AFAR MediaAugust 4, 2014Filter Coffeehouse is a gem that’s become a clear favorite of locals. The coffee is some of the best I’ve tried, ever. The place was extremely crowded both times, which is always a great sign. Read more
Brent MadisonJuly 4, 2015This is the best coffee in and around Dupont Square. It's probably the coolest shop in all of DC, housed in the basement of a brownstone on a quite side street.
C ReyAugust 11, 2017Love this garden level coffee bar that blends in with the neighborhood. Have an exceptional afternoon espresso and a bubbly water. You can also get some beans and basic brew equipment.
Tim FAugust 8, 2015I'm not gonna lie...this is an uppity coffee joint for serious coffee snobs. You can frown at the pretentiousness or dive in and enjoy a great cup of coffee. Or both, I guess.
Stephen PerleMarch 12, 2017Great selection of beer but way too cold for the ales. The coffee is great if you don't know much about coffee. My Aussie friend was amazed that anyone would recommend a place that scorches the milk
My favorite coffee shop in DC, despite my greater love of Peregrine's actual choice of coffee & espresso beans, simply because the owner rocks and all baristas really do know what's up. Free wi-fi. Read more
These good people serve Stumptown with a smile. A worthwhile espresso stop.
Get the Wolf melon berry (or is it wolf berry melon?) tea iced, add just a little agave syrup and you have Kool-Aid for grown ups. It's delicious and refreshing
Irena PierovaMarch 4, 2017one of the best pourovers in dc. i'm not a fan of espresso but here it's nice too
Get a latte sweetened with brown sugar. They perfectly steam their milk here.
Án GelJuly 19, 2012Are you kidding me? About 15 mins after I had my soy mocha latte, a cute barista asks out loud if somebody wanted an ice soy latte that she made by mistake...Ha! A five second gaze+smile did the job!
Eva d'AmbrosioFebruary 19, 2016Crowded and elitist but undeniably good. Warning that the French Press takes an incredibly long time to make. Even after the coffee brews, they push down the strainer extreeeeeemely slowly.
AskMenMarch 19, 2010Owner Rasheed Jabr will make sure to customize your experience no matter what kind of coffee you prefer: light roast, dark roast or something in between. D.C.’s an international city.
Joshua LittleAugust 23, 2015I loved this place. Super friendly people, community feeling, and, of course, excellent coffee.
Brionne GriffinSeptember 20, 2014Small space, but worth it. Ask the barista for a recommendation, and you'll undoubtedly learn something new.
Best espresso drinks in DC west of Big Bear. Friendly service, savvy baristas, and great cappuccino & cortado.
Samantha ReillyJune 8, 2016The people are so friendly and the Moroccan mint iced tea is perfect for a hot summer day walking to work
Best coffee in the neighborhood, if not the city. Can't go wrong with anything on the menu.
Celeb lookalike coffee shop! The barista looks like Rob Delaney & a patron looks like Macklemore. This place, in general, is pretty good but costs a deal more than I'd like to pay for coffee.
Charise Van LiewOctober 19, 2014Flat White is delicious:2 shots of espresso and 5 ounces of flat milk- The way the Sumatra is roasted gives it all kinds of flavor, which was not what I was expecting. I prefer mine more deep and subtle. It really does wonders for all the other coffees I tried, though, a
David DimmettMarch 13, 2013Nice place with a serious focus on well brewed coffee. Not much seating, but a nice place to meet for coffee.
Tammy GordonSeptember 10, 2011Filter makes gorgeous espresso drinks. Also, only place I know in DC that you can get a Flat White.
Emily M.March 19, 2015Drinks are good, but zero ambience. Only ideal if you are a mole and enjoy being in a dark space.
Decent pour over coffee, best espresso I tried in US so far.
Easily some of the best coffee in DC. They make a mean cortado
Calvin IJuly 1, 2011The staff is wonderful and the iced coffee is delicious :-) can't wait to try some of the other selections!
Delicious coffee and wonderful people, can be hard to find a seat. If you find one, grab it.
- Leandro LageraAugust 14, 2016Cute little hideaway of a coffee shop near DuPont. Needs more seats though.
The Ramsbury GroupJanuary 18, 2012Our favorite coffee in NW, but we're neighbors, so we're biased! Cash only if you're spending less than $5.
Best coffee in town - stop by and talk to Rasheed who owns the place. Really nice guy who serves up great coffee.
