Exceptional espresso program. Truly incredibly gifted craftsman. When I visit from NYC I without fail come to visit this cafe and I always get a flat white and enjoy the oudoor seating they have and read my Bible and just unwind. It’s the greatest cafe with a really stunning food selection too! I love their avocado toast, it goes well with their habenero spicy jam!

Theyve got everything you need! I highly recommend this shop to all of my family and friend who also love coffee. I came here yesterday, and I was so happy and satisfied with the overall service. You guys really deserve an award! Thanks for your kindness, guys! Cheers for your success! Highly recommended coffee shop!

This was such a cute little coffee shop. Small and not kid friendly. I had the vanilla iced latte, it was perfectly sweetened, not too much sugar that overpowered the coffee flavor. And the Avocado toast was prob the best I’ve had anywhere. I’ve never had it the way they make it but I was pleasantly surprised.

I live at the Crossing in Navy Yard and Daniel and his team are just terrific. Very excited for the bar to open as well and see their dinner menu. If their pastries and coffee are any indication, it will be a very thoughtful and curated menu.

A supreme experience out of a small shop. The Tahitian Vanilla Latte was delicious. Will visit again before leaving.

Had a cortado and it was amazing! Quality and careful execution seen and tasted in a cup.I will come back to try other things. Definitely a MUST place to have coffee in the city!

Cool simple spot with good food and drinks. Staff apparently never got the memo that baristas are supposed to be snobby and rude. The folks here are great.

Great breakfast place. Service just at the bar, free seating inside and outside. Orange juice is great and the lox bagel as well. Great happy hour all week and an amazing dinner deal with 3 courses on wednesdays. Highly recommend stopping by!

The avocado toast was amazing!

Love the decor of this place. Food was decent.

The chai is house made which of nice, and they have oat milk (big plus!) but it was a bit weak for my taste. Also, I brought my own mug which they said they would use but then didnt. The bodega egg sandwich was good--the bun is the star! The lavender-lemon scone was not very flavorful. Looked like some nice working spaces, but few patrons were wearing masks.

Great vibe, location and food was good. Felt it was a bit overpriced for the quantity of food.

The breakfast bowl was a delicious and well-balanced way to start the day and people here genuinely kind.

Good Wifi, Power Outlets, and can bring your own container. Great food.

Love itGreat foodAmazing place for breakfast specially if you get a table next to the window!Friendly staff

Amazing little place for coffee! It’s quiet which I highly appreciate!

These are not your mother’s breakfast sandwiches! The Sweet Potato experience was unexpected and divine. And the coffee...strong, hot and good to the last drop.

For a small, but cute coffee shop, the food is really good here. And the service staff are as wonderful too. I do recommend giving this place a shot.

This was a very satisfying first morning in DC after a 27hr trip. The avocado toast was delicious, and coffee was amazing. Wonderful atmosphere and friendly staff too.

Love the options, service & atmosphere. Definitely returning.

Great little coffee house with surprisingly good food too. The specialty coffees - especially the espresso tonic - are worth adventuring to find.

Casual dining, pay at the register and they bring you your food. Clean space and tons of natural lighting. I liked that the portions werent huge and neither were the prices. It was the baby bear portions/prices, just right lol.

A solid place to work or just grab food with a friend. Slipstream has delicious espresso beverages and a decent menu. Their avocado toast is always, always so good. Simple space with no frills. Friendly enough staff. Awesome location.

Really cute cafe with fantastic breakfast and coffee. Definitely worth visiting, staff are extremely corteous, food is world-class, and there are lots of nice coffee and tea options. A must visit if you are in the area!

Once had a lot of promise. At this point it’s run down, with old furniture, lack of upkeep. Management seems like they don’t care about clientele. Not environmentally friendly - only using take out cups even if you dine in.

Its the cute coffee shop and food is delicious as well; however my rating is this low due to their service. I had to wait twenty minutes just to get my order in and the food didnt come until an whole hour was passed. Barista maker was not in a hurry to get the order out... Neither was the cook.The person kept on apologizing for the delay but didnt do anything to fix it.Once again, the coffee and the food was delicious but servife has to be better

Great quicker breakfast/brunch option in the area. They offer some interesting coffee cocktails if you’re REALLY trying to brunch. The food is tasty - highly recommend the scallion biscuit with honey butter. Interestingly, the coffee was the least exciting part of this coffee shop meal (the espresso is particularly bitter, so you have to appreciate that to enjoy the espresso drinks).

Had a really great smoked salmon toast but the service is a little slow

Every food item was prepared beautifully.

The avocado toast was amazing! The service was great too!

Always a favorite. Terrific coffee. Great breakfast sandwich options. Watch out the egg sandwich has a kick.

