What our guests are saying

Came here for a couple Cuban coffees. Got the Cafe Con Leche and the seasonal Carrot Cake Latte, which was delightful, and sat upstairs on the roof on a gorgeous morning. What a lovely spot, I'd come here again. There's ample seating, both outside and in. Can't wait to come back and try the food!

Colada shop is a hybrid between a coffee shop/cafe/bar (with a cozy rooftop) and does each of those pieces quiet well.I’ve been here multiple times with friends and also just on dates and I can say the food and drink have always been quite good. The concept of this place is for the most part very cool and is honestly pretty different from what I’ve experienced in DC.

Let’s start from the foods here: the two sandwiches I had here made me forget about all the cuban sandwiches I had eaten before. Its taste is completely another level. So I would say that this is kind of a place where you would be willing to go even only for the foods. What’s stunning about this place is that other things—beyond the foods and drinks—are all exceptional as well. Such a cool ambiance, lovely service and a lot of seating availabilities with variety.
