MI Café at Marriott International HQ

My cappuccino was like a gas station quality, I hope they consider training their baristas more because I usually love La Colombe brand coffee. Beware the hours here are limited & no complimentary parking available. Otherwise a comfy place to lounge or work.

Great quality coffee shop at the Marriott International HQ

I recently stopped by La Colombe Coffee Roasters in Bethesda, and it was an absolute delight. The aroma of freshly roasted coffee beans filled the air, creating a cozy atmosphere. The baristas were friendly and knowledgeable, and the coffee they served was simply exceptional. I highly recommend trying their specialty blends for a truly memorable coffee experience.

Honestly, your money can be better spent elsewhere. I ordered an avocado matcha smoothie and a spinach quiche. The smoothie tasted okay, but lacked in flavor as it was very plain. The quiche was extremely tiny, it was put in a round container that's smaller than a yogurt container. The cafe has nice seating areas to study or work. But the food could've been better.

A sad place with much potential. Coffee here was above par but unfortunately it ends there. Place is pretty comfortable but dead, lifeless and uninviting. For such a cafe one would expect some variety of eatables however the choice is very limited. Croissant were like from a prepacked packet. If you are caught in the rain then by all means pop in otherwise there are plenty of much better places to go to.

This place is from Marriott International hotel. Orderd Cotardo. it is NOT same quality from La columbe coffee shop although the atmosphere is great.

The coffee was excellent, the attendants attentive, the avocado toast just ok. A nice spread of avocado on what seemed to be a large bun (or very doughy bagel). I ordered it with what I thought was described as a fried egg on top, but looked anything but fried. The egg was flat with the yolk hard in the middle, but no grill marks. It also was served on one side of the large bun serving as toast, which confused me because I wasn't sure if I was supposed to just eat the entire meal as an avocado-egg sandwich . Overall, definitely a great place to visit, enjoy some great coffee, and do some work while enjoying the atmosphere
