Ok SO Ive been here twice and it is DAMN GOOD! There is something to be said about a buttery and flakey croissant and they bake theirs well. So far Ive had the toffee bread pudding, yuca pao de quiejo, everything, dulce de leche pastries as well as the almond croissant- SO good. I also love that they have fresh OJ and really good coffee with homemade syrups available. This spot is small but filled with love. Looking forward to the weather breaking so I can enjoy sitting outside stuffing my face and people watching. read more

Soleluna - Frosting the cinnamon buns! - Bakeries Near Me - Washington, DC, District of Columbia

First of all, it is a unique type of coffee shop with the independent and Ecuadorian vibe to it. The staff are very friendly despite how busy it was that morning. The regular coffee is outstanding! I only wish they had more sizes to serve the drip coffee in. My only complaints are that the Croissants and some of the pastries had a heavy hand, and way too much butter. I did like the "kick" of the Mango Danish tho. They should have a few other pastries that are not so rich. I was surprised they didn't have anything for Vegans. We need more places like this that have a real authenticity to them--I hate Starbucks for the record! Sorry for no photos... read more

Came here during Porch Fest craving a good pastry and desperately needing a pick me up after brunch. The inside is very small with just 3 tables lining the wall for 2ppl each. We were serviced very fast considering the heavy foot traffic so that was a plus. I ordered a chocolate croissant and a caramel flavored coffee. The coffee was easily one of the best cups I've ever had but the croissant left much to be desired. The coffee was rich without being overly bitter or sweet but the croissant lacked the amount of chocolate I feel it needed to be considered a chocolate croissant. I've also been spoiled by ninos bakery so there's that :(. I'd definitely come back for a coffee if I was in the area. read more

Came here during a rainy Saturday, got a cold matcha latte with whole milk. Matcha flavor wasn't very strong. Not much seating inside, 2 tables with 2 chairs each, three tables outside. $5.50 for the drink post-tax. read more

After checking its high ratings online, we decided to give it a try while we were in the neighborhood. We loved their coffee--well crafted, full-flavored, and delicious--and the iced matcha latte was tasty. Their pastries, like mini blueberry Danish, chocolate croissant, frosted cinnamon rolls, and double chocolate and Nutella croissant, all paired well with their coffee. The only thing we didn't like about the cafe was that it didn't have enough tables and seats, as it is pretty small with only two small tables inside. Although there is a patio in front, tables are limited. read more

This is the spot for amazing coffee and pastries! Don't be deterred by a long line outside, they're staffed to the gills and move quickly. I was behind 10+ people outside, and couldn't even see inside the shop when I got in line. Less than 10 minutes later, I was outside with two hot beverages and two pastries baked right in their shop. Totally worth it and far better than quickly scooping up substandard facsimiles at a major chain nearby. So, enjoy, sit outside, live the European-style of casually sipping and letting time slip past with the leisure of someone who isn't in a terrible rush and has no interest in conversation with amazing coffee. read more

Drinks were pretty good, but not amazing. However, for the price point I can see why there are lines out the door. Downside is there is very little seating so this is definitely more a grab and go coffee shop. read more

Soleluna - Bakeries Near Me - Washington, DC, District of Columbia

Across the street from another popular coffee shop, Soleluna still had a line that went outdoors which definitely showcases as a strong coffee shop contender. There isn't much seating at all inside but there are a couple tables outside on a small patio of the restaurant. Everything here is made from scratch daily and looks extremely appetizing with a wide selection of pastries and huge stuffed croissants. Despite there being a line the service was really fast, I was able to try one of their croissants as well as their cookie butter latte which was really rich and you could taste the cookie butter from the beginning to the end holding its flavor the entire drink which is unusual for an iced drink as they tend to lose flavor. read more

Sweet little coffee shop down the street from Tryst & Lost City Books, local Ecuadorian shop with really good coffee and on the lower priced end compared to other shops in the area. Do yourself a favor and get a few Honey Butter Wheat Medialuna Croissants, you'll thank me later! read more

Soleluna - Vanilla Flat White - Bakeries Near Me - Washington, DC, District of Columbia

good coffee and reasonable prices! a little on the strong side if you like that! they do not charge extra for different milks or syrups

I have to say the pistachio flat croissant is perfect and out of this world. After trying the coffee a couple times, it is not my preference, but the pastries are really excellent. Service is great and is clear the employees take pride in their work. Place is tiny, so don't expect to get much work done. read more

