    Pull apart donuts
    Brian P.

    Pretty average McDonald's located just south of the National Mall. You can order at the counter, on the app, or on one of their many self-service kiosks. When ordering on the app and checking in upon arrival, my food came out within a couple of minutes, hot and fresh. I also saw they had new pull apart donuts being advertised, so I ordered one of those as well. The donut was cold and likely baked earlier in the morning or offsite and shipped. Because of this, it wasn't easy to pull apart and didn't taste as good as a fresh donut. But hey, what did I expect at a McDonald's?!

    Very few restaurants around National Mall. We have to eat these kinds of burgers. It has $3.99 for sales. However, it only deducted $0.01 for the second burger.

    This is a large lemonade, filled only 20% of the cup. Unbelievable. I ended up not drinking it and just poured it out.

    I placed an order on the kiosk which was out of paper so my receipt didn't print. I didn't get any order confirmation on my phone or email so I had to tell the cashier what I ordered. When my large lemonade came, it was only filled 20% and the rest with ice (see photo). I ended up just pouring the drink out, since I don't trust whoever filled my cup to drink out of it.

    Large fry

    This mcdonald's is my favorite mcdonald's in DC by far. Clean tables and nice ambiance all around, with cool neon lighting on the outside. Food is always fresh and great. Service is fast and staff are kind.

    This is an average McDonald's that I bought lunch from before visiting the Smithsonian air and space museum. My food and iced coffee were good, but the cashier that took my order was snippy at me because I didn't want liquid sugar in my iced coffee for health reasons.

    I just got the Cardi B and Offset meal and they gave me a cheeseburger dressed as a quarter pounder. Like bruh if y'all didn't have any more quarte pounder y'all could have just said that and I would have just got something else just stupid.

    Large French Fries
    Brianna A.

    This place was quick and efficient. The self service option was definitely Plus. I only order French fries and they came out steaming hot and fresh. They were delicious! The only disappointment was that they had no drive thru and there was practically no parking on the street.

    Filet O Fish Meal
    Destinie M.

    I decided to grab McDonald's on my break since it's so close; BIG MISTAKE. I partly blame myself for not checking my food before I left but I was in such a rush to get back to work I didn't. I get to work and half the bun of my fish filet is PEELED OFF. In what world would someone think this is okay to serve a customer?! The fries were COLD and SALTY, then the soda was FLAT! The whole meal was a waste of time and money. I couldn't even eat it, I'm truly disappointed but then I have to remind myself this is McDonald's.

    Not sitting here.  Definitely not sitting here.

It's also a cool spot to work remote or taking a meeting. I hope the owner open more establishments in the future.

A lot of the new or small coffee shops should follow their lead when it comes to coffee and providing excellent customer service. I love this place.

Even though we got our drinks and food to go, I couldn't help but admire the cute ceramics and overall aesthetic of the space. I ordered the lavender latte, which was good but didn't completely wow me. My husband and I also shared the bread pudding, and that was definitely the highlight. He gave it a 9/10, and I'd have to agree, it was delicious and the perfect treat to enjoy while walking around the pier. One thing to note is that prices are definitely on the higher side. I noticed the avocado toast was around $18, and while it looked nice, it didn't seem particularly special for the price. Overall, a very cute café with a great atmosphere and an excellent bread pudding. A lovely stop while visiting the Wharf.

Total came out to approximately $55. What's hot - Menu. Good variety and there appears to be something for everyone, even possibly vegans. There are sweet and savory options, eggs, french toast, salads, sandwiches, etc... - Quality. Excellent! All 3 of us really enjoyed the food that we ordered. Their french toast and omelettes are delicious. My husband particularly liked the maple syrup that was served with his french toast, because the maple flavor tasted a bit stronger than your average maple syrup. Their pastries are also delicious! Soft, good texture and not too sweet. Given the softness, my best guess is that their sweet treats are recently made. - Service. Pretty good. We did not wait very long for our orders to be ready. The hot foods, like the omelettes, french toast, and drinks, appear to be freshly made. - Price. Good value for money, given the quality and portions. - Location. Convenient location in D.C. However, given the location, be prepared for it to get busy quickly, which means decent lines and wait times. What's not - Interior space. Very tight squeeze inside. There are tables and chairs inside, but their biggest tables can only fit 4 people. If you have children with a stroller or whatever, be prepared to not have room inside. They have outside seating, but that's only conducive to when the weather is warm. This place appears to be popular, which means it can get packed very quickly and seating can be difficult to find. - Acoustics. They play relatively loud music inside, which makes it difficult to have conversations with those you're with. That the interior is small, the music travels easily, which does not help. - Omelette. Even though I liked the flavor of my omelette, it was rather thin. I prefer my omelette to be more weighty/fluffy in texture. Additionally, cheese is not automatically included with the omelette. I ordered mushrooms, red peppers, spinach, and bacon in my omelette. I mistakenly believed cheese was automatically included, but I was wrong. - Parking. Is not easy to find given the location. There is street parking, but it's very difficult to come by. Final Answer Would like to come back, but probably not a first choice given the tight squeeze of the interior. If I do return, would more likely than not order takeaway.

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!

I don't typically go for counter service or QR code service restaurants, but stopped in for a quick bite before a concert at the Anthem.

Probably the nicest surprise was their reasonably priced cocktails that have a Cuban flair. The happy hour options are very tasty.
