“Coffee In” cafe in Washington DC area.
Hey friends,
If you’ve been reading my blog you’ll know that I love coffee and cafes. I have a fictional mini series about cafes posted in my lists. Several poems about cafe and coffee that many of you enjoyed. However, today I’ll be posting about an actual cafe in Washington DC area. Alexandria, Virginia to be precise.
The reason?
It’s one of a kind unique and wonderful experience. Growing up in Europe, I was exposed to several cafes similar to this one, but after moving to US it’s been tough to find cafes of such quality. This one is surely up to that standard. Recently we even took my niece there who was visiting from another state and she said; “There are no cafes like this where I’m at.” The next day she brought her friend there as well.
This cafe is called Coffee In. It is located at 6434 Landsdowne Center, Kingstowne, VA. If you live near DC, check it out.
Now, lets get into some details and discuss what they have exactly.
First, most importantly, the coffee, haha. They have very good quality beans, particularly ones that we noticed were best Brazilian beans from Minas Giras. The house plain coffee is delicious. In many places if you order plain coffee it tastes awful, not the case here.
There is large variety for coffee lovers as well who like to mix it up. Peppermint, cappuccino, etc. My favorite out of those is Honey Lavender.

They also offer traditional Turkish coffee experience. They bring out a beautiful plate with tiny cup of Turkish coffee. It’s very strong and authentic. They also add Turkish delight. It’s a cultural experience I highly recommend.
Also, coffee is not the only attraction here. Delicious waffles are a big hit here. Pastries are offered as well, and if you feel extra hungry, you can get a european style panini sandwiches, which are very good.
In the corner there is a small kids “coffee shop” cart, which helps this place to be family friendly.
But wait…there is more! As you enter you immediately see a wonderful work of art covering the wall. This is the original work of brilliant “MicroAngelo”, Hasan Kale. This adds a lot to the atmosphere of the place, you’ll love taking photos with that background.
The people who run the place are very friendly and attentive.
I’m sure there are other things to say, but why don’t you discover them on your own?
Come and check out this place.
Blessings.
