    Creme + Star Anise
    Judi W.

    Quality gelato with unique flavors! I got the creme which is a light cream flavor with a hint of citrus along with the star anise. The star anise was really good! If you're not a fan of licorice though, maybe stay away from this one. Texture overall is great and light. Services was quick. As for seating, it's a small place so there were only three tables with some chairs outside.

    Passion fruit and cinnamon flavors

    The service was very friendly and patient. We tried many flavors before deciding on passion fruit sorbet and cinnamon gelato. Both were delicious. The store was clean and very welcoming. There are tables available outside to enjoy your food. I love that a scoop gives you the option to choose two flavors.

    Delicious gelato in a great location! This is my favorite place to grab a quick treat or a pint to go. The staff are all so friendly and the space is small is clean.

    Ice cream and a brownie
    Gian T.

    Wow was I in Italy or something???? This was really good gelato make sure to try my signature flavor GIANDUJA it was simply amazing! Also try the espresso Ice Cream combo that was so creative and delicious.Customer service was off the charts they were super nice and willing to help. Only feedback would be that the brownies could be a lil warmer or it might be my fault because I didn't ask them to heat it up. Regardless I think a warm brownie would an amazing addition to the ice cream!

    A local gelato shop, this location is the newer end of the Wharf near Politics & Prose. It's a small shop with standing room only and a few outdoor seats. The staff are helpful and let you try as many flavors as you want. The small cup gets you two flavors v. the large which gets you three. I ordered the walnut gelato and the crema one- a winning pair!

    Two of my favorite flavors! I've mentioned on another review of my love for the matcha and milk combination. The matcha and cinnamon flavored gelato scoops paired well together. There are so many flavors to choose from and we appreciated being allowed to taste flavors before deciding which to order. The employees were friendly, helpful and patient. The inside is clean and has an upscale, high quality feel. This is much more of a grown up dessert stop but kids would love the gelato too. I'd love to come back and try out other flavors

    Friendly service when I got to the Wharf for a work thing. Great expresso! They have breakfast food too. Croissants and muffins.

    Love their gelato! Service was great and the outside seating was cute and shady. Perfect spot for a casual summer day!

    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.

The inside was cute and had a decent amount of seating. They also have a patio, but with today being the warmest of 2026 they were all taken. There was one customer ahead of us, but the wait was very short. I got a white mocha matcha. I was a little skeptical, but the barista co-signed and suggested getting it iced. Delicious! I also got a pastry. Bacon, egg and cheese on brioche. Also really tasty. This place is clearly a neighborhood staple as I heard staff greeting several customers by name. Definitely glad we stopped in. If ever in the area, I will certainly be back.

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!

I don't typically go for counter service or QR code service restaurants, but stopped in for a quick bite before a concert at the Anthem. The Cuban sandwich is legit and very tasty with tender pork, soft fresh bread with a crunchy crust, and great pickles. And the stewed plantains were perfectly tender with a caramel like sweetness. Probably the nicest surprise was their reasonably priced cocktails that have a Cuban flair. The happy hour options are very tasty.
