Great atmosphere! The peach theory seasonal drink was good. Light hints of peach and not too sweet!
Stopped here after grabbing groceries nearby. This was my first time visiting Slipstream in a couple years. (I hadn't been since they moved to this location.) I had an espresso tonic and it was so refreshing. I added a bit of simple syrup. The cafe is pretty spacious and there were a lot of people working and having lunch. Baristas were friendly and my order was fulfilled quickly. There's lots of outdoor seating as well so it seems pet friendly. There was a dog inside sitting on his human's lap beside me.
I walked over here this morning o get the "Hello Sunshine" iced coffee which is a much better blend than the free coffee a work. It was still somewhat early and I only saw one other customer come in while I have been here. They have a few breakfast options on the menu, and Jammy Bacon Egg Sandwich seemed tempting. It has 2 eggs souffle style along with cheddar cheese and bacon jam. The service was nice and the same person prepared the iced coffee right in the spot. It was easy I guess. The section closer to the sidewalk is the most ideal place to sit and chill.
Carrot walnut cake + Tahitian Vanilla Latte x2. Oddly an alarm went off with blinking lights and a verbal warning to vacate the building. We bypassed the folks looking around unsure, and GTFO. Good stuff!!
I wouldn't recommend iced drinks here. My drink, which was supposed to be an iced latte, was served to me warm because I am guessing they poured the hot drink directly on top of very little ice. They also omitted my sweetener, which I did go back and ask them to fix, which they happily did. Pretty expensive for a12 oz drink, but if it was delicious I wouldn't hesitate to go back. Slipstream is a miss for me.
Our coffee was very good, although it took longer than expected to be prepared. There wasn't much seating, but the inside was colorful and cute.
Cute spot just off Logan circle! Service is friendly and they take their coffee seriously - the Madagascar vanilla latte was delish as was the turkey club. There's lots of seating to work, but beware that the upstairs gets pretty warm in the summer months
We stopped in here to grab something after lunch. There's a lot of seating in here with two floors, everything came out quickly, and everyone working was nice. The drinks, on the other hand, were just fine. I ordered their seasonal latte, which was a strawberry matcha. Maybe it's on me for ordering matcha at a coffee shop, but this tasted like a cup of sweet milk. No strong matcha or strawberry flavor.
Came in for a late afternoon coffee and ordered a Tahitian Vanilla Latte ($6) and Thoughtful Mocha($6) through the iPad. It was not busy at all, but it took over 10 minutes for the drinks to come out. Seems like most of the employee are on their phone and only take digital orders. Drinks were not that good, not sure how to describe it besides being very off. Disappointed that it did not taste good since it was in a very nice area. Drink: 5.0 Staff/service: 3.0 Value: 6.0 Overall: 4.8/10
This was close to my hotel, so I had to try (especially since the hotel coffee was subpar). Slipstream's coffee though, is fantastic. Service was friendly and fast, plus super easy ordering. Got their lemon cookie and lox toast. The flavour was great, not too sweet and a perfect texture. The lox toast was an interesting take on lox bagel, not my favourite, but still tasty.
Solid coffee shop with good seating options, kind staff, easy ordering, and excellent coffee. I came in on a Saturday afternoon with a friend, and while it was crowded we were still able to grab a table up front by the window. It wasn't too loud, as some people were working, but it also wasn't too quiet and most people were able socializing amongst themselves. We placed our order using a QR code, but unfortunately our table didn't have one so we had to use a neighbors (which is okay minus the fact that they will bring your order to that table). My issue with the code was I scanned it for our table and somehow it opened for another location and I accidentally placed my order there? So confusing since it was supposed to be linked to the table. Nonetheless, pay attention and you should be fine! I enjoyed my breakfast sandwich and coffee and can't wait to return and try some pastries. Plus I heard a VA location is coming which is perfect for those of us in NOVA!
A good cup of coffee, and it's open relatively early. The thoughtful mocha was just what I needed to wake me up from a late train in the night before. The miso was very prominent and provided an umami contrast to the sweet chocolate. Got it hot even though it was a warm morning, so it wasn't watered down by the ice. Wasn't burning hot. Would say a good temperature. Nice that there are individual ordering stations in the store, and you can order ahead online as well.
I am pretty obsessed with their magic Matcha because it's a mix of basil and Matcha and it honestly was a very good combination. The food was fine. I feel like the rice was a bit hard for some reason and the chicken was dry. The portion sizes were good if you got the bowl. Would definitely come back for their Magic Matcha. Service was fast and there are a couple of booths for sit and work as well as a couple of tables outside the front but inside the building to eat.
Slipstream is a great coffee spot in Logan Circle! We stopped in for a quick bite and weren't disappointed. There is plenty of seating, and it's a more industrial vibe. Iced Cortado: 5/5, they made us iced lattes with less milk and they were delicious Apple Cider Muffin: 5/5, a nice sugary top and the muffin was very moist Jammy Bacon and Egg Sandwich: 3.5/5, my husband liked this more than I did, but it was good all in all! We thought there might've been horseradish or something with a bite in the "jammy" part. Still a good breakfast sandwich option! read more

