Colada Shop
1405 T St NW, Washington, DC
Crema's Take
“Colada Shop brings authentic Cuban coffee culture to DC with a rooftop perch where you can linger over a cortadito or their creative seasonal drinks like a Carrot Cake Latte that locals genuinely rave about. Beyond the coffee, their breakfast empanadas and Cuban pastries pair perfectly with the unhurried, social atmosphere that makes it an ideal spot to settle in for a while and actually connect with people.”

La comida es requetebien!! Delicious food and drinks of all kinds, like Authentic Cuban Café and matchas you won’t regret it if you appreciate good food!
I love the colada shop! I've ordered from here by delivery, takeout, and dine-in. They have a cortadito which is hard to find. Their breakfast empanada is DELICIOUS, and I like their sofritas wrap as well. Any time I'm even remotely in the area I'll stop by for a little treat. The vibes here are good, there's lots of seating, good music, free water, and the people who work here have always been pleasant.
I don't think I can recommend this place. I sat at a rooftop table #41 and ordered from the QR code. Then waited and waited. After 25 minutes I walked down to see what was happening with my order. I found my sandwich sitting on a counter, I walked it back to my table. And then went back for my beer. These places need to improve their service. I've never experienced this bad service in quite some time. The sandwich wasn't too bad, after I asked them to heat it up for me.
I saw this place on Instagram. I had to try it. I really wanted the drinks but settled for coffee because it was 9am. The cuban coffee was strong and amazing. I had the tostada and the breakfast empanadas. Everything was so good. We got the drinks to go in a pouch. I tried the pina colada and a daiquiri. Bith were out of this world. The dulce de leche brownie had me licking my fingers. We will hopefully return before we leave DC. The service was very accommodating and professional. Love it!. The rooftop was beautiful.
Came here for a couple Cuban coffees. Got the Cafe Con Leche and the seasonal Carrot Cake Latte, which was delightful, and sat upstairs on the roof on a gorgeous morning. What a lovely spot, I'd come here again. There's ample seating, both outside and in. Can't wait to come back and try the food!
