This was next-door to Hotel Lombardi and was a perfect place to meet up with colleagues during a business trip. I didn't have any of the food, but I enjoyed a delicious vanilla latte topped off with a beautiful design in my phone... Was very quick and we were very pleased with the ability to sit in a table off by ourselves.

They told me that .. this is one of the best coffee place in DC after the first sip I said yes! Ambiance is very clear and it's a good spot for business meeting.. complmentry cookies was good too

Incredible. I got invited to breakfast with a friend and I'll be honest, I never heard of For Five coffee before. I'm glad I went! There's lots of seats, and even some at the counter area. People were working on their laptops while enjoying their food. The service was quick and we were offered some additional in-sight regarding the menu. Berry French Toast Coffee | Raspberry Tea | Ice Coffee Full pastry bar with lots to choose from Breakfast sandwich - would never have tried it and it was my favorite thing we ordered Seating area, plenty of room Raspberry tea 10/10 give me 5 more Cinnabon, delicious Steak and eggs - definitely 5 stars Parking is streetside with ParkMobile meters available and also a district parking meter machine. There's also a parking garage if you do not want to run the risk of having a $50-$100 ticket. I was able to park right up front with no issues. Loved the place and will definitely return!

I came here to do some work for a little bit, and was pleasantly surprised by the service and the food. Luckily, I went on a day when they weren't busy at all and also it was closer to closing time. I was looking for a vegan pastry and some coffee originally, but after asking the guy at the front, I found out they don't have any vegan pastries. He offered me their vegan chicken salad sandwich & I was surprised on the portion size. It's a pretty big sandwich, I ended up having to take half home. I'd give it a solid 6/10 , it needed to be seasoned more and the bread needed to be crunchier to offset the texture of the chicken salad. The employees were very kind and went above and beyond to make sure to cater to my dairy allergy which was very sweet. The overall ambiance of the cafe gives your typical cafe, the coffee is pretty good. Would definitely come here again.
