This is another TCB location on addition to the main one on the S st NW. Lovely atmosphere in the downtown DC, great coffee and welcoming personnel. The place is very cozy, not too much space, but you can enjoy a high chairs by the window. I've been there twice and would definitely visit again. read more

I ordered the cardamom latte, and it was good! I did get the slight hint of spice! It took 12 minutes from the time I ordered to the time my order was ready, during peak hours at 8:30am. At least the staff was nice and friendly! read more

Wonderful little coffee shop located in the Pillsbury Building in the heart of downtown DC. I fell in love with The Coffee Bar's other location Shaw for their incredible coffee, friendly staff, and great vibes, and their downtown version is no different. Their coffee is rich, slightly nutty, and super smooth, and it's great in all forms -- latte, americano, drip, etc. If you don't love coffee, their matcha latte is also phenomenal and probably one of my favorites in DC. The ambiance is a little bit more corporate and a smidge more snug than the Shaw location, but it's still delightful. There are a few seats available at the window-side bar or at a long table in the center of the café, but this spot is also the perfect destination for a little mid-workday stroll with a cup of joe to go. read more

Their iced vanilla latte is honestly one of my favorites in DC. It's so simple but they manage to make it delicious every time! I love that they use a shaker to combine everything before pouring it into a glass. It helps ensure everything is combined and I love it. The space inside is very small so it's definitely more of a to go spot, but it's close to so many office buildings and open working spaces that I don't mind at all. read more

Small, quiet, clean with excellent espresso drinks and a fair price. Knowledgeable baristas who will gladly inform/recommend if you ask.

My GoTo is a Vanilla Latte and I have enjoyed each cup I have gotten. Smooth well balanced latte with a satisfying amount of Vanilla and an enjoyable sweetness. Not cloyingly sweet like some coffee chains that are abundant in this area. The space is a bit cramped, with not a lot of room to sit or even stand and wait for your order. But if you're looking for a good coffee to grab on your way into work I'd definitely recommend this place. read more

This is great little independent spot to have amidst the sea of Starbucks downtown. I'm a fan of their iced coffee and oat milk lattes, and they aren't as steeply priced as some other places around here. They've got pastries and some packaged options (which are vegan, but would love more food options for people with dietary restrictions!) They also have a gender-neutral accessible bathroom which is great. The place is small though, with not much seating, unlike their other location on the opposite side of 14th. So it can get crowded easily so there's sometimes a line. read more

I have passed the coffee bar several times but couldn't see the name of it. It often had a good amount of people inside so I have been wanting to try it out. Today I finally did and I'm quite pleased. The coffee shop is cute and offers a bit more of a local vibe which I like. I ordered a soy latte and the coffee flavor was great. The latte was steamed perfectly. And the kicker was the cute design on top with my name! I came back and showed all my coworkers haha. I def plan to come back here! read more

After many trips to DC and bouncing around the city to find great coffee this is definitely one of my top choices! Very conveniently located right by DuPont Circle and somewhat off of the beaten path. The first time I visited The Coffee Bar I loved my latte so much I had to order a second one to go! If you're visiting DC and looking for a place to grab your morning cup of coffee this is the place! Also tried a ham/cheese croissant that was delicious as well. read more

Found this little gem near my office and was so happy I had time to stop by. I ordered Chai tea for the first time and it won't be my last. Im not much of a coffee/tea drinker, but thankfully the cashier was very patient with me and explained the menu options. Can't wait to go back! read more

I love the coffee bar. Everyone was great. The food and coffee was wonderful and the ambience was positive and uplifting. I found the establishment to be very clean and servers knew how to serve the coffee and food. In some establishments, they'll touch the top of your cup or your plates or your utensils which is, really not restaurant best practice. I always appreciate company that trains their people well and the people that work there care about customers. read more

I was too quick to judge, and I was wrong. I owe TCB that admission. This is now one of my favorite coffee places in DC. They get classic coffee drinks right. After what had struck me as an inconsistent early period after opening, this place has been SO GOOD. I recently tried the best flat white I've had in the city, and their cortado and cappucino are excellent as well. If you love lattes, the cardamom latte is quite tasty. In general, the drinks are better if you sit down and drink them there versus taking them to go (this should probably be the case universally, but at lower caliber establishments I found it doesn't matter as much). Their baristas are also very friendly and the place just has a really great, laid-back vibe. I'm trying to go here regularly during the week, and you should too. read more

