Very Berry Bowl
Devon K.

Located in the heart of DuPont Circle, Zeleno is a great spot to grab an açaí bowl! Went early on a Saturday and no one was there. The space is cute and welcoming. Split a rainbow Very Berry bowl that was delicious and packed with tons of fruit. Prices are super reasonable and it seems like a great space to have a chill snack or grab breakfast. They have free water which I appreciated (I just wish it had ice in it as it was very warm!) I will definitely be back!

COMBO (soup+sandwich) - mushroom soup + chicken sandwich

Zeleno is a very nice and cozy place. It was warm inside and the staff were just as warm too. I ordered soup because it was cold outside and the soup was hot and warmed my belly. I enjoyed the chicken sandwich as well.

Stopped in here on a really hot day and was so happy we did! The açai bowl was so refreshing and actually very filling as I got the larger size that has a layer of ice right oats and chia seed layer! The chopped almonds and fruit on top was perfectly crunchy!

Beautiful, quaint cafe with healthy food options! I had the peanut butter toast which was incredibly filling. I also had a shot of espresso which was delish. I'd definitely return for a quick bite in Dupont Circle.

This place is so cute. I love that it's very healthy and has vegan options. They're known for their açaí bowls. I got the island refresher bowl. The largest bowl is actually so much, so I recommend the 16 oz. The blue bass is very interesting like a subtle flavoring. There's alot of nuts on it. The flower is even edible. I wish they put honey on top tho to make it sweet. There's not that many seating but you can work from here. The staff was really quick to make my bowl. I also saw they got sandwiches and salads too.

If you're rolling into the year with a wellness mindset, this coffee smoothie Café will be your friend. They have "power coffees" as they call them with a lot of healthy ingredients. I stopped in for the Bibis Beet Latte and really enjoyed it after my Pilates class. The decor is perfect for a cute photo with your coffee or smoothie. I saw a lot of people studying here so if you're in school or work from home and need a change of scenery, this may be your new favorite spot. The barista's were friendly and efficient. I will be coming back here soon.

Silk Road Bowl
Marilyn C.

Met up with a friend here for coffee and a quick bite. I wasn't sure what to expect but I had passed this place so many times, I thought I'd give it a try. Inside is so cute! It's definitely on the smaller side but there are a few tables in the back for folks to enjoy their coffee and things. I got a latte with oat milk and the Silk Road bowl because the toppings looked yummy (blueberries, coconut, and cacao nibs). I didn't expect for the bowl to look so cute! This was the perfect place for my friend and I to have a casual catch up. So glad I stopped by!

Cute little coffee spot. Good option if you want to try something unique. Cozy seating options in the back that feel intimate.

Although this place was a pretty far and pricey Uber ride from my hotel, it was such an enjoyable treat! My bowl was full of flavor and a great way to start my day! The blueberry muffin was also a delicious treat! I'd definitely suggest trying them out!

Very Berry
Sara R.

I hadn't been to Zeleno in a while. a açai bowl, but decided to go with the very berry (see image). This has to be my favorite bowl by far! The size of the bowl has gotten smaller, no surprise there with everything getting smaller or more expensive. My new favorite thing is the barista, she was so nice and had a smile the whole time. I normally eat outside, but it was chilly, so I opted for inside. Tried to get some work done, but there was a lot of talking going on, so left an hour later.

a gem for smoothies! price is decent (better than what I have seen around DC), it's super cozy and cute inside. Mango dragon is refreshing and delicious!

Matcha Gotcha
Molly K.

What a fantastic smoothie I had at Zeleno! I visited Zeleno for some fuel before marching in the DC Pride Parade. When I went inside I absolutely loved their leafy well with a neon rainbow. I am not sure if they always have the rainbow up or if that was special for Pride Month. Either way it was picture perfect and I loved the aesthetic. Their menu seems very Veg friendly. All of their roasts had honey in it which you could probably ask to be excluded or maybe they can replace it with something. I opted to try the Matcha Gotcha smoothie for a nice energy boost and nourishment. This smoothie hit the spot! It was so creamy, and I loved that there was no gritty taste despite blending in many ingredients. The flavor was the perfect balance of sweetness and it certainly gave me the energy I needed to march in the DC Pride Parade. I would definitely return here to try some more of their menu. The service was great, quality was stellar, and location is perfect being so close to the Dupont metro station.

Bluestone Lane Cafe whisked me away on a delightful journey back to my first European café…read moreexperience. Picture this, a cozy setting, the aroma of fresh coffee in the air, and the perfect cup in hand. Can you say latte? Our Cinnamon Almond Lattes were nothing short of perfection, rich, creamy, and topped with a heart shape to celebrate Valentine's Day. They were truly a work of art, especially when paired with a delightful chocolate cookie that melted in your mouth, adding to the overall experience. Our server, who managed the room with grace and expertise, was an absolute gem. He guided us toward the best choices, enhancing our meal with his recommendations. When our food arrived, it was a feast for the eyes. The pancakes were served in individual cast iron pans, adding a rustic charm to the presentation. The eggs and bacon were flawlessly cooked and utterly delicious. The ambiance played a significant role in our experience too; with glass walls on three sides, the café felt open and airy, seamlessly connected to the library next door. Our table was perfectly situated to enjoy our lattes, but when breakfast arrived, it felt a bit cramped. With all those delightful dishes spread out, more space would have made the experience even better. Nonetheless, we managed to savor every bite.

Love is in the air and at this spot, so are great food, drinks, and ambiance!…read more Celebrated love day with an amazing breakfast courtesy of Bluestone Lane. Now, I've ordered out tons of times but this was my first time sitting down to enjoy a meal. Well, sure glad that I did because service was beautiful. What a friendly staff! Drinks: this place knows how to do lattes right and the YSE Cinnamon Almond Latte was evident of that. Picture giving a huge hug to a loved one, that's the feeling that you get from every sip. This drink was nothing short of amazing and surprisingly, it wasn't too sweet. Then, to top things off they added a cute chocolate biscuit on the side to warm up your appetite. Highly recommend! After our meal, I wanted to try their Matcha Spritz because the warm weather outdoors made me crave a summer themed drink. This drink was it! I can definitely see myself drinking a few of these unapologetically. Food: My boyfriend and I ordered a few items. I ordered the Lemon Ricotta Pancakes and he ordered the Blueberry Pancakes. And to complete the meal, we ordered a side of scrambled eggs and bacon. Lemon Ricotta Pancakes: the flavors on these pancakes were mind blowing but even more special was the warm lemon custard on top and the creamy ricotta to follow. Everything about this dish screamed decadent! And how cute was it to have pieces of strawberry, blueberries, and edible flowers added on top. It brought even more life to a fulfilling dish. The same could also be said about my boyfriend's blueberry pancakes, which he would describe as amazing. But wait, there is more....the scrambled eggs were buttery smooth and scrambled soft. Ah! Heaven on a plate. Their bacon was also perfectly prepared, leaving no room to give this place less than 5 stars. Truly enjoyed dining here and would recommend it to my breakfast lovers. They also serve lunch and fun cocktails..what are you waiting for? Stop on by!
