Cameo - Calumet-Norvelt

This place has the best coffee in the area, BY FAR! Some servers can be a bit grumpy but some are really warm too. Decent food as well!

Cameo is the best! Staff and management are friendly and food and drinks are always good.

I am reluctant to promote Cameo because I want to keep this gem of a cafe all to myself. BUT in the name of supporting local DC businesses, here I am. I've been coming here for years and it's become as regular a pit stop as the grocery store or Target. Best tea in the city. Actually delicious bakery items (versus generic, right out of a plastic wrapper croissants and muffins). The baristas are very good at what they do, especially Jordan, who is fast, crafty and has no time for your nonsense. Can't endorse this crew enough, or this space, which is tied to a much bigger food hall that also has delicious food offerings. I am SO glad Cameo is on Capitol Hill. Support them! But also, don't go there that much so I can get a seat!Kid friendliness: Very kid friendly. Kids run around here all the time as parents take a load off on the couches and at the tables.

Am a total coffee snob so trust me when I say this is the best coffee in DC. Proper flat whites as they’re meant to be, delicious pastries. Great vibes and lovely team. The best.

This coffee shop has some pretty solid food options, more than just baked goods. They also have a variety of drinks and pastries. It's in a good location and has outdoor seating and is connected to a food hall. It's cool if you want to stop in for a quick breakfast or sit inside and enjoy some quiet time while working. There is a good amount of seating inside.
