Hi, Spencer and crew know us as D&D. I shared with Spencer my particular love for coffee. I asked for the best dark roast and she and her staff graced us with love. In particular, love for the Costa Rican dark roast. Besides the coffee, my wife had the London Fog. We also share a blue berry fritter than was a cross between a Bismarck and fritter. Not to mention a savory morsel too! The food and coffee were just what we were looking for D&D (different and delightful). The love in the store that was graced upon us made Misha's a detour from the ordinary for D&D. read more

I'm giving it four stars for their service. They are so nice and they take your order, make your coffee and then you pay which I like. Their coffee was good, but nothing beyond belief. There's plenty of seating and low lighting which makes for a great study spot. read more

Misha's Coffee is a charming café with a cozy, welcoming vibe. I liked that they grind their own coffee beans, which really adds to the freshness of the drinks. The pastries were decent, though nothing particularly memorable, and prices were a bit on the higher side. Service was good but not particularly great. One of the highlights is the atmosphere; there's plenty of space to sit, work on a laptop, or even enjoy a board game, which makes it a great spot to spend some time. The café itself was very clean, including the bathrooms, which I always appreciate. Overall, it's a pleasant place to relax or get some work done, especially if you don't mind paying a little extra for the experience. read more

Nice coffee shop located on King Street in old town, Alexandria. Misha's advertises itself as an artisanal coffee shop where they roast their own beans and make all the coffee drinks you would expect from a higher end barista shop. My latte was well made from their own roasted beans and was full bodied, nicely balanced and with a rich crema that was quite good. The business itself has a dark inviting coffee shop vibe to it with plenty of seating inside, also some outdoor seating and a coffee roaster that is readily visible that adds a lot to the experience of drinking coffee here. Nice! Also, for those of you that have dogs, it definitely appears to be a dog friendly business as there were dogs sitting outside the business as well as some inside the business. Overall, a very nice spot to grab your coffee drink of choice and sit down and enjoy it in a relaxing atmosphere. read more

Delicious cup of coffee. Love the house blend. Definitely give it a go if you're in old town Alexandria. Very friendly staff and atmosphere to hang out indoors or grab your drink and go for a walk around the area. read more

I stopped into Misha's coffee on an early Sunday morning. The barista was very friendly. I ordered a latte and a muffin. Their pastry case was impressive, including some pies. They heated up the blueberry muffin for me, and it was delicious. The coffee was hot. I like that they offer alternative milks. They have lots of seating and overall good vibes. I would recommend. read more

We swung by yesterday after our photoshoot and were a bit disappointed. We ordered two hot chocolates and they pretty much give you milk with cocoa powder. I have never been to a place that does this. They should at least have the staff ask if you'd like to sweeten your hot chocolate or at least tell you so it's not a surprise. The place was quiet and nice over all. read more

Misha's Coffee - Hot chocolate - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Alexandria, Virginia

A great location in the middle of Alexandra and the outdoor area is very attractive. However, that's as far as my positive experience go. We ordered a macchiato and a cortado. They serve in s larger 12" oz paper that is unusual to drink. Not even espresso paper cups even when we got a bit of lecture of those drinks are. The milk was not done right for both drinks, particularly for the macchiato. The coffee tastes close to starbucks. Extra roasted but I guess acceptable for milk drinks. The decor inside is mediocre or a bit barren. Ok, to stop by because of location but not much else. read more

Went here since it's an "Old Town staple." I usually try different cafes when in the area- Misha's was next. The interior has a good amount of seating in the front and a spacious back area. Service was quick and efficient. Only complaint is it's quite pricey (about $7) for a SMALL iced latte that isn't even filled all the way to the top. But, my Lavender Latte was tasty. Nicely made coffee, but it's pricey for the small portions. I wouldn't say it's my favorite coffee in the Old Town ALX area, but it's an option. Decent, but I didn't get a "wow" factor. It's just an average coffee shop with not bad coffee. read more

Found this interesting coffee spot on Yelp and was able to park on the street. Opens early. Overall, great little coffee shoppe with plenty of pastries and breakfast options. Seating located inside and out with plenty of chairs outside on the sidewalk. Service was a little confused on taking orders assuming I had already placed my order. The music in the front seating area was a bit loud and was not very conducive to have a conversation at the table Overall impression, I would return. The coffee was good. Stop by and give them a try. Enjoy! read more

Pretty convenient location in Old Town. If you've been in the area, you know how difficult parking can be. There's a parking lot directly across the street from the shop and plenty of street parking in either direction on King street. Walking in, the first thing I noticed is the hustle and bustle feel. I went on a Saturday morning, VERY busy and loud, but somehow not uncomfortable. Ordered a hot chai with oat milk. The barista let me know it's spicy and I'm glad she did. It is! Also got some pastries. I had to ask what each team was because there's no labels. I wish they were labeled because it was hard to remember everything and decide what I wanted at the same time. They were pretty good. Prices are reasonable. read more

