Fair prices for Dupont, friendly staff, clean and convenient space. The pastries are pretty good, and so is the coffee. This place is reliable for a quick bite. read more

Nice Cafe W/Sweet Treats! I recently visited this cafe. Upon entering I realized this is the former Firehook Bakery-rebranded. Literally just down the street from Dupont Circle Metro Station. Some nice outdoor seating. Inside a few high top tables/stools in cafe & along the window. I arrived late afternoon. The display cases showcasing beautifully decorated sweet treats. Cookies, Bars, Brownies, Blondies & Pastries. I purchased a large thin Chocolate Chip Cookie, Caramel Bar & Blondie. Yes they look delightful. The Chocolate Chip Cookie tender, crispy w/rich chocolate flavor, the Caramel Bar sweet, gooey caramel & the Blondie rich chocolate flavor & tender pecans. Unfortunately each treat had a characteristic dryness & crumbly texture diminishing the sweet treats enjoyment. See Photos. read more

This place gets you in and out quick! Perfect for a quick coffee to grab in the morning. They had some very tasty looking pastries too! I got a caramel latte with oat milk and the coffee was great, but it was definitely sweet so maybe ask for half syrup if you don't love super sweet coffee. The ladies working there were very nice and made my coffee quickly. Nice spot! read more

Stopped by for a quick coffee - they are pretty fast if you're on the move. The shop is a little small but if you're just in and out it's fine. I got an iced coffee with caramel and it was good, but was a little sweeter than I would've liked. I would definitely go back and try a regular iced coffee for the speed and service. read more

With a cold wind blowing outside, I ducked in to grab a hot coffee. It's the space where Firehook was. I used to frequent Firehook as a younger woman. I thought maybe my eyes were playing tricks on me as many of the staff seemed to be the same, only older (as I am too). Could this be?! I was correct: DCC is co-founded by Jessica Reyes and Rakesh Verma, both former, longtime Firehook employees. I chatted with Jessica for just a bit; found out that Firehook operated here for 32 years and DCC has recently launched. It's still the same bustling spot it always has been and gets a ton of foot traffic, but they do a good job of filling orders quickly. The location, near Dupont Circle metro stop, couldn't be more convenient. I enjoyed my cafe au lait made with French roast, a bold, chocolatey brew from Swing's. Swing's is a wise choice for a brand; a coffee roaster that's been around a long time. Also tried a lemon bar and found it to be delectable. I appreciate how the heritage of the Art Deco building has been respected, with a noticeable upgrade inside, fresh paint and new branding. Welcome to the neighborhood--and bravo to the employees, who are now owners, for keeping it going. read more

Did not really enjoy this place much. It was my first time here. I was excited to try a new coffee place. I did not have any pastries or food here just an iced latte that did nit taste good at all. I had maybe 3 sips and just had to throw it out. read more

Dropped by for cold brew coffee, but they DO NOT OFFER COLD BREW. Staff said they offered "iced coffee" and seemed confused why I'd want "cold brew" or what the difference was. I think someone else said "not a fancy pants coffee shop" - maybe that's what I'm looking for :) read more

A coffee shop for the Dupont Circle community, this employee-owned cafe is very close to the Dupont Circle Metro Station. Walk inside and you'll find eager staff that craft coffee drinks with speed. With a full coffee menu, I ordered a latte. Candidly, it wasn't as creamy or smooth as I prefer, but a little simple syrup from the condiment area helped make it more refreshing. They sell a variety of pastries. The chocolate glazed donut was small and a little dry, but not horrible. There are areas to sit and enjoy a coffee. A few seats have outlets nearby. If you need to use the restroom, ask for the key. After unlocking two doors, you'll find the door to the small, unisex bathroom. read more

I stopped by Dupont Coffee Collective last weekend for a coffee when I was in the neighborhood. It's small, but it has a few tables inside (more like bar seating at the windows and a couple of small high top tables) and a few outside as well. They have some great looking pastries (which I'd happily try next time). I got my regular coffee order - an americano - which was good. The customer service was also good - friendly and fast. Despite being such a small spot (it's a little tight inside when you're waiting for a coffee), it was a great spot for a quick coffee. Great location, I'm sure I'll be back. read more

