MerveJanuary 11, 2017Best latte and hot chocolate in DC area.Gelato is amazing, I can easily say, the best gelato I've ever eaten in U.S. Alfajore and croissant is so delicious.Cosy environment.I love and miss this place.
EssexApril 18, 2015You can get an awesome breakfast in the same spot you can get delectable gelato. Don't forget the sticky buns! Pass up Starbucks for this neighborhood gem and thank me later!
Its name is a misnomer. You may come for the gelato, but you'll come back for the coffee. Cappuccinos are top quality; they also have quality pour over options.
MMJune 27, 2015latte and alfajores make a perfect pair - with excellent playlist to linger longer! ham and cheese croissants are rich and yummy.
Sarah BanaMarch 28, 2013I definitely recommend the tiramisu gelato. Try the multiple flavored sorbettos: they're absolutely amazing. The avocado, honey and orange is a real treat.
Mike MihaylovJune 21, 2014Great espresso, delicious gelato. Buy a jar of the dulce de leche, it's amazing
Deandra TanFebruary 17, 2014Stumptown coffee, salted caramel gelato, and chocolate amargo are all highlights of this cozy little shop. Limited seating at window or central table.
My favorite gelato place in DC! Get anything! Also great coffee and friendly service!
The coffee and the ice cream is fabulous. Very good affogato. The environment is cozy, the staff is friendly. Loved it.
Jorge EnriqueMarch 4, 2013I'd say it's been my spot for a while and being near the window makes it a better coffee experience! Good coffee makers in my list!
The coffee is to die for. As is the maple walnut gelato! Love this place. Save up for a bit as its pricey.
farnazAugust 31, 2021The taste of gelato is great but the place is so simple and the staff could smile and do better
AbDecember 28, 2016Great cappuccino. Their gingerbread cookies are easy to overlook but not easy to forget.
Elizabeth MitchellJune 15, 2014Amazing coffee, pastries and gelato. Staff is super friendly and knowledgable. Love this place.
Emily DoongSeptember 4, 2014You haven't had mint chip until you've had it here! You can really taste the fresh mint. Bit pricey tho...
Tyler HastingsOctober 24, 2014Good coffee and gelato. Limited food. Worth it for the Game of Thrones table.
My absolute favorite gelato spot. I had the dulce de leche with strawberry...it was divine!
The coffee is delicious! Churros with dulce de leche very good as well :)
Anna EbbesenDecember 6, 2011Lovely atmosphere, some of the best coffee in DC (aren't a lot around) and free wifi (2022999116).
In the summer: lemon opal basil, in the winter apple + salted caramel
Grrrrrreat coffee! The place is tiny and usually packed so take it to go...
The Blueberry Lemon Thyme and Mango Habenero Lime, chico size, is an amaaaaaaaazing combination. Try not to eat it all before you're out of the long checkout line.
Salted caramel is divine and chocolate is rich and wonderful.
Same price and twice as good as the starbucks across the street.....amazing croissants too- If you're early enough, get an alfajor! Just like your (Argentine) grandmother makes them!
- Try their lemon basil ice-cream (only available in the summer.)
Jed LunarioJuly 9, 2011Frozen yogurt what?!? It's all about gelato! The pistachio is to die for! I wanna bathe in it.
There's a loyalty are that gives you a free coffee after ten purchases, but they seem to be out...
Get the light and crisp palmier with a touch of sweetness. best I've had in DC.
Sanjeev SreetharanMarch 15, 2014what would be an average espresso in NYC, sorry krishnan, but is also the best in Bethesda.
