    Colada Shop is my favorite happy hour in DC- the drinks are great, the patio is lovely, and Andres took great care of us. It's the perfect place to stop before a show at Black Cat.. Can't wait to come back!

    I love the colada shop! I've ordered from here by delivery, takeout, and dine-in. They have a cortadito which is hard to find. Their breakfast empanada is DELICIOUS, and I like their sofritas wrap as well. Any time I'm even remotely in the area I'll stop by for a little treat. The vibes here are good, there's lots of seating, good music, free water, and the people who work here have always been pleasant.

    This is one of my new favorite cafés! The food and coffee were all excellent. I love their creative take on traditional Cuban dishes, including the plantain butter tostadas and guava oat cookie. Plenty of indoor and outdoor seating as well and great vibes all around. I will definitely be back!

    I don't think I can recommend this place. I sat at a rooftop table #41 and ordered from the QR code. Then waited and waited. After 25 minutes I walked down to see what was happening with my order. I found my sandwich sitting on a counter, I walked it back to my table. And then went back for my beer. These places need to improve their service. I've never experienced this bad service in quite some time. The sandwich wasn't too bad, after I asked them to heat it up for me.
