Mia’s Coffeehouse

I live right across from Mia’s and stop by for the occasional coffee or tea. I was recently blown away by their sandwiches. The beef barbacoa was moist and well seasoned. I will definitely make that sandwich a regular. Can’t believe it took me this long to try it!

If this place were open later it would be absolute perfection. Everything is delicious but nowhere else can top the mocha. Definitely worth the visit if you can catch them during the brief hours!

Nice neighborhood coffee bar. Some indoor seating and an outdoor bench /​bar for when weather permits. Now to the coffee … Best cup of coffee since moving to DC. Wanted to try the breakfast sandwiches but they had just run out. Friendly staff. Good experience.

Super cute place. Very friendly employees. Coffee and egg/​cheese sandwich were delicious. Can’t wait to go back and try everything else!

While we are thrilled to have a coffeehouse in the neighborhood, Mia’s misses the mark. First, the service is incredibly slow and inefficient (even for just a cup of coffee). Second, they are consistently out of certain menu items. Don’t waste your time.

Apparently sometimes they dont serve coffee and do a taco night instead. Great if you want tacos, bad if you want coffee. Apparently can’t do both?

This place is great! Within walking distance of my house, I enjoy taking a break here, working for part of my day, or meeting up with friends there. Jeff is awesome and makes fantastic drinks (the lattes are my favorite and quite tasty). I also had an egg and cheese breakfast sandwich that was amazing and good quality in my opinion.
The prices are a little steep yet I don’t mind paying for the atmosphere and the quality of the drinks/​food. The place is still new and working out the kinks but I think it’s the perfect addition to the neighborhood. Looking forward to spending more time there. I’d recommend it to anyone (and have).

I’m really happy to have a coffee shop in the neighborhood! The breakfast sandwich was surprisingly good, despite being mostly pre-​made. However, the person working behind the counter on a Saturday morning was kind of rude, and I was a bit turned off when I saw another employee bringing in and packing the fridge with juice boxes from Costco.

My husband and I came for breakfast on a Sunday morning. (We’re at 15^th and G NE, so not quite walking distance, but glad to see and visit fun businesses opening between H St and Eastern Market.) We shared a breakfast sandwich and a pastry — both were pre-​prepared and pre-​wrapped. The interior makes an effort to be cozy and unique, but really not enough seating to go around (I think they are applying for outdoor seating?). Overall, between the pre-​wrapped, reheated food served on a flimsy paper plate and plastic utensils wrapped in plastic with accompanying paper napkin, and the lack of seating (esp tables for two) it didn’t really inspire us to come back again.

A beacon of light in my Saturday madness! I’m at Eastern HS for hours on Saturdays while the kids have music lessons. Mia’s is a welcome distraction. Iced coffee is great and the «Christian“sandwich was fine. My only request is to use plates and get some cushions for the pew. Otherwise it’s lovely.

Love that we have Mia’s in our neighborhood. The staff is always friendly, their breakfast sandwiches are great (Beef barbacoa w/​egg and cheese every time,) and the drinks are too. Their horchata ruined all other drinks for me (in a good way.)
My only complaint is that nearly every time I’m there they’re out of something that I’d like to order. To add to that it’s often the same items and has happened as early as an hour after they’ve opened.
Oh — also outdoor seating would be nice. There’s always a dog or two sitting outside.
Keep making great stuff, just make sure you have enough of it!

Just moved to the neighborhood and this was the first place I tried. The sandwich I had was INCREDIBLE and the tea was great too. Loved the vibe of the place though the space wasn’t very efficiently laid out. There’s not too much seating. Other suggestions include better signage outside and taking the pastries out of plastic wrap for the display. I know plastic wrap keeps them fresher but it doesn’t look too appealing. Perhaps keep out a few old pastries for display and keep the ones that you’ll serve behind the counter wrapped in plastic.

Excellent horchata; rich, thick, with underlying tones of vanilla, nutmeg, and loads of cinnamon. The beef, egg, manchego breakfast sandwich is superb. I had a little doubt it would be good, with the egg pre-​cooked, but the meat was simmering all day and the toaster oven evenly cooked everything to perfection. They also have a nice tea selection of quality loose leaf teas. I’m glad I live so close!

