I wanted a quick spot to relax on a day off from work and found vigilante. It's a cool spot with cool people working there, I can see why the place is popular for college students and wfh enthusiasts. I had a small classic açaí bowl with no blueberries and an iced matcha. When they say small, they mean it but it's honestly just enough. The açaí was honestly a highlight for me and I'd easily come back for it. read more

I've been to Vigilante Coffee many times at both the Hyattsville and College Park locations. During warmer months it's usually packed on weekends, so the slower pace in colder weather felt expected. I ordered online and grabbed the 16 oz salted maple latte. Smooth, balanced, and not overly sweet. Their mocha is also really good and always consistent. It's one of those spots where you'll see people holding meetings, studying, or casually linking up with neighbors from outside their own area. The atmosphere is relaxed and welcoming. They offer plenty of drink and food options, and the croissants I've tried have always been fresh. I also love being able to see the coffee machines in action. The staff is consistently friendly and smiling, which makes you want to keep coming back. Definitely worth a visit if you're near either location. read more

I'm the Queen of some place new, and this first time visit to a neighborhood coffee shop did not disappoint. I got a peppermint matcha and my mom went for the eggnog latte. We demolished both beverages, dunking our peppermint mocha biscotti's merrily along the way. This place is cute and has the perfect vibe. Working during the holidays can be challenging so I'll extend grace to the waitstaff who did their jobs efficiently and kindly (though I could sense their general fatigue). All and all, I will definitely be returning! read more

They offer some other breakfast treats and other pastry items and cookies. Maybe I'll try something to accompany my drink next time ;))) But for now this Biscoff cookie that came with my drink will have to do! Happy Yelping! read more

Went because I bought the Maryland cafe passport. The recommended drink was hot vanilla latte. My husband got a mocha. I was a little upset that they only offered whole milk and then nut milks. I was forced to get the vanilla latte as it comes. I usually instantly take off at least 1 star just on that fact. However, once I took a sip of my drink, it was like an out of body experience it was so good. My husband was blown away and instantly noticed it was REAL ingredients. Real chocolate in the mocha and vanilla bean in the vanilla latte. No syrups. No wonder their menu is a little basic. It doesn't need anything extra to stand out. I consider myself a coffee connoisseur. I don't rate many coffee places over the moon. If I could give this place more than 5 stars, I would. read more

This coffee shop in Hyattsville may be the only reason why I'd even visit there in the first place. This spacious coffee shop has an indoor and outdoor section where there's a lot of space for anyone. Whether it be a group or just you, there's always somewhere to sit and I appreciate that. Like most coffee shops, Vigilante Coffee serves hot drinks like coffee, tea, hot chocolate and cold drinks like cold brew coffee, iced lattes, and lemonade. There's also the option for pastries if you are into that, along side with fruit bowls and bagels if you need food too. I got a regular latte for my visit and a almond croissant which seems to be my go to pairing when I go to a cafe. You place an order and they call by your order number for you to pick up at the counter. I was impressed at the latte art, it is pretty when you receive your cup of coffee. The almond crossaint was also really good too! If there was a closer location I'd no doubt say this is one of the best coffee shops in NoVA but for now, it's one of my favorites in MD! read more

Non-coffee drinkers... don't let cafes like this discourage you. If you like somewhere to work and want some appetizing looking pastries, look no further! This cafe has a beautiful mural on the side of the building... it's perfect for pictures if cars aren't parked on the side of it. There's plenty of tables both inside and outside. It was just nice enough to be able to sit outdoors, even though it was all in the shade. The person I was meeting was inside, though. I decided to order some hibiscus tea, which was quite refreshing, and was ready almost immediately in a lovely cup. Delicious pastries, including kouign amann, were on display. I was tempted, but I decided not to. But I'm seeing amann at more and more cafes and bakeries now -- is it a new trend or have I just not been paying attention? Parking can be a bit of a challenge, but that doesn't take away from the epicness of this cafe. And it's bigger than the College Park location. Swing by if you ever want to get away from your desk! read more

Very cute coffee shop in Hyattsville! It's spacious with lots of indoor and outdoor seating. People were at tables working on their laptops, so it's a nice space to work remotely. They offer coffee, tea, and hot chocolate, as well as bagels, pastries, and acai bowls. I got the almond croissant, which was great, and the fruit bowl with yogurt and granola, which I also enjoyed. The customer service was wonderful! read more

