Davenport Coffee Lounge
4400 Massachusetts Ave, Washington, DC
Crema's Take
“Davenport Coffee Lounge strikes that rare balance between a serious espresso destination and a genuinely welcoming hangout, where La Marzocco pulls are handled by quick-moving baristas who somehow maintain impeccable service even during the rush. The vibe is relaxed and unhurried—perfect for lingering over a cup or catching up with friends—and the consistently friendly staff make everyone from students to neighborhood regulars feel genuinely appreciated. Whether you're after a traditional cappuccino or one of their specialty drinks, you'll find yourself in a clean, cozy spot in the heart of NE DC that locals return to again and again.”
What to expect
Espresso-focused. A slow-sit, laptop-friendly, quick-grab spot, good for meetings.

Coffee is always on point, staff are always friendly. Yes, sometimes they are busy but only because everyone on campus wants a cup of their amazing coffee! The space is clean and cozy. This is the only place within a pretty wide radius where you can find single-origin Ethiopian…
