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.

Nagadi Coffee Roastery was on my Google Maps list for so long that I've forgotten about it until my…read morefriend sent me an Instagram Reels video about Nagadi that went viral in the DMV area. I saw the video and knew it was going to have phenomenal pour overs and espresso drinks. Since the cafe only opens on Saturdays from 8-1, I knew I had to make an effort to stop by despite the 30+ minute drive. Unfortunately, many other people had the same exact idea as me, and the staff was definitely overwhelmed by the popularity. There was a long wait for espresso drinks (at least 30 minutes). All bags of beans were sold out (I'd recommend ordering online and picking up or getting it delivered in the future). POUR OVER / DRIP - 5.35 By the time I ordered, they were out of most pour over options so I tried the Costa Rica Cumbres del Poas since I wanted a fruitier coffee. Fortunately, the wait for pour overs was pretty short, about 10 minutes. The flavors were fruity, but not overwhelmingly so, with a lighter mouthfeel. The pour over was a bit more diluted than I'm used to, but I still enjoyed it greatly. CORTADO - 4 After a 45 minute wait, I finally got my cortado. This has got to be one of the best cortados I've had in the DMV. The espresso was bright and fruity and paired well with the steamed whole milk. It was definitely worth the wait! If Nagadi was closer, I can see myself going 1-2x a month. I'd highly recommend this coffee roaster to any coffee snob looking for high quality coffee in the area.

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!

I've never not been greeted, and the entire staff is happy to assist you with anything (like an extra pump of syrup if you think your drink isn't sweet enough). Discovered them in late 2025, and they've turned into a weekly staple for me!

So awesome and intimate and it's most importantly a small business, so no matter what you need to go. Took a pit stop on the way north and this is the perfect spot to get ready for more driving not because of the coffee (even tho it's supreme), but the people. You want syrups made in house? You got it. You want amazing coffee? You got it. You want an amazing experience with people who actually care if you're getting what you exactly want. You better beleive.......you got it. (Ugh that's a song right?) You need more evidence? The owner was there in the trenches with a smile on her face working hard everyone was happy. Highly recommend

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 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.