Fabulous food selection (especially in pastries section), espresso, service and ambiance! Enjoyed my time, people watching and reading a book there... this spot has cool artsy fartsy decors around the place to give some artsy and rustic feeling. It reminded me of Portland, Oregon. It has more than plenty of seatings with tables around indoor and outdoor. Take your pick anywhere! Ordered hot vanilla latte - it was delicious, and strong espresso flavor blended with foamy milk and vanilla flavor. Great latte around this place! Honey pistachio kouign - delicious pistachio and honey pastry.... Basically some pistachio paste inside the flaky pastry then topped with honey and crushed pistachios. Impressed with the sweet pastry! Ham and cheddar croissant - can't go even wrong with it! Amazing ham, surrounded with melted cheddar then crunchy and flaky pastry hugging these. Overall it's very satisfying for a savory pastry! I highly recommend it to be warmed up to enjoy it even more! read more

Over the last few years Vigilante has become the favorite part of my weekend plans. I love stopping in for a latte and almond croissant. If I'm mixing it up, maybe I'll get an açaí bowl. Their lattes are consistently delicious and beautifully decorated. The service I've received has been prompt and pleasant. The space fills up on Saturdays and Sundays with run clubs, bike clubs and lots of families. There's a variety of seating both inside and outside including a massive live edge wood table that looks over the coffee roasting area. We've always found seating when needed, though occasionally take our winnings to go. read more

I liked the atmosphere and the coffee was good. Service was pleasant and quick given the crowd

This shop was unfamiliar to me as a former Hyattsville resident, I had not heard of this shop, which lies in an odd set of intersections involving a lot of one-way streets. But other people have heard of it, and I was glad I ordered in advance even on a Monday as it was crowded. My order was ready pretty much exactly when promised. Their chai latte has a strong spice blend; there's definitely some nutmeg in there but I couldn't pick all the flavors. Doing it with oat milk cost extra, but only 0.25$ (so many places charge a dollar or more). I ordered half of the bagel form of avocado toast, which was good, maybe not the GOAT as was claimed, but a worthy compliment to the well-browned croissant I paired it with. The brick-walled atmosphere made it look like a nice place to sit in, but for what I needed-a quick stop on the way to a destination-this place produced exactly what I wished of it. read more

First time trying a new coffee spot that's not Starbucks or dunkin. Wow I was amazed. Not only does this place have a unique environment that's shows off their coffee beans being grinder fresh by this huge machine. But they have nice comfy seating outside and inside! The decor is very chill and the vibes are so nice. Cashiers and baristas were fast and friendly with their service. Providing excellent service with a smile and ensuring that everything was accurate. Now on to my favorite part. The coffee. I got a flat white w/oat milk and my partner got maple spice latte. Along with the "barista style" bagel which is your choice of bagel, Nutella and banana topping. Everything was delicious, full of flavor and just divine. I enjoyed everything and will definitely be coming back again. read more

Met a friend on a Sunday morning. There is a parking lot that is 50 cents per hour , like 1 min walk away. Parking on the lot was free on Sundays. There really isn't any parking infront of here, but looked like some ppl just randomly decided to park here. This location appears to be "down an alley". If you go past the Post office, you missed the "alley" Arrived @ 11AM and there was a nice line of people already waiting to order! There are tables inside to sit by yourselves or with friends. Also, there are menu scans on the tables so you can order from your table and pay thru your phone. I didnt know this until I grabbed a table after ordering in line. Their online menu is extremely descriptive , offering photos of all items and prices! I loved that! The coffee shop was playing music the likes of Lauryn Hill. A chill atmosphere Non gender bathrooms, one of them did have a baby changing table I got the baristas favorite - plain bagel with peanut butter, bananas and a drizzle of honey. It was a mess! lol, like messy. I didn't even eat half of a bagel. I just forked up the bananas Also, had the Mint coffee. It was okay May stop back to work from here on a nice mid day. Glad I checked this place out! read more

I've had vigilante coffee numerous times at outlets throughout the DMV, and was glad to have dropped by their flagship shop in Hyattsville! It was late morning on a Saturday and the place was buzzing. Despite that, I still managed to find a table for two. There were many bites available, including Bakeshop goodies, which I looooveee! We decided to just get a vanilla latte and flat white and they were both enjoyable. With my limited coffee knowledge, I'll say I typically prefer a medium roast flavor that isn't acidic. This espresso drink matched my palette well and it was so delish! I enjoyed it so much, I had to ask which beans they used: it's the Tin Lizzie and I grabbed a bag I don't have a car and don't find myself in Hyattsville often, but I'd definitely return read more

Vigilante Coffee - Regular Açaí bowl - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Hyattsville, Maryland