Misha's is a staple Alexandria If you love coffee purist, love their variety of sourcing and well-roasted beans--especially if you drink it black. Each Misha's location in Alexandria has its own unique feel. their King Street location is no has a lively, social vibe with tables inside, and it's a great spot to catch up with friends or get some work done. That said, finding the entrance right now is a bit tricky due to construction--keep an eye out, or you might walk right past it like we did! the food was just okay. I ordered the quiche, which turned out to be more of a breakfast pizza. It wasn't bad, just not what I was expecting. The bakery window also looked a little disorganized as well Overall, Misha's is a good spot for coffee and a nice place to hang read more

We got here and there was a long line hut staff takes our order while we were waiting so we didn't have to wait long for our coffee. Small little shop. I got a little blueberry pastry and smallest coffee and it was $16 so I didn't like the price too much but ahain, it's old town. I got the iced pitaschio latter and it was okay. It wasn't impressive but not bad. Menu are small so it's hard to read in my opinion! read more

Service was really weird vibes. There was a sign announcing their new roast, and I asked for an espresso with that roast. A weird amount of confusion ensued because apparently they only have that in drip. So I asked for a single espresso of their dark roast. Was asked multiple times about milk and how many shots and explained to again that the special was not for espressos. Just a single espresso! Ironically, my friend asked for a pour over without specifying which roast and was given attitude from a different employee "well there's like, over 25 roasts..." ..?! we're visiting the area and would love to try all their expansive roasts but not really tryna talk to these people again. maybe the morning rush. no espresso cups, also?? read more

This coffee shop is located in old town. It doesn't have parking but you can find that on the street. There's plenty of seating to work remotely from here but not a lot of outlets. I like that they display the coffee beans from around the world and the coffee roaster machine in the back. I noticed many people had their dates here. The service was quick and fast. I got the lavender iced latte on the right and left is iced coffee. Their coffee is little watery and I think it needs more syrup to make it sweeter plus I didn't really taste the lavender. read more

Terrible, crabby service from one of the female employees, she had the worst , snotty attitude, never smiled, or said anything when handing us our coffee. It wasn't like the place was that crowded, only 4 people in line. Tiramisu latte was delicious though. read more

I thought this spot would be amazing as I love artisan coffee houses and fresh beans.. I'm not quite sold on it though. The coffee is pretty decent and flavorful, black iced anyway. The other drink was an ice caramel latte and ehhh it wasn't so good.. not sure what they use for flavoring but yeah.. not so great. Service was good, server was friendly enough when I went to counter to order. Ambiance is pretty cool. I like coffee shops with music and just a good place to sit and work.. or just kinda relax and people watch.. and you can here. Might have to come back and give it a second try but first go through wasn't overly impressed with coffee. read more

I remember stopping by at their other location and not having such a great experience. However, I was in the area and decided to give them another try. Their menu offers hot and iced coffee drinks, tea, cocoa, and chai; they also have a pastry case that had quiches, croissants, etc. I tried their Coco Loco, which was a more chocolate-y version of the mocha - still strong, and I liked that it was served super hot, as requested! Service was friendly and efficient. The coffee shop had plenty of seating in the front, and you can check out the roastery section in the back. Metered street parking in the area. +Coco Loco +super hot drinks! +friendly & efficient staff +plenty of seating +metered street parking in the area read more

I nearly got hit by a car crossing the street for this coffee, at one of the rare Old Town places that it is open early. So for my near death, early morning experience, the fresh brewed coffee was an exclamation point to the morning. read more

Misha's is a full-service coffee place that has regular brewed coffee as well as espresso and cappuccino lattes etc. In addition, it has an impressive assortment of pastries and rolls that you could turn it into a breakfast or lunch visit. I'm from out-of-town and enjoyed the opportunity to have my cappuccino NOT from a franchise. The service was fast and efficient although I was there after rush hour so it may be more of a wait if you come earlier in the morning. read more

BEST LATTES EVER!!! Strong, flavorful, stimulating, rich coffee beans/ espresso! My fave coffee house ever! I usually prefer organic, but the blends at Misha's are so great, I don't care!!! Good quality syrup (I choose the sugar free vanilla) and well-bodied flavor, smooth, silky rich taste!!! Not a watered down too sweet, thin, cheap blend! This is FAR FROM BEING STARBUCKY!!! And better than Atwater's ( a Maryland-based coffee shop that makes healthy organic espresso which are usually well-blended). Misha's is the best! The staff is consistently efficient, cordial, and professional!!! The baked goods run out quickly bc they are especially fresh, uniquely prepared (off-site), and delicious! read more

