This is another TCB location on addition to the main one on the S st NW. Lovely atmosphere in the downtown DC, great coffee and welcoming personnel. The place is very cozy, not too much space, but you can enjoy a high chairs by the window. I've been there twice and would definitely visit again. read more

Wonderful little coffee shop located in the Pillsbury Building in the heart of downtown DC. I fell in love with The Coffee Bar's other location Shaw for their incredible coffee, friendly staff, and great vibes, and their downtown version is no different. Their coffee is rich, slightly nutty, and super smooth, and it's great in all forms -- latte, americano, drip, etc. If you don't love coffee, their matcha latte is also phenomenal and probably one of my favorites in DC. The ambiance is a little bit more corporate and a smidge more snug than the Shaw location, but it's still delightful. There are a few seats available at the window-side bar or at a long table in the center of the café, but this spot is also the perfect destination for a little mid-workday stroll with a cup of joe to go. read more

Their iced vanilla latte is honestly one of my favorites in DC. It's so simple but they manage to make it delicious every time! I love that they use a shaker to combine everything before pouring it into a glass. It helps ensure everything is combined and I love it. The space inside is very small so it's definitely more of a to go spot, but it's close to so many office buildings and open working spaces that I don't mind at all. read more

My GoTo is a Vanilla Latte and I have enjoyed each cup I have gotten. Smooth well balanced latte with a satisfying amount of Vanilla and an enjoyable sweetness. Not cloyingly sweet like some coffee chains that are abundant in this area. The space is a bit cramped, with not a lot of room to sit or even stand and wait for your order. But if you're looking for a good coffee to grab on your way into work I'd definitely recommend this place. read more

This is great little independent spot to have amidst the sea of Starbucks downtown. I'm a fan of their iced coffee and oat milk lattes, and they aren't as steeply priced as some other places around here. They've got pastries and some packaged options (which are vegan, but would love more food options for people with dietary restrictions!) They also have a gender-neutral accessible bathroom which is great. The place is small though, with not much seating, unlike their other location on the opposite side of 14th. So it can get crowded easily so there's sometimes a line. read more

I have passed the coffee bar several times but couldn't see the name of it. It often had a good amount of people inside so I have been wanting to try it out. Today I finally did and I'm quite pleased. The coffee shop is cute and offers a bit more of a local vibe which I like. I ordered a soy latte and the coffee flavor was great. The latte was steamed perfectly. And the kicker was the cute design on top with my name! I came back and showed all my coworkers haha. I def plan to come back here! read more

After many trips to DC and bouncing around the city to find great coffee this is definitely one of my top choices! Very conveniently located right by DuPont Circle and somewhat off of the beaten path. The first time I visited The Coffee Bar I loved my latte so much I had to order a second one to go! If you're visiting DC and looking for a place to grab your morning cup of coffee this is the place! Also tried a ham/cheese croissant that was delicious as well. read more

I love the coffee bar. Everyone was great. The food and coffee was wonderful and the ambience was positive and uplifting. I found the establishment to be very clean and servers knew how to serve the coffee and food. In some establishments, they'll touch the top of your cup or your plates or your utensils which is, really not restaurant best practice. I always appreciate company that trains their people well and the people that work there care about customers. read more

I was too quick to judge, and I was wrong. I owe TCB that admission. This is now one of my favorite coffee places in DC. They get classic coffee drinks right. After what had struck me as an inconsistent early period after opening, this place has been SO GOOD. I recently tried the best flat white I've had in the city, and their cortado and cappucino are excellent as well. If you love lattes, the cardamom latte is quite tasty. In general, the drinks are better if you sit down and drink them there versus taking them to go (this should probably be the case universally, but at lower caliber establishments I found it doesn't matter as much). Their baristas are also very friendly and the place just has a really great, laid-back vibe. I'm trying to go here regularly during the week, and you should too. read more

While not the best coffee shop I've ever been to, I genuinely appreciated how friendly the staff were -- particularly the individual taking orders at the register. She made sure to spell each customer's name correctly and just brought a smile to my face! I ordered a matcha latte -- usually I go for almond milk, but they only had soy / oat milk substitutes. The matcha latte wasn't particularly flavorful and tasted more watery than anything. I wanted to give it another shot the next morning, but they were out of matcha then... I also got a honey pistachio kougin aman pastry, which was a bit dry and pretty sweet. Not my favorite but still an interesting / fun pastry! Food: 1. Honey Pistachio Kougin Aman (3.5/5) Drink: 1.

