    My new friends
    Sabrina G.

    I came for the coffee, the private event, and to try the banana cream matcha--but ended up leaving with new friends. Such a great experience! Even with the long lines, the staff did an amazing job getting orders out quickly and keeping things moving. The banana cream matcha was delicious--definitely worth the hype. My new friends ordered cocktails and loved them so much, they went back for two more rounds . The café itself is super cute, with plenty of seating for a regular day. I'll definitely be back!

    This place is truly a hidden gem! The food was absolutely delicious, and my matcha was one of the best I've had. The café has such a warm, welcoming atmosphere with a beautiful aesthetic that makes it the perfect place to study or relax. The staff was incredibly kind, and the barista even created a custom matcha drink just for me, which made the experience even more special. I've already found my new favorite study spot, and I can't wait to come back!

    Place was a vibe, had a live dj. We had the matcha and breakfast burrito. Beautiful Tulum style aesthetic. Service was surprisingly fast for how busy it was and staff was really friendly. Seemed like a great place to go with friends to eat and even play some card games. Next time want to try the cookie butter drink that seemed really popular.

    Llamabar is very spacious space. Great for hanging out with friends, coffee date and more. The food was good and the drinks were pretty good as well. The service was fine and nice jams in the background.

    Llamabar is one of my favorite cafes to work from during the day. The music playlist always perfection, so you'll find yourself (quickly) signing along to most of the songs while working if you're a music lover. The service is always top tier although the last few times that I've been to the cafe, staff could be more attentive to cleanliness of the place.My favorite meal is the Crabby Patty BLT which comes with a side salad, and a bag of chips (if the server reminds you to grab the chips). Overall, Llama Bar is worth the visit if you're looking for a quick meal and/or coffee/matcha. Also, a great metro accessible location to work in the Navy Yard with ample lightening and decent seating.

    A cute dog-friendly cafe in Navy Yard with great potential. Unfortunately, the drinks and food have been underwhelming for me. The first time I came I ordered one of their fall seasonal drinks - a pumpkin cream chai latte. Maybe it was just too many different flavors, but all I could taste was syrup with a little hint of pumpkin. I came back last week to try their sweet potato and quinoa bowl and their banana matcha drink. Again, the drink was entirely too sweet and the banana was too overpowering. The breakfast bowl came with an overwhelming amount of sweet potato tots and it felt like I ordered a side of those instead of an actual dish. Would I come back? Absolutely not. While I love the space and the service has been great and friendly both times, the food and drinks are not worth coming back for.

    I came here before I had an interview. The ambiance really fit the vibe. I wanted a quick pick me up before the interview. The coffee is alright. I could tell the coffee is a bit.. burnt? One and done for me.

    Great place for breakfast or a casual brunch in a beautiful space! The green elixir smoothie (spinach, kale, mango, pineapple, banana and fresh ginger) is my go-to for a healthy and delicious starter. The French toast is a carb lover's delight! I enjoyed it during my last visit minus the bananas, which were too mushy for my liking. The dish is large enough for two people. This place occasionally hosts morning dj parties. This means great music, lots of people, and of course a longer wait time for your order. It's a fun vibe, but if you're not into crowds, it might be best to go on a regular day.

    Banana Matcha Latte

    This is a new-ish cafe that I found in DC. For a weekend morning, it was interesting to see a DJ playing and the space being more busy than usual. My friend and I had an easy time ordering, but we found it hard to hear each other inside. I ordered the banana matcha latte, which was more expensive than the usual prices I see within the DMV. I wouldn't say this latte was mind blowing, but it was better than average. I probably won't rush back here anytime, but it's nice to try another cafe in my area.

    The drinks are yummy, food is good and service is even better. I had the brown sugar shaken espresso, if you like sweet I'd try something else or add cold foam. My boyfriend had the strawberry and cream matcha, it was very good! To eat, we split the waygu chopped cheese and this was a hit. Even better than expected. The brunette girl behind the counter was so sweet and helpful. Definitely a great little local cafe!

    What a lovely time! I stopped in here one morning after running some early morning errands in DC and wanting to stop for a quick coffee. Sadly I didn't have a lot of time to try other things on their menu but what I did have was delicious and everything I saw being ordered smelled and looked delicious as well. The vibe of the whole place was very calming and refreshing with lots of plants, natural light and great music! It was definitely a great place to read a book or get some work done. The employees were attentive and the food was brought out fairly quickly. I have heard they do events there but haven't gotten the chance to attend one yet, but I will definitely be back soon to try for my food and hopefully as well!

    Food was cleared! I loved the acai bowl & the Peruvian chicken salad & the brown sugar shaken espresso. The cafe has such a light & airy vibe, Played good music and staff was super helpful. Saw lots of people with laptops so seems WFH friendly. Can't wait to go back

    I love this place so much! Smoothies a hit and their avocado toast such a hit to me and some of the best in the city. Parking is tough though. But food and ambiance so cute!

    Great ambience, good service. The food is a bit pricey to be a regular spot but I'd come here again if I'm in the area.

Its warm, clean design makes it quite welcoming for enjoying avocado toast with smoked salmon, which brings one to a place of spiritual oneness. With white walls, natural wood-grain tables and countertops, Toastique's design radiates minimalist, urban style while remaining inviting. Any time I have been there, the wait times have been stress-free, and the queues move quickly. Food-wise, you can't go wrong with their avocado toast with smoked salmon. With a generous portion of smoked salmon on top of avocado mash, on perfectly toasted sourdough bread, creating a place of tremendous well-being. The cucumbers, marinated tomatoes, red onion, capers, and a sprinkle of microgreens make for a fully satisfying meal without feeling like you are overdoing it with your life choices. Drink-wise, I always go for cold brew and the cold brew never lets me down there. Last time, they had a peanut-butter cold brew and a black cherry one, both of which were magical. This Toastique delivers every time.

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.

The Tikka dish with fried egg was tasty, but wish paneer or larger protein option was built-in (not an upcharge)!

I paid $5 for a side of zesty naan topped with different spices and really wish it came with the dish just came with it. While I was tempted to order the falafel, I couldn't justify shelling out another $5 for another upcharge and spend $10 on them for a total of $26 for just an entree - when these 2 upcharges should have been included in the entree by default. Wish there were more fun vegetarian dishes on the menu. Might come back for drinks and to explore the menu!
