    One the best Iced Vanilla Matcha Lattes that I ever had. [[HIGHLIGHT]]This is a cute coffee bar.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The staff are so friendly

    latte

    I ordered the cardamom latte, and it was good! I did get the slight hint of spice! It took 12 minutes from the time I ordered to the time my order was ready, during peak hours at 8:30am. At least the staff was nice and friendly!

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

    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. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The ambiance is a little bit more corporate and a smidge more snug than the Shaw location, but it's still delightful.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]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.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]

    [[HIGHLIGHT]]Bright and airy coffee shop with air conditioning[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] . Great service, strong coffee, and close to the WeWorks. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Loved crowd-watching too - definitely worth checking out![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]

    Inside

    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. [[HIGHLIGHT]]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.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]

    Coffee snob here came for some coffee, wanted to try drip it's always my go to when trying a new place because if they can't do drip right it might be downhill from there. Coffee was great service was fast [[HIGHLIGHT]]just wish there was more seating[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]

    Iced coffee with oat milk

    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.

    Cute latte!

    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!

    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.

    Excellent customer service and delish lattes! [[HIGHLIGHT]]Nice decor and ambiance.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Definitely would come back.

    Found this little gem near my office and was so happy I had time to stop by. I ordered Chai tea for the first time and it won't be my last. Im not much of a coffee/tea drinker, but thankfully the cashier was very patient with me and explained the menu options. Can't wait to go back!

    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.

    Flattery will get you places.

    I've tried so many coffee shops in town, but for sure without doubt this is the best of all of…read morethem. Coffee is my souls peace ! , it's so good, and I really loved the place and the coffee they're making. I met the owner he was so cool to explain the process, which even my little loved hearing about ! Definitely one of my favorite spots here. recommended

    Coffee hits different here with the right notes. DC's diverse crowd is truly served well here…read more While not a coffee expert per se, I try to be open to different flavors nuanced and not. I tend to like sugar (too much) but try to drink black sometimes to try to appreciate the actual coffee flavor and for health reasons. Nice way to hydrate in a fancy way. Art work doesn't typically grab me but this art work did. If I had money, time, and comfortable accessibility to purchase, I would. I am sure I could order online and have shipped but I like to avoid shipping costs if I can. The realism and detail grab me in a way I like. The DC tunnel views that continue to beautify DC's respectable metro system show you that Jimmy is truly a local DC artist. It is reminiscent for me of Juniper Lane's music album cover Tightrope. I didn't notice this until after the fact but apparently when you buy art directly from here you get 15% of your purchase for more coffee here too. Wow. Why the missing star? This is kinda picky but if I wasn't looking or a foreigner, I could've accidentally added hand sanitizer to my coffee and well that's a big no no. Granted the bottle is labeled but I am not a fan of this being in the same area as the coffee add-ons. I know spacing is tight and maybe someone moved this bottle in this area but I don't get that sense and just think it's not a good setup. If this place wanted to expand , I think finding good NYC locations would be optimal as well. I am unsure if Philly would be good or not as an additional location as a coffee culture crowd. Of course I would still come back. It was worth the 15 min walk from the convention center in this hot August weather.