So lately I've been on a hunt to find spots other than Starbucks (I use to be a huge fan but I woke up and got educated on what they stand for etc--- long story short I'm good) Anywho about Vigilant the coffee shop. It was interesting I saw a few things that sparked my interest online (cold brew frenzy) which they no longer serve it was disappointing. However I didn't let that stump on my parade I was determined to find something I liked. I got the iced housemade vanilla latte and omgoodnesssssss it was good (insert Keith lee eye roll) I also got the açaí bowl with no granola (even though I didn't want granola they were also out. So I am guessing this is a popular item on their menu. However for me personal I have tasted and made better! Can't go wrong with a smoothie and fresh fruit though! Service was great quick for the time (I came mid-day) that I came there. I don't expect it to be too busy it is off campus to UMD (University of Maryland College Park), but it's definitely in the cut too. It's not visible on the street and parking is very limited in this area. I saw a cute dog without a leash! Do I think that's sanitary or safe for customers depends. As long as they stay with their owner and is on a leash I have no complaints. However, people will do what they want to do!!! ENFORCE PET BOUNDARIES IN THE FUTURE. I like dogs but because of restrictions in some places I choose to keep mine at home where he is safe Any who the ambiance of the place was very casual and coffee shop like. They have mugs, travel cups, shirts, dessert displays and seating. Everything a college student, in town resident, or visiting tourist would enjoy. I know a lot of reviews were talking about customer service but these employees were nice to me, quick, efficient, and on there stuff! 4/5 stars because Positive: - fancy coffee roaster the smells and aroma in the air from that is lovely. - coffee was probably the best shop coffee I've had EVER!!! I drink a lot of coffee might I add. - customer service -Quick service Negative: - no pet restrictions or even a sign welcoming them - açaí bowl was not my favorite - parking (however what coffee shop do you know that has great parking!!! I'll wait.... NONE exactly, so you get my point!) That's all folks! I will be returning! read more

I wish I lived a little closer but it's a treat when I do fulfill my need for the G.O.A.T. bagel and chai tea latte. I absolutely love the G.O.A.T. bagel. It is absolutely delicious. I would not have thought of mixing goat cheese, avocado mash, cherry tomatoes, and some old bay sprinkle. Sometimes I add on a little balsamic drizzle as well. They also have the cherry bagel which has arugula, balsamic glaze, avocado mash, and cherry tomatoes which is pretty delicious as well. As far as my drink of choice, I have not found another place that can make my chai tea latte taste like Vigilante's. I prefer oat milk with mine but it pairs well with the "cardamom, ginger, cracked pepper, and notes of cinnamon and cayenne". I prefer to order in advance since the bagels do sell out but I've ordered at the register a few times and the service is always great. The staff is pretty friendly and helpful. I love the look and feel of the space but if you'd like to have a seat here, get here early. It is a great space to get some work, planning, or reading done. read more

Vigilante Coffee - The G.O.A.T. bagel with balsamic drizzle - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Hyattsville, Maryland

The vibe is California, the coffee is delicious, the service is good. I had a pour over. It was some kind of beans that had been (from what I read) fermented before being dried and roasted. There was a little card that came with it that explained the whole process and flavor profile. Really fun to read and experience the flavor at the same time. Next time I'll drink first then read for that blind taste test experience. And was a totally normally priced cup of coffee $. Like $10 for coffee and a taste treat. Good deal. Also across the street from a supper cool art gallery and cheap parking. Like .50c per hour at the pay to park read more

I visited Vigilante Coffee 2 or 3 times. Once was in October 2019. My girlfriend at that time recommended this place. It's cute, kind of a warehouse feel with high ceilings. It was a comfortable setting for WiFi, where my girlfriend & I WiFi that day. The staff was cordial, and the coffee drink was good. I also visited on Thursday, March 12, 2020, a dramatic day. I had work travel, and where I was for my work travel was very busy; I think because people were trying to get s**t done before Covid was threatening to shut everything down. I got my oil change that afternoon before Vigilante, where I wifi while waiting for my car. I remember Governor Larry Hogan declaring Emergency in Maryland. Everyone in the waiting area was glued to the TV to hear what the Governor had to say. And he said we're shutting schools down for 2 weeks; an older elementary aged kid exclaimed, "Yes! No schools for 2 weeks!" I'm thinking this was not the reaction I'm having considering the unprecedented situation we were all in, but also was thinking this is how kids are when they hear no school, they'd get excited; I might've reacted the same way if I was elementary school age too. I WiFi at Vigilante to end out my work day in this comfortable calming environment on this rough day. read more