Everything you want your coffee shop to be. Pleasant & hasty service, lively and artful ambiance with cool colors and thoughtful elements worked into the nook and crannies. That turquoise neon sign with the scribbly handwriting?! Something in me just loves that and it feels perfect for the coffee bar. My cortado was delicious and my husband enjoyed a pumpkin on his latte! read more

While not the best coffee shop I've ever been to, I genuinely appreciated how friendly the staff were -- particularly the individual taking orders at the register. She made sure to spell each customer's name correctly and just brought a smile to my face! I ordered a matcha latte -- usually I go for almond milk, but they only had soy / oat milk substitutes. The matcha latte wasn't particularly flavorful and tasted more watery than anything. I wanted to give it another shot the next morning, but they were out of matcha then... I also got a honey pistachio kougin aman pastry, which was a bit dry and pretty sweet. Not my favorite but still an interesting / fun pastry! Food: 1. Honey Pistachio Kougin Aman (3.5/5) Drink: 1. Matcha Latte with Soy (3/5) read more

One of my favorite coffee shops for sitting outside and having a relaxing morning. Easily accessible by bike, walking, or metro and still feels very neighborhood-y. Good coffee and friendly staff. read more

Great coffee in a convenient location - super close to Farragut North and close to Dupont Circle as well. I got an iced vanilla latte which was delicious but would live to go back and try their cardamom latte also as it seems like one of their specialty flavors. The location is small with not much seating so definitely more of a grab-and-go type place. read more

Fantastic experience! Clean, warm, people were inviting, and the coffee was amazing. I loved the simple and clean decor and the fact that they had a separate coffee team of six people making coffee in the middle of the café. Patisserie was separate, which made it also really nice for those who didn't want coffee could just take their itemsand leave. I would highly recommend to anybody who likes to sit and have a cuppa coffee and people watch. I wish I had some photos to share. read more

Located at the intersection of M and 17th Streets NW, The Coffee Bar (TCB) was quite true to its big city like surroundings. There is little space with pretty limited seating, but considering their hours I'm assuming they cater predominantly to customers who are there for to go orders rather than countless hours on their laptops. Their decor, while minimal, is perfectly accentuated by the neon sign that reads "The Coffee Bar" (I wanted to take it home with me) and the presence of teal color. I won't lie I was there for the neon sign so seeing it made me happy enough, but the super friendly employees were definitely an added plus. I only had a latte but it was good. Overall, a good experience. Since I live in VA, I wouldn't go out of my way to go back, but I'd go there again when in the area. read more

This place is super crowded on a Sunday but the coffee makes up for it! I ordered cardamom latte and it was delicious. Definitely get it half sweet or 25% because it can be overwhelming read more

Great vibe, great staff, good coffee, and good pastries! Tucked nondescriptly at the 17th and M intersection, an extremely underrated downtown DC coffee shop. The Coffee Bar has an alternative, funky vibe and the staff always give friendly greetings and provide great recommendations when asked. I have had their coffee and several of their pastries over many visits and enjoyed everything I've had. I look forward to returning soon! read more

Staff was nice enough and the price was reasonable. It had good amount of seating when we went at noon. The coffee was very good! We had vanilla beans and not syrup, so love that! They didn't have caramel though. read more

Decided to pop in for a min to take a quick meeting and get a caffeine refresher and Im sure glad I did. Greeted warmly by the two gentlemen behind the bar and I asked what they do well there (this is an artisanal shop after all). One proceeded to ask what kind of beverage I enjoyed and off I went to ordering a flat white then the oat milk caught my attention. Yes, OAT MILK! He was kind enough to allow me to sample it before I actually ordered it and it was SO good. I also ordered the berry granola bar since it was a toss up between that and a biscotti. Grabbed a seat at the bar and the coffee was dropped off to me. First thing I noticed was the flavor of the beans. This particular day they had espresso beans from Peru which were amazing. The coffee was smooth and rich and the bar was fruity and delish. The only drawback was the noise level but I dont think that's a spot to work at - merely just to chill and enjoy delicious coffee! read more

May be the best latte I've had in DC so far just wish both locations offered pick up

Clean and bright, with soaring ceilings and beautiful decor. The drinks are tasty and the selection of fresh baked treats is just right. (This is the original TCB, not the pop up that made a brief showing after Covid.) read more

