The coffee made by Illy Cafe is molto bene! It's worth paying extra for to get beans that haven't been burned or roasted too long. Caio.

There is always a selection of types of coffee to choose from, ranging from the very bold to medium roasts. If you're feeling like something a little different, their espresso drinks are also fantastic.

I am a two cups of coffee (at least) a day kind of gal. Most importantly the coffee is delicious, there is almost always a place to sit and they have drink specials everyday. I would rate Big Bear Cafe as equally good (but Chinatown might be more accessible to people).

Adorable and cute, with authentic French Macaron's and a cup of coffee, a perfect European style afternoon

Open City Sister restaurant to Tryst Coffee House Bar and Lounge, Open City deserves first place for bringing quality beans and caffeines to the breakfast scene. Right over the Calvert Bridge, Open City boasts baristas who have perfected the espresso experience, and better yet, can also call on a server to bring a freshly made omelett to complement the morning joe.

Tryst --innovative coffee, plus the Washington Carver, which is my favorite caffeinated beverage ever.

Like your coffee unadulterated? Great way to get an unobstructed view of quality.

Big Bear Cafe. A little off the beaten path on 1st and R, NW, in Bloomingdale, but they do a great French press at a great price. Uber-hipsterish vibe.

Illy Cafe. Best beans in town. Hands down.
Would you mind trying to describe the coffee like a sommelier does wine, i.e., pretentiously? I'd be interested to see the aromas and flavors laid bare.

I can tell you this much. As soon as I so much as smell it, I feel like I can run 30 laps around my office building.