Misha's is a long-time Old Town Alexandria institution where everyone knows your name. There is nothing fancy about it, the coffee is okay, but what you will get is: + Friendly baristas + Free wifi + Lots of seating -- there was tons of coworking also going on in the back bar area! + Australian hand pies + nice collection of traditional sweet pies + Extra, extra large size options for when you really need to caffeinate This is not the type of spot you would go out of your way to have an aesthetic experience ... but simply meet a friend up at a tried-and-true spot if you live in the neighborhood. read more

Misha's Coffee - Lavender Latte - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Alexandria, Virginia

When it comes to the coffee, Misha's is great! I usually just get a iced latte and they're typically pretty quick to get to you, even if there is a bit of a line. And although it's usually pretty packed inside with people perching at the open tables and seats, there is still pretty ample room inside or outside if you'd like to enjoy your beverage or treats there. Now when it comes to service, I've had a bit of a range when it comes to snarky baristas. Just the other day I dropped by to order a latte. The good news was that it was prepared quickly. The challenge was that it came out before I could run to the bathroom. I asked if it was okay if they could just keep it close while I run to the back (since it would be awkward to take it in and there was no top on it.) If the barista had said, "No, I'm sorry you need to take it now" or "No, I'm sorry I have to leave it out on this table" I would respectfully understood that's just how business operates and it would not have turned me off. But instead, the barista just intensely stares me in the eyes while placing the the latte further away from him in the pick up area. As a drink without a lid, all I was hoping was for an eye on it for safety reasons while I ran to the bathroom. And even if that was not an option, he could have responded with words instead of passive aggressive dismissal. The whole experience made me feel uneasy and made me realize I should just stick to ESP Tea and Coffee down the street where they're always warm and welcoming. It's not *just* about the coffee so with that, I'd rather start spending my money elsewhere. read more

Coffee Shop No. 415 Misha's Coffee House Alexandria, VA September 19, 2024 This was my third attempt at getting a cortado from Misha's. The first time the line was out the door, I was in a hurry, and was lacking in the patience department. The second time Misha's was having trouble with their espresso machine. On the third attempt I finally got lips on one of their cortados; and it was well worth the weight. I sat at a bar height long conference type table right in front of the roasting magic and enjoyed a beautifully crafted cortado. Misha's is my idea of a perfect coffee house with clear jars of coffee beans on shelves, large bags of beans, coffee roasting in the back, some folks working, others chatting with their group and the attractive aroma of coffee lingering. If there had been a saxophone playing in the back somewhere this could be the best place in Northern Virginia. #cortado #coffeelover #willtravelforcoffee #coffeehouse #coffeeaddict #coffeetime #coffeetravel #coffeelover #coffeeculture #coffeebreak read more

Nice spot to have a coffee. Bright and airy. Staff is friendly. WiFi is so so. Decent selection of bagels and pastries.

I'm so glad I visited Misha's on our vacation. We went to both locations (separate days) are enjoyed our coffees very much.

If you're ever in old town Alexandria, you have to try Misha's coffee. The best barista is Kristina- and she makes any coffee made to order. I got a vanilla latte and a donut, and didn't even have to wait more than 3 minutes. They always play some type of music, but never crazy loud like Starbucks. They roast their own coffee, so the coffee taste is hot and fresh! Enjoy! read more

Misha's Coffee - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Alexandria, Virginia

A cute little coffee place. Unfortunately, the over $7 latte I purchased was undrinkable. It tasted like water, milk, and a little drip coffee. No taste of the vanilla I asked for and certainly not a hint of the four shots the barista said were in the large size. I honestly had to throw the whole thing away after just three sips. The barista was polite but unsmiling and spoke to me as little as possible. The staff also let a customer's dog keep jumping onto the counter with their front paws, where food and beverage were being laid out. I added a star because the apple strudel pastry was very good. read more

I picked up coffee and something sweet at Mishas on Sunday morning. While busy, the line moved quickly. They were well staffed with plenty of baristas, and that kept the coffee flowing into cups. The interior was abuzz with conversation as you'd expect from any good coffeehouse. The coffee was great, but the pastry was a little too sweet for me (coming from someone with a sweet tooth!). Maybe another one would have been more my speed. They had plenty of variety of pastries and drinks. read more

I stopped by for a coffee at 4pm. Two people were working, both talking with the woman at the register. She had clearly finished her order and both continued to socialize, neither acknowledging me or saying they'd be right with me. I try repeatedly making eye contact, waiting. I ask for my drink, asking it to be sweetened. They continue talking with the woman. I try to get the barista's attention who is making my drink that I'm going to use their bathroom and come back. Neither look up or acknowledge me. I pick up my drink. It is not sweetened as requested. Again, no thank you or other acknowledgement. Looking around, the coffee bins are dirty, beans scattered around... Wholly unimpressed. At a time when chain coffee shops choke out local competition, it pays to get the basics right. I won't be coming back. read more
