Commonwealth Joe Coffee Roasters

Fast and friendly employees. Coffee is amazing! Stopped twice during my visit to DC as it was a short walk from the hotel.

Really good independent coffee place with friendly, knowledgeable staff and EXCELLENT coffee. First time visit during a business trip to DC and it won’t in by be the last. I always enjoy trying to find local, independent places, whether it be bookshops, restaurants or coffee shops and this is a little gem. I liked it so much I bought a t-shirt and some beans to take home to the UK. Strongly recommended.

My absolute to-go coffee shop in the neighborhood! I really like their coffee and bought their espresso blend for making coffee myself at home. The coffee was of reasonable price and high quality compared to a lot other coffee shops around DC. The indoor environment was also very clean and bright for hanging out and studying. Only downside might be that their chair is hard surfaced and can be not too comfy if you sit for a long time.

A cookie butter latte?! I’m in love. This place has a light, airy, calming feel—just like a modern coffee shop should.

The line was a little long, so I was surprised when the cashier was super patient and kind when helping me decide what to get as a first-timer. I really appreciated her taking the time.

Tried the honeybee and Strawberry bliss latte. So good! Great coffee and such a cute cafe.

Coffee was ok. I ordered a white mocha and I didn't think the workers were very friendly. I waited for about 20 min to get my drink and there were at least 4 or 5 people working but only 1 making crafted beverages. I'm a Starbucks person and to be honest I don't even think their coffee is the best. I like their culture and the environment. Not bad but definitely not a Starbucks.

These guys know and care about their coffee. There is a Starbucks around the corner but I enjoy coming in here for the experience! They also have more of a selection of beans! Photos as of Feb 2019

Great coffee, cozy shop! Love! Just lots of construction and so parking is bit crazy, otherwise great!

The lavender matcha is a killer. The almond croissant is also really good. Loved the friendly stuff, they are very helpful and make visitors like home.

One of my favorite places at Arlington, great atmosphere. I enjoy staying and studying there. One issue is that they close too early. I hope they could expand their working hours.
