Sweet Science Coffee

Best coffee in DC. Their beans are fresh and varied, and they use different brewing methods that complement the flavor of their brands. The espresso drinks are also quality, with an attention to the consistency and feel of the foam. The iced coffee is the best I have had anywhere; it is a cold brew, free of the bitterness you find in many iced coffees. The owner has an unparalleled understanding of and passion for coffee. It's truly amazing. Definitely worth stopping by.

Great little shop, a great break from the chains. Staff are super friendly and welcoming. I had a muffin and latte and ended up being fantastic. We received the wrong beverage while we were here, but that’s the only down for us! Great stop, really recommend! They really do care for their craft!

The barista knew the product like the back of their hand and gave excellent recommendations. The atmosphere is excellent, idk what their playlist was but it was very well curated. I only got coffee today (it was super tasty) but the pastries looked so good I'll definitely be back

Not your typical coffee shop - a must-see for those who like quaint or things with a twist. Cool, hip coffee shop with nice, relaxing vibes. Lots of hot/cold options to choose from, some unheard and great combinations like the coffee with soda and lime. Nice place to meet friends, do work or read any of the wide selections of books they have on the shelves. You will definitely enjoy and stay for at least 1 hour.

Recently discovered this place while looking for independent coffee shops in my new-ish neighborhood and it was fantastic. Great customer service and both of us who went loved our coffees. Definitely will be back soon.

A really pleasant experience. Everyone who works here, and seemingly most of the people who drink coffee here, is very kind and thoughtful, and they make delicious coffee. Look for the iced latte and iced mocha for the best cool coffee this summer (and maybe all other times too).

I like this place. It's quiet! They have a lot of vegetarian house made desserts, and a lot of specialty coffee. It's a bit hard to find I wish the google maps pin was a bit more accurate. But overall I definitely will be back.

Quaint establishment with pretty flavorful coffee. Unfortunately, they don't provide WiFi on weekends to paying customers, hence the two stars. Barista said it was because they wanted to inspire an atmosphere for conversation. Unfortunately, no one was there, so it was frustrating not being able to use such a nice establishment as a place to get work completed. I get that this is becoming a trendy thing for DC coffee shops to do, but it makes it difficult to enjoy the experience. It's not getting in the way of the ambience right now, and I don't expect that it will, given location. Oh well -- fun place to check out! Was hopeful it'd become my local weekend coffee shop. Will stick to the neighborhood Starbucks on 18th and Columbia. Much better place for young professionals in need of a productive afternoon.

The place is really hard to find. I was staggering around in the cold for a few minutes before I realized it was in the basement of one of the buildings. Mocha cappuccino was delicious with an artfully constructed foam top. This place has WiFi so there are usually quite a few people working. Modern and comfy atmosphere.

Sweet Science is now called "La Pop" and it is very much open! This is one of my favorite places to work and meet with others. I have introduced several people to this location. The spicy hot chocolate with oatmilk is to die for, the coffee is great, the staff is pleasant and the service is fantastic.
