We headed to Union Station to catch the train, and Blue Bottle was located conveniently near the drop-off entrance. Fortunately, the line to order wasn't too bad at 7:30 AM, and my drink came out shortly after. I got a 12 oz iced latte for $6.75, which is pricy, but not unexpected for Blue Bottle, unfortunately. The latte was on the milkier side, but I could at least taste the espresso. Blue Bottle isn't my favorite, but I'd take it over Starbucks, which wasn't too far away from this stall. read more

Delightful cappuccino, very frothy non fat milk. Lots of varieties to order from as well as some light pastries. Blueberry and citrus scone was a good texture and not too crunchy either. About 12 tables indoors for seating. Not busy on a weekday. read more

Stopped in here for the first time as we arrived by Metro into DC for a days worth of sightseeing. We needed some breakfast and coffee so we tried out this cute little spot. We ended up only ordering coffees, since they didn't serve bagels. The coffee was fantastic and I love when they take the time and care to add a beautiful foam design on top. I didn't catch the employee's name who was taking our order but he was absolutely fantastic and friendly! It was a great way to welcome us into the city. read more

For quality coffee at Union Station, go to Blue Bottle Coffee in the Great Hall before you head to the trains. You order on one side and wait for your coffee on the other. Born in California, Blue Bottle's menu is large with all the coffee products. I enjoy their Sweet Latte, which isn't too sweet. The one thing to note is that service isn't friendly. The staff member behind the cashier when I often go is very cold, but can you blame them? We're living in tough times. read more

Very small alcove which is likey a good use of space. Came at an hour not busy. Was told it would be at least 5 minutes for my order which was a latte. Ordered the larger of the 2 options- $8. The good: the coffee is high quality. I'm a fan. The drink was a bit of a joke. Three gulps and gone. I told the guy when I picked it up"wow, this is light!" Yes, I know the percentages (roughly) of espresso/ steamed milk/ foam). This was all foam. And I think only one shot of espresso, not two. Still - the flavor of the bean is a win. Love how smooth Blu Bottle always is. But come on! $8 for this? I'm insulted. read more

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. read more

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. read more

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. read more

This was my first time having Blue Bottle and I continue to ask myself ... why? Why have I waited so long? I am not a coffee drinker but love hot chocolate and this was some of the best, if not the best hot chocolate I have ever had. I think about it several times a week, haha! And now I am so sad that we don't have a Blue Bottle in my city. Sigh. I guess I will just have to ensure I get it whenever I'm back in DC or in Chicago now. Also, the service was nice, and I was lucky that I visited later in the day so I got a seat. It's kind of noisy being in Union Station, but it wasn't incredibly busy. read more

I couldn't believe I paid over $12 for a "large" matcha with sweet blossom (almond milk, iced). It was very tasty though, and I got to enjoy the nice architecture of Union Station in the seating area. read more

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. read more

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. read more

This was my first time at Blue Bottle Coffee. I decided to try it before getting on my train. I got the winter latte. It was a little light for my taste so I maybe should've gotten an extra shot of espresso. I didn't taste much of the winter flavors other than the pink peppercorn sprinkled on top which I did like a lot. Overall it took a little longer than expected for 1 drink as well, but I'd try blue bottle again if I ever cross it's path. read more

I've been to Blue Bottle a few times after arriving at or before departing from Union Station, including this morning. The service is great and fast, and the coffees are very good (this morning, I had an iced americano with a splash of oat milk - the perfect coffee for a humid day). I appreciate that the train station have a non-Starbucks option (nice to have options!). And this Blue Bottle location is convenient, fast, and delicious. Also a beautiful location, conveniently located in the main lobby of the station. read more

Their coffee tastes pretty decent. However, customer service is not the best at this location. I'm not speaking for all the staff members, but the employees I've encountered weren't friendly.

- Hot nola drink - delicious!! Very nice creamy and foamy top. Slightly nutty, roast-y, and not too sweet at all. - Rosemary sweet potato danish - okay, just not for me though. - Caramelized onion Za'atar scone - delicious and savory; texture was perfect. Gotta love how Blue Bottle automatically includes oat milk (without a surcharge--or maybe it's included in the cost, but the prices at least are still not as high as other places that charge for oat milk substitute...). read more

I was glad to see a Blue Bottle Coffee stand at Union Station, as it was a good option to get some caffeine before the trip. Located in the main concourse/entrance area, I had the Winter Spice Nola, which was BBC's New Orleans-style coffee an accent of star anise. You can opt to have this cold or hot, which I went for the latter. The drink was a bit watered down, and even though I did request mine to be extra hot, it was still just warm. Staff were super friendly and welcoming. Be sure to pick up a button, when available, to show your support of this coffee chain. +watered down coffees +friendly service +located by the main entrance area at Union Station read more

So surprisingly satisfied with this Blue Bottle location. Being in Union Station, everything has the potential to either go really bad or really well, especially considering how much time you have to get your coffee. The staff here were so incredibly friendly and efficient - the line was long, but they kept it moving, and they were super on-top of making everyone's drinks. We were stopping here before catching on train, but we had no worry about making our train on time. As always, such a great mocha - perfect for the travel day ahead of us. A great stop for your caffeine fix while at Union Station. read more

Located in the Union Station, it's a better alternative to Starbucks. The coffee here isn't the greatest yet I still preferred doing this option over Starbucks. The black cardemom latte was my go to when I was here. Decent flavor but the textures were a bit off. Also price wise, it's not cheap these days based on the current economics. Pastries are served here as well plus they do several pour-over coffee beverages for those who like those. Most reviews I read raved about those so maybe that should've been my first option. It's a small station set up on the second floor when you enter the main entrance so it's hard to miss. read more

Hot Nola (sweet, chicory-infused coffee with steamed milk) - it was delicate taste for coffee, however it had creamy flavor, and a hint of sweetness. Ordered with oat milk, and the best part about this, they don't charge extra for oat milk! Hit the spot for the travel! Rosemary potato danish - great flaky with butter filled with rosemary, potato slices and sautéed onion underneath. Overall it was delicious in the morning! Caramelized onion Za'atar scone - great bite but it was a little dry. Good choice for savory fix tho. The cashier and baristas were friendly and interactive with reasonable accommodations. Love that. read more
