Contribute Feedback What Emily Pirie likes about Black Coffee:
Love this place! Have been going to Black Coffee for about 3 years now and it is one of my favorite coffee shops in the city. The baked good are outstanding, especially the cheddar biscuits! Although I always get black coffee (as in no cream), it always tastes fresh and perfectly brewed! Love the ample outdoor seating and the fact that the cafe is located well outside the busy DC center. One of the good places in DC! View all feedback.
What Emily Pirie doesn't like about Black Coffee:
This used to be one of our favorite breakfast places in the area, but they changed their menu and now, it's kind of a bummer. They used to have this amazing vegan breakfast sandwich..not even vegan, but it was breakfast perfection. The last time we got breakfast there was a few weeks ago and we grabbed these breakfast burrito bowls to go and when we got home it was like a sad salad with an egg on it. The pastries we...

The ham and cheese croissant is AMAZING, very cheesy and flavorful. The salmon is extremely fresh and delicate. 10/10
Honeycrisp apple cider was a perfect cold morning treat! Pretty interior and great pastries!
Great for weekend breakfast. Pancakes are always good and the vegetarian breakfast bowl is my favorite. Rise Up coffee is delicious. Patio seating is spacious and comfortable.
The food and coffee were delicious. I had a breakfast sandwich with bacon and it was just how I like it runny egg, perfectly cooked bacon (not too crispy), yummy brioche bun. I got an oat milk cortado and a late for my friend to go. The reason I don't give 5 stars it took forever for the drinks. It was about 10am, so not rush hour, but they were busy. 2 baristas working. I used to be a barista, so I get it. But the barista was grumpy when I checked with her about whether the drinks on the counter were mine. I also wasnt given a number for my drinks or told where to pick up my food, so my food sat in a corner on a table or of sight until I figured it out. I waited about 15m for my 2 drinks. Overall not totally smooth running and took way too long to get my to go drinks. But I'll go back bc the food was so good!
I'm always impressed with the quality of the food. Today was buttermilk pancakes with bacon and coffee. Go early on Sundays bc it gets busy!
