While the coffee and staff service is excellent, it seems that they no longer offer wifi for people who want to get out of the house during the work day. Their justification is that they want to "encourage social interaction," but that is not a factor for many who are simply trying to have a nice coffee drink and get some things done during the week. The Coffee Bar can do both, and in the meantime they lose customers to other nearby cafe's that offer wifi.

Warm and cozy ambience. Staff were super friendly. Great spot to work or grab n go. 5/5

This is a cute little spot to grab a coffee drink of your liking. The atmosphere is nice for going by yourself to either some some work done, not like a while project, but rather something small. Or meeting up with friends. I have added it to my coffee shop list as a place I would return to if in the neighbourhood.

Very kind staff. I recommend the flat white it is just perfect ?!

Cute space with a great dirty dirty chai and coffee selection with assorted local baked goods. There’s some great in and outdoor seating to stay a while.

This is a great coffee shop in Shaw. Good drinks, friendly staff, decent prices, and a nice big patio out front. The only downside (and this is subjective) they do not offer wifi, which is interesting during the weekday because everyone seems to come here to work outside on the patio. But overall ten out of ten, this is a great spot to have in the neighborhood.

Love supporting the local coffee shop. Drinks are great, staff is very nice. A few small outdoor tables but nothing inside. Matcha is not great and the one pastry I’ve had was nothing to write home about. But coffee, vibe, staff, location great!!

The coffee was pretty decent, but the service and friendliness of the staff was stellar. I got a London fog and it was delicious, but in the future I would probably ask for a shot of espresso since the flavor was really light. I will say that a lot of reviews here mentioning wifi aren't accurate anymore- it seems that they aren't offering wifi anymore due to COVID. Which I respect but wish I knew prior to stopping by.

Cozy neighborhood coffee shop with nice patio seating during the warmer weather. The wait for your drink can be very long, and my experience with their cappuccinos has been meh. Regardless, a safe option for people watching or a leisurely weekend coffee.

A nice little coffee spot in DC. Great service and delicious blend for their house blend.
