Really bright, friendly coffee shop with fun specialty drinks. We were hoping for the cardamom latte (on a recommendation from a friend) but they weren’t serving it anymore. Bummer! However, the turmeric latte was delicious. The staff is super welcoming and fun, making us feel comfortable from the very start. Good tunes and a farmhouse chic decor. Worth a visit if you need a caffeine fix!

I really enjoyed this coffee bar. It’s fairly trendy/bohemian on the inside. Love the atmosphere and they give you the option of Single Origin Espresso in your beverage. Highly recommend.

Coffee and the patries were delicious. I wish there was more and comfortable seating. The place is good for someone coming and going. But for us who are tourists and wanted to sit and enjoy our time. This wasnt the place.

Great coffee and vibe. Friendly service.

The mocha is delicious, they let you bring your own mug and though its a little pricey, the quality and customer service make it worth it!

Nice barista. Tiffany colors. Stylish. Not a lot of space, very popular during the day. Did not find wifi here

A coffee bar. Thats it. No WiFi. Small pastry eats. Excellent single origin americano.

Coffee is good, service is great, great design, great vibe, but the line, though moving fast, could be challenging... one personal wish would be better pastries. The stock products on display are definitely not best in show, though would do for a grab and go. Second personal wish would be just a bit more shade. The big glass windows are beautiful, but with a sunny day can be quite challenging to most skins.

Great coffee. Coming from NZ, a country who prides themselves on great food and coffee, this was a major concern for me to get great coffee that wasnt like a milkshake 😁😁. I guarantee the coffee bar. VISUALLY appealing identity. Went back again for more. Lovely staff, Jennie New Zealand

First things first, the coffee is excellent and I really enjoyed the dirty chai that I ordered. Also, I really like that payment at this cafe is quick, efficient, and I have the option to have my receipt emailed to me. I’m all about being green, whenever possible. Coffee rating is 5 stars; customer service rating is 3 stars. Now to my one critique: please minimize arguing with your customers. I made a simple request this morning that my cup not be labeled as “Dirty Pam”. Apparently, the cup naming thing is done a certain way and it seemed to me that this location had never received a critique on this prior to today. It’s not that big a deal but why argue with me on this? If I ask for my name not to be preceded by the word “dirty” then this should be done without being ‘forced’ to explain why I made the request. The lady (I interacted with) gave me a very mean look for requesting this. She was also quite aloof. For me, customer service is more important than the product or service. Please understand that by improving your customer service, you will have customer loyalty. Let’s hope improvement is made on this.

The greatest place to have a good coffee when you visit Washington DC!I personally recommend the cappuccino, it is amazing!And the people working there are very nice and professional. Thank you guys, you manage to make me happy everytime I get my coffee during my lunch break!

A typical over-priced corner coffee store. The staff are friendly and the coffee (at least the lattes) are very good, but you pay a hefty price. A good choice if your fine spending $5+ on a cup of coffee, but not a great value. There is limited seated inside, and when I went (late afternoon) all the seats were occupied.

Absolutely love this coffee shop. The clarity of the pour over is up there with some of my favourite coffee shops across the states. Theres not a lot of seating, so, if it is busy, dont expect a lot of study room. However, the staff is incredibly fast, efficient, kind, and quality. Bonus points for the boldness to play a boy band station on one visit to hit my guilty pleasure fix.

If youre from NYC and miss those Manhattan coffee shops, make a visit to The Coffee Bar. Dont let the fact that its in the ground floor of a glass office building fool you. Once you walk inside, youre 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.Its 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 theres window seating and one long wooden table. Its 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 cant go wrong at The Coffee Bar.

Smaller but very cute space. Very convenient location. Coffee is delicious! Thoughtful and sweet decor. :)

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

My favorite turmeric latte lives here. Have tried over a dozen different turmeric lattes in Manhattan, DC, and Tampa. Have visited this shop 25+ times! And EVERY time, its amazing. The staff is also incredibly friendly and try to memorize all their customers names. Daltons my guy.

I was searching for a great coffee shop during my business trip to DC, and this was the perfect spot. Excellent cappuccino! Also love the multigrain bagel.

Ive followed TCB for a while. As one of the few reputable multi roaster shops in the area, I was super pumped to have this experience. I literally selected my hotel based on its proximity to The Coffee Bar.I arrived at open for a pour over and was told by two employees (who had no drinks up and no customers) that pour overs are not made until 11am, because they are just not ordered frequently.I understand pour overs are time consuming for staff and labor costs are a challenge, but if youre going to offer a product, offer it.If you cant afford to staff properly for your menu offerings, consider changing your menu.This is just poor management and terrible service on the part of the employees working.Tell me it will take 5 minutes. Charge me $6+.If there was a line or any amount of business, I would be so much more understanding.Dont let your customer walk out the door because the baristas are so uninterested in good service and lacking the joy to brew coffee for someone who is clearly pumped to drink it.

Great vibrant place to get a coffee that is probably a notch over your regular Starbucks. But forget it if you want to conduct business, place is usually crowded, with mostly community tables and very loud

Excellent coffee and snacks. Quick service. This is not a sit and work coffee shop, more of a grab and go place.

