Lightning Coffee
1700 N Moore St M2 level, Arlington, VA
Crema's Take
“Just steps from Rosslyn Metro, Lightning Coffee is run by a genuinely warm team that treats every drink like it matters—regulars rave about Sammy's Spanish lattes and the rotating seasonal creations that keep things exciting. They've got the space and wifi to settle in for hours, local espresso that shines whether you're ordering a classic latte or something more creative, and solid breakfast options to anchor your morning, making it equally perfect for a quick commute grab or a long work session.”

Sammy makes the best Spanish lattes and has a warm and inviting feel to make my drink feel extra special
Fantastic donate latte & great cold brew. Super friendly employees!
Excellent coffee, a handful of breakfast options, baked goods, LOT of space to work. Friendly service. Right on top of the Rosslyn Metro, right next to Gold's Gym.
I often stop in to Lightning for my morning latte on my morning commute. The team is always courteous and fast and the coffee delicious. They use espresso from a local coffee roaster- and you can taste the difference. The prices are reasonable for the best coffee in the area. Stop in!
Went for the first time this week and was highly impressed! They have a lot of interesting seasonal/monthly drinks that I can’t wait to try more of. The barista was very friendly and I appreciated her recommendations (a warm sticky bun hit the spot!). Smaller but good assortment of pastries and they have some other breakfast food options that look fun too. I’ll definitely be back!
