Crema's Take
“Uncommon Grounds trades on its cafeteria-style convenience for office workers in the building, but the 3.3 rating reflects real problems: staff inconsistency (denying bathroom access, suddenly charging for condiments), overpriced and mediocre food (dry fried plantains, bland pastries), and a general sense that you're paying premium prices for average quality. Unless you're stuck in the building and need a quick sit-down spot, there are better coffee shops within walking distance in DC.”
What to expect
Specialty coffee. A slow-sit, outdoor seating spot, good for meetings. Pastries and light food on the menu. Family friendly.

Delicious fresh food and Kona Coffee, my favorite. Friendly staff. Lots of indoor and outdoor seating.
