Marcela L.

Convenient spot to grab coffee when we got off the train. Got the NOLA Sweet iced. Different than other coffee spots but it was some good coffees and for $6.60 not bad at all. They offer pastries as well. They have two lines so it went quick. They have table seating also if you are waiting around for your next ride. The station is very nice.

Came here right after getting off the train. I wanted to get coffee while waiting for my Uber to my hotel .This place is conveniently located inside the Union station. This place is really clean and welcoming. The line was a little long, but the service was really fast. They also offer pastries that look really amazing as well. My coffee (NOLA Sweet) came out and if you ask me I was very pleased. We definitely recommend this place.

A drip coffee

A more fancy coffee shop at Union Station, DC. Decor is very nice and have a seating that are usually filled at office hours. Staff is nice. Got a regular drip at $6.87, pretty expensive and the coffee is nothing special. Yeah, better than Duncan Donuts but also quite a bit more. That's a nice pour over at a good city coffee shop. But if you are on company dime or you are the upper part of the K shape economy, then this would be ok.

Matcha & poppy seed loaf

When im cravin for Blue Bottle the closets to meet is Union station, the team is efficient when it comes to drink orders and there is seating area to study, wait for your train and spend time with friends. The ambiance is okay and the drinks/ food is good. I usually get the chai latte and matcha along side their pastries.

Caffè Latte

A small area shop with seating for customers. Located in the main hall area. It's quick and easy when not crowded. Friendly staff and I like the vibe. The coffee is good, I can taste the flavor. They took what is a concept did it right and I am happy. They also have a few baked goods to go with the coffee. As always give them a try see what you think. Let me know.

Matcha Latte - better tasting
John H.

Bonus points for putting design on coffee. Matcha latte had great taste but little disappointed with their fall latte that had no taste other than the frothed milk.

Vanilla Latte
Vitta P.

I felt like a princess- a whole swan on my coffee! The latte art was the best part. The employees were also super sweet. Quick service. It's in the middle of a station so a little busy but the atmosphere is great.

This store was closed for the logest time, and I was glad to see that they had already pre-owned because I needed to get some type of caffeine fix to prepare for my journey to New York. This cafe is set-up for take out and the service here is really fast. They have an electronic board with people's names to let you know if your drink is in process or if it's ready to be picked-up. There are no available seats but they do have these extended tables where people can stand. It was all good and I took a seat in the passenger waiting area. I got something different this time called the Iced Hazelnut Oat specialty drink. It was good but I probably didn't need to be so adventurous and a regular coffee or capuchino would have been better for me.

Coffee shop inside Union station Washington DC Took a winter single origin coffee. The coffee tasted nothing special and had to wait for a long time for a coffee. They should hire more experienced barista to be more efficient so that customers don't have to wait for a long time.

Iced nola LG
Jay L.

Got the large iced nola and an almond croissant. Very friendly service and super quick. Plenty of spots to sit and enjoy while you wait for your train. Wish they had some hot food but there are some other options for that inside.

Linnea E.

Convenient spot if you're waiting for a train at Union Station. Their iced chai with oatmilk (sidenote: the default here is oatmilk which is great for my lactose intolerant self) is good but a bit steep at $7 for a small 12oz. Service was quick and friendly though.

Salted Carmel brownie
Tammy J.C. D.

Good coffee & quick service. Salter Carmel brownie was so sweet and fudgy and the sea salt on top was perfect. Small seating area but great people watching here at Union Station.

Winter NOLA & Salted brownie pluma
Chris R.

Ordered through the app, took a little longer than expected but worth it. Coffee and cookie is great, unfortunately they didn't make any marks to differentiate the coffees and I had to ask for my cookie. Ambiance is beautiful because of the architecture in the train station

My favorite coffee shop in DC so far, by far…read more Dua DC is an Indonesian-coffee shop serving delicious coffee and amazing vibes -- the kind that remind you life is beautiful. They were playing bossa and jazz. I opted for the Aren latte and Indonesian beef rissole. Aren latte: 5/5 Latte with an in-house made 3/5 Aren (palm sugar from West Java) for that hint of molasses and dark brown sugar This was one of my favorite coffees I've had in a while. There was a delicious coffee taste not overshadowed but rather enhanced by the smoky sweet taste of the Aren. I'll be thinking about this latte for a while. Indonesian beef rissole: Batter-like skin rolled in breadcrumbs filled with savory ground halal beef & sautéed vegetables While I've never had this dish before, I googled pictures of what it should look like, and mine seemed to have significantly less meat than it should've. The taste was still delicious and seasoned and hearty, but it was mostly mush with some veggies and hardly any beef. While I thought the rissole was disappointing, I love the aren latte so much I'll still keep the 5 star review.

I would give it 0 stars if possible! I ordered "pandan" oat milk latte.

The positive reviews for this place are genuinely shocking. Friend also ordered a different drink that had no flavor. A better alternative is Childhood cafe, one block over, that is the same price but the drinks are extremely flavorful.

We were lucky enough to snag some goodies and got a bit of everything, we just weren't patient enough to wait to photograph everything. We did the Za'atar Gruyère Croissant, chocolate croissant, the cheese biscuit item they had (don't remember exact name) and the sfogliatelle. I'm in search of the best croissant in DC, so I regret not getting the regular croissant on this visit, but the chocolate croissant gave me an idea of what to expect. Buttery, flaky, crispy, with just the perfect amount of sweetness. The typical chocolate croissant was my personal favorite. When we asked what the most popular items were, we were surprised it wasn't the more classic bakery items, but we enjoyed what we tried. We want to go back soon to try some other items as well. My friend got a coffee and also enjoyed that! This is the perfect place to stop by for a treat if you make it in time!

They have both indoor and outdoor seating, so it's a great spot whether you're meeting friends or getting some work done. The pastry case also looked incredible, I had such a hard time choosing, and I'll definitely be back to try more. I ordered a matcha, and I really appreciated that it wasn't pre-sweetened. It was creamy, earthy, and let the matcha shine. If you like your matcha a little sweeter, I'd recommend adding their in-house pistachio syrup. The only small downside was that it seemed like they use matcha concentrate that's prepared in advance rather than whisking each drink fresh. It was still good, but I do prefer freshly whisked matcha. Even with that, I'd absolutely come back. Their menu is extensive, everything coming out of the kitchen looked delicious, and the whole space has such a welcoming vibe. Also, take a minute to read the story behind the name "Tatte." It's such a sweet story and made me appreciate this place even more.

Most recently went as a party of 4 and got the crab beignets, beef arepa, masa gnocci, and parillada for two. Crab beignets were our favorite - perfectly crispy and great flavor. Masa gnocci was a little overcooked this time but still yummy. Beef arepa is a classic dish to get at the royal; two people can easily share one arepa. Parillada was a hearty entree and probably best for 2-3 people. This amount of food altogether was just nice. We probably could have ordered one more thing to be extra full. I don't typically get Latin American food but love all the flavors at this restaurant. Next time will try their breakfast menu!

It had a beautiful chew with the classic burger toppings with an amazing pairing of their slaw with a garlicy aioli. The bun was very pillowy and soft with a nice crust. They also never lack on their specialty lattes. I got their carrot cake latte and it was just so fabulous. Extremely smooth espresso and perfectly steamed milk. Syrups made in house of course and you can tell. Just a perfect latte. I usually am an iced latte person but I recommend getting their lattes hot. Hits different.
