Blue Bottle Coffee - Union Station
50 Massachusetts Ave NE, Washington, DC
Crema's Take
“This Union Station outpost nails the commuter coffee experience with espresso-focused drinks that punch above the usual airport-café standard—reviewers rave about their Winter Latte's delicate sweetness and their hot chocolate rivals specialty coffee in quality. It's a convenient pit stop before catching a train, with a quick-moving line even during rush hour and enough seating to linger if you have time. While the specialty drinks justify their premium price for quality seekers, the staff can be hit-or-miss on warmth, though the coffee itself consistently wins over skeptics.”

Winter Latte was excellent. Just a hint of sweetness and good flavor. Quick service!
Good coffee before you catch your train. Conveniently located with ample seating.
This was my first time having Blue Bottle and I continue to ask myself ... why? Why have I waited so long? I am not a coffee drinker but love hot chocolate and this was some of the best, if not the best hot chocolate I have ever had. I think about it several times a week, haha! And now I am so sad that we don't have a Blue Bottle in my city. Sigh. I guess I will just have to ensure I get it whenever I'm back in DC or in Chicago now. Also, the service was nice, and I was lucky that I visited later in the day so I got a seat. It's kind of noisy being in Union Station, but it wasn't incredibly busy.
I love the blue bottle in downtown chicago, so when I saw blue bottle at the union station in Washington DC I had to pop in for a quick cuppa! The people working behind the counter weren’t friendly. But Coffee was super good as usual for blue bottle.
First of all, wow is this coffee expensive! But I am not rating on price.. I stopped here to get an Americano before my train at 7:45a on a weekday. There was a decent line but it moved quickly. The coffee/espresso is wonderful if you are willing to pay! They have a small selection of food items as well
