The coffee is extremely sweet. Great if you like sweet coffee, but I could barely taste the coffee itself. Even though I asked for 50% sugar, it was still overwhelmingly sweet. When I stopped by, I noticed they were using a La Marzocco espresso machine. It's a shame they're not using it to its full potential. read more

DC is loaded with coffee shops. Many of them close by 5. We were headed for a different coffee shop but wanted to linger. So we chose this location (right by Metro Center). The seasonal drinks are fun. There is additional seating in the back of the coffee shop. If you want a pastry, visit earlier. There aren't many choices at 5pm. I noticed the National guard on this visit. read more

11/30/2025 - Sunday night and a wonderful person helped me. My first time here. If you enter the right hand side door there is a step to a lower level. Watch out! Take the door to the left to enter and exit. No step and go order. I ordered a 16 oz Latte. No issues. Very good and great service. Very clean and vibrant inside. They are open 7 days a week and open at 7am. They plan to open at 6am down the road. read more

Good coffee shop in the Metro Center area. I had an oat milk latte and my friend had a burrito. The food/coffee were good, though a little pricey. I'd rather go to Tatte for a better latte, but it's decent if you don't want to walk up there or want to avoid the crowd. Vibe is good, love the decor. Overlooks the metro, so not a great view but that's not their fault. Service was prompt. read more

I was walking around downtown and found this place. It was close to the metro and the service was impeccable. The name of their matcha latte is called disco and the server even made a funny joke about it dancing (which worked well as a dancer myself). It's only named Disco but is their regular matcha. I got mine with oat milk and hot and I'd go back. It is a smaller location so not much seating -- keep that in mind. read more

It was supposed to feature steak, which it barely had any of. It also boasted of egg, cheese, horseradish, and bacon jam. It had more bacon crumbles than it did steak.

The Coffee Republic has great energy and is welcoming. This is a great spot to pregame your carination before entering the metro or meet someone who is disembarking. They sell the best versions of mocha and what they sell called 'Disco Coffee' its a bit high in price but I do not mind as it was good but could be bigger in portion when being packaged. The baristas were so good at what they do and happy and patient to explain what drink combinations to order. read more

This coffee shop is right next to the Metro Center transit entrance so it's very convenient if you need coffee right when you hop off the metro. There's a few seats in coffee shop if you want to dine in. For drinks, I ordered the pumpkin spice latte and my friend ordered another specialty latte. I liked the vibe of the coffee shop and the staff were very nice so I really wanted to like this place, but both drinks were bad. I took a few sips and immediately wanted to toss the drink...it tasted like watered down, slightly spiced milk. My friend's drink wasn't any better, it tasted like steamed milk. Based on the coffee I'd give it 2.5 stars. I also tried the fruity cereal macaron which was wonderful, I'd purchase a box of that in a heartbeat. Skip the pink lemonade macaron it's not worth it. read more

I visited DC for the first time the other day and had a very hard time finding a good coffee shop. I stumbled upon this place and it looked super cute and was reasonably busy so I thought it had to be good. The workers were so incredibly nice. The coffee however after I paid $9.60, was not nice. First of all I was so distraught about how much it cost because I checked the menu and didn't think it would be that much. Then the actual coffee itself was not great. read more

Although it is on the pricey side, so it will have to be an occasional treat for me. I had the Aztec Latte, which is made with chocolate and jalapeno peppers. As for food, I had the turkey sausage breakfast sandwich with egg and cheese. I will definitely be back again! I love a good coffee shop and this is definitely one of them.

Lots of specialty coffees and teas and I enjoyed that the iced tea had a choice of five different loose teas they brew for you; however, two of my friends ordered the strawberry matcha latte and both got the strawberry fields chai instead. When they came out they weren't even slightly green so they asked a worker if these were correct and he confirmed they were matcha. After taking a sip it was clear they were chai instead of matcha. Luckily, another worker remade the drinks for them and all was well, but it was weird that a worker confirmed they were the strawberry matcha latte when the initial drink they were given was chai. read more

We stopped by to get coffee and a snack. Conveniently right off of metro center station. It's clean on the inside and filled with modern decor. Service was good. The barista and cashier got our food and coffees made. We got there at the tail end of a rush. They have some fun/interesting fall coffees. We tried the "fall in a cup" and "smokey s'mores" also shared a spinach and feta pastry. The spinach and feta a pastry was good, we got it heated. The fall in a cup coffee was good. I got it with oat milk and it was not overly sweet and had notes of cinnamon and other spices. The Smokey s'mores was not bad. There were chocolate and marshmallow flavors, I just wish there was a toastiness that I think of when I think of "s'mores". Overall it's good just a little expensive for coffee and pastries. The coffee was for 16oz and ran about $7/8, and milk substitute was $1.20. read more

Interesting and different selection of coffee other than your typical fare from the big chains. Of course if you want to have something safe, they have that too. I had the snickerdoodle latte and I wouldn't have expected to taste like anything else other than a snickerdoodle. Limited selection of pastries, but that's okay. A lot of colors and neon as soon as you step in, too. Highly recommend to stop by and try something different. Friendly service to top it off. Give it a try! read more

The tiger boba my brother got was also very good!

It's nice to see things in Chinatown that are actually Chinese. This place offers online ordering,…read moreand I arrived to find it a pure takeout with no cafe to sit in. This was fine on a nice evening, but left me wondering why their online ordering system defaulted to a fairly generous tip from a price that wasn't low to start. They had some interesting menu options and I appreciated the light flavor of the grass jelly in the tea I got, but the actual tea flavor wasn't that strong.

Happy Holidays!

My friend and I stopped in here after hours of exploring Cherry Blossoms and Bloomaroo at the Wharf…read more- it was late afternoon on a very busy Saturday. We hoped to find a place that offered decaf coffee since it was late in the day, but really wanted something warm since it was a bit chilly outside. Unfortunately, this location of Toastique does not offer decaf - they only have a single hopper for their coffee, so it is not an offering. We were going to find another place, however, they said how about a hot chocolate or a tea. My friend is vegan and inquired if their hot cocoa was vegan, as most places have dairy in the chocolate. The cashier went to look at the chocolate syrup and also had another person look at it to verify it's vegan. My friend ordered a hot chocolate with oat milk. Even though it was busy, we only waited about 5 minutes for her drink. We appreciated the effort to double check it was vegan, though I do wish they had decaf options.

Toastique is a small spot with a clear focus on pricey, health-forward food.

The bread was too chewy, which made it difficult to bite off because there was no proper angle of attack since the toast was large. With that many toppings, it really should have been pre-cut, especially for a takeout order. I could not even cut it properly with the plastic knife they gave. Flavor-wise, it was fine but underwhelming. The salmon was good, and everything seemed fresh, but the overall balance felt off. The cucumbers were plain, and the toast leaned dry, like it needed more sauce or spread to bring it together. For $18, it felt like a ratios problem more than a quality problem. Overall, it is not bad, but I left a little underwhelmed given the price.
