Just went for the first time today and its great! They have a selection of V60 and other Hario and Fellow products for home brewers along with many single origin Ceremony coffees to buy. If youre a coffee geek, this is your place.The staff were very nice and showed me how to clean the thermos I got, and the Ethiopian pour over I got was delicious too. Definitely going back! Glad to have them open once more.

Great coffee and awesome staff. And I don’t say this lightly. I’ve been to every coffee shop in town and this is my favorite.

This place makes my day every morning. They source great coffees and know what to do with them. The staff is friendly, knowledgeable, and competent. The culture is accessible, but undeniably quality centric. Its not the experimental, multi-roaster, brew lab type place that I generally look for, but it is the dedicated, consistent, friendly, quality oriented place that Im stoked to have right next to my office.

This place is a good coffee shop. It has up stairs seating and downstairs standing room with bar tops and tables facing the street. There is no WiFi here, they encourage conversation. Upstairs is a dope rendition of DC in the future, a collaboration between artists and architects which is really cool. Im not a coffee guy but the person I was with said the coffee is really good. My chai was alright.

This place is 👌🏽. They sell coffee and some pastries, a welcome departure from Starbucks and some of the larger brands of coffee shop. They also embrace the idea that people should be connecting when they share each others presence. They have no wifi and signs denouncing laptop use in the shop, again, a welcomed departure from the norm. Ill be back!

Amazingly fast service even with it being packed! The ice coffee is really good. Definitely recommend.

Had a great chat about the coffees and got a well extracted pour over!

Good (but not truly exceptional) coffee, in a sterile and borderline commercial atmosphere. Coffee was made with care and was of top quality, and the baked good was decent, but the atmosphere leaves a lot to be desired.

I love this coffee shop. Filter continues to be the most consistent and most delicious coffee house in the city. Since their other location closed, I go out of my way to visit their original location. The staff is friendly and the space is nice. They also sell and array of coffee from Ceremony, a great company out of Annapolis.

Filter Coffeehouse sells a product that. Makes. You. Stop.The first three sips of the coffee they serve makes you forget your phone, your emails and the egg stain on your white shirt from breakfast. It makes you slow down and think of nothing else than enjoying whatever is in your cup. This is an extremely rare quality in any product these days, especially on a Tuesday morning going to the office.The coffee at my hotel was decent (not really), and the coffee at the office is OK (for a machine), but the coffee from Filter is the best Ive had in DC.Go there. There are also really nice people working there, that care about you and want to give you the best coffee experience youve had today.

Filter coffeehouse carefully prepares coffee roasted by Ceremony Coffee from Annapolis Maryland. Very small shop, timing is key when coming in to place an order. Mostly high tables to rub elbows and create conversation while enjoying your Ceremony pour over on the first floor. There is additional seating on the second level for roughly additional 10 to 12 individuals. Great place to enjoy a flat white, cappuccino, or I highly recommend a manual pour over coffee. I believe supplies are also available for sale behind the counter.

Best coffee shop in DC just reopened Nov 1. Lucky day!Great coffee. Human interaction with no wifi

Cute and cozy. No wifi by design. You meet people here and interact as humans. Leave business at the door. The food is okay but the coffee is always a pleasure to be had. Friendly and talkative staff. Stop by for a quaint and enjoyable time. Hours are perfect if you work in the city

Filter has awesome coffee - not over roasted and the cappuccini are my daily treat. Staff is super friendly and their chocolate muffins are the best, but the sell out quickly.

I love small coffee shops. Mainly because the quality is better. Like this place. Great tasting coffee brewed fresh. Loved the pastries as well. Great price point and service.

I don’t know my coffee well but my mocha tasted (and looked) good! It’s a small two story shop. The bottom floor seems to be mainly for standing & chatting. The top floor has some seating (wooden bench and cheap plastic chairs) and several rather small tables. Not a good work/study spot. I didn’t really enjoy the ambience here, but it’s probably good for a quick meetup.

Filter is one of the best coffee houses Ive been to. They are a little coffee shop but treat each cup with care so that you have a great cup of coffee every time. I really liked the upstairs area. If there was anything I didnt enjoy is that there werent enough seats to sit down when its busy, but youre going to have that with any place.