Two story speciality shops are always a win for me, especially the kind that conveniently have miso chocolate mochas. Yum. From the moment I stepped in, I felt a relief from the hustle and bustle of 14th. The luxury offerings, a crowd of coworkers, and a low volume standard (atleast on the day I visited) provided a buffer between the coffee shop and the city beyond. While the salmon toast looked plucked from a magazine cover, I unfortunately found it pretty ordinary. The coffee I tried, however, inspired me to try more of the menu. I'm not sure if this is mainly a spot for theatre goers, or the general population, but I'd happily return when I'm seeking a quick "pick me up" on 14th. read more

How to you work in a neighborhood for years and fail to uncover a gem literally right under your nose? I don't have the answer, but it's happened with Slipsteam. I e walked past this little storefront almost every day - and it wasn't until a coworker mentioned it that I woke from my oblivion and ventured in. Slipstream is quite simply wonderful. While it doesn't have the most extensive menu, what they do offer is wonderful. In two days I tried a breakfast sandwich, smoked salmon toast, a Behan lemon poppyseed scone, and two different types of coffee. Not a single tho g wrong with any of them. I even went back for a second smoked salmon toast - well, just because. If your ever in the Thomas Circle area, walk up 14th and look for the high top table on the sidewalk. Don't walk past. Walk in read more
Quiet cozy atmosphere. Did my first cupping session here. Intimate as it was informational. The barista is truly a connoisseur who was happy and excited to share all her knowledge on the beauty, skill, and hard work involved in farm to cup. Flavor wheels and grading sheets were provided as we sampled each bean; guiding us to understand and make conscious associations between palette and coffee characteristics. read more

This cafe has such welcoming atmosphere with rather jazzy modern interior. very quiet. On a gloomy day, it was a good way to start the day with positive energy given by this cafe. I had sweater weather latte that seemed to be their signature drink which has interesting flavor with a little citrus touch. The waiter brought us complementary cookies for the day. read more
I can say this one of the best latte I've had. I recommend getting the Tahitian vanilla latte. It's so sweet, made with Ethiopian coffee beans, and creamy. It doesn't taste like those vanilla syrup but like a vanilla bean. There's plenty of seating here and everyone is studying or on a coffee date. Just know there isn't a lot of outlets here. The service was quick and fast. I recommend coming here! read more
I wanted to try something new in the city and saw amazing reviews of this coffee shop in Logan Circle. I took the redline metro to Farragut North and walked about 5 minutes to get there. This spot is probably one of the fanciest spots in DC in terms of the customers going there. You could feel how polite and educated people are which makes you enjoy your day more! What I loved most about this place is that you don't have to constantly ask for a cup of water because water is self-serve which is fantastic for me since I drink a lotta water after my oat milk latte. Btw, a 12 oz. of latte was $5.00. These are the type of spots that makes me regret not living in Logan Circle, honestly. Highly recommended! read more

Headed to slipstream on a Sunday morning because I've heard good things. I really loved how inside they have a QR code you order directly off of and service was pretty quick. I tried the Tahitian vanilla latte and breakfast sandwhich. Hands down great latte! The only thing is it was definitely on the pricier side of lattes that I have had. I also really enjoyed the sandwich especially the habanero jam. I'm always a fan of a sweet and spicy combo. The inside has tables that people were working off of and the bar was perfect for me since I was dining alone. Overall pretty good stop if you're in the area. read more
There's absolutely nothing I love more than spending my morning at Slipstream with a good book, a breakfast bowl, and a Tahitian vanilla latte. Slipstream has lots of seating so you can bring a friend, do some work, or enjoy time to yourself. You order at the bar and the food comes out to you. It's got free wifi and attentive service. All around one of my favorite spots to spend a slow Sunday morning. read more
This re-review is long overdue. I really love this place now. The lattes are so creamy and delicious and the baked good are so yummy. I really haven't ventures outside of breakfast but I should. There is a decent amount of seating and an efficient but friendly vibe. I also love that if I'm eating in I can get a real glass. I also love that their baked goods rotate seasonally. Right now they have a strawberry scone which is amazing. read more
A small coffee shop with a cool vibe. The tables were spread out to accommodate a party of two, but I'm sure they can be combined if necessary; counter seats are plenty. The staff were friendly and the drinks were ordered were perfect. Great place to do work, or relax while drinking a good cup of Java. read more

I went to Slipstream with the family for breakfast on a trip to DC to see the cherry blossoms. The place was 5mins walking from my hotel. They had options to order from a QR code at the table or in the front. We ordered the lattes and avacado toast. Everything was delicious and it was a great place to get breakfast. read more
Busy during mid day on a weekday, made it easy to talk openly and freely. You'll find many people working on their laptops here and there's good lighting. I felt pressured to order too quickly. I ordered the seasonal special sweet potato latte to get some unique flavor. It ended up being just ok. The breakfast sandwich is not really filling, and overpriced. It was fun to stop by but not a coffee shop I'd frequent. read more

Slipstream is a great place to get work done with plenty of outdoor and indoor seating. I got an iced pandan latte and it was good. A little hard to taste the pandan flavoring though. read more

One word: brunch. Specialty coffee drinks are creative and delish (read: "sweater weather" with tahini, fall spices, and orange zest). Food is a can't miss: eggs benedict, egg sandwich with brussel sprouts and curry aioli on a pumpkin biscuit (mind blown), and avocado toast. We stopped in fairly early on a Sunday morning and food came out quickly. Definitely wanna stop back in for dinner and drinks, but will keep this spot on my brunch shortlist. read more
