Got some coffee when in DC. This place sold an ok cup of drip coffee. I did ask for the barista to keep some room for cream which he didn't do. I ended up throwing a bit of the coffee away to put in the cream. The creamers were put in another section of the coffee shop. There were a ton of seating at this coffee shop and I liked the ambiance of the place.

This is a nice local coffee shop in the business district. A lot of people in the morning, mostly office workers from the surrounding area. The personnel is nice and busy. Coffee tastes good.

Great coffee shop on 14th Street downtown. Pretty large space with lots of single/duo seating and with lots of natural light through the floor to ceiling windows. The vibe ebbs and flows with the number of people - quieter to much louder when full. The staff handles the busy times well. Nice selection of coffees and parties. They have autumn flavors on the menu now.

This was so good! I ordered one of the seasonal drinks (honey lavender latte) with almond milk. And decaf, because it was the afternoon. The drink was so pretty and tasted as good as it looked!

I had the best service here! I literally stood there (I'm so indecisive) and talked to the people working until they picked out a drink for me lol. My drink was so tasty, but I don't know what it was since they made a special blend for me! I mean look at the latte art! They took their time and really do well with their craft. If I lived here this would be a regular spot for me

Officially, Swings Coffee is my new favorite people-watching coffee house in Washington D.C. Why? First of all, because of the customer service. The amazing baristas named Grace & Shreez (I'm sorry if I misspelled) were friendly and polite. There is positive vibes only in this spot-- I loved it! Second of all, location could not get any better since it's right off the Metro Canter station. There are scooters all over the place too. I imagine it would be hard to park your car, but I saw a parking garage in the opposite side of the shop if you really have to drive. Or street parking, maybe. My first drink was Latte with oat milk and second drink was mocha with oat milk, both delicious. Don't you dare judge me for drinking too much coffee :) I had to get a lot of sh*t done on this rainy Thursday. Haha! But I have to mention it's not the taste that makes this spot my favorite. It's the customer service and this prime location.
