I have been to a good amount of coffee shops and was very surprised with how great the coffee was here. No bitterness, just a smooth coffee drink that kept me coming back for more. The space itself is medium sized, with a couple of tables and seating options. The staff took about 10 minutes probably to make the coffee. Overall, I would come back every time I visit DC for the taste of the coffee. It was 5/5 excellent!

All the pastry was delightfully flaky and appropriately filled. Pistachio croissant was dancing on the edge of being a bit too sweet but went very well with my latte. Latte and cappuccino were nothing to write home about, potentially underextracted as there wasn't too much flavor coming through. Totally inoffensive and wouldn't hesitate to get another espresso drink if we were grabbing pastries again. Nice quaint limited outdoor seating.

We also got a mocha and a vanilla latte made with their house vanilla syrup. Both drinks were delicious. The pastries were quite tasty, our favorites were the balsamic, mozzarella and tomato, savory pastry, as well as both the berry and cream cheese pastry, and almond croissant. The housemaid vanilla are up in the vanilla latte had great flavor and was not overly sweet. They didn't have a variety of milk options or your coffee drinks. A small table outside in minimal seating inside makes this bakery best for takeout. Staff was friendly and efficient. When we came, but I could see how there may be a line of times based on how good the pastries were and how small the storefront space. As bonus points, the merch is super cute with the little wiener dog on it!

I visited on a Sunday night around 8 PM and there was a small line, going out the door by a few people. It moved quickly enough. I like the shop decor a lot, with clean lines, large windows, and a few seats. I had a large ($10ish) with three scoops: Hazelnut Crackle (like ferrero rocher), Black and White Cookie Batter, Vietnamese Cinnamon. These all worked pretty well together. The star was the Hazelnut, which did taste exactly like ferrero, which meant it was delicious. I found the cinnamon a bit to punchy on its own (like Red Hots, which I don't like), but it mellowed out when eaten with the other flavors. The Black and White Cookie did taste like one, but that also meant it was not as strong as flavor as the other two.

They were on it--like the Alexandria Tatte. The manager noticed I was looking around for who to ask for help and asked did I need help. Immediately upon my asking if someone could clean the table & seats we'd chosen, he sent a person next to him to follow me and tackle it! That's A-1 service on a busy day! The team was constantly cleaning and swiftly caring for customers, and chefs were moving to get orders out quickly but pretty.

Most recently went as a party of 4 and got the crab beignets, beef arepa, masa gnocci, and parillada for two. Crab beignets were our favorite - perfectly crispy and great flavor.

Parillada was a hearty entree and probably best for 2-3 people. This amount of food altogether was just nice. We probably could have ordered one more thing to be extra full. I don't typically get Latin American food but love all the flavors at this restaurant. Next time will try their breakfast menu!
