Vigilante Coffee

Good food and a great cup of coffee - both hot and iced lattes are great! Definitely on the crowded side, and a bit confusing for a first time visitor, but overall an interesting atmosphere. I stayed a while to enjoy a book, and while it is a bit on the louder side with roasting and music both going on, it's definitely a great atmosphere to be surrounded by other people working and studying.

Some reasons I love Vigilante coffee:

1)the vibes are correct. It is cute, there is Wi-Fi, the music is always good but not distracting, lots of natural light, and because they roast their own beans it smells amazing. If they let me, I would sign a lease and move in.
2) where else can you get a bagel AND an açaí bowl???

Sometimes things are a tad inconsistent (the amount of cream cheese on the bagel - not a big deal, but it would be nice to know what to expect), BUT IM STILL MOVING IN.

How do you spell delicious? I spell it A-C-A-I, just like this bowl. A must have if you’re looking for a wholesome, scrumptious breakfast. The coffee is roasted in-house and is also equally delicious!

Probably the best example of a DC (Hyattsville) coffee roaster we currently have. The quality of the beans is consistently good and Vigilante offers a nice variety, including some really high quality limited release stuff. The cafe itself is a great neighborhood spot in the historic downtown area, attracting lots of regular locals and occasional coffee pilgrim. When we went on a Sunday afternoon, a flock of cyclists were spread out all over the patio. The location is very spacious, in an old auto garage. The open concept allows you to see the roasting process, the baristas making drinks, the food prep station, and the eclectic customer seating areas. There is a lot to observe while enjoying your drink/food. Speaking of, the house espresso (Tin Lizzie) and Ethiopian pourover I had were excellent, very well extracted and flavorful, no unnatural bitterness or other anomalies. The product of a well-drilled team and quality-first approach to their coffees. I look forward to going back, highly recommended.

I was rushing back to the airport and was looking for a good coffee spot. Luckily I found Vigilante Coffee on Google maps. Everything else was either Starbucks or some other coffee spot that had poor reviews. It was nice to see a high quality coffee spot in a local neighborhood. It was a really nicely designed and decorated space. They're grinding coffee on the spot to be sold later. There was a really diverse crowd of customers and everyone had a really positive energy there. The staff was friendly and very efficient in getting things done. They had a variety of coffee products for sale. I had a pistachio flavored pastry along with a soy cappuccino. Both were delicious. The coffee had a nice chocolatey aroma to it without adding any extra flavors.

Their coffee is good. Love the aroma. The place is also nice and clean. An outdoor seating is nice. The atmosphere is every welcoming

Vigilante is my local coffee shop that I visit quite a bit. Although the college park location is closer to me, and very nice, I do prefer the ambiance and location of the Hyattsville location.

The coffees and foods are some of the best I've tasted at any coffee shop. I most often order a vanilla latte or cold brew and maybe a bagel with the chive cream cheese - which is just amazing. The lattes balance richness and bitterness perfectly. The bagels aren't cheap, but they're great for an occasional very tasty snack. I've had a croissant as well, which was very big and tasty, although I wished they had warmed it up. I've also had one of their acai bowls, which was very good. Overall the food is wonderful, but it is all quite expensive.

In terms of the ambiance, I really love the Hyattsvile location. It can be a little loud, but otherwise there is plenty of seating and I always enjoy going there to get some work done or relax. There is outdoor as well as indoor seating.

My favorite coffee place in town. Coffee is delicious and so fresh. Food is very good, mostly breakfast/snack type items. Love the outdoor seating when it's nice. Miss Charlie, who used to be a regular there.

Vigilante is a fun and stylish coffee shop with plenty of seating to spend a couple of hours in hanging out with friends or getting some work done.

It is a working coffee roaster so there's a bit of extra noise and activity. My go to is the drip coffee which has a distinctive sour (not bitter) note paired with a cream cheese bagel.

When the weather is warm enough you can also sit at the large tables outside.

This is the worse coffee shop I have ever visited. The Chai tea and pumpkin bread were terrible! The building is beautiful but the staff are not welcoming or professional! At 3:30 the card machine was not working, we had to pay cash and they did not have any bagels! If you want good coffee and baked goods don’t visit Vigilante!
