    The sliders are so good that it's almost inappropriate; they go perfectly with a glass of the Duck Pond Syrah. (Even better w/ 2.) Also yum: the affogato brownie/ vanilla ice cream/espresso shot combo

    Nutella coffee brings all the girls to the yard but really everything here is top notch. Grilled cheese is legit and world cuisine specials are on point as well.

    Probably the best, local coffee shop in the area. Great lattes and a really cute back area that's great for reading or catching up with a friend

    Like everyone says, the nutella lattes are life-changing, but if you're up for something else the honey pear iced tea and ultimate grilled cheese are delicious, too.

    I come here for the 90s R&B and to work on my thesis b/c #thisisthe90s ... but for reals, nice ambiance, good foods, and one day I'll try the Nutella latte.

    Had the latte of the day (Samoan aka girl scout cookie flavor - coconut and mocha) which was amazing. However $6+ for a latte is no bueno.

    Their Nutella latte is fantastic. It retains a good coffee flavor while having the perfect subtle hint of chocolatey Nutella.

    Nutella latte iced = equally delicious. WiFi is weak on the back patio, but it's where you want to be on a nice day.

    Decaf iced vanilla latte always makes me feel refreshed! Not too sweet, not too plain- just the taste you are dreaming of for it!

    Croissants are not crunchy at all, which is too bad. Coffee is excellent and great place to linger.

    Bring your laptop and sit at the 3-seat bar. Music's always great and so are the baristas!

    I love their Nutella Lattes, but they are even better with just one shot of espresso. You taste more of that Nutella goodness!

    The Hot Nutella is great. Good place to read, but it can get full on the weekends.

    Yes you can get Hot Chocolate here, but next time go for a Hot Nutella if you haven't already! It maybe the choice you go for mostly!

    If you're as obsessed with nutella as I am, this place is a dream. Also has a library of travel books in the back.

    The owner's a confirmed foodie, and they put a lot into their lunch specials. I haven't had one that wasn't delicious.

    Great spot. Check the hours closely; on some days the cafe closes at 4 pm.

    Coffeeshop or brunch may be good, but go elsewhere for dinner. Sliders are ok but Mac & cheese, pasta, service, and the waitress's unfamiliarity with the menu made for a mediocre at best experience

    Curried chicken salad wrap is the bomb! Love the large, fun straws they give with the smoothies. :)

    Try a bottle of Tevolution with your meal! Delicious tea from a DC company that donates $.25 to great charities for every bottle sold!

    Waited more than 15 min to order a glass of wine while the waiter sat and chatted with the only other customer in the bar. Then he tells me they shut off the wifi in the evening. Won't return.

    Check for a seat before ordering food. May be best to go somewhere else due to the wi-fi crowd.
