Brew on U
1931 13th St NW, Washington, DC
Crema's Take
“Tucked inside a lively hostel just off U Street, Brew On U delivers a uniquely vibrant atmosphere where you can settle in with excellent espresso drinks and fairly priced pastries while watching the constant flow of travelers and locals. The café strikes an impressive balance between serious about coffee quality and refreshingly unpretentious, offering plenty of comfortable seating both inside and out along with reliable wifi—making it equally suited for focused work sessions or leisurely hangs. It's the kind of neighborhood gem that feels like a secret despite its proximity to the U Street corridor's energy.”
What to expect
Espresso-focused. A slow-sit, laptop-friendly, outdoor seating spot, good for meetings. Pastries and light food on the menu. Wifi.

I love the ambiance in this cafe- I can’t believe it’s right off of bustling U street! The mocha was pretty good although it is more on the milky side. I would have given it 5 stars but it took 15+ min to get my mocha. Granted there was only one person working but I would…
Located inside a capsule hostel just off of U Street NW, its selling point is its location. It's around the corner from the U Street Metro station and popular U Street NW with its many restaurants, bars, and stores. The space itself is large. There's no consistent decor or…
