Large cafe cortado (with condensed milk) is strong and delicious, presuming you like expresso drinks a little sweeter. Service is very good. Be sure to ask for a punch card. Every 10th drink is free.
Xinia GabrielaOctober 10, 2013OHMAGAH the latte arequipe is heaven in a cup. I wish I lived/worked in the area to have it everyday (or maybe it's best that I don't).
LiLLiES RestaurantOctober 24, 2012Try the Beet Salad! It's excellent. Along with the homemade hummus and soups. The specials change daily. I have never been disappointed here. Hidden gem!
Asri TriesnasariMay 10, 2014Not only that they have a very nice strong coffee, but also best warm snacks.. Perfect for those who crave for 2nd breakfast & elevenses.. Saltena, corn breads, empanadas..
I second the tip about the Campesino. Also, if your Spanish is good, this is also a great place for conversation; met many wonderful folks here from Worldbank & Organization of American States.
Steven AndrophyNovember 27, 2014The latte arequipe is the best. The only bad thing about this place is that it isn't open on weekends.
LeelaJuly 30, 2013delicious coffee, decent Colombian pastries (pan de bono is the best of the bunch).
Frank RoysAugust 22, 2011Amazing breakfast sandwich with egg, ham, cheese and some kind of mildly hot sauce that really wakes you up!- If it's too warm for a hot beverage, try the Nonfat Coffee Nevado, without whipped cream, or the regular with whipped, if calories aren't a concern.
Try a Cortado. It's a combo of condensed milk and espresso. Hard to find this drink at most coffee joints.- Asri TriesnasariJune 20, 2014Saltena, cheese empanadas, carrot cake, with regular hot coffee.. Yum yumm..
Tom MaxwellApril 24, 2016Ample seating and free WiFi at this cafe centrally located to GWU. The cappuccino was just OK.- Make sure to ask for a punch card when you order a drink. After every 10 beverages, you'll get one free.
Sam KallevigOctober 6, 2010The pecan bar is amazing. Goes well with the campesino or any other coffee.
Gwynne KostinNovember 18, 2010Once you drink Juan's, Starbux is like walmart. The simple cafe con leche is sublime.
The Campesino is my favorite drink here, and no other coffee shop around town has anything like it. Give it a try!
Jeffrey BurkaMarch 15, 2013Not as good as visiting a Juan Valdez Cafe in Colombia, but they still make a decent campesino.
JohnSeptember 17, 2012This place is only for real coffee drinkers. Amateurs should stay out and settle for Starbucks.
Go to Juan Valdez Café and try a double espresso with arequipe, yum!
Scott McConnellJune 28, 2010Coffee-time, Register isn't working, if you don't have cash they are offering "IOU's". Very trustworthy.
