Inside the trains station. I was happy to see that they have an area where you can seat and finish your coffee without rush. I was surprised that the staff was very nice regardless of some rude costumers. The coffee was really good, and it was cheap compared to nearby coffee shops neaby. 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

This is right under the in between before the hall in Union Station. The service workers were very pleasant. Not an overly extensive menu which is not a bad thing. You order on one side and pick up on another. The seats are in the hall area. The matcha latte was relatively good. 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

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

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.

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

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. 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 trip into Blue Bottle Cafe. While their were many options to chose I couldn't. I asked my Enthusiastic and charming Barista Miles to make a selection for me. I walked away with a delicious cappuccino with a shot of expresso . THANK YOU MILES HOPE TO SEE YOU ON MY RETURN TRIP YOUR CUSTOMER-Moore. 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. My latte temperature turned out lukewarm, and I was displeased with the overall experience from my most recent visit. read more

- 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

Good coffee. Nice small seating area. Nice folks working there . I got a coupon for $ off my next order

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

$8 latte, very average quality coffee. but it's either this or Starbucks if you're at union station

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

A large Matcha Latte is $10 it is alright nothing special for the price. Took 12 mins to get . Almost missed my train. Can't say the staff was over friendly and zero sense of urgency to be in a Train Station. I probably would not stop by here again before a train for the price and wait time it really isn't worth it. read more

Excellent coffee (iced or hot) and I'm always pleasantly surprised to find a seat and cafe table available. They are a commodity! If you're headed to one of the Senate office buildings, this is a decent place to grab a coffee and snack before or after meetings and get some work done since Blue Bottle provides its own WiFi. I wouldn't recommend trying to make a phone call though since the high ceilings of the station echo every noise and it's always loud. If you are afraid of birds, you won't appreciate the resident sparrows that swoop around the ceiling and sometimes investigate around the tables. They won't directly bother you, but I know the idea of birds freaks out some people. Still, it's a great place for a small meetup and conversation with a colleague or peer. read more

Blue Bottle Coffee at Union Station is a waiting area with mediocre coffee and small selection of pastries. They have a seating area in the large, central entrance to Union. I recommend the manager teach their baristas how to properly steam milk. Not only are they adding too much air to the upper layer, but they are pouring lattes instead of cappuccinos. The beans seemed dialed in, so that's a positive! read more
