The Ministry - Washington DC

I work just around the corner from this shop, and I make it my morning routine to always stop in and grab a quick cold brew and a tasty treat (try the banana bread, blueberry muffin, or avocado toast). Don’t forget to come back in the afternoon for a delicious selection of wines and other food like pan de queijo! I noticed in other reviews that some folks were uncomfortable with mask requirements; however, when you are a small business with a very small staff, extra precautions must be taken to ensure that people can stay healthy and continue to come to work. This isn’t just for the people working there, but for the customers. I’m happy to support this small business that puts the safety of its customers and staff first.

This is by far one of the cutest places in DC for a quick bite and coffee! The staff was amazing and seemed very familiar with their customers. The owner was there when I dropped by she was so nice and patient with my order...I had my two little indecisive ones with me. The food was great and the drinks were PERFECT! if you're ever around you must drop in the decor alone is worth it !!!

Fantastic atmosphere, and the owner is very professional and friendly and continuing to take good precautions against COVID-19, even while the government is carelessly abandoning restrictions. The iced mocha I had was one of the best I’ve ever had in the DC area.

In town from Cincinnati and desperately needed a bite after going to the Smithsonian Natural History Museum. My partner and I chose this place and it was freaking awesome. His grilled cheese and my sunflower toast were both PHENOMENAL and my iced earl grey/his quad shot 'le jim ' were both amazing! We had a lovely time. Love that they check vaccine cards for dine-in guests require masks. Super sweet staff, great atmosphere. Felt very welcome and comfy. Thank you!!!!

Delicious food (super avocado toast! , great coffee, and such friendly service. So good I went twice on a recent trip to DC. The owner recognized me on day two and was so kind and welcoming. I especially appreciated their attention to COVID safety for their guests and their staff. I'll definitely be back. Can't recommend highly enough!
