Café Cino
1825 18th St NW, Washington, DC
Crema's Take
“Nestled inside a charming plant shop, Cafe Cino is a hidden gem where owner Ron's genuine passion for coffee shines through in every cup—whether you're diving into a carefully sourced single-origin pour-over or exploring their thoughtfully curated selection from local and international roasters. The intimate, plant-filled space strikes that rare balance of being cozy enough for a leisurely afternoon with a book and welcoming enough for serious coffee conversations with someone who actually knows their craft.”
What to expect
Espresso-focused, with a pour-over program, matcha and tea options too. A slow-sit, laptop-friendly spot, good for meetings.

Nestled inside a truly special plant shop (PLNTR) is this truly special cafe, named after one of the owners’ sons! The pour-over coffee is fantastic, the vibes are immaculate (think chill tunes, gorgeous foliage, cozy seating options), and co-owner Carolina is knowledgeable,…
This cafe has been on my list to try for about a year now, and I am sad I never got around to it earlier! I have been in a rut of drinking sugary milky lattes. Now there is nothing wrong with that of course! But I have been craving a classic iced coffee, one where I can really…
This is the kind place you stumble upon and think to yourself, damn I'm lucky! I hope this place blows up! By far the best hidden DC coffee shop gem. Beautifully decorated, run by a superbly friendly guy with two adorable kids (one of whose name inspired the name of the place).…
