"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."

"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!"

"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!!"

"Always happy to see and try family owned cafés. Sick and tired of the chains. You know who you are. Service was very welcoming and cosy. Coffee was flavorful and strong and best of all; priced reasonably. You can buy beans for your machine at home. Whole or ground. There is seating outside. And I noticed a pastry shelf but was empty 😏 Give them a try."

"We walked over Saturday morning for a delicious latte. Wonderfully smooth and warm, can't wait to try other offerings. The beans from Guatemala are roasted in house!"