No WiFi at a coffee shop is like no mattress in a hotel room. Ruined both the progress and impression for an important meeting. Can’t believe you charge $3 for a coffee but are too cheap to dish out internet.

I love this place. It’s right across from work, so I go often. Oat milk latte FTW!

Cool place, although it gets a little crowded. The staff needs to relax a little bit about their coffee. I asked for a dark coffee, and they assured me they only have medium roast. I know, I am a rube for liking Starbucks, but dark coffee is good to me.

Coffee was good. Staff needs bit more training to handle customers of different type. There is one type who come daily and can be served fast. Others who are new need more details, choices etc. I give Coffee 5 star but staff was in a rush and i could not ask for hazelnet flavor so minus one.

This is the more business-like younger sibling of the original location.The drinks are delicious.The staff is great.The service is fast and friendly.

Loved this place--tiny yet airy, with ample seating for the size. I had a delectable cappuccino here and plan to go back for more.

Bright, energetic coffeehouse featuring pourovers, espresso drinks & loose-leaf teas.

I highly recommend you to go here for great coffee, vibes, and service.

Ive had consistently great service here. The barista teams are often quite busy but manage to stay organized, professional, and friendly through it all. Tunes stay on in the background, with styles that vary by the day but are always pleasant. Seating is provided, though considering the close quarters its no surprise that WiFi is not on offer. Sandwich chalk board out front is a fountain of changing humor, doggerel, and visual art. My only request would be the addition of a 20 fl. oz. sized option for the drinks. Thanks, Coffee Bar team!

They have matcha! Cute inside with a smaller seating area. Everything looked delicious. I appreciate the compostable straws and a few baked goods.

TCB has some of the best coffee downtown. Its so nice to get away from the Starbucks. They also offer an inclusive environment and supported the ACLU, so they won in my books!

Great place for coffee and light snacks. Space is rather small so it can be difficult finding a spot to sit during busy times. Staff is friendly and accomadating. Gender neutral bathroom is available. However, not open on the weekends.

I stop in here pretty regularly after bike rides. Great coffee, great staff! Always delicious espresso, and they sell top notch whole bean coffee too.

This location serves some of the best cacceinated beverages around. They have seasonal lattes, limits pastries, bagels, and tea. A little bit for everyone, dont expect to be able to sit down and stay a while, this place is almost always packed.

Ive been to the other location many times. This one is tiny and it was very crowded on a Monday morning. Still very high quality cappuccino. Only go if you have a little time to wait and dont need to sit.

Your alternative milk options are Soy and Oat (that isn’t certified GF)? Not only is this gross but also outdated.

High traffic, small space, no wifi. Not my thing but good for grabbing coffee before work.

Hip coffee shop with really nice staff and delicious beverages. Pastries are excellent as well. It’s small and doesn’t have a ton of seating, so can get crowded during busy hours. No WiFi, good music, and friendly people.

Love the atmosphere! Great coffee!

He was right. Best vanilla iced latte I’ve had in the city.

The people were nice. The draft coffee was meh. Might be that the signature drinks are better.

What a gem, I wish more people in dc would know about it. LOVE their coffee

Cappuccino exceeded my expectations! $3.50 one size (tax included). Would return along trips to/from CSIS around the corner.

I love this place. It’s overpriced but provides a beautiful ambiance and the most amazing dirty chai drinks I have ever tried. But I really wish it had WiFi and that people working here didn’t grin so happily about not having it.

Good coffee can be hard to find in these parts. The Coffee Bar is one of the few exceptions.

Precious, super-expensive espresso hole with surly staff. Whats not to love?

Busy coffee place, friendly service, not a huge amount of seating but enough if youre only going to be there for a little bit. I went there to work and it didnt seem geared towards that.

Love the coffee, the laid back vibe and friendly staff. Unlike the original S St locations you will actually see customers not on electronic devices, which makes me think they dont have wifi. Four stars because its one of the most expensive places to get coffee in the district...probably due to the location.

Great coffee but almost always crowded. Even at odd hours. Not a lot of places to sit, but to run on and grab a coffee its great.

This is the second location for TCB. They are a welcome addition to this desert of office eating and drinking options. Great coffee, friendly staff and good pastries. Theyre also open late which is rare for this area.

Ive quickly become a regular here. As a coffee snob from Melbourne, Australia, this is the best coffee Ive found in DC. Fun, friendly staff an added bonus. Just beware of the 3-3.30pm afternoon rush, you may be waiting a bit.

Great espresso beverages and rotating guest roasts to try. Friendly baristas who are always willing to help you find a drink to enjoy.Just note that its a small location with very little space to stop for a conversation or do any work. No wifi available.

Excellent ristretto. Small but cozy. Super friendly and knowledgable staff. Top coffee place

Very nice place to have coffee.

Cutesy coffee shop in downtown. Ive tried coffee, chai, americano, biscottis and like everything. The space is cozy and charming with lots of sunlight and its usually packed. Be prepared to sit at close quarters with fellow patrons if you dont want to carry out.

