    Pain suisse
    Austin G.

    One of the best bakeries in Washington, D.C. is here. Their original location is near Union Market with this location at The Wharf being their second. Here's what's going for them. 1) Food & Drink: Every pastry they make is worth the money and calories, especially their pain suisse. (It's the best I've ever had.) You can go savory with their quiche or ham and cheese croissant or go sweet with monkey bread, basque cheesecake, and more. To drink, they have a full coffee menu and free water in a jug at the condiment counter. 2) Service: Despite busyness, their staff often are patient, calm, and efficient. 3) Space: It's much larger than their original location with several long tables, small tables, window seats, and more. There's a unisex restroom in the back and a door that connects to their neighbor Politics & Prose. 4) Area: There are many restaurants and shops nearby along the water. Parking can be expensive or hard to find so take the Metro (Southwest Waterfront) or ride Capital Bikeshare.

    I would have loved it if they offered a pour over and different single origin selections from around the world... But, that's very preferential to my palate... the roast they serve from small planes is beautiful. The espresso beans are single origin and they serve a blend for their drip coffee. But the gem of this coffee shop is the baked goods! It is absolutely the most delicious and well made bread I've ever had in a coffee shop. I feel like they should be a bakery that serves coffee on the side. Their mushroom toast is out of this world! Like the best thing I've had in a long time. Their sourdough and multigrain bread is the foundation and the most beautiful one at that. The sauce is magnificent. Their croissant is as close to magic as you can get... I just wish I had come in time to have it warm. Their avocado toast is served with fresh piles of beautiful avocado. But again, the multigrain bread is the star! Their Pain Suisse... magic in a pastry... chocolate and pistachio wrapped in flaky croissant! beautiful and delicate... it's a must get!

    Super cute coffee shop with an array of drink options. I got the granola and yogurt which had spiced chopped apples and raisins with honey. It was really good and I don't even like raisins! I also got their flavored latte for the season which is apple and had butter in it. They also had other food options like avocado toast, eggs, cheesecake, etc. There are two long tables that can fit multiple groups and 4 tables of two. Free wifi. Bathrooms for customers.

    I arrived when it opened and to have a warm croissant out of the oven was amazing

    I still dream about this experience. The almond croissant was warm buttery and so delicious perfectly paired with a beautiful warm oat milk latte. Great location on the DC Wharf

    Beautiful little coffee shop attached to a book store. Quiet with music playing, great service and the coffee was exceptional. Also served cinnamon buns and other baked goods but haven't tried them yet. Would highly recommend this place to book lovers.

    Lovely new cafe at the wharf right by the Politics and Prose bookstore! Stop by to chat with a friend or study here. The pastries were delicious. I really enjoyed their chocolate chip cookie and their ham and choose croissant. It was the perfect balance of chewy and crispy. Service is also quick and the server is friendly. I love their interior decor with a nice sunroof and ambient lighting. They also have WiFi and a bathroom here

    Yuzu matcha tonic
    Peggy L.

    Took a quick scroll around and found this new spot! Nice and modern looking cafe right next to the bookstore! Chill vibes. The barista is absolutely friendly and very accommodating as we were inquiring related to the menu and drinks. Ordered yuzu matcha tonic - definitely refreshing taste as you could taste sparkling tonic to hit off with a slight tone of earthy matcha and a sprite of yuzu citrusy flavors. A delight drink around here! Also tried a chocolate with sea salt cookie, definitely fudgy bite but satisfying integrated flavors. Soft and slightly chewy. Definitely would come back for this cookie if I craved for a chocolate cookie.

    I was disappointed by the plain avocado toast that was $18, if you're looking to grab a bite I would suggest to walk down to toastique where they have more reasonable prices for similar menu items that come with additional toppings. The space is minimal and it's a decent place to work if you get there early (it gets more crowded in the afternoon). There are a few large tables with outlets available and it's pretty quiet inside. They do offer a good assortment of pastries which looked delicious.

    Quiche
    Saha S.

    When I found out that a new bakery opened up at the Wharf, I knew I had to give it a try. We got the quiche and the chocolate cookie, and both were excellent. Both the quiche and cookie were nice and rich, and really hot the spot. I definitely plan on coming back here more.

    Bright and cozy coffee shop

    The Wharf - Washington, DC - out for a lunchtime walk and came across this little bakery cafe. The cafe adjoins Politics and Prose. It's well lit by a beautiful round skylight so probably a nice cafe to take a Zoom call if you had to do so. A number of people were working there when I stopped in. The cafe worker helped me choose from the 3 delicious looking cookie options - double chocolate, chocolate chip and snickerdoodle. She quickly packed my cookie to go in a small brown bag. Back at my desk I tucked in. The cookie had plenty of chocolate chips and a good consistency but also an aftertaste i couldn't identify. I would return but definitely give this cookie a pass.

    Great service, friendly staff awesome food. $14 for a fresh baked loaf of sourdough... Great Chai, designer cappuccino. Comfortable space and outlets for charging are in abundance. Clean quiet shared space with the bookstore.

    Pan suisse
    Andrew-Brian N.

    My favorite bakery has a new location on the Wharf!!! The same delicious pastries and food options are here along with much more seating. There are a couple large communal tables along with smaller bistro-style tables inside and outside. I grabbed a pan suisse here and it's just as tender and delicate as I know. If you're unfamiliar, they make a variety of viennoiserie from standard croissants, one of the best ham and cheese croissants ever, and a fantastic morning bun (my personal fav!). Their basque cheesecake is also a winner and they make a super dense bread pudding that is carb heaven. I can't say there are many businesses I frequent on the Wharf, but this will be my go-to when I'm ever in the neighborhood now. So glad to see this local businesses expanding!

    A bit overhyped - but still getting 5 stars…read more This place looked super cute & I added to my places to visit while in DC. Unfortunately, it didn't really meet my expectations. The line was incredibly slow, latte was served hot, & food was mediocre. The interior is stunning, bright, & I felt transported to another country. I appreciated all the cute little trinkets that were for sale near the register. I'd probably give them one more visit in case my first one was an off day.

    The coffee shop is beautiful, but it is very basic coffee. We were staying at The Thompson, and…read moremaman was a very short walk from the hotel. While the shop looks amazing, the coffee was extremely basic. I ordered an iced latte and I could not taste the espresso. The cinnamon Kouign-amann was extremely dry, as was the chocolate chip cookie. When you tried to break the cookie in half it essentially exploded into crumbs. They do have a lot of seating, but there were many single people taking up 4-person tables so it was difficult to find a place for 4 of us to sit. The staff wasn't unpleasant, but they also were not very friendly. They did keep the line moving as fast as they could. Again, the shop is beautiful and bright. The branding on their bags is adorable. Their cutlery is wrapped and there is washi tape with their name on it holding it together. Their drinks and food are served on very nice dishes. I just wish that the coffee and pastries tasted as good as everything looks.