Closed for now... will be back

Filter is one of the quintessential coffee shops in DC. Well prepared drinks by a great staff. If you work in the area, this is one of the best places to grab coffee.

Got a iced 2% latte. Delicious, good flavor, not bitter. Definitely top tier place, maybe not my favorite but still great. They dont have WiFi and only a limited number of pastries. I wouldnt recommend for food, just the coffee. They were friendly. Id definitely go back, just a bit pricey

I was here yesterday with a work friend and we had lovely cortado. The coffee is tasty and very fresh. Filter has some of the best espresso in town. I highly recommend coming here if you are wanting a tasty coffee and a quick experience. I was in and out in 6 minutes.

Coffee was excellent. Proper speciality, however service could be improved. Even though it was busy a smile goes a long way

Great coffee! Theres always a good variety of blends to try from all over the world - Kenya, Guatemala, etc. You have to wait since its pour-over but its worth the wait. Pricier than your average cafe but also better!

Excellent coffee! Medium roast. Very fruity espresso. Superb service and team.

Damn this place is nice. Food is whatever but the coffee qmd atmosphere are where its at. Right gia communicate with others. Always buzzing with people and small groups but never A wait. Worth a stop in dc

Calling all Aussies: get a proper long black here. Not much for decor, ambience. But fifty stars for the coffee!

Only good espresso in DC. Highly recommend. This place seems to be the only place in DC that knows how to make an espresso.

Probably best espresso most consistently in the area. Get very noisy quickly though, especially upstairs. Not a great place for a work meeting -- just for good coffee!

The pour over coffee options were excellent, settled on one of five, it was excellent. Sat upstairs. Not lot of space, no sector or ambience, so with so many people chatting plus music blaring through speakers, it wasnt relaxing at all. Coffee was superb, but ill get it to go next time.

Quick service. No delays. Much appreciated

Quite simply the best coffee in the neighborhood. Excellent espresso, as well as very good pour-over. The coffee comes from a local upscale roaster.

One of the rare places you can find a proper long black in DC.

Great local coffee shop, not far from metro, nice change from the chains like Starbucks!

One of the few places in DC that serves some amazing coffee. Great selection of hand-pour and espresso. Quality is great and the baristas have knowledge of the coffee they serve.

Got a great pour-over coffee, and it wasnt too crowded when I went. Great for a quick business meeting.

Love the espresso here. Little seating but nice when you can get a seat.

Probably the best latte you’ll ever have.

Tiny and cute coffee joint. There is NO wifi here so come prepared to connect with other people as opposed to the internet! I got a roast that has low acidic level and it was so delicious and hard to put down the coffee mug.

No laptops allowed, if you’re looking for a small coffee shop to do some work it’s better to keep walking.

Excellent lattes with a lovely crema. Danishes are not bad either. Hippest coffee spot in foggy bottom.

Knowledgeable staff, great coffee, and an awesome little atmosphere. Definitely an excellent place to chill out.

Super cute coffee house! Great selection of coffee and pastries, reasonable prices, friendly baristas, good atmosphere. No Wi-Fi, but I like that as it ties into their no-laptop policy. Standing space downstairs for those in a rush, sitting space upstairs if you want to stay a while. Also the lemon poppyseed muffin is super good! Definitely skip the big-chain stores and come here instead

The ambiance is different. I never stayed there, because sometimes it can be so packed. So I always grab my cortado and go to my office. The baristas are super nice and I always love enjoy my cortado!

They respect coffee! Great pour over and milk-based drinks (cortado, latte, etc). No bad, overroasted, american-type of coffee. Thus, if you like typical american coffee go somewhere else! The only but is their expresso, which is a little bit rough on the throat and have a flat taste. Could be better.

Espresso was on point, and the service was very friendly and quick. 💯

Really nice atmosphere and friendly staff here. The coffee is tasty!

If youre looking for good coffee, youve found it.

I go here almost everyday. Awesome place. Great staff and excellent coffee. It rescues most of my afternoons.

Discourteous staff, banning laptops after youve already bought your cappuccino via sign upstairs, major attitude issues. Skip it. We will now, our entire staff, for life.

The cappuccino was good. But not much of a pastry collection. Also, no seating.

I love this place! Superior espresso drinks!

This places really cares about making amazing coffee. Best in the area.

They’ve got great coffee and can serve you in a ceramic cup if you ask for it!

