Yay for cute cafes! Minjeand I stopped by Coffee Fi Roastery earlier today, and we had such a lovely time. The space is honestly adorable – cozy, aesthetic, and totally the kind of place you could post up with your laptop or catch up with a friend. Think warm lighting, clean design, and a relaxing vibe that just feels good as soon as you walk in.
What We Ordered…
They had a tempting lineup of pastries on display, but since we had just eaten lunch, we decided to stick to drinks this time. I ordered a miel latte, and she went with an iced matcha!
If pastries are more your speed, Sunday Morning Bakehouse in North Bethesda is just a short drive away and worth the trip for their almond croissants and rotating pastry lineup.
And quick FYI if you’re not familiar: “miel” means “honey” in Spanish. This drink typically includes espresso, steamed milk, honey, cinnamon, and vanilla – basically cozy season in a cup. Their version was beautifully balanced and lightly sweet without being overwhelming. I got mine with whole milk, but they also offer oat milk as well.
Coffee Quality + Beans
One thing I loved? They focus on single-origin Ethiopian beans roasted in-house, which gives everything a bright, fresh, well-developed flavor. They source their beans directly from farms and roast on-site, so you really taste the care and craft behind each cup. I definitely need to try one of their pour-overs next time!
Good to Know
In case you’re planning a visit, there’s a small parking lot right out front + street parking. Their space is intimate but there are several outlets + tables available. They also sell their beans, so you can take home a bag if you love what you taste.
If you want to turn the morning into a full Bethesda run, PopUp Bagels is close by and makes a great follow-up stop for their rip-and-dip bagels.
