Roasting Plant

Stopped by Roasting Plant Coffee while in DC for a business trip, and out of all the coffee spots I tried, this one is hands down a must-have if you're in the area. The experience here is top-notch--from the incredible coffee selection to the outstanding service.Their coffee bean selection is superb, offering a variety of options at great prices. I tried both the Brazilian and Guatemalan beans, and each cup was fresh, bold, and perfectly brewed. The ham and cheese panini is also a must-try--warm, crispy, and packed with flavor.Shoutout to our server, Ezana, who got our order right every time across all three visits. His service was excellent, making the experience even better. If you're a coffee lover or just looking for a great spot to grab a quality cup, Roasting Plant Coffee is the place to go!

Coffee- love the concept of being able to choose your beans for your drinks and having them roast onsite. Makes for tons of different coffee options.They employees were good to recommend options!Food- what food? Everything was basically sold out and the option I chose that didn't have a "sold out" sticker was also sold out... I get hangry quick and this was not fun for me. After sitting down they forgot to make the sandwich I did order.. waited 10minutes thinking they were making stuff from scratch.No, it was frozen and they just needed to heat it up.They also ran out of plates, so they give me a cardboard box to eat out of.The shop itself is really cool and aesthetically pleasing. As a plant person, I love the monsteras all over.Come here for the coffee. Enjoy THAT experience

So many options of beans to buy was really cool. They're inside is very futuristic and clean. They have a deal where if you buy coffee, beans, you get a free cup! Pretty cool way to taste what you just bought.Their menu has the coffee staples, but not much for flavors other than there are two seasonal options which are pretty pricey (or at least when I asked the employee for flavor options, he only listed those 2 and no other options or syrups lol). I got a Toasted Oat Chai which was delicious but extremely tiny for its $7 price tag. I wish the price matched the value better.Employees were kind and very helpful. They made our orders incredibly fast which I really appreciated.Plenty of seating and a great vibe to the restaurant. They keep water cups out as well which I thought was very hospitable

Biggest regret was that I didn't take photos. I loved that I could order any roast as an iced coffee, I did the Peruvian blend and it was delicious. Plus they had a decent chocolate croissant which always scores bonus points in my book. Fast and easy coffee service.

I'm confused about all the positive reviews. I don't know if I went on the wrong day or ordered the wrong thing, but I just didn't care much for my visit. The guy at the register looked like he hated being there or he was falling asleep. The barista, on the other hand, was friendly. Unfortunately, his friendliness wasn't enough to make up for the lukewarm and overall unmemorable pumpkin latte. Needless to say, I don't plan on going back.

Excellent. Lattes are great and you can choose the bean you would like. Also they have really good baked goods. I would recommend the croissants. Any type!

Good coffee! Nice looking pastries. The whurr of freshly roasted beans service was fast and friendly.

ground beans used, multiple choices, but otherwise made without love and could improve on the ratios of flat white and latte.

Solid coffee addition to the area, very cool mechanism inside for moving beans around through the tubes once you place your order. There are a number of options for beans with helpful flavor notes to customize your drinks. I've had a few drinks now and the baristas/espresso has been pretty good - on the more expensive side but pulled well. The pistachio latte is fun (made with pistachio milk), we've had them make some custom espresso seltzer/tonic drinks which have been decent, they serve sizes up to 20oz I think. Pastries are made by bluebird (check out pluma near union market). Friendly service on all visits

Got a decaf medium latte with almond milk and sugar free hazelnut cafe. Unfortunately by sugar free they meant alternative sugar which i did not want and was not expecting. Also, its super expensive. The seating and cibe is great and you could sit here for hours and work but 7.37 for a medium coffee, I'll say no thank you for the next time.