I would have rated Filter four or five stars, but I was honestly a little bit disappointed with my experience... Let me set the scene: its a hot summer day. Im looking to escape my desk for a bit and grab a delicious iced coffee. Who doesnt love iced coffee on a sweltering afternoon? Instead of going to the new Starbucks that just opened directly across the street from my office, my colleague suggests going to Filter, which is a couple of blocks away. (Mostly so we dont run into anyone we know.) We go, I ask for an iced coffee, and to my dismay, what do I hear? They are out of iced coffee! Clearly other customers were thinking like me, since apparently iced coffee was so popular that it ran out. And maybe the staff was in the process of making more iced coffee, but really? Youre a coffee shop! How are you out of iced coffee? Again, I was rather upset... I ended up ordering an iced chai instead, and although it was delicious, its not really what I wanted! Also, while I liked the upstairs area they have, they were playing music way too loudly so that I had to practically shout so that my coworker could hear me. Seems a little contradictory to their message that they dont have Wifi so that you can get work done -- but how is blaring music conducive to being productive? Anyway, overall, I will give Filter a second chance, but Ill manage my expectations so that if they dont have what Im looking forward to, I wont be as annoyed next time. And, Ill probably take my drink to go...

I come here often. The coffee is delicious. Space is limited so plan on standing or taking it to go.

Only reason for not 5 stars is no WiFi (with preachy posters about how youve been looking at a screen all day and you should chat with your neighbor instead). Not too bad though since there is Xfinity wifi within range.Overall great. They have less common coffee favorites of mine including cortados and flat whites. The chai is actually brewed tea and spices and not overly sweet. Slightly pricey but worth it to me.A couple standing tables and a bar downstairs. Upstairs is has tables and chairs and is pretty peaceful during the off hours. But if you come in the morning its kind of crowded and loud. Really friendly, knowledgeably staff.

Damn good coffeeD.C. Has a lot of good coffee options some big some small but this place is my fav in the GW area

Really good high quality coffee. One of the best coffee places in DC

One of the best coffee shops I ever discovered. At least outside of Italy...

Great care, cozy upstairs, super nice staff

Friendly staff, and excellent pour-overs.

The pour over coffees are worth the wait and are delicious black. And I never drink black coffee!

Friendly staff, great coffee selection, great food selection, and interesting artwork.

Great coffee, great staff. I like Peregrine better, but this place has more variety.

Fine place how to get a brew just wish there was more seating and more of a relaxed atmosphere.

Excellent coffee. Friendly baristas. Dont expect to camp out with your laptop here; no wifi and mostly standing room only. Come, enjoy your coffee, chat with the baristas, and go. A proper fika. 👌

Shhh. Let the coffee do the talking...

Great coffee and the best mocha I have ever had!

Fantastic selection of pour over coffees, well made without the pretentiousness of other places.

Good coffee the pour over variety, simple and no WiFi, so useful when you need a break.

Have a cortado or a cappuccino. One of my favorites around.

Great coffee, but get it to go. Theres basically no room to sit or work and they have a no laptops rule.

The place is small and not comfortable at all. The coffee is below average and the staff were not friendly

Very good aromatic coffee is served here. Bit pricey though.

Some of the best coffee Ive ever had. Cute place too.

Friendly staff and some of the best espresso and drip coffee in DC.

Great coffee, awesome place to stop by before or after a meeting in the City.

Love the coffee, convo and amosphere

Great coffee and easy going atmosphere. Very friendly staff.

Decent coffee in an otherwise super commercialized area. Beware the long waits after lunch.

Very kind and friendly staff. Great people

Great coffee and a really friendly team

Friendly staff, good drink variety and quality.

Excellent concept and consistently really delicious coffee!

Best coffee in DC, hands down. Great shop, awesome staff.

Best cold brew coffee in the city

A fantastic place for espresso, love the loft area.

Amazing! I like the coffee a lot and it tastes wonderfulness

Good coffee and nice place to chat.

Great fresh roast coffee

The coffee here is so good!

Just a nice friendly place

Amazing cappuccino!

Great staff and coffee

Solid Coffee ; I agree with other reviewers that this is not a place to camp out with your laptop - good if youre OK with standing room or also some seating on the second floor.

Best coffee i have ever had.

The iced coffee is to die for.
