Hallowed Grounds Coffee Company

Service was very good - barista was kind and attentive. The atmosphere was cozy and well furnished - seats maybe 8 or so. The coffee is sourced from a farm in Guatemala year round. I love family/local roasters but the pourover was a bit funky (perhaps not rested enough or a touch stale) and became bitter as the cup cooled down. There were some sweet notes in the initial sip / front of mouth though (that faded quickly). For $4 or so per cup, I can’t complain too much for a single origin cup in MD but I reckon this place better suits latte/cappuccino/non-pourover folk.

I got the latte. I drink a lot of coffee and I really like the flavor of the Guatemalan beans that they had, light and not too bitter and just the right amount of caffeine. They also roast their coffee at the spot so its very fresh. It was also only $5 for the coffee! I also liked that they had milk alternatives without extra cost! Location is small and its not very noticeable from the outside due to the tent out front. No syrups or anything. Just straight coffee.

Very excited to find this place. There are lots of good speciality coffee places in DC but I’ve been underwhelmed with the number in this part of the county, and unfortunately have defaulted a lot to Starbucks (not great). Hallowed Grounds is quality coffee, actually tastes fresh, and I am really excited to have found it!!

This is our favorite place to get coffee. We love the extra light roast, and we often get pounds of it to go home with. Tony and his employees are very accommodating and friendly. We’re so thrilled to have a lovely local coffee shop to go to!

It was hard to find a good coffee, but I think I finally found it. A place like a hidden gem, a kind staff ☕️🩷
