The Coffee Bar

TCB is that go-to neighborhood cafe where you have a regular order. A perfect spot for a high quality cup of coffee, where you see neighbors with their dogs hanging out outside, and a cozy environment indoors.This place is bustling on the weekend but service is still pretty fast as they have an assembly line going! There isn't a ton of space inside but you can most likely find a spot on a weekday They make a great Americano and ask you what your bean preference is. Also an outstanding dirty chai! One of my fave coffee places in DC!

Super close to the Airbnb I was staying at! It's my coworkers' favorite spot.Tons of outdoor seating too.Staff is super friendly and never seem stressed despite the long lines. It gets pretty busy around 8am on weekdays. People will already be on their laptops working.I came by a couple times. Tried the seasonal cardamom latte (only comes hot) and an iced vanilla latte. Delicious! Not strong on the espresso.My friends also enjoyed the chai, cappuccino, and lattes.Love it here!

Amazing vibes and amazing coffee. Absolutely love grabbing their coffee to sip on for my walks. Their vanilla latte is creamy, sweet and brewed perfectly. Also for DC 5 dollars for a latte is a crazy good price. This place is the epitome of cozy fall vibes

Quick and efficient service with super friendly baristas. I always see people waiting outside for it to open at 8am and finally wanted to try it again. I only purchased a latte but it was super enjoyable. I appreciated that they offer a choice of espresso, but one is an up charge. Great seating area but limited space and no cover in hot sun or rain. A few seats and a high top inside. I'll be back to my neighborhood coffee bar!

had to visit the coffee bar two days in a row (and here is why) day 1: I got an iced vanilla latte with oat, it was good, but not great and I felt like I needed to give it another shot day 2: I got an iced dirty chai with oat, and this drink was IT - the right shade of beige, the right amount of ice and spiceoverall TCB is a cute neighborhood coffee shop that is well-worth a visit, however, it is pricey (but, where isn't at this point anymore?)

I genuinely appreciate their coffee, and it provides an excellent environment for both reading and engaging in conversations. The establishment offers both indoor and outdoor seating options. While their food selections may not be particularly inspiring, they are sufficient to meet basic needs.For that reason, I purchased a pastry from a nearby bakery and got a latte from the coffee bar. I settled in to enjoy my coffee and work while reading. However, halfway through my pastry and enjoying my latte, a staff member approached me to inform me that outside food is not permitted. She said she could pack my food for me, and then walked away and never came back. Which left me, to say the least, confused. While this policy is understandable, it would be beneficial to have it clearly posted somewhere prior to ordering so that patrons are aware. The targeted nature of this policy left me with a somewhat negative experience. Anyways Seylou has great pastries right down the road!

One of my favorite vanilla lattes in the city. I came on a friday afternoon, and there was no long line. They were pretty crowded with people working and people hanging out. I didn't have to wait long for my iced vanilla latte. It was so tasty. No complaints at all. I'm gonna keep coming back here.

Came here for the first time with a friend last weekend and was so happy to have discovered this little gem! I don't drink coffee (I know, I know), so I judge coffee shops by their chai, and the one at the Coffee Bar was very good! Not overly spiced or overwhelmingly sweet. It was a bit on the foamier side, so there was less actual beverage than I would have wanted ideally, but it was very good, and they made it very quickly. The whole place is not very large, and so on a rainy Saturday it was understandably packed, but the atmosphere was still lovely. Nice seating options (including outside, when it isn't gross outside) and cool decor. Lots of people hanging out with a book, which I love to see.

I love this place! Such a cute, cozy interior with incredible staff and great quality coffee drinks. The only drawback is the lack of seating. There is a decent amount of outdoor seating and some seats inside, but if you go on a nice day, good luck finding a place to sit. When I went, there was a line that filled up the place but despite that, it moved quickly and I got my drink after only 5 minutes or so of waiting! They know how to keep it moving. While there, I ordered a cappuccino and highly recommend it. It's strong, which I love! However, I tried to sit inside and do work (since all the outdoor seats were taken), but since it was so busy inside I had a hard time getting settled. So this is definitely a place to either stop in quickly to get coffee or come for fun and enjoy the outdoor space. I'll definitely try to come back in the Fall to enjoy the outdoor seating.

I saw this on a list of best coffee shops so of course I had to check it out! The first thing I noticed walking inside was the lively atmosphere and customers ranging from students to young professionals. There was a fairly large, boisterous group that because of the small size of the place, made it a bit too loud to comfortably read, but other than that, it was great. I had a hazelnut latte while my boyfriend had a mocha. Both were great. They had your typical pastries but also a selection of biscotti that were really tasty! They have outdoor seating, bar seating, and some comfy chairs. Their service was quick and very friendly.
