MI Café at Marriott International HQ

I went to the pop-up event for a breakfast burrito & horchata w espresso. Staff was nice enough I thought the burrito was disappointing. It wasn’t well wrapped. The flavors were ok, nothing spectacular. The highlight was the quac - that was very fresh and tasty. Another disappointment was the horchata: it was overly sweet and not very flavorful. If you are looking for good breakfast burritos, I highly recommend Monstera at Grace Street Coffee in Bethesda and Georgetown. Also, maybe because this is a hotel, security was very present and visible. Not the most relaxing environment to eat and drink

This is supposed to be a LaColombe cafe right? Nizza is the flagship espresso right? Well I've been in three times recently and have been unable to purchase whole bean Nizza coffee. The excuses vary from "we're out" to "I don't even know how much to charge you" to "this is our last bag of Nizza beans and I can't sell any to you". One server asked "have you spoken with our manager?". Hmmm. That's not my job but someone at MI Cafe needs to do theirs better.

I recently stopped by La Colombe Coffee Roasters in Bethesda, and it was an absolute delight. The aroma of freshly roasted coffee beans filled the air, creating a cozy atmosphere. The baristas were friendly and knowledgeable, and the coffee they served was simply exceptional. I highly recommend trying their specialty blends for a truly memorable coffee experience.

The coffee was excellent, the attendants attentive, the avocado toast just ok. A nice spread of avocado on what seemed to be a large bun (or very doughy bagel). I ordered it with what I thought was described as a fried egg on top, but looked anything but fried. The egg was flat with the yolk hard in the middle, but no grill marks. It also was served on one side of the large bun serving as toast, which confused me because I wasn't sure if I was supposed to just eat the entire meal as an avocado-egg sandwich . Overall, definitely a great place to visit, enjoy some great coffee, and do some work while enjoying the atmosphere

Honestly, your money can be better spent elsewhere. I ordered an avocado matcha smoothie and a spinach quiche. The smoothie tasted okay, but lacked in flavor as it was very plain. The quiche was extremely tiny, it was put in a round container that's smaller than a yogurt container. The cafe has nice seating areas to study or work. But the food could've been better.
