Lot 38 espresso bar

Lot 38 is easily the best coffee shop in DC. I’ve lived in DC for almost 2 years and have been to a ton of coffee shops including slipstream, tatte, Starbucks, blue bottle, compass, and a ton of others and while all of them are good nothing tops lot 38.

The coffee is made EXACTLY how you want it every single time, the food is incredible, and the best part about this place is the staff. They care so much about what you want and make sure to get it right every single time, and if something isn’t too your liking they’ll fix it for you right on the spot. (Even though mistakes are hardly ever made at this place).

There’s also a very cool little upstairs area where you can sit and work or just enjoy your breakfast/coffee. I absolutely love lot 38 and probably come to this place too much lol, but I HIGHLY recommend it to anyone.

That’s a fresh bagel right there! When I pulled it apart, it had the perfect amount of cheese 😆 The coffee seems to be espresso drink combos primarily, so the drink I got was an Iced Mocha I think. Pretty tasty 😋

Hidden gem of a coffee shop in Navy Yard! No frills from the outside, but best iced coffee around (not to mention, price). Very clean and great, friendly service :)

Coffee was yummy. At the time I visited there weren't a lot of baked goods in the case for a Saturday morning. It may have been because of the snow/sleet outside.

The breakfast sandwiches are tasty, filling, and perfectly portioned (not so big as to last three meals, but exactly right for a breakfast). McDonald's breakfast sandwiches dream of being these!! The environment is cozy, cute. Service is fast. Coffee is pretty good. Prices are affordable. All around, great staple.

Nice little shop that's actually quiet & the coffee is good! The seating is upstairs and I didn't see an elevator, but the music is not too loud and there is free WiFi. Has nice natural light with views of the park next door.

Every time I’m in here for the morning rush I’m amazed at how efficient this team is. I’ve never seen them get an order wrong. They forgot my drink one time and remembered it for weeks, always prioritizing me when I came in. They always remember my partner and I and the sandwiches and coffee are delicious (and well priced!)

The best coffee and breakfast sandwiches in the area. Illy coffee and friendly staff. I look forward to Lot 38 every time I'm in DC.

The most affordable bagel and coffee you're going to find in this area that actually tastes good!

Very disappointed. It was 37 degrees out, I called and asked if I could bring my dog. They said “sure”. When I got there there was a sign saying dogs were not allowed, so I asked and the answer I got was “yes you can site outside of you have a dog”. Are you serious? We’ll just so everyone knows, they are not pet friendly.
