Loved this little spot when in DC but they forgot to put my smoke salmon on the sandwich 🤦🏾‍♀️

Such a pleasant find. Great vibe to get some work done, while enjoying a delicious pastry. Highly recommend the cafe con leche with your cup of coffee.

Everything -- food, service, atmosphere -- is wonderful IF you can afford it. Could use more seating, but hey, what DC cafe couldn't?

Very nice coffee shop with friendly and efficient barista. Seating in side is relaxed and comfortablr, there is some out door seating as well on wooden tables. . We enjoyed a brownie and a banana bread on the patio one breezy morning and warmed up with a cup of coffee. Will be returning for some of the sandwiches on the menu soon.

I live right next to Rue and grab coffee there at least once a week. The coffee and service are consistently impeccable. The vibes are great with tons of sunlight and a little outdoor patio area. Highly recommend if you need a delicious jolt of caffeine to start your day.

Very much a laptop cafe. People are super friendly and so are their dogs. Hot chocolate isn’t vegan but their mocha syrup is so you can get something similar to hot chocolate.

contender for cutest coffee shop in the area, great coffee and warm baristas. More syrup flavors than just the typical vanilla or caramel at most places, but Rue also has rose, lavender, etc. and adorable accompanying seasonal drinks. Variety of french pastries and all the ones i’ve tried are excellent—especially the macarons, citrus olive oil cake and madeleines. Personally I’ve never had anything from the “real food” menu here but if it’s anything like the coffee + pastries, it’s great.

Great for chatting with friends or working remotely. More tables to seat one would hold more people but it's nice to have larger tables for groups at lunch. Food/Drink quality for price: decent cappuccino, not the best I've had in DC. Atmosphere: calm and relaxed. Good for working! Noise level: not bad at all, I enjoyed the playlist Lighting: natural light in front, kinda bright near counter Staff: friendly! Cleanliness: very clean Bathroom (men's): Seating: smaller, cozy feel means few tables inside. They are in high demand so get there early if you want one. Outlets: 3 by the front, not sure about back of shop Bike parking: on sidewalk

I've had coffee twice there and it's really nice. Unfortunately some of their pastries are not fresh. I just bought some chocolate pastry and it wasn't quite what I expected.

This was a cute and chill cafe. I went in and was immediately taken care of by the awesome barista named Beth. She had excellent service and was really kind. I’ve had chai lattes at many cafes but the one here was stunning! Floral and perfectly sweet. I ordered the veggie bagel and it was satisfying. 10/10. Stay awesome guys!!!

I believe—No one can understand the true test of coffee until he / she drinks coffee from this place. ( the owner officially discloses, his coffee comes from the original place of coffee where coffee was found). ———Rue - coffee Control my Cravings and Boost my Brain Function With Super Amazing Thinking Capacity. ———-If you are Amazed how the world begins to change through the eyes of a cup of coffee - just test the coffee from Rue—cafe.

Small cafe with inside and outside seating as well as wifi. Chai latte was VERY good. Olive oil and citrus cake was also tasty. Highly recommend this neighborhood cafe!
