Espresso 3 mentions

“That way it holds the most amount of flavor and if it were espresso, it would not become shocked and bitter from being poured directly over ice.”

What customers say

S tier level coffee in Old Town Alexandria. Super chill vibes and the coffee has been consistently excellent. One of my go to spots to take guests. I usually get an espresso or cortado and the baristas have never failed to disappoint.

The vibes here r amazing and I love the music and have loved the drinks for many times in the past. This has been a favorite cafe since 2023 and I have been getting the iced ceremonial matcha with lavender syrup & either oat or almond milk.

★★★★★ — Faith, 2025-09

Out in Old Town and wanted to grab a coffee, ended up staying for a quick snack as well. Went with a mocha and a dirty chai, a chicken saltena,and a ham & cheese croissant (warmed). Mocha was delicious. As silly as this sounds, the coffee was the perfect temp because it was hot, but I could drink it immediately.

★★★★★ — Vincent, 2022-01

Imagine a small, cozy coffee shop with dim lighting and walls adorned with dark wood and old books. The aroma of freshly brewed coffee fills the air, and soft music plays in the background. There are comfortable couches and small tables where you can sit and relax.