[Pre-pandemic review] Came here with a group of friends. The cool part of this coffee shop is the history and art. There is a portion of the café that is just a wall of art. Inside there is a good amount of seating but the chairs and table sizes were not very large or comfortable that I would consider working in. Prices for the coffee and food as pretty pricey. The waiters come around to your table to take your order so you may feel more inclined to pay tip. I got an oatmeal bowl with warm milk which was pretty good, but not worth the price. I did like that the blueberries they served were big and sweet. Parking was challenging as most parking in this area is metered. We did find a free lot nearby and walked a few blocks over. read more

I loved the atmosphere. It was super cute when I walked in, customers had their laptops out , others were just chatting and people with pets were front. I made my order quickly at the front, paid and was asked if I wanted "to go" or "for here". I was given a tag and told my order would be over. I really like that you could sit anywhere you liked and my order (açaí bowl and tea )were brought to me fairly quickly. I was meeting a friend I haven't been able to catch up with. I probably won't be back as it was a 45 min drive to get there. However, if you are near this area it's a nice spot to kick back and catch up with a friend. read more

On a crisp winter day in 2022, we decided to layer up and cycle to Vigilante. This is an important selection for our first coffee ride of the year. It kinda sets the tone. This place has loads of character. I took a minute to take in the artwork on the side of the building then made my way inside. The cafe is cute & the aroma of the brews hit me as soon as I entered. They take fresh coffee and brewing seriously!! Friendly employee engagement is also a personal touch that I miss ordering from busy chains. I ordered the maple spice latte & a sweet treat. Contactless payment was a breeze. We sat outside to enjoy and continued discussing Maryland's history before our trek back to East Potomac Park. Vigilante is a socially conscious business supporting local & global initiatives that make our environment a better place...you can find more info about those initiatives and cool merch, high quality grinders, & coffee subscriptions on the website. Support!!! Tip: Check out their Brew Works educational series on You Tube. You may learn a thing or two. read more

A fab find at Vigilante for me--coffee from Yemen. I very much appreciate Yemen's coffee, so was thrilled to find some here. Vigilante sells it as part of their "Crème de la Crème" line.

Introduced to this place and came here for the first time today. I ordered their chai latte with soy milk for $6.36. My friend ordered their mocha latte and bagel with cream cheese. What's hot - Quality. My chai latte was delicious! I could taste some chocolate, too. Chai is naturally a little gingery/spicy, which I could taste and absolutely loved. My friend's bagel with cream cheese looked good and it didn't look like they skimped on the cream cheese. - Prices. Pretty reasonable, especially for the portions and quantity you get. - Service. Fast and efficient. My friend and I arrived around 8:30am. We were able to place our orders fairly quickly and get our orders quickly, as well. They have a good system of tracking dine-in orders with providing you with a small placard. - Pastries. My friend, who has come to Vigilante for years says their pastries all come from local bakeries, which means they're freshly made on a regular basis. Definitely a great quality. - Socially conscious. They offer compostable containers! My friend and I ordered our drinks in takeaway cups, in case we didn't finish our drinks. That's when I learned their containers are compostable. I appreciate businesses that rise up to the responsibility of being aware of current issues that affect them and their customers. - Location. Pretty convenient and not on the main road, which I like, because that means you're dealing with less traffic. - Layout. Pretty spacious interior with a decent number of tables and chairs. It looks like they offer free Wi-Fi, but I'm uncertain, because I didn't use it when I was there. What's not - No savory breakfast option. Call me picky, but I like savory breakfast options, like breakfast eggs sandwiches, lox and bagels, etc.... They don't have those types of options, which kinda sucks. Not the biggest downside, but something to be aware of. - Parking. It's a neighborhood cafe, so be prepared that parking in the area isn't the easiest to come by. Final Answer Am happy to have been introduced to this place and will more than likely return in the future. read more

I love Vigilante coffee! It's my second purchase and their Cheffe beans are absolutely delicious. I plan to stay a loyal customer, especially after my recent experience with their customer service. I ordered their beans but they would've arrived late based on their classic shipping method. After emailing them, they offered to ship it using an expedited service without asking for extra money. That was unexpected and extremely nice of them! I've yet to come to the actual location - which I will definitely do for one of their coffee tastings - but the coffee and service speaks for itself. I found them at a local, DC coffee shop called Somewhere in Navy Yard. After dialing in the beans, I had to get more. I'm excited to try their other varieties! Highly recommend. read more

Five stars for the salted caramel latte- it was a little sweet but unbelievably delicious. The coffee is by far the star of this place. I'd say three stars for the fruit bowl with granola and Greek yogurt. It was extremely expensive for what it was, even if it tasted good! Also, the space is beautiful. This isn't their fault but I wish it was larger. Could you believe it was hard to find a seat at ten am on a Thursday? That's telling as to how good the coffee is! read more
