Swing's Coffee

Great coffee, fast WiFi, and friendly staff! The other customers really embrace the community feel of this coffee shop. I don’t live in the neighborhood, but this place makes me wish I did!

Swings coffee is very good. The atmosphere and tables create comfort.
Disappointed no money was spent to purchase a small toaster oven or microwave to heat the baked goodies that are purchased to go with coffee.

Nice selection of pre-packaged coffee and variety of drip, pour-over, specialty coffee and tea options.

Best cafe in Alexandria area!

Great selection of coffee beans and they're happy to grind them for you too! I've also like the drip coffee I've ordered from them

Great coffee place! I ordered a Mocha and it was yummy!
My friend said this place is new to her and we both love coffee so made our way.
Totally worth it!
Thank you guys!

At first glance Swings is a very cool, local coffee shop with a great location of being close to two dog parks. Because of this reason I’ve been to Swings a lot over the past few months and every time there’s something lacking. Either the lattes are way overpriced for what you get or the drip coffee is too weak or it just takes forever.
The final straw for me was this morning.
I order online and then head to swings to pick up two lattes. Pick up time was listed as 10 min after my order time. I get there right when it said they would be ready and they were not ready. Which was weird because there were five people working.
10 min later, after seeing many people come in, order, and then leave I check out the order times on the coffees at the bar. All of them had been ordered after me.
I ask where my order is and they at first aren’t sure and then say “oh it’s next up.”
SURE IT WAS.
5 min later I get my lattes (25 min after ordered) and there was no apology for obviously forgetting my order and to top it off the lattes were $7 each and just tasted like hot milk.
I will not be going back, no matter how convenient it has been.

The best consistent coffee! Even if it was not perfect, they would remake it for you happily!

Update

I was given a wrong beans based on a staff’s recommendation that later on immediately I don’t like. Yet, i was not given a chance for exchange or even refund! Very Disappointed!

Delicious coffee, great atmosphere, and the employees were helpful and made drinks fast!

They roast their own coffee-and actually do a great job! Very flavorful coffee and not burnt. I got a Zimbabwe AAA pour over and it was delicious. They also have wifi and power plugs.
