This place is super cute! It's small, but cozy, also has some outdoor seating. Inside it looks like your average coffee shop, they have TVs, the TVs have closed captioning. The service was fast and friendly! They were helpful and accommodating! The bagel I got and the coffee were both delicious! We end up going back the next morning! read more

The outdoor patio has the coolest vibe that just can't be matched by most other cafes in the area. The only downside to the patio is that there are no outlets to plugin. So it would be wishful thinking to plan to stay and work here for several hours, especially with my old laptop with a severely dysfunctional battery. I ordered a capuchino with vanilla flavoring . It's my ultimate favorite and I wanted to see the difference in flavor with this cafe. It was awesome and expensive! They have seating inside as well but who would want to be inside on a n awesome Sunday like today? read more

This is for sure one of my favorite coffee place in the DC. Located in one of the most beautiful neighborhoods of the city, this place offers you a cosy and worm place for a cold winter or late fall morning. Old-fashioned interior, great Illy coffee and the variety of pastries, bagels and other types of breakfast or brunch available. Personnel is busy, but very attentive. They also offer their loyalty program and takeout. And if it is too worm and smoky for you inside, enjoy the patio! read more

The lady that took my order was extremely rude. I ordered an iced matcha latte and she gave me hot. I kindly said "I apologize, I ordered an iced latte". She responds saying outwardly that I ordered hot. I said "I ordered ice". She still repeats saying that I ordered hot. When she finally went back to correct my order, she rolls her eyes. When she was in the kitchen, she would walk past me without saying excuse me. I finally asked for a refund which took 15 minutes "so she can find the order" . She told me she could not find it (even though I had ordered 10 minutes ago). I had to go on her computer and obviously show her my previous order. I will never come here again. She is super rude will never bring my business here again. read more

I was visiting my brother recently and he lives in the area, a short walk away. This place became my favorite local spot, I wanted to go everyday I was there. The ambiance, the service, the food, the muffins, the coffee, everything was perfect. I ordered the egg white sandwich three days in a row, so did my mom and brother. On the last day we also ordered the blueberry muffin and apple walnut coffee cake, both were moist and delicious. I'm back home in Atlanta and literally craving Jacob's.

My friend has been raving about Jacobs since we both moved to the neighborhood 2 years ago. In honor of his birthday, I finally tried it this morning. While admittedly slightly skeptical, it did not disappoint. The ambiance was welcoming, cozy, and perfectly encapsulated the Capitol Hill neighborhood. There was a group of younger law students having a pow wow before class, two young professionals who were strangers yet sharing a table, and then a middle aged gentleman who looked to be feverishly working on his thesis. The bagel man greeted me with a warm smile and within minutes I was handed my cappuccino and headed off to work with extra pep in my step. I look forward to enjoying the spacious patio, next time with friends! read more

Despite living in the area for a while, I hadn't been to this coffee shop, but finally got the chance last weekend. It was pouring, so we didn't get to enjoy the outdoor seating but I was impressed how much seating they manage to squeeze into the small interior space. The space does feel a bit cramped (especially on a rainy Saturday) but this is clearly a local gem - the staff knew a lot of regular customers by name and the atmosphere was very cute. My friend and I got chai tea lattes, which were very good! Not too sweet, creamy but also nicely spiced. Would definitely get another one. I got a bacon, egg and cheese bagel, which was a little underwhelming for the price, but nothing wrong with it. Their cream cheese options looked good, so I think if I were to go for breakfast again, I'd just get a bagel with cream cheese. It's a little on the higher side of pricing, but it's a very great little shop, so I'm happy to support it. I'll be back! read more

My husband and I frequented Jacob's when we lived two blocks away, but now that we live over a mile away we still stop by at least once a week on average. The chai tea is worth getting, and they have non-dairy milk options for those of us who care about such things! Breakfast: egg bagel sandwiches are simple but SO good and my whole family craves them (thus stopping by at least once a week)! We rotate between the wheat, plain, and everything bagels. They're all great. The little patio, as Brittany F. mentioned, can get slightly loud with bus traffic from 8th Street, but it's a pleasant place to sit outside with your beverage and your pup. No complaints! Thanks Jacobs, and in particular, Jasmine, our favorite barista! read more

My favorite coffee shop in DC so far, by far…read more Dua DC is an Indonesian-coffee shop serving delicious coffee and amazing vibes -- the kind that remind you life is beautiful. They were playing bossa and jazz. I opted for the Aren latte and Indonesian beef rissole. Aren latte: 5/5 Latte with an in-house made Aren (palm sugar from West Java) for that hint of molasses and dark brown sugar This was one of my favorite coffees I've had in a while. There was a delicious coffee taste not overshadowed but rather enhanced by the smoky sweet taste of the Aren. I'll be thinking about this latte for a while. Indonesian beef rissole: 3/5 Batter-like skin rolled in breadcrumbs filled with savory ground halal beef & sautéed vegetables While I've never had this dish before, I googled pictures of what it should look like, and mine seemed to have significantly less meat than it should've. The taste was still delicious and seasoned and hearty, but it was mostly mush with some veggies and hardly any beef. While I thought the rissole was disappointing, I love the aren latte so much I'll still keep the 5 star review.

It was creamy, earthy, and let the matcha shine. If you like your matcha a little sweeter, I'd recommend adding their in-house pistachio syrup. The only small downside was that it seemed like they use matcha concentrate that's prepared in advance rather than whisking each drink fresh. It was still good, but I do prefer freshly whisked matcha. Even with that, I'd absolutely come back. Their menu is extensive, everything coming out of the kitchen looked delicious, and the whole space has such a welcoming vibe. Also, take a minute to read the story behind the name "Tatte."

Most recently went as a party of 4 and got the crab beignets, beef arepa, masa gnocci, and parillada for two. Crab beignets were our favorite - perfectly crispy and great flavor. Masa gnocci was a little overcooked this time but still yummy. Beef arepa is a classic dish to get at the royal; two people can easily share one arepa. Parillada was a hearty entree and probably best for 2-3 people. This amount of food altogether was just nice. We probably could have ordered one more thing to be extra full. I don't typically get Latin American food but love all the flavors at this restaurant. Next time will try their breakfast menu!

Yummy. This is my favorite burger in dc. It is toooooooo good. & the fries are fire too. Seasoned…read moreso nicely. The burger was cooked to a perfect medium rare. It had a beautiful chew with the classic burger toppings with an amazing pairing of their slaw with a garlicy aioli. The bun was very pillowy and soft with a nice crust. They also never lack on their specialty lattes. I got their carrot cake latte and it was just so fabulous. Extremely smooth espresso and perfectly steamed milk. Syrups made in house of course and you can tell. Just a perfect latte. I usually am an iced latte person but I recommend getting their lattes hot. Hits different.
