We ordered two great pour overs and a bakwan. Coffee was great, but maybe a tad over extracted for my liking. Medium light roast. The bakwan was tasty as well, but very greasy as you would expect for a friend snack. Taste notes for the frinsa: lemongrass and lime, then followed by baking spice. Taste notes for the wanoja: sweet rum, lemonade, and baking spices again.

This is a very nice coffee shop! The menu has a lot of options and service was pleasant. It is a small store but they have a decent amount of places to sit and it was very cozy. I had a Brown Aren Latte, highly recommend if you want a specialty drink but don’t like coffee too sweet. It has a lovely balanced flavor.

A nice cafe for a quick stop. There’s some indoor and outdoor seating but mainly to go for coffee. I had one of their signature lattes and it was great!

Excellent coffee and super friendly staff. If you care about quality coffee, this is the spot in DC. Not only the coffee, but the engaging team made us feel at home. Our experience was so good that we went out of our way to go back twice in one day. Espresso and Cortado both 10/10!

Loved discovering a halal cafe in DC! We had a smooth latte and delicious beef empanadas—perfect comfort food on a chilly day.

Stopped for a coffee and a snack. The drip coffee was brewed well. The beef empanada was heated up and tasty good but after heating became very flimsy and almost soggy. I liked the mix option seating with in door and outdoor, group spaces, and individual spots on the bench with a side table. I was hopeful to buy beans but they were sold out on the shelf and the 5 people working did not know if there were any more individual beans around the store.

Finally tried this spot on the way to the office and I loved it! Ordered a cappuccino with oat milk and croissant. The cappuccino tasted rich and now I wish I ordered just an espresso shot to taste the coffee on its own. Very good quality beans! The croissant was also delicious - buttery and flaky! Not sure if they make it in house or if they order it from a local spot, but went well with the cappuccino. There is seating in the back and looked very cozy. Service was quick and friendly :-) I might try to sit and read here next time. Highly recommend!

One of the best coffeeshops I’ve been to. These folks are meticulous and specialize in roasting and brewing Indonesian coffee beans. I believe there were no other beans used at this location when I visited but I might be wrong. I should add that this might be the best Indonesian coffee I’ve tried. The place is cozy and minimally designed. Great for a date, a work from cafe day, or on top of all enjoying an excellent cup of coffee — which is the main reason why local coffeeshops exist, right? I’d become a regular if I lived in the area!