The limonada was so glorious — it’s basically a fancy adult slushie. This coffeehouse is right down the block from my house, so I’m definitely going to be a regular. I had The Christian sandwich, but it was extremely difficult to decide between the options. The names of the sandwiches are family names! How effing cute is that?

First, thank you Mia’s for opening in our neighborhood. I have been waiting for a coffee shop to open nearby for years and I’m so glad you’re here. The staff is so nice and the space is welcoming. And I always notice the great tunes on the sound system! I ordered a latte which was great and my husband ordered pour over.
Now, about that pour over. This review offers a criticism I hope can be corrected because my husband and I are thrilled you’re here AND we’re pour over fans. I went in with my husband yesterday and watched the man prepare the pour over my husband ordered. It was all wrong! The barista had not been trained on proper pour over technique and it was hard to watch being the coffee snob I am!
He used the same beans that were being used for the drip (we watched him grind them altogether using the same grind and we watched as he took some of those ground beans out to use for the pour over while he used the rest for drip). Why give a choice of beans if staff doesn’t use them? He did not fold or rinse the filter. He did not let the ground beans ‘bloom’ for any length of time. He just poured as fast as he could until he got a full cup. No pouring technique. No timing. The brew time altogether was about two minutes. It was disappointing to watch knowing you’re paying a premium for the service of pour over. Of course the resulting cup was not as good as expected! I believe the man behind the counter felt pressured for time as there was a line forming but that is no reason to use bad technique.
Please train all staff on correct pour over technique if the service is offered and make sure they implement their technique consistently.
We will be back but will probably just order a drip coffee next time – why pay a premium for pour over when it’s not done correctly?

THANK GOODNESS WE HAVE A COFFEE SHOP! That is how I responded when I saw what was coming two blocks from my house. Awesome staff, great (and oh so strong) coffee. Not only do I love this place… so does my pup. This morning we walked by it, she sat down, she refused to budge until I promised that we would return soon for more treats.
Thank you for being a welcome addition to the neighborhood. Look forward to trying all of the food!

Had an excellent experience during my first (of hopefully many) visits to this new spot. The coffee was great, service was quick and friendly, and the environment was perfectly comfortable. I found it to be a great spot for getting some work done, with free wifi and a reasonable noise level. Highly recommend!

Had the pleasure of visiting this place tonight. I have been anxiously awaiting the opening of this coffeehouse and was not disappointed. The coffee was great, the sandwich I had was delicious, and the sweet tea was some of the best I have ever had and I grew up in the south. The ambiance was very relaxed and is a nice spot for chilling out and relaxing. Jeff and his wife Jenohn were very, very hospitable and engaging. We live in Frederick, MD and will definitely be visiting again.

Welcome to the neighborhood, Mia’s!
My five stars are for:
–the atmosphere — a much-​needed comfortable neighborhood gathering place
–the staff — friendly and efficient, and owner Jeff is engaging
–the coffee drinks — both the breakfast blend and a skim latte were great ways to start my day
–the signature horchata — rice milk, vanilla, cinnamon over ice — yum!
–the potential — permits are in the works for patio seating and after-​work beverages, so this place is just going to get better and better!

**UPDATE: Now that Mia’s open, I stopped by on Day 3 of them opening. I ordered the egg and bacon breakfast sandwhich (it was decent) and the horchata (I loved it because it was so sweet, but they filled the cup with so much ice, I definitely didn’t get my money’s worth). There isn’t much seating and the wifi is decent. I’d go back because it’s in the neighborhood.
Walking to the local corner store, I stumbled upon the owners (Jeff and his wife who’s name she promised I’d forgot. I was determined to remember, but turns out she won.) setting up shop. They were so generous to give me a tour and it looks awesome. Seating for many with strong wifi. The owner is a chef and is determined to make DC’s best espresso. They are opening in June 2015. Stop by and support a local business.