Service takes a while but the coffee drinks are SHOCKINGLY good (had tahitian vanilla latte and espresso tonic)

Great coffee with a ton of seating options and hip atmosphere

I always enjoy trying out their seasonal breakfast sandwich, and pre-covid they had a deal on weekdays where you could get a pretty good date night with the pre-selected 3 course dinner and paired cocktail.

The staff here are always nice and friendly and the coffee is amazing!

Wish we had one of these in Houston. Can’t go wrong with the breakfast bowl. Great texture and flavors.

Really tasty breakfast! I had a ham and egg sandwich, which was fresh and really tasty. All the ingredients were fresh and the flavours went really well together.Blueberry scone was delicious too and was the best scone we had so far as it was soft inside and had a crispy outer layer. Nice chilled out atmosphere.Service was friendly and we got served quite quickly. I would highly recommend it.

This is one of the best all-around coffee shops in DC.  Key word there, “all-around”. They have everything you would want in a coffee shop.  Good variety of coffee, outside/inside seating, good amount of seating, a bar and most important wi-fi. However, there are some things I would consider before making the commute to Slipstream.For starters, they do have wi-fi but it isn’t great.  It is definitely a fight to get connected once you here. As far as a great study or reading spot? I wouldn’t recommend it. It can get pretty loud there. This is definitely more of a meet friends for coffee and good food kind of place.  Speaking of food. You need to order the avocado toast…it’s really, really good.  Seating is pretty good. I can’t tell you how many times I get all excited to go to my favorite coffee shop of the week and I get there and no seats…. That has never been the case at slipstream. You have a lot of different options from more privacy in the back, the bar, or outside sidewalk seating.All in all, I would recommend this place to anyone that wants to meet up with some friends to have a good conversation and a bite to eat.  Not the greatest study location…its got everything a great coffee shop needs but I wouldnt say it is the BEST at any one thing....except the avocado toast...

Friendly staff. Fresh, inventive food and drinks.

Found my new favorite DC work cafe! Its harder than one would imagine to find a cage with 1, good coffee, 2, WiFi, and 3, an actual meal instead of just a slim array of croissants. The skylight, vaulted ceilings, and wall art in the back make for a relaxing environment for either a long laptop work session or a casual meeting (or a nice day date 😉), as theyve got a full bar as well. A rare gem! Check it out soon.

The sandwiches are just ok. The eggs they use seem like they come as frozen cakes like youd get a McDonalds. They also use lots of plastic cups/cutlery even if you choose to eat there.

Great coffee and great service every time I come here

Let me start by saying I love Slipstream. I frequent the one in Navy Yard weekly. With that being said, I went there for lunch today and ordered the Roasted Chicken bowl which is Gluten Free (has GF next to the name). The last time I ordered this salad was in Navy Yard and it came with regular grilled chicken. Today, however, it was breaded. I very nicely asked the woman behind the counter if it was still gluten free with the breaded chicken, and she went to check. A few minutes later, a gentleman who works there came up and said it was sourdough breaded chicken and was technically not gluten free. This came as a HUGE surprise to me, especially since Celiac is a pretty serious disease and you absolutely cannot mark something on a menu as GF unless it absolutely is GF. Just thought I would share in case anyone else needs to eat GF and has had the roasted chicken bowl from there and become ill.

As an Aussie desperately trying to find decent coffee in the States, this place is pretty damn close. Breakfast was nice.

*COVID REVIEW*I love a spot that offers more than chai for non-coffee drinkers. I had a delicious tea / cider combo hot bev that was absolutely delicious. Their sweet potato biscuit breakfast sandwich was also incredibly flavorful and unique. The space is huge so Ill look forward to working from here when were able to get back into the world.

Visited during happy hour and got coffee with a shot. They use madcaps coffee and it is tasty. Pretty busy and fun place to be.

Serive was good and loved the breakfast brioche bun and break bowl

Showed up 30min before this coffee shop closed only to be informed the espresso machine had already been turned off. We left to go to a different coffee shop that actually served coffee.

Wow, I had the best coffee I’ve had in years. The breakfast sandwich was outstanding as well. Highly recommend for breakfast.

Delicious coffee, fast internet, nutritions breakfast options

Tasty coffee and snacks. Came here twice on our visit to Washington DC. Highly recommend the blueberry scones, as well as their breakfast menu.

Great healthy breakfast and tasty cappuccino

A solid place to work or just grab food with a friend. Slipstream has delicious espresso beverages and a decent menu. Their avocado toast is always, always so good. Simple space with no frills. Friendly enough staff. Awesome location.

Great beverages and exceptionally friendly and helpful staff!