Good coffee. Unassuming place with no frills. Not enough seating.

Amazing place, best coffee in the area. A slice of NYC in DC. Ask Will to recommend a pour over.

Do you love a pretentious experience? Youll love this place thats trying so hard!

The coffee is good but there is very little seating. A single long table is in the middle, usually filled with a gaggle of urban hypsters chatting about their day ... every sentence ending in a question mark octave?

Nice third-wave coffee shop with great standard coffee, espresso drinks, and tea etc. The seasonal drinks like their Cardamon Latte or Ameri-cola are wonderful. Snacks and breakfast available with bagels, crossants, etc.

Great coffe. Cool asthetic. Better feeling than downtown DC franchise coffee shops.

Very good beans, and good, but Ive had better cappuccinos (Ive also had many worse). Not a large place, with bar-style chairs, and no wi-fi, so seemingly not intended for those who want to settle in and work there. ...

The coffee bar second location is smaller and more geared towards the in and out business crowd, but still great coffee and espresso. Not as cozy as the other location which is my favorite coffee place in DC

Awesome coffee shop... my favourite...

Awesome vanilla latte. And they have oat milk, my favorite.

The food was delicious.

I hear they have great coffee but I didnt even get that far because counter staff was so rude

Offerings are a little limited but coffee and espresso are top notch and staff is very friendly. Good for a work break or morning reading

Pro- good coffee, nice staffCon- small, loud, no WiFi.

Great coffee, great staff. Easy place to stop into before starting the day.

Great coffee, good atmosphere, but no WiFi. What sort of coffee shop doesnt have WiFi?

Hip modern coffee shop misfit in a glossy DC office building. Serves Ceremony Coffee among some rotating guest beans.

Small and cozy coffee spot. Gets a lot of light during the afternoons.

Excellent coffee and friendly staff. The lattes always turn out perfect.

Cool place.. wifi .. nice owners/employees

Very decent coffee. Good place if you are bored of peets and sbucks. Sadly no nfc payments yet.

There are now some truly terrific coffee places in DC. And among this current crème de la crème crop of post-starbucks, post-peets coffee places, the two Coffee Bars stand out by being exceptionally friendly and welcoming, as well as serving top-notch espresso. What more can a purist want?

Had an excellent ice vanilla latte. Was annoying they didn’t have WiFi.

Excellent coffee and service. Long line is well worth it.

Great coffee, cheerful service. Pastries but no breakfast beyond that

Great service and the iced dirty chai latte is delicious!

You cant deny their chai tastes like youre drinking velvet, but the funky mildew smell that hits you when you first walk in is a total deal breaker. The smell has been there since TCB opened, and really needs to be addressed.Parting Tip: Their address is technically on 17th, but the shop entrance is on M street.

Always the friendliest staff and great coffee! It is a tiny business with a big impact on Downtown DC. I look that much more forward to meetings and events when I know Ill get to stop by TCB!

Ceremony brew from Annapolis and the nicest baristas in DC! Love them.

Cool environment

Visiting from DFW and this feels like our local coffee shop, great service, and delicous drinks.

Best coffee I could find in DC, delicious and lovely service!

Multi-roaster shop putting out fantastic coffee!

Great coffee...something nicely different than the typical coffee shops.

TCB. Taking care of business. Or the Coffee Bar.The Coffee Bar serves up your coffee from a variety of independent, third-wave roasters, including Ceremony, Verve, Bespoken, Onyx, and Novo (...sounds like an odd cult gathering). So for those who love the aforementioned roasters, fuel your caffeine addiction with some TCB.On tap drip, espresso, (vanilla, chai, dirty) latte, cappuccino, mocha, #dailycortado. TCB makes them all with passion. And if youre not one for coffee, you can get some hot chocolate or teas. They also have a selection of pastries from local suppliers including Hawthrone, Sweet Lobby, Bethesda Bagels, and Paisley Fig. Their milk is sourced from a local farm in Lancaster County. In summary, if youre a coffee snob or pride yourself in repping and supporting local businesses, TCB is definitely for you.I stopped by after a meeting in DC to get some much needed caffeine one afternoon. The coffee counter/bar area is décor goals. Chalkboard menu boards (with some of the most beautiful handwriting), coffee paraphernalia, coffee beans, glasses, succulents, and matchy robin egg blue pendant lights and counter wall.Not a whole lot of seating but there are a few if you want to plop down and get a good short story in before your next class or meeting. Most of the cups that come from behind the counter are to go. Friendly staff who are obviously having fun and love what they do. Thank you for TCB.

A favorite of mine for coffee in the city. Not a ton of space for a coffee meeting though.

Great drinks, great spot. Little pricey but so is everything in DC.

This is amazing place! I love this one

Best coffee for about 10 blocks in any direction.

Hip, friendly coffee shop. Good coffee too.

Grungy and hip. Good coffee

No wifi, and there were several bugs crawling around.

Its better than Starbucks

Great selection of different roasters. Quality bar staff.
