Aslin Coffee

downgrading the review - espresso is decent, flavored drinks are good, they offer large sizes and have a ton of seating inside and out (and are dog friendly)but every time we've tried to go the past few months, the shop isn't open at their stated time. not an issue since we just keep walking to other shops nearby, but I haven't run into another shop as inconsistent as this one with their hours

Aslin coffee is conveniently also a beer company. Perfect for a World Cup Saturday where you may want to start your morning with caffeine and end your morning with a beer. There's a large outdoor space to enjoy your drinks as well as a smaller indoor space. There's also a food truck that I would for sure try at some point. We had the iced matcha and iced maple latte because iced coffee/tea is perfect in any season. The iced matcha was pretty good- if I'm in the area and am in a tea mood I'd definitely go back. What I loved more though was the iced maple latte. It had the great balance of sweetness that can be hard to find sometimes. So whether you enjoy a beer, coffee or both this is a cool spot

The 14th Street corridor is home to, well, not-so-many great indie coffeeshops, especially closer to P and Q streets.The recent opening of Aslin Coffee changes that, and is definitely a welcome update to the neighborhood. In fact, Aslin Beer Company, with several locations around DC, took over a parking lot, turned it into a beer garden and added this all-day (and most days, all-evening, too) coffeeshop in the rear of it. It's super cute, has plenty of seating both indoor and outdoor, and provides great coffee and alternative milks with a smile. The baristas and friendly and helpful, and the service is generally quick. Definitely will become a regular stop for my iced oat milk latte whenever I'm around this area of DC.

Day or night, Aslin packs a lot of fun. It's a great use of space in a spot that was formerly vacant, and the fact that it used to be a gas station adds some visual interest too! And of course the colorful mural of Justice Jackson plus the first Black judge. Folks may not recognize the other woman on the mural, Constance Baker Motley, the first Black woman who served as a federal judge. On to the coffee and beer! In the morning early/afternoon, I tried out the $16.00 Wednesday unlimited coffee deal and I was VERY caffeinated! I tried the black sesame snickerdoodle latte, matcha, chai, and Cafe Morena (all iced because it is hot out here.. whew!). I think my favorite was the Cafe Morena (americano and dulce de leche) because it's similar to Vietnamese iced coffee. I enjoyed the variety! If you can brave the heat this summer, it's a great place to work for at least a couple hours. (Note: Not many outlets!). Having the Bun'd Up truck there is great and convenient for a bite. My favorite is the miso chicken bao. I wasn't a huge fan of the mushroom one (sorry, vegetarians!). Now pack up your laptop and stick around to get a refreshing beer. At night, it's a bustling beer garden. (Technically you can start drinking at noon. No one is judging.) Sometimes I'm not a big IPA fan, but I liked the purple starfish and double orange starfish IPA plenty. Another reason for loyalty: If you sign up for their friends w/benefits program, you earn 1 point for every $1 spent and receive a $5 discount for every 100 points!

The newest coffee shop in town is also a beer garden. Open daily for coffee at 6:30 a.m. and beer at 11 a.m., Aslin roasts their beans and brews their beer and sour ales in Northern Virginia. With a black sesame snickerdoodle latte on the menu and 24 taps inside and out, here's what you should know:1) Location: 14th and S Streets NW by Nia Keturah's mural of Supreme Court Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson,2) Hours: Daily at 6:30 a.m. for coffee and 11 a.m. for beer,3) Amenities: Wifi, indoor and outdoor (some shaded) seating, restrooms, and one visible indoor power outlet,4) Transportation: Street parking and the closest Metro Station is U Street along the Green and Yellow lines,5) Nearby: Jane Jane for cocktails, Etto for pizza, and African American Civil War Museum for history.

We went for the beer garden and had a great time! There was a long line to get in, but it was worth it. We loved the bright murals. The place was lively, loud, and packed! We were able to stake out a picnic table and share space with another group. There were cute doggies hanging out, too. They serve beer, wine and ciders. We enjoyed the selection. The ciders were strong! There was a bao bun food truck, and the food was great! This is a fun, happening spot, and I recommend you stop by to check it out.

I went in so excited to try this place - Aslin is easily one of my favorite local breweries and I was so happy when I heard this place was opening. I finally got around to going last weekend and couldn't have been more disappointed. Terrible ambiance, rude staff, and extremely mediocre coffee. I also feel like the beer is much worse than it is when canned - maybe a problem with their draft lines? Also, to serve some of these beers with such high ABV and have no food seems irresponsible.

This is an interesting place. During the morning and early afternoon, it's a cafe...but one without any pastries, only coffee, tea, etc. There are only stools rather than anything to lean one's back against, so it's not well suited for those who want to spend some quality time seated comfortably. Then, in the later afternoon and beyond, it turns into a raucous, packed place where millenials go to have beer (mostly standing room). There is also attached to it a large beer-garden-type space, but I didn't spend any time there as it was winter.

Promising start to coffee portion of flagship Aslin beer and coffee area. I'm glad to see that site opened up prior to 4th of July. As always with new operations, please bear in mind that service is slower than usual.

I love this place!! It's definitely a summer block party vibe here with what looks a converted car shop (don't quote me on that). It's packed and very bubbly, with Adirondack chairs and umbrellas placed throughout the property. Definitely seems to be a place that people of all ages can enjoy, and even their pups! The service is ridiculously quick and very good - you literally order on your phone and you look up and it's there. We got the bao buns which were surprisingly delicious and very flavorful! Good variety of sour beers that are perfect for the summer - definitely recommend the sour that's made from skittles. Parking can be tricky as it's just the typical street parking on 14th st, so Uber or scooter may be a good option. Will definitely be making it back here! Sounds like they have great coffee deals on Wednesdays for WFH.
