Davenport Coffee Lounge
CafeAbout Davenport Coffee Lounge
Set near New Mexico Ave in the heart of Tenleytown, Davenport draws a steady crowd of students and locals who appreciate its welcoming staff and approachable, campus-lounge feel. Reviewers rave about the drinks—matcha lattes, cookie butter lattes, and even single-origin Ethiopian coffee—and the baristas who move quickly even during busy rushes. Bring your own cup for a small discount, a nice touch for the sustainability-minded.
The space is clean, cozy, and comfortable, though it can get a bit loud with music and conversation, and quality can be hit or miss during the busiest school-year hours. Food leans toward grab-and-go—pastries, bagels, muffins, and ham and cheese croissants—reasonably priced and convenient. It's a solid neighborhood spot whether you need a quiet place to work or a quick, friendly cup.
