GRAPE + BEAN Rosemont

We went with high hopes as the shop looked cute and had some solid reviews however things went down hill the moment we tasted our drinks. My teenager picked a Lavender Lemonade and it tasted like a bar of Italian soap. It was so bad he attempted to finish it but got sick and had to dump it. I ordered the espresso soda and it had zero sweetness and tasted of burnt coffee. I tried to add sugar but to no avail it remained rancid. I did purchase a bottle of wine but nothing local or of note was on the shelves. If this is under new management I recommend teaching your barista's how to make the drinks. We had to gobble the free taffy just to get the taste out of mouth.Unfortunately we will not be returning.

Fantastic! We just love this place... it's a quaint, neighborhood bistro with such charm. They have wine and select items for sale nestled inside this small bistro. An added plus is they have live music Thursday and Friday evenings. It's a must! We had the burrata to begin with and then enjoyed the meatball sandwich and quiche.

I do really enjoy this place after living a block away from it for over 5 years. The deviled eggs are the best thing on the menu. The outdoor space is great and allows dogs, plus they have been having music on Thursdays. The service is fast and everyone is nice. There is also the indoor area for you to get beer, wine, food and other items which is very convenient.My main wish is that they would PLEASE update their website. I also wish they would change up their menu. But neither of those would make me remove any stars.

Close to our home, we pass this establishment frequently and decided to drop by on as a second venue stop since the offer small plates and a great assortment of wine and a few selections of beer on tap. We started with a Portuguese wine and a draft beer and a beer paired with a delicious beer crostini, ricotta, topped with pistachios . Mostly outdoor seating we chose indoor due to the smoke that we brought from California (smoke from Canada fires). The service was spectacular checking on us and explaining that they feature a different wine of the day every week and free wine tasting on Friday 4-7. It's also a small market with fresh brewed coffee, a nice selection of wine and other small products. We loved it as it was very relaxing as we wound down our Friday night.

This used to be one of our favorite places to grab a bite, a glass of wine, or some snacks. The change in ownership has been underwhelming. I don't mind so much the change in vibe from upscale wine bar to coffee shop. The great disappointment comes from the so obviously cut corners. They are consistently understaffed. Wait times for greetings, menus, and food are untenable - not because the staff isn't professional, but because there's often so few people working at a time. The recipes haven't changed but the ingredients have. The quality is obviously lower (if the menu item is even available). The crostinis are inedibly mushy and their cheese boards compare to those premade at your nearby supermarket chain. Again, this is not longer a specialized wine bar. Fine. But the coffee isn't even good! We've frequented this place multiple times since the transition, and it continues to quickly decline. It is such a shame to lose such an institution to yet another middling coffee shop.

While visiting the nearby George Washington National Masonic Memorial, one of the largest privately-funded memorials honoring the first president in the country, I walked passed Grape + Bean. Located within a quaint and well lit shop, it draws you in. It's as if you've stumbled upon an old general stote.Walk inside and you're greeted by their friendly, knowledgeable and passionate staff. Browse the single room space. There's a lot to see from an impressive and well curated wine section, craft local beer (including sour ales and hard cider), chocolates, ice cream, snacks and any other treat you're craving. They also sell bags of locally roasted Small Planes Coffee. They also sell soups, salads, charcuterie and other takeaway items. If you love to shop local, stop into Grape + Bean. It will make you love where you live.

Just stopped by for the first time after passing by for years. The gentleman working was warm and friendly. He also made the most delicious white chocolate mocha I've ever tasted - not too sweet, just right. The coffee prices cant be beat. Definitely swinging by again when I'm back in Del Ray.

Let me start off by saying the food tasted good. Not amazing, but it was fine. My issue is portion size in relation to the price I paid. Got my order to take home so I asked for my soup to be put in a cup. The server was very nice and put it in a 12 oz for me. I opened the cup to see that I had maybe a half full cup of soup for which I paid $10. I at least expected it to be a bigger portion than that for $10. It's a butternut squash soup, not something with super expensive ingredients. Also, a $14 ham and cheese sandwich with no sides? The food, while good, did not justify the prices I paid. May be back for coffee, not food.

Stopped in for first time, staff member immediately told me what was on tap. I ordered a Lil Witt, staff member told me I could drink it inside or outside. good beer, great staff, fantastic experience. Thanks G&B!

I have previously reviewed the food but since they just started serving coffee I thought I would put up another review of the new breakfast offerings. This is my second time in for coffee and grape and bean is quickly becoming my go to spot for my morning caffeine pick me up. The espresso is so smooth with great crema on top and the iced drinks are top notch. They are still getting fully operational but will soon have frappes as well and they have nightingale ice cream bars if you are in on the food trend and looking for them. I recommend you add them to your morning routine!