Got a latte and it tasted good--they use Swing's Coffee from Virginia, which I appreciated. Space is limited and it gets very busy. I went at 4 PM on a weekday and there was no seating available, so it's definitely more of a grab-and-go spot. Reasonably priced compared to other coffee shops in the area. A solid choice if you're nearby and looking for quality coffee. read more

This cafe reminds me of New York City. It is busy, small, and loud. It definitely isn't a sit down type of place to do any work but maybe meet someone for a drink and take it "to go". Iced Coffee and a hot Latte was $6. The Iced Coffee is on the stronger side and is "bold". Reminds me of an Ethiopian type Coffee Bean. Be ready to order quick, pay, grab, and go. read more

One sip of the dirty chai (with oat milk) at Dupont Coffee Collective and I turned into the heart eyes emoji! Rare (& magical) occurrence where the chai and espresso are both equally flavorful and detected. Service was quick & shop felt homey. read more

Great place. The staff were super nice and the drinks were pretty good. Slightly disappointed that it closes at 5 now, but it's still has great coffee. read more

AFFORDABLE and reasonable prices for coffee drinks, nice environment and friendly service. Had a peppermint latte, which was yummy and piping hot. I will definitely come back and support them!! read more

We love this place but we wish that they'd bring back the sausage and ham & cheese croissants. They were seriously the best and I miss them everyday read more

BLUF: A nice place for a reasonably priced tasty cup of coffee that isn't served in a tiny cup that you'd receive elsewhere for twice the price. Tasty pastries. Polite & attentive service. Quick! May not be a fancy pants coffee shop, but it's a great place to get a solid cup of java. Just enough frills on the menu to satisfy those semi-selective lower maintenance types. Those who prefer to order a cup of java that requires a paragraph of prose or a huge bullet list would probably not appreciate this quaint little venue. Service was great! I was actually asked politely if I would like to order something rather than coming face to face (or face to back of head) with a staff member who was less than interested in taking my order or who was just staring at me with a scowl waiting for me to speak. The energetic & attentive interest in taking my order was a pleasant plus to coming here...even on a super busy day. Worth the wait in line? Yes! read more

Fast, friendly and delicious. My large cup of brewed coffee was great--smooth and well balanced. And it was a fraction of the prevailing cost in DC and much more enjoyable than the coffee at those chains. Careful, though, it comes out blistering hot. The sausage, egg, and cheese croissant came out looking less than perfect but looks are not the optimal way to judge food. The croissant was lightly toasted, the eggs were perfectly cooked, soft and lush, and the sausage patty was lean and tasty. It was quite good. The almond croissant is great and is covered in sliced almonds and powdered sugar. The chocolate doughnut was above average. Overall a great choice across from the Dupont Circle Metro stop. read more

4 stars for service and the spinach feta pastry (served warm, large size, flaky and tasty), but the coffee (both espresso and drip) were tough to get down. prices are good though read more

Sourdough bread is amazing! Delicious pastries and cakes. Cute cafe with friendly staff. Employee owned small business.

The prices are good, the coffee isn't. It's on a similar level to Starbucks. The pastries and bread are also just decent, but they're priced accordingly. Sigh. read more

THIS IS JUST THE REBRAND OF FIREHOOK. Great food, coffee, and prices. Line moves quickly if there is one at all. Love this place! I used to come here all the time and was upset to find Firehook gone when I came back to the city to visit. Went inside to see what had replaced it-- everything is exactly the same. Even some of the items inside still have the old name and logo. read more

Coffee, in all it's variations, are smooth and flavorful. The selection of fresh pasteries rivals full bakeries nearby. The staff are fast and friendly. It's the perfect jump start to your day and at half the price of that national chain down the block. Support Local Business! read more
