Wonderful coffee shop tucked in amongst a series of restaurants on the ground floor of the Black Bird building just south of the metro stop. A very tasty iced latte with a proprietary syrup called Little Miss Sunshine was recommended by the friendly staff; they have wonderful pastries and cozy couches in addition to traditional seating.

I've had Espresso drinks here before and they were fine, but today's vanilla latte tasted like regular coffee. Worst latte I've had in a long time. I would rather have sent them an email or called than write this review, but they don't have a real web site and I did not find a phone number or any other contact info for them.

This is a great little coffee shop. The server (Andi) was really sweet and I received my latte quickly. I got a seasonal special (Peak Bloom Latte) that was delicious! The music isn’t too loud or obnoxious. There’s plants scattered about and big open windows with lots of sunlight. It’s a great place to get some work done.

  • Sarah OMalley

Great place to telework. Definitely try their seasonal beverages. If you’re not in the mood for coffee, the taro milk tea was delicious. I also loved the speck breakfast sandwich from Leni next door. Everything was flavorful and I would definitely come back to try more espresso/coffee beverages and baked goods.

  • Brianne Fischer

Thank goodness for a solid local coffee shop in this part of DC! Coffee was delicious and staff were great. There are a few outdoor tables and the indoor seating is good for social distancing. Loved the overall vibe and DC merchandise. The card/ gift selection is on point. Can’t wait to visit again soon!

  • Kira

The baristas are very friendly and it’s a nice area to relax. But their hot drinks are NEVER hot, they are always lukewarm. They have interesting seasonal drink concepts, but the execution needs some tweaking. I tried the peach cobbler latte and there were little peach chunks at the bottom :(

  • Theresa DiPeppe

I love Cameo so much -- especially for days I want a change of scenery for working remote. The coffee is wonderful as is the food. They also have a ton of cute stuff from local creators that make great gifts or fun presents for yourself :) More

  • Dondré

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

  • Jennifer Bendery

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

  • Hind KH

There is no sign outside so I was kinda lost. First of all, I really like the place. It is bright that has big window. There are variety of seating options. I like the colors of their decoration.

  • Dominic Campbell

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. More

  • Jason Huffnagle

One of my favorite shops in the city. Huge shoutout to Jordan, who almost always has my order ready before I even walk up to the counter. Cameo staff = rock stars More

  • Jennifer Sawyer (Emikoftokyo)

The coffee is good and I have ordered most of the items on the coffee list. Most of the staff is nice and they make my drink correctly. Very quaint place. More

  • Lakeisha Skinner

I stopped by this coffee shop off the random to work out some 2023 goals. Cameo is located in the food hall called The Roost in SE DC, off Pennsylvania Ave.

  • Roshan Paul

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! More