Fantastic experience! Clean, warm, people were inviting, and the coffee was amazing. I loved the simple and clean decor and the fact that they had a separate coffee team of six people making coffee in the middle of the café. Patisserie was separate, which made it also really nice for those who didn't want coffee could just take their itemsand leave. I would highly recommend to anybody who likes to sit and have a cuppa coffee and people watch. I wish I had some photos to share. read more

Located at the intersection of M and 17th Streets NW, The Coffee Bar (TCB) was quite true to its big city like surroundings. There is little space with pretty limited seating, but considering their hours I'm assuming they cater predominantly to customers who are there for to go orders rather than countless hours on their laptops. Their decor, while minimal, is perfectly accentuated by the neon sign that reads "The Coffee Bar" (I wanted to take it home with me) and the presence of teal color. I won't lie I was there for the neon sign so seeing it made me happy enough, but the super friendly employees were definitely an added plus. I only had a latte but it was good. Overall, a good experience. Since I live in VA, I wouldn't go out of my way to go back, but I'd go there again when in the area. read more

Decided to pop in for a min to take a quick meeting and get a caffeine refresher and Im sure glad I did. Greeted warmly by the two gentlemen behind the bar and I asked what they do well there (this is an artisanal shop after all). One proceeded to ask what kind of beverage I enjoyed and off I went to ordering a flat white then the oat milk caught my attention. Yes, OAT MILK! He was kind enough to allow me to sample it before I actually ordered it and it was SO good. I also ordered the berry granola bar since it was a toss up between that and a biscotti. Grabbed a seat at the bar and the coffee was dropped off to me. First thing I noticed was the flavor of the beans. This particular day they had espresso beans from Peru which were amazing. The coffee was smooth and rich and the bar was fruity and delish. The only drawback was the noise level but I dont think that's a spot to work at - merely just to chill and enjoy delicious coffee! read more

If you're from NYC and miss those Manhattan coffee shops, make a visit to The Coffee Bar. Don't let the fact that it's in the ground floor of a glass office building fool you. Once you walk inside, you're transported away from the stiff, government feel that DC can have (Though this is quickly changing) and into a magical world reminiscent of the Big Apple. It's a small coffee shop mainly designed for people to get their artisan latte or tea to go, but if you want to stay, the atmosphere is inspiring and there's window seating and one long wooden table. It's decorated simply yet NYC artsy. The coffee is good (Their iced latte is one of the best in DC) and they sell an array of pastries under a small glass panel. You can't go wrong at The Coffee Bar. read more

However, the baristas behind the counter are quick, so it's a perfect choice for a quick grab-and-go! The interior accents are warm and inviting and my Dirty Chai did me just dirty enough.

Dark pools surrounded by flecks of white not only describe the massive array of coffee and espresso, but also the dark circles under my squinting eyes as I cue-up at TCB. Located in a bit of a food-desert, TCB is nourished by droves of business-dress clad patrons, who themselves are nourished by choices of drip, pour-over or espresso-based caffeine. Don't let the pre-9am lines throw you, the staff is diligent and efficient. If you are there for a quick pastry and a cup, or for a "coffee meeting", TCB has just enough space to provide. Whenever I try a new coffee joint, I go for my classic; soy latte (some days I get an extra shot..cause...you know...some days...you REALLY need it). It's very easy to see if a place can make a drink when it has two components! TCB uses a soy milk that is not overly sweetened, and fresh ground beans that were perfectly nutty and not at all bitter. Win. A light in a dark fog of morning sleep; an oasis an suit desert! read more

