Filter Coffeehouse Foggy Bottom

Perfect place for an afternoon pick me up or a nice chat with a friend or colleague. I visit filter on a weekly basis and the employees are always very kind and the drinks are consistent. Id say you're not going to find a lot of unique syrup flavors and whatnot but they do the classics very well - like cappuccinos, cortados, drip coffee, teas, etc. Their pastries (like the pecan one) are delicious! I've also ordered filter coffee for catering for a work event and they were timely with preparing the order and even offered to help bring the coffee a few blocks away to the office, which was greatly appreciated.

Popped into Filter Coffeehouse to try out a new place in Foggy and was pleasantly surprised by the experience!I got myself an Iced Americano with half and half with a splash of their house-made syrup. Very strong and tasty. The service was speedy on a busy day and the staff were extremely attentive!The ambiance is clean, spacious, and perfect for meeting with a colleague or getting work done. Great place to stop for a quick coffee or a WFH day!

Great coffee shop, standing tables inside, some patio seats out. Their espresso is very good (one of the best in DC), but only open weekdays :/

This is a great place for drip coffee lovers, but if you're into sweeter drinks you may resonate with me.I was excited to try Filter with all the great reviews but it was a little underwhelming for me. Based on the name they specialize in pour overs and French press. While I'm more of an espresso/latte fan, the reviews also mentioned they have good espresso too which is why we still checked it out. Some quick things I noticed, they only have oat and soy as milk alternatives and only have muscavado syrup you can add to your drink. There were some pastries available too. I got an iced mocha and added the muscavado syrup and my friend got a hot oak milk latte with the muscavado syrup. My mocha tasted a little bitter even after adding the syrup. When we ordered we were asked if it would be 'for here' or 'to go'. We decided 'for here' so my friend got her drink in a mug. Unfortunately there isn't much seating other than some standing tables in the area, but it's connected to a building so we found a table, but weren't sure if it was technically connected to the coffee shop. It's not an issue that some coffee shops are go to vibes only but if it's an option to have your drink in an actual mug I wished there were more seating options.

Roaster: Ceremony (Annapolis)Got a drip coffee. It was delicious, and better than most places in DC. Close to Farragut West metro. Ambiance is meh, but who cares?!Service was friendly.The coffee is stellar. This will be my go to shop because the drip is on point.

I've heard good things about the drip coffee but in terms of their latte I found it a bit disappointing. It wasn't bad, but at over $8 for a 16oz drink I would have expected it to be one of the best coffees I've tried in DC, which it definitely was not. The ambiance is also nothing special, with no seating in the cafe itself although I believe it is connected to a public space with tables and wifi.

Honestly, what grabbed my attention to try this spot is because this cafe encourages to talk to your neighbors, which is very unique and very true what we need to do nowadays.I ordered one of their "special"/pour over & french press coffee menu, the Kenya one. I highly recommend trying this menu because this coffee has such a unique flavor! No milk/creamer added, just black and the coffee was a sweet taste! HIGHLY recommend trying this cafe! I will definitely come back to try more of the "special" menu!

The espresso here is awesome. My favorite coffee shop in DC with a friendly staff and amazing espresso (and flat whites).

Very attentive staff with a high quality product. Coffee is a tough business and they meet the highest quality and service standard setting themselves apart. Worth a longer walk to reach them, or stop in as you drive by.

Love their location and the in house drip coffee. The service is very good as well. Very close to GW and that's a perk!
