Rappahannock Coffee

A great, quiet place to have lunch. Has a very homey feel and the owners are always very friendly. I like the Texas Central without cheese, the prefect sandwich (if you like horseradish).

A staple on Columbia Pike! Best smoothies I have ever had. So much so that we do not live in the area anymore and we still come a few times a month to get them! Also love their Sienna Chicken Panini. Great spot!

Coffee is really bad, tastes burned, clearly over extracted. Got a medium roast Columbian, can’t taste any notes and has bitterness. I am a coffee geek, I try to go to places where I’d find freshly roasted coffee and love trying new ones. Very disappointed.

The food is fine though.

Walked in to classical music. That right there sets a great tone.

I got one of their Panini sandwiches, which also came with some chips, and a great caramel latte. At $15 it wasn't cheap, but good stuff never is. The only complaint is that it's a bit too warm in there. Need to lower the temperature a bit.

The gentleman owner was a delight to order from.

Overall, a great way to support local.

I live their coffee, i know this place for like 17 years and their coffee is always fresh and so good , if you love flavored coffee most of the coffee shops making too sweet but theirs is very well balanced so you can enjoy. Inside is very old maybe need some little restoration but we loved the roaster on the back room. Thank you

5 stars in 2019, still 5 stars in 2023. If you're looking for a quiet lunch spot or a locally-owned neighborhood coffee shop, this is the place. Great coffee, great prices, and great customer service.

The man at the counter, perhaps the owner, is so chill and kind. Doesn’t just take your order but makes sure it’s done right and let’s you know the options. A nice place to come chill or chat or meet up, with both inside and outside options for seating. I didn’t see any food items that were gluten free but there are smoothies and an array of coffee items. I definitely recommend, especially as a catch-up place!

I really wanted to like this coffee shop. It’s got a cool name and a very European, hole-in-the wall feel… unfortunately the coffee is bad. Like really really bad. No clue where they get it but it is undrinkable.

Out of all the cafes I've been to on my weekend trip to DC this one is by far my favorite. Its cozy and down to earth. The Tiramisu is lovely and the hot chocolate is wonderful, nothing like the watered down kind at Starbucks. Its rich and creamy. 5/5 I highly recommend coming here rather then starbucks (across the street)

Casual and always friendly. I love their fresh roasted beans and the convenience of calling my order in and having it ready when I’m on the run!