I stopped by Soleluna this past weekend for a coffee and found it very charming. It's a small coffeeshop and bakery with some seating outdoors and just a high top and 2-4 chairs inside. I stopped by around 8:00 a.m. on a Sunday morning and walked right in. I ordered an iced americano and drooled over their favorite beautiful pastries (I don't even have much of a sweet tooth, but their pastries looked gorgeous). The service was fast and friendly, and my iced americano was great. I enjoyed my coffee on a walk to Meridian Hill Park. Around 11:00 a.m., I was in front of Soleluna again (just passing by) and noticed there was now quite a line. I imagine it moves quite fast (there's really nowhere to go inside which might make the line look a little longer than it really is). So, Soleluna is great, and it's no secret! If you stop by earlier in the morning, it won't take long at all to get a coffee and a treat, but you should expect a bit of a wait if you go later in the morning on a weekend. I'd happily return. read more

Soleluna - Bakeries Near Me - Washington, DC, District of Columbia

This is a sweet little pastry and coffee shop right near the main intersection in ADMO. Blink and you could miss it, but don't miss it because the pastries are on point and they have all kinds of lovely coffee drinks as well. I would also highlight that the monkey bread is a very well priced pastry for this area and they have different flavors, including savory. Some of the savory croissants can also be a full lunch or breakfast and they also have personal quiches. There are only two small tables inside so plan accordingly during winter. There are outside tables as well. read more

OMG! Soleluna has been on my list for quite some time but I haven't had the time to make the trek up to admo but I am glad I could today!! I went with two friends that have been urging me to go, so of course I did! Smaller cafe but has some seating indoor and outdoor (would probably have to come early in the day if you want to wfh here, but that wasn't my objective for today. The inside was soooo cute though! First entered in, the staff was unbelievably so kind and welcomed us in with huge smiles. We did come during the last hour before closing, so I am so gracious they were all kind especially at the end of the day. I got the cookie butter latte iced 9/10 and the mango cheese danish 10/10! The pastry was DELICIOUS and I want to try everything. Cookie butter latte has the yummiest cold foam on top. I need to go back like asap. read more

This bakery really feeds the Sole! We stopped in on a Sunday afternoon for a coffee and a treat- I have an oat cappuccino and a plain croissant($3) and both were delicious! The prices were super reasonable- the croissant was classic, buttery, flaky and fresh despite it being late in the day. And the coffee was good, beans weren't too acidic. They don't have too much room inside but have a few covered tables outside. There are no stairs to the cafe! Overall, would definitely recommend trying this place out- the staff was super nice and the pastries were great! read more

I've been going to this little cafe at least once a month for about a year now, and I just want to sing its praises a little bit more! The cinnamon rolls they sometimes have on the weekend have to be my favorite in DC (so soft, so gooey, never skimping on the cinnamon) and the quiches are spot-on. Every time I start my day with a pastry from Soleluna it just brightens my morning, and it's so great to see staff making everything from scratch and pulling warm pastries from the oven when you get there early in the day. Glad to have a cozy little cafe like this in the neighborhood and that their prices have stayed reasonable. If there's something specific you want, I recommend coming early because they do sell out. read more

I've only had coffee takeaway before and I've been meaning to try out the baked goods here. My friends kindly got takeaways for me and they taste absolutely fantastic even the next day after leaving them on the counter, in an air tight container. Would love to come visit the cafe again some time. read more

Definitely going back to try all the croissants they have! So I guess the line was indeed worth it! read more

Cute little coffee shop. And by little, I mean *little*-- pretty much standing room only. Se habla español. They allow (or don't care about) dogs inside for you codependent people who can't go anywhere without your dogs, lol. My absolute fave thing here is their guava croissant, omg. It's the stuff of dreams. They are small, about 2-3 bites. I could easily eat six, but self-restraint. Also, there's a line now for service since the Starbucks closed down. read more

Pastries were just ok. Not terrible but not great. I could maybe even give it 4 stars if this place was nice, clean and was in a good location but whole experience was sort of bad. The area itself is not great (not necessarily the fault of the establishment). But there was a pretty aggressive homeless person going inside the cafe and harassing people for money. Then the place was a little dirty and smelled weird. The coffee was good however the coffee guy just kept reusing the same glasses for espresso shots without rinsing them and they looked filthy. read more

Needed a pick me up in the afternoon after a lot of walking. Found this cute little bakery we stopped in. We ordered their Chai lattes and a croissant. The Chai lattes were good. I definitely felt the milk overpowered the chai flavor but it was still refreshing to have. The croissant was thick and not as flaky as I would have liked but still a good one. A nice and quick little cafe to check out! read more