If you're from NYC and miss those Manhattan coffee shops, make a visit to The Coffee Bar. Don't let the fact that it's in the ground floor of a glass office building fool you. Once you walk inside, you're transported away from the stiff, government feel that DC can have (Though this is quickly changing) and into a magical world reminiscent of the Big Apple. It's a small coffee shop mainly designed for people to get their artisan latte or tea to go, but if you want to stay, the atmosphere is inspiring and there's window seating and one long wooden table. It's decorated simply yet NYC artsy. The coffee is good (Their iced latte is one of the best in DC) and they sell an array of pastries under a small glass panel. You can't go wrong at The Coffee Bar. read more

Cute place with a nice vibe and lovely staff-- a somewhat hidden gem. I'm a big coffee nerd and they knocked it out of the park. They serve the beans from a few of my favorite roasters-- Ceremony and Onyx. I always appreciate when baristas put in the effort to consistently dial in and really get it right. A lot of love and care goes into this place. Will definitely be back next time I'm in town. :) Cheers. read more

Soy Dirty Tara Three words, neatly written, line by line on my cup made me smile after ordering a large, Dirty Chai with soy milk. I'm soy dirty, y'all! But I love this cute little coffee bar. The space isn't huge, so don't expect too much sitting room to perch for long at a location surrounded by so many offices. However, the baristas behind the counter are quick, so it's a perfect choice for a quick grab-and-go! The interior accents are warm and inviting and my Dirty Chai did me just dirty enough. If I'm ever around the area mid-day, I'll be sure to come back again! read more

This spot is legit!! They have Onyx Coffee beans, probably the best coffee I've ever had and it's roasted in Arkansas!! Not a ton of seating - definitely not a spot to work for hours but for a delish cup of java, it's your stuff!! No almond milk though - only soy and oat. Oat definitely is the fatter of the lactose free options and soy has too much estrogen, which I'm so good on...feel me?!? read more

Love this place! drinks are delicious and staff are great and work so hard. Worth the money

Reality check: maybe I'm just not hip enough...or I'm getting old...ooooor this place needs sugar-free syrup(s), (more) seating that isn't uncomfortable, and more items on their menu. I want to like this place, but it's lack of warmth and cozy seating put it into my "probably not" column for cafes I prefer. HOWEVER! The decaf 2% latte I had was exceptional, and the music was nice. The atmosphere = 1 star. The coffee = 5 stars read more

This is most definitely my go to place for some good (upscale) pour over coffee (and other treats). The store has been popular and busy since they opened a few months back and have managed to offer the same level of service and coffee since the start. They offer a small number of coffee options that are all very good! They do offer coffee from Onyx Coffee from Fayetteville, Arkansas - one of my favorite coffee roasters. Their pour overs are made well with consistently and I even like their cold brew :) Staff is friendly and always ready to recommend a drink if needed. A good addition to the busy coffee scene in DC read more

Dark pools surrounded by flecks of white not only describe the massive array of coffee and espresso, but also the dark circles under my squinting eyes as I cue-up at TCB. Located in a bit of a food-desert, TCB is nourished by droves of business-dress clad patrons, who themselves are nourished by choices of drip, pour-over or espresso-based caffeine. Don't let the pre-9am lines throw you, the staff is diligent and efficient. If you are there for a quick pastry and a cup, or for a "coffee meeting", TCB has just enough space to provide. Whenever I try a new coffee joint, I go for my classic; soy latte (some days I get an extra shot..cause...you know...some days...you REALLY need it). It's very easy to see if a place can make a drink when it has two components! TCB uses a soy milk that is not overly sweetened, and fresh ground beans that were perfectly nutty and not at all bitter. Win. A light in a dark fog of morning sleep; an oasis an suit desert! read more

Sunny and intimate, this coffee shop is as close to an insta lover and coffee lovers dream. Everything about the interior screams hip and trendy from the decor on the walls (neon sign, hello!) to the tastefully rustic sugar/milk area. The entire front is windows so there's a ton of natural light. Limited seating which on one hand is great because it means a more cozy atmosphere. On the other hand it also means the shop is small and if there's more than like 5 customers then it's awkwardly cramped and you have to shimmy around other people and the tables. The coffee is also quite good. It's a smaller shop so there's more focus on the quality. I'm by no means a coffee connoisseur but I can tell the difference between good and bad coffee and this place is certainly quite delicious. read more
