Crema's Take

This DC institution brings authentic Cuban flavors and hospitality to DuPont Circle, with a genuinely cute interior that feels like a welcoming escape rather than a typical coffee shop. Beyond their specialty and traditional drinks, Colada Shop shines as a full breakfast and brunch destination where slow-paced meals and fresh, craveable bowls (like their praised sweet plantains and fresh vegetable preparations) make it perfect for lingering with friends. The staff's warmth and attentiveness—when you connect with them—combined with the genuine care in their food creates the kind of place you'll want to return to again and again.

What to expect

Specialty coffee. A slow-sit spot, good for meetings. Full breakfast and light food on the menu.