Strongly recommended

Amazing coffee and food

Good coffee, if a little overpriced. Bathrooms are closed due to COVID which makes very little sense. Staff should consider prioritizing clean bathrooms, especially considering coffee is a diuretic. Also, we were booted out at 2pm on the button, despite my asking for an extra two mins to finish up a work call. Owner turned WiFi off at 2pm. Certainly not the most accommodating experience Ive had.

I have eaten all over DC and this is one of my favorite spots.They have all different unique coffees and teas.They have an amazing brunch and breakfast. My go to on the weekend is to have them make the avocado toast on their homemade biscuits. INCREDIBLE. No one can beat this avocado toast. It has these spring onions and goat cheese mousse on it that makes it out of this world.They also have neighborhood nights on Wednesdays where you pay $25 for 3 courses and a drink (alcoholic or non-alcoholic). The food was amazing and they change the menu each week.In addition, it is a great place to stop and get work done.I love this place and highly recommend.

It a small coffee shop and bar with a great atmosphere and wonderful staff. I highly recommend the Jupiter and Mars drink. Its Bourbon, coffee, mint and ice. Its really delicious.

Just grabbed coffee and breakfast here with my boyfriend. Our coffee was good and the food was also very delicious... But unfortunately there was a hair on my breakfast that wasnt my own. It was a small hair, but enough to be gross on my breakfast. My boyfriend loved the breakfast sandwhich he got and said it was so good it was justified in its price (roughly $9 for breakfast here)

Loving the place. Customer service has room to grow.

The egg sandwich was delicious. The price for the portion size was a bit inflated but it is well worth it.

The filter coffee was so good; really flavorful and complex. The tea is also tasty. I would definitely recommend.

Coffee has the weirdest after taste and a regular iced coffee is $5, and you dont get that much coffee!!! I ended up throwing most of it away, I couldn’t choke it down. Then the small little itty bitty breakfast sandwich was $10. YIKES, wont come back for the sake of my wallet. Atmosphere is fine, but DANG.

Come for the coffee and the atmosphere, but skip the food. When this place first opened, it had an amazing arctic char breakfast dish and its avocado toast was to die for. After several returns, we first noticed that the arctic char vanished from the menu. For a while, the breakfast grain bowl was pretty solid and we could enjoy a brunch as a couple with that and the avocado toast still. But on this most recent visit after a year-long hiatus, the avocado toast was mushy and lackluster and I tried the breakfast sandwich, which was tremendously disappointing. The food is all quite pretty to look at, but presentation is nothing of the food isnt tasty. The coffee is still good, however, and the service is friendly.

Great breakfast and very friendly service.Not the cheapest for food but the quality is definitely there. Recommended for anyone in Washington.

Coffee is good but staff is not very friendly.

Slipstream has better tasting coffee than Starbucks! I visited Slipstream @ 82 I St SE, and its a very lovely setting. They have not just coffee, but a bar also to enjoy along with unique food that taste good and fresh. The place is available to all walks of life. Everyone behind the counter is quite friendly and that makes Slipstream a major star in the neighborhood. So, if you are around in the Navy Yard playground, come by and enjoy yourself.

Poor service and this company was once good but they have fallen from their high ranking. if i could rate you guys a zero i would. Not to mention you have a racist that work there. you really want a racist serving your food? that could possibly spit in it just because your a person of color....

Great food with a bit of a DC attitude on the side.

At first I was a bit sore because they were no longer offering breakfast yet they offered my wife & I a breakfast sandwich and breakfast bowl. Wow! Dont let the names fool you, these plates were delicious. Bravo Slipstream, its true talent when you can take simple dishes & make them memorable. Thank you for taking care of us.

Cool vibes and great service!

Very cool layout/concept. Good selection to tea, coffee and hot chocolate. Although we didnt eat here the food at neighbouring tables looked fresh, clean and yummy..

Great brunch and coffee with unique cocktails like espresso tonics. Loved the avocado toast and sweet potato chili. Felt like the service was a little bit slow. Food arrived quickly but waitress didnt bring our check until 20 min after we finished eating. Not necessarily quick but a yummy and relaxing experience overall.

Came in for the wine, stayed for the constant aroma of cinammon apple tea that had me feeling very autumnal in February. Cozy and unique, will visit again.

We only popped in for a takeaway breakfast so my review is limited by lack of time there. However in the brief time we were there the staff were great and the food choices were good.

I really enjoy going to Slipstream on a regular basis. Definitely sit at the bar where the service has always been stellar. The coffee is very high quality (though definitely not cheap) and the food is always delicious. I recommend the egg sandwich (I add bacon) though watch out for the hot pepper jelly as it can sneak up on you if youre not prepared.

