Updating for 2026: Still my top coffeeshop and roaster in the area! I really look forward to having…read moremy oat cappuccinos each Saturday that I can make it over there and trying whatever the crew has on espresso that day. My favorite bean from the holiday season was the Cerro Dragon GEISHA - not only absolutely delicious but a great and wonderfully affordable--accessible--gift. It's always a delight to get to sit down and enjoy the cup and company no matter how crazy their rushes get.

Unfortunately, my experience at this coffee shop was disappointing due to poor customer service…read more When placing my order, I asked a simple question about how their macchiato is prepared. Different coffee shops make macchiatos differently. some use mostly steamed milk while others use mostly foam. Instead of explaining how their version is made, the employee responded with, "What do you mean? It's a macchiato," which came across as dismissive and unhelpful. There was also confusion with my order because I was never asked whether it was for here or to go. Part of the order was prepared in a to-go cup while another part was prepared for dine in. When I politely asked if everything could be put into a to-go cup, the employee replied, "Can't you just chug it?" and appeared visibly annoyed by the request. What concerned me most was how the drink was handled afterward. The employee took the cup, held the lid in the area where customers place their mouths, carried it to the back, and returned with the coffee transferred into the cup. Watching someone repeatedly handle the drinking surface with bare hands was not something I expected from a food service establishment. Mistakes happen, but the combination of dismissive responses, poor communication, an unprofessional attitude, and questionable drink handling practices left a negative impression. I hope management addresses these issues, as customer service and basic hygiene should be priorities at any coffee shop.

Lovely spot for a quick bite and a coffee before heading off to see the sights!…read more Zeke's is in the heart of downtown, so it's just a short walk to the White House / Washington Monument / Reflecting Pool and so many other sites. I had a maple latte and this was so delicious. A bit sweeter than I'd have wanted, but still definitely hit the spot. The pastries were also top tier and we had some realty tasty croissants and muffins. There's a good amount of seating inside and out. A quick review for a quick and pleasant experience!

Who doesn't want a rich, aromatic, satisfying cup of coffee in the morning? I certainly do and…read moreInnerloop Coffee Roasters fills that need. I am a big fan of the Burundi coffee that infuses brown sugar, Earl Grey, and star of anise flavors into this cup of morning coffee. Don't forget to order their biscotti cookies, they are so delicious, especially when dunked in your coffee or tea. They have a really cute gold spoon to help measure your coffee and it double tasks as a clip to hold your coffee bag closed. If you are looking for a deep and flavorful cup of coffee, then order now. The coffee is shipped to you quickly and efficiently! Great coffee and a wonderful locally owned business.

They currently are roasting a single-origin bean from Burundi that has tasting notes of cinnamon powder, clove and dried stone fruit. It's smell is intoxicating and the resulting drink is smooth and flavorful. It also makes the best iced coffee I've ever had. They roast every Wednesday and Sunday and make free local deliveries. Thank you so much for making my mornings (and let's be honest...afternoons...and some late nights) brighter!

How thrilled I am that Neighbors is here, filling a huge unmet need of quality specialty coffee! I…read morelook forward to my weekend Neighbors trips, where I get my iced latte or flat white and dream about the next time I can make my way over again. The service is quick despite the cafe always being poppin. There are tables but I imagine it's not too fun to sit inside on weekend mornings when the lines are long. But plenty of picnic tables outside the store! They also have tasty speciality coffee/tea drinks and small batch beans roasted on site!! Why Neighbors is the one and only within a 10 mile radius of me is beyond me but thank you, Neighbors!

Best coffee shop in the area by far, not only because they care deeply about the craft of coffee…read morebut because they care deeply about their customers, the neighborhood, and community. Neighbors was such a welcome addition to our Woodley Gardens community. We were in need of a locally owned and operated coffee shop in this area and got SO much more when Lulu & Spencer opened Neighbors. From the seasonally curated drinks list to the carefully sourced and brewed beans, everything they do is thoughtful. That extends to their hospitable atmosphere - every barista has tried to learn/remember my name (and I'm trying to learn everyone's as well!). It sounds small but this is what builds community over time - that caring attitude is felt and appreciated by all of us who frequent Neighbors. They also host a monthly book club AND run club, giving those of us in the area another reason to meet up, connect, and be together. It's what we need now more than ever. I feel so lucky to have a place like Neighbors nearby! It's located right across from the park and is often frequented by families with children, friend groups, and more! Lots of seating outside, shared with Z&Z and Carmen's.

It's very easy to order coffee from the website, and my coffee was at my door the next morning!…read more There's a small delivery charge, but to me, it's worth it. Why is it worth it? The majority of their coffees are organic, and small-batch roasted. They're sold as actual pounds 16 oz, rather than 12 oz at the grocery store. I've been enjoying their coffee since 2016. My favorite so far is Rock Creek Reserve, which I purchased at the Olney Farmers Market (recommended by the seller after discussing what I like and don't like). It's indescribably good, so smooth, and full-bodied. Next on my list is Charm City Blend, which I wanted to try solely on the name, since I was born and raised in Baltimore. Right now, I'm really enjoying Royal Blue Blend and it's so delicious and aromatic. Next will be Bird City Blend for obvious reasons. I've never been disappointed!

As a barista myself..... Why is it so expensive yet poor quality?…read more Got a cortado there and it's more like a macchiato - very foamy, steamed way too hot, espresso not dialed (or did not redial) so very bitter. The staff was chatting before a manager/ other staff noticed me to tell the register staff to ring me in... And they had the espresso prepared in the portafilter already before I order. So they did not ground the coffee fresh once order... Makes sense it's bitter. It's so low quality I'm in shock they get to charge it so much for a tiny cortado. Never coming here again even the cafe seems nice and many people work there. It's more a place to work/chill over actually about the coffee.

I appreciated how they distinguished between different origins and roasts. Knowledgeable staff and good service. Clean and close to silver spring metro. I'm happy I stopped by here on a whim. I did add the shelf stable half and half provided after a few sips of the black coffee, out of habit, but I've never had a good experience with the little plastic containers of half and half. I think it made the coffee taste worse than having it black and I usually have a better experience with refrigerated half and half. I'll keep that in mind next time I'm here

Great experience, super friendly, quick service…read more Ordered a vanilla oat latte and it is so yummy. The flavor and creamy texture was exactly what I was looking for. Also, the temperature was perfect for sipping when it came out. I didn't have to worry about burning my tongue with a piping hot drink. Aloved that I could just enjoy it right away. What more could I ask for?! Love how spacious this cafe is, lots of areas to hang out, chat, or work. Lots of pastries, coffees, and cups to buy and take home!

I love how there's no extra charge for alternative milks. I got the hot almond butter latte with oat milk and a chicken sausage breakfast sandwich. The latte was super smooth, rich and the perfect drink for a chilly morning. I loved the combo of almond butter with espresso and it was just lightly sweet which was perfect for me. The sandwich was also quite good, with juicy sausage, soft egg, and lightly toasted sandwich bread. While it wasn't my first choice since the egg bites they had weren't thawed out yet, it was a very good alternative. I'd get both the latte and sandwich again. Service was friendly and it did take a little longer than expected for our drinks but that was due to a large order that was placed before ours.
