Cool Coffee

Decided to switch things up and check out a new coffee shop. Parking is really simple here. The baristas were very friendly. We tried their dirty chai latte and an almond croissant. It was $20 for 2 drinks and a pastry which I feel is pretty steep but at least it was delicious. I think most of the cost came from the espresso shots which were $2 a shot. They have plenty of seats downstairs as well as upstairs. The coffee shop didn't have anyone inside at first but by the time we were leaving there was at least 10 of us. I also loved how environmentally friendly they were with reusable cups. I'll be back, thank you

The most striking thing about this coffee shop--besides its truly wonderful cappuccino--is its space. The ground floor is spacious and very high ceilinged, and (as of yet) very minimalist in style. One gets to the upstairs area though an unusually winding and nice hardwood-floor staircase, with more than one way to get up there. The upstairs area has various types of tables, sofas, chairs, and plenty of unused room. I loved that water is drunk out of metal instead of plastic cups. The owner Dawit is super-friendly, brimming with creativity when I chatted with him a bit to learn of his coffeeshop business, which goes well beyond this particular coffee house. Cool has more in store for customers--highly recommended!

This is a cute coffee spot with decent street parking--always a plus! The coffee options are basic, but they taste great, which is really what matters. They also have a few baked goods and breakfast burritos on the menu, which is a nice touch.The atmosphere was perfect for catching up with a friend, getting some work done, and, of course, fueling up with caffeine. Definitely a solid choice for a laid-back coffee break!

I've visited twice and find the coffee to be excellent.As others have mentioned, the staff aims to please. Am impressed with the skills of the baristas. They very much care about what the customer wants.The space features 2 floors of seating. The decor is inviting, very clean and crisp. Nice background music plays at low decibels.Prices are reasonable for the area.Cool Coffee is fast becoming my go-to.

Despite a plethora of restaurants in Brookland, there aren't many coffee shops compared to other neighborhoods. Visiting the area every Sunday morning, Zeke's is our go-to coffee shop. Now there are options thanks to Cool Coffee. Located in a corner brick building with a neon sign out front with a sunglasses-wearing smiley face, it's open every day from 7 a.m. to 3 p.m. The inside is bare bones with several places to sit and relax. They have a full coffee menu and a glass box of pastries from muffins to croissants. My latte and my wife's americano were really well done. Very tasty and strong. (They brew Nagadi coffee from nearby Silver Spring, Maryland.) Service is excellent! Staff were friendly and they were committed to making us a great cup of coffee.

A 100 percent welcome addition to the Brookland, Northeast DC neighborhood!This much needed coffee shop/cafe is the ambitious plan of owner Mr. Robel. A DC local, he opened the shop as a labor of over to the neighborhood, and it shows.Cavernous street level space is accompanied by friendly service and pretty good freshly ground coffee & lattes. Note - there are no options for flavors - the owner wants the goodness of the coffee to shine through.In addition to free wifi, there is a FULL upstairs with couches, lounging chairs, and a desk to work from (that desk will likely be highly coveted because there's only one for now.There will be growing pains as Cool Coffee just opened this past week and there will be adjustments by the owner, staff, and community - sharing really good energy this place will become a neighborhood anchor.Five stars for friendly service, really good coffee, amazing space, and free wifi. Will definitely be back. Hope to see you there!

Great coffee and friendly staff. Love the upstairs space since it feels like being at home. Lots of light and plants. Just wish there was a few more seats upstairs since they tend to be taken and there's still plenty of space to fit more. Great spot to spot off if you're biking the MBT.

This is excellent coffee! Great find. I had a latte and it was superb. Highly recommend. Their focus is the coffee and it shows.

So happy to have a small business coffee shop in Brookland! Their regular coffee is great, and I've also gotten a dirty chai latte a few times which was perfect. Had their ham & cheese croissant this morning which was good! Cute clean space with an upstairs that's ideal for studying/work.

IT WAS SO SO GOOD!! Highly recommend to go there! If not, you're missing out. I got my iced caramel latte and the milk is very organic. Thank you for making my day!
