drinks and a couple of croissants to go. They were securely packed and we enjoyed them back at the Airbnb. The place is spacious, with plenty of seating! Their couches are cute and the natural light from the big windows made the place inviting! Aside from the Spicy Hot Chocolate, we also had a regular drip, a matcha latte and a regular latte. My regular drip was strong and gave me the energy I needed. Their butter and almond croissants are buttery and not too sweet. I highly recommend and plan to come back whenever I'm in town!

So happy to have stumbled upon Nine Brew!…read more Was looking for a coffee shop and stumbled upon this establishment. I have been to Asian Nine for lunch but didn't know they had a cafe as well. The cafe has a number of options in terms of drinks and food. I ordered the caramel chai latte and my friend ordered the steamed bun. Service was great and the staff were attentive and fast. It definitely has coffee shop feels and has a number of seats for anyone to come and enjoy their beverage or food. Has great decor as well!

They haven't had their grand opening yet, but so far I'm impressed…read more Love to see a small business opening in downtown DC, especially a local coffee shop where only corporate chains exist (Looking at you, Starbucks and Compass Coffee). Was warmly greeted by a friendly barista, who explained the concept of Nine Brew replacing over the unused sushi bar of Asia Nine, the adjacent Asian fusion restaurant, with a coffee shop. Nine Brew exists on the raised terrace overlooking the main floor of Asia Nine, though this gives it a bit of a charming food hall aesthetic, even though it's compartmentalized. The cappuccino I ordered was phenomenal; perfectly creamy and naturally sweet on its own with the right amount of coffee bitterness. They also have a selection of rather-intriguing speciality coffees, fruit freezes, lemonades and milk teas, though I usually stick to simple espresso drinks and can't comment on their quality. Looking forward to seeing how they are after their grand opening.

Things change over time. Staff move on, services and prices alter. As of January 2026, I would…read morerecommend Capitol Kitty, but I'd advise you to be cautious. I was comparing places online for cat grooming services. I saw a kennel in Arlington, and almost booked an appointment, but I was very put off by the tone of the intake process. You know the cliche of the snobbish waiter at a fancy restaurant? It was as if they were saying "you would be lucky if we condescend to accept your money". So, I looked at a few other websites, and ended up calling Capitol Kitty. It's been my experience that lots of businesses don't keep their website up to date, and I've been burned by that sort of thing recently. I called, and a very pleasant woman answered, Gloria. I read the menu of services and carefully confirmed what was included and what the cost was. The site says something to the effect that there is a surcharge for paying with a credit or debit card. That to me has a feeling of being sort of shady. Look, I get it that it's very expensive for a small business to have a merchant account, and I get it that they have to pay a transaction fee for each sale. Still, it just felt a little off. You can judge for yourself. Maybe they're dealing in cash to dodge taxes, who knows. I'm not accusing, I'm just saying it's unusual. Gloria asked me more than once if the cat was violent. Again, I get it. If a cat is prone to scratch or bite, you want to know that in advance, but asking more than once implies that I'm lying about my cat, which is annoying. I got an overall pleasant vibe from Gloria (I think she is the owner) and I asked to book an appointment. Gloria said she'd have to check on the availability of their groomer, and get back to me. So, it's not necessarily bad if they are farming out grooming services to a third party, but some people might find that a worry...who, ultimately, is insured and responsible? I booked the appointment, and the day I was to go, I got a call from someone early in the day. Unfortunately, I don't remember her name. She was sort of nervous...which made me nervous. Some people just don't do well dealing with customers, and a lot of busineses don't train staff well, or at all, these days. Not a huge deal, but she repeated, more than once, Gloria's question about whether or not my cat would bite or scratch. That indicates a lack of effective internal communication within the company, and you may find that worrisome. This woman, though friendly, gave me more of the slightly "shady" vibe, when she confirmed which services I wanted, and then she quoted a price higher than Gloria and the website stated. Now, I have a very sharp temper, especially when I think someone is trying to rip me off, but I kept calm. I pulled up the website and read the service and price to her, and I said that Gloria had confirmed it....suddenly her attitude completely changed, and she backpedaled saying that Gloria had given me "a discount" and she would honor that....as if I were getting a special favor, not just what is the advertised price. Again, slightly shady vibe....she then told me I would have to pay in cash because "our system is down". Well, the service was going to be ninety bucks for a shampoo and nail trim, but okay, I could bring that much cash. You may find that questionable, you may suspect this was a ploy. I didn't care especially. Weirdly, about twenty minutes later the woman called me again, still with a very nervous voice, to say I could pay with a credit card after all. I decided to bring the cash just in case, if their "system" was really that unreliable. The day of the appointment, I arrived slightly early and met the groomer. She was the only person there. The business is located in a narrow brick building, so a bit small, but very clean. It had a very strong "mom and pop" DIY feel, but not in a bad way. Several cats were in locked cages, and they all looked very content, a good sign. The woman told me that we had plenty of time, as there were not any appointments booked after mine. She then began to explain to me what she would do, and how, and why....which I liked, a lot. For example, we started with the nail trimming. She explained that if the cat is going to squirm during the bath, you want blunt nails. Makes sense. The room was very dimly lit, just some winter sunlight from a window, but the woman was very quick and accurate trimming my cat's nails. Clearly experienced. All through the entire process she spoke soothingly to my cat. I don't think it made any difference in his stress level, but I think this was a very kind and proactive thing to do. Before she bathed him she made a point of showing me the bottles of shampoo and conditioner, so I'd know it was hypoallergenic. Again, proactive, professional, caring. if you want to read my full review email me directly Xham6690 at yahoo

I called in advance about the outlet and wifi situation to make sure I could come here and do work properly, and they couldn't pick up at the time, but they followed up with me later to let me know, which I really appreciated. I was greeted quite well upon arrival, with the staff explaining the menu, and letting me know where I could sit and showing me where the outlets were. I ordered and they asked me if I needed the wifi password right away. After getting seated, they got my drink out and delivered it to my table ASAP. They also were kind enough to see when I looked confused and directed me to the bathroom. The service was just great here! I enjoyed my latte, which wasn't too sweet; appreciated that a lot. I do want to try the rest of their menu, so I'll come again for their seasonal items. I also did enjoy their brown butter/sugar toast - box looked small but packed a good amount of taste and fullness for me. The place is nice and the bathrooms are nice too. I'd definitely recommend for the café aspect for studying or working remote while sipping on a nice drink. Surprisingly, more people were outside rather than inside with the outlets, so that was interesting to witness. Really appreciate the staff here!
