Rue Cafe

I originally came for their Yelp Elite event & I fell in love with their seasonal muffin & latte (both Pumpkin Spice). I decided to return & I was not disappointed!Last time, I ordered the Chicken Salad Sandwich. This time, I decided to order either their Turkey & Swiss or the Avo Turkey & added bacon. it was really good! The staff was friendly about giving me condiments so I greatly appreciate that. The cream cheese icing on the Pumpkin Spice muffin is so delightful & a nice touch to it in combination to the latte. For my latte, I added more Pumpkin Spice flavor & sweetness to it.I will say I think they should update their online menu to reflect their in-store menu. Additionally, seating can be tough because it is a small cozy shop. Whenever I am in the area, I make it a point to visit to get my fix.

Sitting in Rue cafe is like being transported to Brooklyn ,NY. The coffee is excellent . The chairs are comfy. The tea selection is superb. There is no music. People bring their laptops and spend the morning quietly and respectfully.Their baked goods are mediocre. The croissants are better. We ave been back 6 times in the last two weeks . We will be back ....again and again .

Rue Cafe is a super cute coffee shop on 14th Street and has really nice vibes--a perfect place to get work done and enjoy a drink, pastry, or sandwich. They have free wifi too which is awesome (especially as a college student who can't work anywhere BUT coffee shops). The Italian sandwich was insane. It is very unassuming, but when I say that I could eat ten of these, I mean it. I was sad when I finished eating it and had none left. I would go back for this hands down. The latte was fine. I didn't get any of the biscoff flavor which was kinda sad--it was quite bitter. I added Splenda and it was better, but I wish I could taste more biscoff. They do have alternative milks too which is great considering I prefer oat milk!The staff are all very sweet and everything came out quickly! Definitely would say you should come try their food and if you need somewhere to study, this is a good spot to go to.

I really enjoy my time every time that I visit Rue Cafe. Parking is very easy since there's 2 hour parking in the neighborhood right across the street. Their dirty chai is delicious and reasonably priced. I'm glad that when you dine in with them they provide you with a mug opposed to a disposable cup. I also ordered an egg croissant which was filling and seasoned well. The barista was very helpful with getting me set up on the wifi. I was there for a couple of hours and throughout the time there was a nice steady flow of customers with a seating option always available. There was also a plug right next to the seat that I was working at so that was a plus. Highly recommend this coffee shop if you're in the Columbia heights area.

The BEST cortado I've had in DC! I got mine with a hint of their pistachio flavoring, and it was perfect--not too sweet. The atmosphere is super cozy, making it perfect for catching up with friends or getting some remote work done. The staff was so friendly and made my drink with such efficiency and care. Can't wait to come back soon!

Iced coffee always-even when it's 40 degrees outside. Rue cafe is a gem. Everything about it is so cozy. It is perfect to study or read a book or meet up with a friend. The coffee was great. Super sweet and creamy. The hazlenut latte is my new favorite. Also had a veggie bagel that was delicious. And not outrageously priced. Baristas are friendly and the whole vibe is really nice. I'll be back soon for sure.

New find for my husband and me! We came and had the best breakfast and coffee there this morning. That staff was friendly and there was plenty of space and good WiFi to hangout! I had the breakfast panini, which had a nice kick to it, and my husband had the breakfast bagel, which had a ton of bacon on it. Lovely experience and will def be back!

It's always a good time when I visit. Lots of seating for those WFH days. Food options and drink options a plenty. Service is always great.

My first time trying Ethiopian coffee and it did not disappoint! On top of that trying Rue Cafes fall drinks was even more intriguing. First thoughts are clean, cozy and friendly vibes. Most tables inside were taken by people working on their laptops and the outside patio area was nicely shaded and more laid back. I went with their iced pumpkin spice latte. The one thing that stood out to me is this truly tasted like a mix of pumpkin and fall spices. The balance was perfect! I usually prefer sweeter drinks and asked the baristas which was the sweetest one. They mentioned all their fall drinks are on the sweeter side and any drink can be made sweeter by request. Mine was perfectly sweet without any alterations, but the employees were nice enough to let me try it first and they'd adjust it accordingly.I grabbed a table inside because I also ordered a lemon bar which is one of my favorite bakery items. It was delicious! I love all the little pumpkins and fall decor at each table too. It's a bit of a walk from the metro but not terrible. Overall this was a super cute cafe!

Love this coffee shop service is super nice and friendly and has great stuff. Great place to sit and do work has a chill vibe.Got some lemon bars, tres laches, and a macha. Macha was super flavorful and well balanced. Not too sweet and has a nice matcha flavor and some sweetness from the strawberry.Food was excellent had
