“ We only went here for coffee and did not try any food. Coffee was good but the ambiance and the outdoor seating makes this place the perfect place to hang out and enjoy the coffee. Plenty of people working from here. Nice place! ”
“ Outstanding coffee shop with unmatched vibes! Doubles is a cozy little cafe in Park View serving up fantastic coffee and drool-worthy sandwiches for breakfast and lunch. I first visited while on a walk in the area on a crisp, fall Saturday afternoon and had to make a stop when I realized they not only served coffee, but also doubled as a ping pong club. As I stepped inside, I was eagerly greeted by two of the friendliest baristas I've ever met, who proceeded to ask me about my day and answer a slew of questions on their fun selection of seasonal / specialty drinks. After a brief back and forth, I decided to lean into the crisp autumn weather and try out their maple cardamom latte. I admit that I usually prefer the unflavored espresso classics, but I was so intrigued by all their unique combos that I had to give it a shot. The latte was absolutely worth the risk -- it had a ton of cardamom flavor, and it wasn't overwhelmingly sweet (especially since they had kindly offered to reduce the sugar level for me when I asked about how sweet each of their drinks were). I, tragically, wasn't super hungry when I dropped by, but the focaccia looked incredible, and I can't wait to make another visit to try it out with one of their iconic breakfast sandwiches. What truly makes Doubles special, though, is the vibes. It's such a chill and relaxed space, with ample seating both inside and in their lovely covered patio. The ambient, but upbeat music and dull buzz of conversation and the occasional thunk of a ping pong ball create the perfect environment to read, work, or just hang out. And if you want to continue soaking in the vibes after they close at 5 PM, they leave the back patio open for people to stay, which is really sweet. ”
“ Best cafe in area (Qualia also have amazing pour overs, to be fair). Feels like walking into a Melbourne or San Francisco cafe. Top quality, great value, friendly service. pump out front! Love the simple wood fit-out. Excellent minimal breakfast, lunch, snack, menu. Sparkling & chilled water on tap. Then there's the coffee , pour overs that don't cost the earth and espressos on their La Marzocco. Turns into a bar at 5pm with ping pong upstairs. Named after an Australian ultimate frisbee team from Sydney ”
“ This place is spacious and adjacent to an AMAZING pizza shop called Sonny’s. Lots and lots of space in the cafe and a patio that is shared by the Sonny’s and Doubles. They serve locally roasted Small Planes coffee and a robust food menus is served all day. There is an upstairs where the bathroom, additional seating and table tennis is free to play for all. I highly recommend this spot as a work from home option to the cosmopolitan or university metro individual as highly as I recommend it for a commuter or passer by on the go! ”
“ In my exploration of non big name coffee shops I came across Colony Club in my research. They seemed to have good events. Nice neighborhood spot. Friendly staff. They have a punch card to earn a free coffee (always a bonus) They also have water on tap which is not new however, this is the first time I've seen sparkling water on tap. Latte was smooth. No sugar needed. ”
“ Great spot! My iced latte was good, but the patio is amazing! A fantastic spot to hang out, and it's heated so good in the spring and fall as well. ”
“ there’s a magic to doubles that i can’t articulate. i truly love this place and i’m here a ton, so much so that someone assumed i worked here — nope just obsessed with their chai and brown butter chocolate chip cookie. it’s everything you want in a coffee shop: charming and cute atmosphere, easily accessible location, and most importantly a warm and welcoming community of regulars. as someone raised in dc (25 years) doubles has quickly become one of my favorite places ever. and honestly , many coffee shops have all the above... great drinks, cute vibes, and a good location but what set doubles apart is the people that work here — every single one of them is amazing and will always greet you with a smile and a conversation. thank you ari, arika, dk, grayson, sam, and tierney! yall have turned what i once thought was just another cookie cutter gentrifying coffee shop into something more real. what i love most is how you treat people, not just the regulars or the weekend rush— you treat everyone who walks through the door, including the houseless folks in the neighborhood with kindness and respect in a way that stands out, in a way that people notice. thank you again written at doubles haha ”
“ As a DJ / wedding pro with 20 years in the biz, I wanted to share that I had a fabulous experience working with Alanna and the staff at Doubles for a wedding last month. Such a cool venue and great atmosphere. I'm looking forward to working with this crew again soon! ”
