Plenty of seating and lots of nice art of the wall that is up for consignment sale. Nice spot all around for a quiet read or working remotely.
Mind you… I have to get to work and NOW I’m running behind. I let the employee know, “hey, you forgot about my drink and I need to get to work”.
There was no sincere apologies, didn’t even announce my name AFTER they made it and then proceeded to continue to have their conversation with their friends.
I’ve been coming here for quite a few times in the morning, because the coffee is freaking delicious (and the pastries), and NEVER had any issues until now.
Ridiculous of me to even have to write a review about me leaving a COFFEE SHOP crying because of an employee.
This coffee shop is hands down my favorite in Edgewater. The coffee is incredible ☕ —smooth, strong, and clearly made by people who don’t mess around with their espresso game. It’s the kind of coffee that makes you reconsider your loyalty to every other cup you’ve had before.
The service is lovely —nothing over-the-top, just genuinely nice people. The owners usually say a quick hello and let you do your thing, which honestly fits the whole cool, low-key vibe perfectly.
Dog-friendly? Absolutely. Which means I’m not just getting caffeine—I’m also getting emotional support in the form of passing corgis.
The place has that effortlessly edgy aesthetic —a little artsy, a little grungy, and full of people who either are working on their thesis or look like they should be. It does get packed when students flood in , but I still love to study or work there. The energy is buzzy, not chaotic.
Pastries? Good. Really good. Definitely worth grabbing something sweet with your drink.
Bottom line: This spot is a gem in Edgewater. Amazing coffee, great vibe, dog-friendly, and perfect for working or pretending to work. Highly recommend if you’re in the area. ☕
Their espresso is confident without being sharp, smooth and slightly chocolatey. It is rich enough to satisfy yet light enough to sip slowly. Paired with a house made granola bar that is nutty, sweet, and just chewy enough, it turns into a little ritual moment. The staff feels like familiar faces, welcoming, discreet, and considerate of whatever pace you came in at.
