Lot 38 Espresso Bar

I'm not even a real coffee drinker and I love this place. My favorite food item is the chicken pesto panini - one of the few takeout sandwiches that is just as good reheated as it is the first time! If more places had cappuccinos as good as this one, then maybe I'd have to consider becoming a coffee drinker. :) the people who work here are SO kind!!

Came in here at 8am on a Sunday. Few customers in there but my order was taken right away & I got my food/drink a few minutes later.All I can say is: Best dirty chai latte I've ever had. Super good and very reasonably priced- most places charge you a LOT more!! Pretty good bagel, nothing too special but solid and satisfied my craving. I wish I knew there were other types of bagels bc I definitely would've gotten something other than a plain bagel. As far as the inside- pretty small first floor but I think they have tables and a larger space upstairs. I saw signs that they offer free WiFi so could be a good study/work space. Also, there is park across the street that is a great place to enjoy a cup of coffee! Overall- super good cafe and can't beat the prices for what you get (seems like I found the neighborhood coffee spot)!!

The coffee and food are consistent and exactly what I need to start my day right. Great breakfast sandwiches like your classic bacon egg and cheese. Service is warm and welcoming and it makes you want to return if you're a local. Kuddos to Young, Ginnie, and Sara for running a great coffee shop!

We were so happy they were open on Memorial Day! Their service is great and their prices are reasonable. A bagel and cream cheese is less than half of what my hotel was charging, so definitely worth a little walk. The breakfast sandwich is yummy, I love Illy coffee so that was a bonus.

Best coffee shop in DC and possibly anywhere! Have been coming here since they first opened.

Very convenient to the courtyard next door. The Sausage, Egg and cheese on a ciabatta is extremely delicious! coffee is delicious cause they use illy beans! Food comes out very quick. Definitely recommend if you're in the area and looking to pay reasonable prices ...

Great coffee, I haven't tried the food. A pretty nice spot to do work at, but otherwise I'd probably just take a coffee to go. It's not much of a place to hang out. The first door is where you place your order and pick up and the full upstairs is seating!

Managed to stop by before 2pm. I really should get out of my apartment more. But wow, this place has the best dirty chai I've had in the DMV area! I've read wonderful things about their sandwiches too so I will definitely be back. Service was quick and friendly.

This is my favorite local coffee shop!! Family-owned. Great service. And lovely seating area on the second floor. Tasty coffee, breakfast, and lunch fare.

A must if you are in Navy Yard! Locally owned BEST coffee and wonderful service by the Lot 38 crew! Breakfast and lunch sandwiches, croissants/bagels that sort of thing too. Everyone coming and going is always so friendly! There's a nice upstairs sitting area with WiFi. Skip the burnt roast down farther down the street and go get a real cup of Joe :)
