Lot 38 espresso bar

I can't express how much I love and enjoy this place!!!! The service is good and friendly. The coffee is Incredibly Good 😊. I literally come here every day 4 or 5 days a week sometimes. I get a large Red Eye.

Best coffee and espresso drinks in Navy Yard. I work in DOT and we have a Starbucks in the same building, but I walk right by it to come to Lot 38. Caramel Macchiato half sweet is my fave. The bacon, egg, and cheese sandwiches are like 5 bucks and simple, but delicious, especially on an everything bagel. Bacon is actually crispy, not that rubbery stuff at other places. Run by super friendly people!

I started coming to this place during the pandemic. Like early 2020. Didn’t even realize they had been open more than 5 years as I didn’t really frequent navy yard until I got a job in the area. I love supporting small businesses. They have always stayed under market value which is hard for a small business to do. Their breakfast sandwiches are made fresh! Every time. Which you’re not going to get from any other coffee spot within a mile. Compass, Starbucks, Gregory. All microwaved.
Their coffee is soooo good! I have always been an illy fan. And to top it off, I’m the summer when I want an iced coffee. They have a dulce de Leche iced latte. Never seen anyone serve that flavor since living in Argentina Year’s ago.
Additionally. The owners know their regulars. I don’t come in enough for them to know me only when I’m wearing my red trainer sweatshirt do they recognize me as a trainer across the street but it doesn’t stop them from being nice to me. Order always comes out in less than 5 min no matter how busy they are. And at 9am on a week day they are BUSY. Still quick service. I’m like Max 8 min seriously. I’ve sat upstairs and worked. Lots of space. But not sure about their wifi. I see reviews saying they have it. If they offer it, it would be nice that they post the network and password. I used my Mifi I would come even more if I knew the wifi was strong still 5 stars tho. I don’t rate places on their ability to pay for me having free wifi everywhere I go that’s such a privilege

Good coffee. Kind of small ordering space with long wait time. Need more staff. Giving 4/5 though because of big upstairs sit down area. Loved that!

Vanilla latte is consistently great! The food is pretty good too. I'm a fan of the blueberry banana bread and the banh mi sandwich

This is a great place to grab lunch and go up to the second floor seating to relax/look out on the park. They use illy coffee which tastes great, and the sandwiches are made fresh to order.

I absolutely love this place. The staff is so helpful, friendly and kind. The coffee is seriously so delicious and the food is great too. I try to come here over all the other coffee spots around Navy Yard. I pretty much always get the caramel macchiato and it’s AMAZING! Every time I get it from other places it never compares. Highly recommend :)

Fantastic coffee and good food at reasonable prices. Great service too. I highly recommend and will be going back.

EDIT: I went back for a second time and the coffee is even better than the first time. It seems to be family owned, the man making drinks knows a lot of people’s names and is so friendly. They make an amazing white mocha latte that’s way better than Starbucks!!!

A Great little cafe with above and beyond customer service. This cafe is nice and offers a lot of seating, they have a whole second floor dedicated to seating. My chai was pretty good and again the service was fantastic. This establishment also has food and snacks.

Very nice cozy place. Good attitude & great customer service. First time there, definitely Going back .
