Contender for my favorite coffee shop in DC. Delicious baked goods, nice seating area, and nice music. Also they sell coffee beans and materials!

If there was a 0 star option, I would have selected it. Do not be fooled into thinking that this *is a specialty coffee shop just because they use a Slayer machine (beautiful *may I add) or because they sell home brewing equipment. The espresso was bland and left a bitter aftertaste, probably from being over over extracted. Furthermore, the barister was very unfriendly and quite rude. They have a lot to learn about both customer service and the 3rd wave coffee scene. You're better off going to Starbucks - at least there you get free WiFi!

One of the best coffee shops and roasters in the area. Great coffee with with reasonable prices. They also have a great variety in their beans. Strongly recommended.

Well.... we just just Blake and she is a Rockstar who took our order for a delicious latte and orange cranberry muffin. Best part was her friendly and efficient mannerism. Thank you for offering extra information about DC and the delicious coffee!

The baristas are always kind and helpful; the coffee and pastries are always excellent, and the vibe is friendly, kind, and chill – exactly what you want for a locally owned coffee shop. And I think they have some of the best cold brew around. Cheers to you, Qualia!

Super clean and warm interior design. Open color pattern that invites you for some work. Coffee was okay.

Sadly, the customer service at this location fails in comparison to their shop on Georgia Ave. I visited this location twice. The first time, the experience was great. The barista was friendly and inviting, and even made sure my order was completed to perfection. The second time, however, a different barista did even take the time to acknowledge I was in the store, even though I was the only person in the shop at the time. I felt like I was inconveniencing the barista by ordering something. Not sure there will be a third visit.

The lattes here are out of this world delicious, and are the best that DC has to offer (from my experience). Get yourself a latte and a cheddar chive biscuit and you are all set to have a fantastic day.

I had a 12oz. Cup of their Brazilian Coffee and it had me wanting to get out at the nearest red light and run the rest of the way to my job. This coffee is some of the best, and if not the best that I have had in a very long time. And the staff is very kind.

First things first. Get the vegan banana oatmeal chocolate chip cookie, before anything else just get that. If you do that there is a 100% chance you're not disappointed in your visit. I had the chai latte it was pretty good. I also had a cranberry orange muffin that was also pretty good. The staff was cool and the drinks were made rather quickly. I'd say this is a low-key coffee shop that's pretty unique.

Live around the corner. Usually walk the extra 10 minutes to another coffee place because every time I stop here the service is laughably bad. Order online and you’ll walk in 10 minutes later to an empty shop and the barista will say “looks like you’re order will be ready in 8 minutes”. I’ve even watched as the barista sits on their phone like I’m not even there. We are counting the minutes until Union Kitchen opens next door.
