M. E. Swing Coffee House

Great coffee. And I can get my mason jars filled with beans here. I appreciate the low waste option.

Decent place for a coffee. Stopped in for a cappuccino on a weekday morning and it was quite busy. They got through orders reasonably quickly. Very few places to sit so if you’re looking for a coffee shop to hang out for awhile in, this wouldn’t be the place. Overall very solid.

Great coffee a stones throw from the White House. The espresso was superb.

They are the best, specially Sarah

The best for local DC coffee. Forget other local spots like Compass, La Colombe, etc., they are not 100+ years old local like Swing's. I am delighted that the G Street location re-opened with most of the same friendly staff and a similar look and feel to the old spot. (Note: I know that THIS location is not 100+ years old, but the business is what I'm referencing in this post).

In my top 3 best coffee places in the DMV. close to touristy areas and a really good roaster. Really good staff that are actually nice... hard to find in DC!

Perfect place for great cup of coffee. Don't worry about the line- it moves fast! The coffee is very smooth, and infinitely better than that 'other' coffee place! Definitely try a bagel too. Service is friendly and efficient. You won't go wrong starting your day here.

Wonderful coffee roastery with a lot of history and character. Despite its institution status, they still offer all the espresso and filter coffee types popular in trendy bars today. Definitely a must-visit for real coffee lovers.

Coffee here is top notch, there is often a line.. For a reason. It is a hidden coffee shop that everyone in area knows about. It's worth the wait.

Very good house blend and coffees from all over the world for sale. Lovely ambience too!

Swing Coffee Roasters is a roastery outside of DC in Alexandria, Virginia and this was their first DC coffee shop in the city. It's one of the closest coffee shops near the White House and Renwick Gallery and recently reopened from renovations.It's a small shop, but they do a good job of squeezing in enough seating for everyone. They have window seats and small high tables that can sit two people.It's a simply, classy atmosphere with tiles, lights, and a wooden ladder emerging from the seating area into...well...no where. It seems random, but then you realize it hits their overall vibe.The coffee itself is good, rich, and smooth. Their latte is one of the best in downtown DC.

Finally REOPENED sometime in February. Staff with a passion for coffee, prompt service, best lattes in town. A must-visit for coffee aficionados.

Great coffee, cute (small) location, friendly staff. What more to say?

Best flat white I've had outside of Australia

Good service.
