A lovely cafe in the DC area! I think this place opened recently. Quite a good array of drink options relative to other cafes in the area. A bit pricey, but good to have this every once in a while. I had the strawberry lemonade and was very content with my choice. My server was also friendly and gave me this recommendation. There are options to sit indoors. Would come back!

I ordered a spring refresher and a ham & cheese croissant, both good. The baristas are friendly! You can definitely get some work done here. I'd definitely return to try a coffee. Happy to support a Black owned business!

I have attended Prim's and co worked here multiple times. The group that I was a part of also hosted multiple events here. Both owners are very helpful and ensures that we feel comfortable and safe in their café. It's not a big space but it's a very comfortable space. There's also additional space in the back that they are continuing to elevate overtime. I enjoy the chai here, but I'm not really a matcha girl. So I can't really speak to that, it was decent for what I know, but I'll let the matcha girlies tell it. Overall great location and I'll absolutely be back!

$6 large latte-great deal!

Delicious strawberry matcha and cute spot! The service was good. It's a very chill vibe with a small but cozy seating area.

A tasty sweet treat near City Center DC…read more I enjoy coming here when my sweet tooth is talking to me lol. I ordered a small cup of banana foster & dark chocolate and during the summer time my favorite is the thai coconut milk & vietnamese cinnamon because it has a sweet & savory taste to it (the best combo ever). I normally get a small cup because the portions are filling especially if you had lunch or dinner beforehand. They also sell pints of gelato, sorbetto, tea, coffee, & seasonal drinks as well. There's seating inside & outside. The store is fairly small, but you're still able to sit with a few friends. The service was quick & you're able to try out the flavors. The staff were very friendly & helpful. Typically there's a long line, but it moves very quickly.

Busy busy busy!! This place was packed on a Saturday night…read more Super hot June night, the gelato was melting by the time you stepped foot out the doors! Having to sit outside due to no available seating indoors made it worse. Gelato was tasty, nothing to get worked up for in my opinion, but maybe the fruity flavors are better! Being a frozen dessert connoisseur, I was a bit let down. Didn't finish due to the soup mess in my cup that was running all over the place & the spoon with 0 ladling power. Didn't feel like I was missing out by tossing the remnants. Come here to spend a pretty penny on some gelato!

Now y'all KNOW your girl knows how to eat, and apparently, we know how to keep the party going…read moreAFTER dinner, too! Because why were we already full from eating at a nearby restaurant, but somehow still found room for dessert? Listen, don't judge us! Mind your business! The Peach Cobbler Factory DC was just a quick little stroll from where we'd eaten. We told ourselves we were walking off dinner, but clearly, we were walking straight into some more calories! Now, if you've been to the Maryland location, just know the DC spot is giving a much smaller, more intimate situation. And when I tell you the people were IN THERE?! Whew! The DMV was outside and apparently everybody had the same sweet tooth that evening! But shoutout to the young man holding it down at the register! Because despite that crowd, he was moving that line with efficiency! No confusion, no unnecessary foolishness, just getting folks in and out. We LOVE to see it! Now let's get into why I really came here... that Peanut Butter Praline Brownie! YASSSSS!!! When I tell you that thing was RICH?! Not regular rich. I'm talking Potomac waterfront, big-house-in-Bowie, don't-ask-me-what-I-do-for-a-living RICH! Decadent. Indulgent. Sinful. The kind of dessert that makes you close your eyes after the first bite and reconsider every decision that led you to this moment... but in the BEST possible way! That brownie was NOT playing with anybody's taste buds! And if you're a chocolate and peanut butter lover, just know you're stepping into dangerous territory! Was I full? Absolutely. Did I need it? Not even a little bit. Would I do it again? WITHOUT HESITATION!

Great desserts here--we tried the peach cobbler, cookies, ice cream, and cheesecake. They were…read moretasty and hit the spot! The wait was long considering there were four people in the restaurant and three workers. The lady taking orders was rather short with everyone. The weed smell didn't help. Even the delivery guys-uber eats and the like-were getting pissed at her. Additionally, orders were taken just to wait 15 to 20 minutes then be told some portion of their order was not available. It seems like one could know this much faster given that there were two guys working the back while she ran the register. Good dessert but not enough to wait for 35 minutes behind three other people.

Our server was pleasant, attentive, and quick to respond. We ordered the following: Almond milk latte Latte Eggs Royale x2 Side of avocado The eggs royale featured smoked salmon, hash browns, béarnaise, poached egg, and choice of coffee or tea for $30. My friend and I upgraded to lattes and shared a side of avocado. The eggs royale were delish and quite filling. The restaurant is housed inside the beautiful Riggs National Bank, built in 1891 which has seen since been transformed into a hotel. I highly recommend checking out the cafe!

Came here for brunch and had a decent time, although the hostess at the front was very cold. It was…read morean odd encounter, she said she would be back to help us and after she was done with her task, she stood in front of her receptionist table without looking at us or waving us over. The table is in a weird spot in the middle of the restaurant, so we didn't know that's where we needed to be to speak with her. She acted kind of like an NPC. She then proceeded to tell us nothing was available, even though a lot of tables were empty and stayed empty after we were done with our meal on the way out. She directed us to sit on the sofas in the back. After brunch, I did my usual payment and due diligence of making my own copy of the receipt. My credit card statement was posted and I noticed a big discrepancy. I was charged almost $10 more than what I agreed to pay. I contacted the cafe and was directed to the manager, Colt, who said he would look into it. I sent him an email with the information and picture of my receipt. I haven't received a response or an indication that they will be correcting the discrepancy and they will be discussing this with the server who generously tipped themselves extra. I'm sad to say I don't recommend this place due to the unfriendly atmosphere and the shady financial practices of their staff.