Not a fan of overpriced garbage. The gentleman at the counter gave me a giant eye roll when I was checking for allergy triggers in the beverages. Sorry? Anyways, I ordered a safe drink and 1 block away was cringing so hard. Ick. Fusions can be done well and tasty. This place just isnt one of them.

The latte and cortado were great. The avocado toast was awesome. We didnt love the breakfast tacos, they were a little bland. Cute place and think having a bar there is a neat idea.

Friendly staff. Food is great. The Espresso Lemon Specialty drink is amazing. Location is not too far from National Mall.

Coffee was fabulous. Best breakfast sandwich I have had in a looong time. Home made English muffin. All done in a hoodless kitchen. Impressed!

Good place to work and study. However, I did find a cockroach walking around which kinda scared me the coffee and muffins are good. But I did like there egg sandwich or vegetable dish for lunch. But it is perfect to go and get a cup of coffee and work either day or night.

An excellent popular brunch option which has fantastic meals and good espresso coffee, one of the only places doing 6oz sizes too! Can highly recommend the baked goods which is deliciously sweet. Tables are comfortable and there are seats at both the front and back of the venue. Ordering is easy at the counter but this does make service a little less personable, with the high volume of traffic I can understand why theyve chosen this system.#brunch #dc #coffee

Coffee and food in a chill place with Staffs who are very very friendly and nice! If you refresh during studying or working, go and visit there. Wifi is little bit slow, so think about it before the Internet.

Good healthy(ish) food and fantastic coffee! Best cortada in town! Love the coffee liquors!

Ive been here a few times. The coffee is amazing. The service Ive experienced has ranged from very welcoming to annoyed by my presence. They always have fun seasonal drinks. Its not as clean as it used to be.

The homemade English muffin is soooo good. It’s Used in the breakfast sandwich. Very very tasty.

Overall, it was a nice place to grab coffee and a small brunch bite with a girlfriend. The lobster roll was actually two mini rolls with finely picked lobster. My friend had the goat cheese and avocado toast which was much more substantial. There is a nice variety of pastries and egg dishes and the iced coffee was great.

Espresso tonic is great! This is both a coffeehouse and a bar, hence check out the happy hour after 4 pm:)

Good coffee and baked goods but this place is LOUD. Sound bounces, and when its full, its loud like a diner. That energy can work great sometimes, and not be what youre looking for other times, so just know before you go.

Loved the panda latte, fast and friendly service.

A cute cafe with a fun atmosphere. The dark chocolate mocha was good, but not quite worth the wait... Unfortunately, there is no separate line for just coffee so you have to wait behind everyone else figuring out their food orders at the register, which makes it impractical to stop by for coffee to go.

Manager is rude. First I’m trying to order and the manager and staff are having a full conversation and ignoring me. I asked for an order and they filled it like they were doing me a favor! Like they aren’t paid to be there.I decided I wanted a glass of red wine and I get a glass of ice cold Malbec. I let them know I would like room temp wine if possible (never had freezing temp Malbec before). The manager rudely says - well that’s how it’s served here and turns around and goes about her way. Do not make this a pseudo restaurant / happy hour place if you can’t address issues with drinks. I live in the neighborhood but wont be back and will be sure to tell others the same.EDIT: couldn’t stand to drink the wine she gave me so I asked for something else. I got a huge sigh in response and “alright.”

Great spot for a cup of coffee or a cocktail. I have been there several times now and the bartenders are very creative and make delicious and inventive drinks. The coffee is really good as well. Very pleasant, modern atmosphere and good and inexpensive food choices.

The one guys is always here and he rocks! Great convos and drinks! The one girl with the reddish/ brown short hair isn’t very friendly! She turned us away from tables and it seems like because she doesn’t want to wait on us... meanwhile the one part of the bar the guy is struggling to keep up

My Monday night dinner buddy LOVES Slipstream. The location, the food, the atmosphere, they clean and simple design. Whats not to love!? If you go early enough on a week day, you should be able to find seating between the two rooms and there are a few outlets sprinkled throughout the cafe. The coffee is on point and the turkey avocado sandwich I had was decent (Not amazing, but good). If you need a place with cool atmosphere and strong wifi, come here during the week!

I love this place. Relaxed atmosphere. Great food and coffee.But why oh why did they change their breakfast bowl ?!

I loved this place the first few times I came here, but that was before I encountered a server with some kind of weird chip on his shoulder about people making suggestions for the menu. Just smile and nod, dude. No need to recite Das Kapital at us.

Enjoyable spot. Great coffee and food. Im looking forward to their rollout of a full menu.

Most unique coffee drinks in DC including coffee flights! Excellent fresh breakfast and an ambiance you cant beat - varied seating options, well lit, spacious, kind staff and free wifi. Highly recommend!