Soleluna - Freddo Cappuccino - Bakeries Near Me - Washington, DC, District of Columbia

This is a wonderful bakery with lots of great pastries and delicious coffee. My wife and I came here back in May while in town for a conference and we tried several croissants, including passionfruit, pistachio, and guava, all of which were very flavorful and buttery (the guava was the best). I got a cappuccino and my wife got a Freddo espresso, both of which were also delicious and paired excellently with the pastries. It's a great place to grab some coffee and snacks and we'd definitely visit again! read more

The coffee isn't exceptional and I think they were having an off day when I went because they had messed up a couple of drink orders while I waited in line. I was there on a Sunday afternoon and there was a small line out the door, but they moved fast. I ordered an iced latte with chai syrup and I couldn't taste the chai, so either their syrups are weak or they forgot it. Despite this, I would come back over and over again for their pastries. I got a ham and cheese croissant, shaped like a traditional pain au chocolate. The layers are flaky and the crust of it was so crispy. You can also ask for them to be warmed up! read more

My favorite place for viennoiserie sadly closed its doors and so I began the pursuit of finding an acceptable replacement. Solely a focused on traditional French items with a twist.i indulged in their pistachio and almond croissant. Their pistachio croissant surprised me by not having a filling and only have pistachios on the top (2/5). The almond croissant also wasn't the standard as instead of a frangipane filling it was filled with a sweet almond extract cream (1/5). I doubt that I'll be back for more than a coffee (4/5). read more

Best croissant in the district, hands down. So many creative flavors, you can't go wrong stopping in for a quick bite or latte. I tried the frozen cappuccino at the suggestion of a friend I was with, and it's one of my favorites cups of coffee I've had in DC in the four years I've lived here. Also, very cute shop. If i close my eyes, ever so slightly, I can feel like I'm in Europe. Definitely stop in when in AdMo! read more

Incredible little café with an outstanding pastry selection and some of the best coffee available in DC! This hole-in-the-wall spot is located in the heart of Adams Morgan, where space is limited but the vibrancy and vibes are not. Soleluna adds to the cool, artsy energy of the neighborhood with their warm, friendly staff, unique assortment of pastries, and awesome Ecuadorian coffee. The coffee has genuinely never missed; I love the beans themselves, so I normally opt for an americano or a latte, but they also have a ton of homemade syrups that are just absolutely incredible. Whether you're a bitter or a sweet coffee drinker, Soleluna has you covered! They also have a fun selection of pastries, including fruity, tropical options like their guava or passionfruit croissant, or their mango danish. If something savory is a bit more your speed, they also have a classic ham and cheese croissant, everything bagel danish, and outstanding leek quiche. I usually go for something classic, like their standard croissant or pain au chocolat, but everything -- from the basics to the specialty -- are perfectly executed, phenomenally flaky, and 100% delicious. The shop is quite small, so, while there's a couple of small tables available outside, you're most likely going to have to take your order to go. There's barely enough space for the line to wrap around inside of the café, but I promise both the wait and the hassle of finding a new spot to enjoy your treats is completely worth it. read more

Soleluna is an adorable cafe in Adams Morgan that is perfect for catching up with friends or as a work from home spot.

Pretty standard coffee, but well worth the cost. Service was speedy. Will be back! read more

I absolutely loved this coffee shop and bakery! I'm so glad I decided to try it out while waiting around for some errands with my kids. Everything about it was great. Starting out with the drinks. I had a cappuccino with oat milk and it was perfect. It didn't need any sugar, since the coffee wasn't burnt at all. My daughter had a Chai which was delicious, she didn't even want to share it with anyone. It had the perfect sweetness and spicyness. To eat, I had a chocolate almond croissant. It's pretty large, so you could even share it if you're not too hungry. It was spongy on the inside and flaky on the outside. The filling was great and not overpowering at all. We also had a chocolate croissant, which had a whole lot of filling and was also large. Baked to perfection! and a guava croissant which was smaller than the other two, but super great quality and flavorful. I fully recommend all three! Now, the place itself is really cute and the staff is super friendly! Despite the long wait line that day, the staff did not look stressed, they were really nice and helpful, and handed the orders so quickly! The shop is small but it's got some chairs and tables set outside, which were really nice because you get to enjoy your coffee and baked goods in a busy but not overwhelming street. We loved it and will definitely be coming back!! read more