Sunny and intimate, this coffee shop is as close to an insta lover and coffee lovers dream. Everything about the interior screams hip and trendy from the decor on the walls (neon sign, hello!) to the tastefully rustic sugar/milk area. The entire front is windows so there's a ton of natural light. Limited seating which on one hand is great because it means a more cozy atmosphere. On the other hand it also means the shop is small and if there's more than like 5 customers then it's awkwardly cramped and you have to shimmy around other people and the tables. The coffee is also quite good. It's a smaller shop so there's more focus on the quality. I'm by no means a coffee connoisseur but I can tell the difference between good and bad coffee and this place is certainly quite delicious. read more

I stopped in because I was freezing my hands off and had a few minutes to kill before a meeting nearby. I love the Coffee Bar's whole aesthetic, but it is a small and cramped space and I often see lines out the door - which can definitely turn people off. That said, I had the best soy latte I've ever had here and I definitely want to try more complicated items to see how they measure up. There is very little seating, and I can't imagine ever trying to do work in there with the cramped feel, constant noise, and crowds, so definitely grab your items and leave.

There's plenty of seating, though I wish their back tables were smaller because then one person using their laptop takes over an entire four-top. Service is a bit slow when the place gets crowded. We left a little early when a large group of book club folks came in and tried to take every available chair they could (they should've called ahead to give the staff a heads up). Food is decent enough, especially the tasty shakshuka with lentils, but the omelet was quite dry. And maybe it's just me getting old, but the classical background music was way too loud for a Sunday. There's enough people chattering to keep the place lively. This space was empty for awhile, so I'm glad Yours Cafe is here, and I wish them success.

My personal favorites were the strawberry, the vanilla with chocolate frosting, and the vanilla which really surprises me since I've never actually enjoyed a vanilla cupcake before. I can't wait to return!!

Overall, I would come back every time I visit DC for the taste of the coffee. It was 5/5 excellent!

What keeps me coming back time and time again are their double-fried tostones. The texture and flavor is absolutely insane, and the sauce it comes with is to die for.

The staff seemed a bit overburdened trying to keep up with orders and get everything out in time. That said, the young man and woman who prepared my order were kind and very focused on doing their best. I definitely plan to return and give them another try under less hectic conditions. This location is an entire vibe. It's tucked down a painted alley that leads you to a side entrance, which I actually preferred over the front. Parking is what it is at the Wharf, but I recommend parking near the museum and walking over. Once inside, you're met with gorgeous decor and a thoughtfully designed space that feels like a Spanish-style bar set in nature. The tile, the color palette, and the food and drink options all come together beautifully. I ordered the Carrot Cake Con Leche, which came out to about $8 after tax. It was tasty and a great treat after my morning run. It did take about 15 to 20 minutes to receive my order, but given how busy it was, that felt understandable. I'm looking forward to returning and experiencing it at a calmer time.

It's a great place to go with friends, for a quick meeting, or even to get some work done. It's a very spacious location. It had a good amount of tables to occupy. We were visiting and walked here from our hotel, so I'm not sure how convenient parking is in this area. Service: Service was quick and effective.

Honestly, I'm a little late to this review after the trip so all my details may not be exact, but I ran across the photo in my phone and I had to review the spot because I enjoyed it so much. The service was friendly and quick. The space itself was very clean and simple. It seemed to be a study spot for college students so it was a bit hard to grab a place to sit for a few minutes until somebody left. Definitely worth stopping in, grabbing your coffee, and walking to the waterfront on a quiet morning. That's not exactly how we did it, but I think that's a plan for the next time we return to DC.

Service was great - super friendly and appreciated learning more details on their offerings (ie: the banana Foster's has real banana in it and it is more spice forward than banana - a win in my book). Also learned that they offer classes there! Love that they have I house roasting that you can also see. Ordered the Banana Foster's Iced Latte - however, it wasn't over ice? It was lukewarm. I think if it was over ice it would have been better. We found that strange and that is what knocked it down to 4 stars. The spice level was exactly what I expected based on what was shared upon ordering.

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.
