    Iced Spanish latte with almond milk
    Nicole O.

    I always get the Spanish latte here which is espresso with condensed milk and a little additional milk on top. The shop is small but efficient and the staff has always been nice. More importantly the Spanish latte is always perfectly made and delicious.

    Super fast and friendly baristas. Solid espresso drinks with fun specials. I think it's the best coffee in rosslyn. Try the lucky charms latte you will not regret it!

    Had my first Spanish Latte and loved it. The  seasonal drinks were strawberry flavored.

    Had my first Spanish Latte here and loved it. The barista was helpful and friendly. They are located right inside the front door and within a small food court.

    They have the best espresso and it's roasted right in Alexandria!

    I love popping in to this local coffee shop in the Upside on Moore Food Hall. They use espresso from local roasters- and you can literally taste the difference. Go see Sammy and the other morning staff- and they will take great care of you!

    Narrow, open to rest of the mall, modern, lots of chargers.

Served with housemade sourdough," but I didn't see any of the veggies and barely saw the eggs. And, again.. it looked like soup. Little did I know I was about to ingest the equivalent of culinary SUNSHINE! Guys, I don't even know how to describe the flavor... It was a little bit sweet from the corn, but then also a bit creamy. It was one of the best dishes I've ever had. Who knew a popular place known for their baked goods would deliver such a gastronomical delight? If you go and see this on the menu... give it a try... hopefully you enjoy it as much as I did.

So many options. All of them have decent amount of seatings and nice interior decor. Good service. I like this place so much for the convenience and good food and drinks. You can have a decent entree for $20 and under - for that price, it's very good. And they open until 8 pm!

I let the server know about my dietary restriction, and they checked with the kitchen to confirm what could be safely prepared. The service was attentive, patient, and reassuring. They made sure my order was adjusted properly and seemed careful about avoiding cross-contact. The food came out fresh, well-prepared, and delicious. I felt comfortable dining here and appreciated how accommodating the team was. I would definitely come back and recommend it to anyone looking for a gluten-free-friendly restaurant in DC.

The coffee was outstanding and every bit of food we ordered was fresh, flavorful, and clearly made with care. What made the experience even better was the owner herself. She waited on our group and brought such a fun, welcoming energy to the entire place. She was charismatic, engaging, and made us feel like regulars from the moment we walked in. 10 out of 10 experience. Great food, amazing coffee, and exceptional hospitality. I'll absolutely be back the next time I'm in DC.

    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.

The positive reviews for this place are genuinely shocking. Friend also ordered a different drink that had no flavor. A better alternative is Childhood cafe, one block over, that is the same price but the drinks are extremely flavorful.

The restaurant is super cute, with a fun cafe vibe, and it's an easy walk from the waterfront. We ordered the Colada Trio, which came with empanadas, cauliflower sliders, and yuca fries. Everything was delicious, and it came with three different sauces that were honestly all so good. I could've eaten those sauces with everything. We also ordered the Platanachos (plantain nachos), which were flavorful and such a fun twist on traditional nachos. They accidentally forgot the cauliflower and mushroom topping, but as soon as I mentioned it, they brought it out right away along with extra sauce. Mistakes happen, but what matters is how a place handles them, and they were incredibly accommodating, which I really appreciated. It was pretty busy when we visited, and I noticed who I believe was the manager or owner helping clean tables and checking on guests. I always love seeing that kind of hands-on involvement. Great food, friendly service, and an awesome location if you're exploring the Wharf. I'd definitely recommend stopping by!
