I love Simona in Arlington so was excited to get another chance to have it, this time in noma! I came early Wednesday morning about 30 minutes after they opened. It was pretty quiet so I decided to eat there. I got an iced coffee with milk and a chocolate croissant. The employees were so friendly and welcoming, and I love when cafes have actual plates and mugs for customers that eat there. My iced coffee was great and my chocolate croissant was delicious! So warm and soft. I like that each table has a little flower pot which has the Wi-Fi password listed. It makes it convenient to not get up to find the password at the counter or asking someone. Their fall specialty drinks looked good too, especially the brown sugar pumpkin. I hope to come back and try it before it’s gone!
Found this spot via google maps and was near the hotel during my stay in DC.
A very spacious and beautiful place! I loved the decor and style.
The person serving me was very welcoming and helpful, they eventually made my coffee.
This place is card only and no cash.
I opted for a cookie which was amazing and I appreciated the coffee cup! Very nice.
I only deducted a star as my coffee was lukewarm otherwise a 5* establishment.
Nice coffee to stop by for a coffee or to seat and have a breakfast. I tried its seasonal pumpkin latte and it’s really good! I like the atmosphere of the place
This is my favorite neighborhood coffee shop! I come here almost every day. The coffee is excellent and has only gotten better with the recent efforts to evolve the shop and its offerings. My favorite part, though, is the friendly and welcoming staff. Reggie is always ready to answer my questions about the various coffee processes they use. Brittany makes a point to greet me every time I come in, even if she’s busy in the kitchen and only has a quick moment to peek her head out and wave. Queen and I have connected over our beloved pets, and she always asks how my puppy (the second love of my life) is doing. Nat has made it their mission to dial my coffee order in perfectly (and, trust me, they make a heavenly latte). These and the other wonderful people I have the pleasure of seeing here regularly elevate this store from a simple coffee shop to a local staple.

I found out about sweet science coffee in the daily coffee news. I realized I had to go and I walked over 40 minutes to get there and back. I would have walked much, much further. I have been to many coffee shops in many cities in the United States and most have pastries.This coffee shop pastries are beyond outstanding. So much so that I left with two bags of the pastries. Even if you are not a coffee drinker it's worth going simply for the pastries. They have two talented pastry chefs on-site and that makes all the difference. It is also my understanding that in the afternoon there is a different pastry offering which I have not yet had the pleasure of trying. When it comes to the coffee this is a very unique shop in that they have your typical espresso drinks but with very great coffees. In the multiple brewing area, which opens at 10:00 a.m. daily, those really interested exploring the limitless bounds of coffee flavors will be delighted with all the options. Hopefully, the photos will give you a good idea of the ever-changing coffee options and the available brewing methods. One of the very unique aspects of this coffee shop is that they determine which brew method is the best for a specific coffee and yes you should leave it to the professionals. I see this more and more at the better coffee shops where they will use the brew method that best suits the coffees flavor profile. You will have the opportunity to taste coffee flavors that you would never think are possible. Enjoy.
Nice and original coffee shop, lounge atmosphere minus the lounge sofas unfortunately, but relaxing lofi music 🎶
Food is tasty, flies 🪰on pastries slightly less though…so maybe a closed display would be better…
I do back up previous comment mentioning the lack of cleanliness of tables…
Lastly unexpected but quiet and not too busy location 📍
I had a mocha☕️, chocolate dip and apple pastrie 🥐! Overall I enjoyed the place !
(Without ‘naming’ , make sure your waitresses actually greet clients, it’s the minimum in customer facing positions even more in a coffee shop : first one that took my order almost sounded rude, thankfully second waitress later saved the day !)
Great little shop, a great break from the chains. Staff are super friendly and welcoming. I had a muffin and latte and ended up being fantastic. We received the wrong beverage while we were here, but that’s the only down for us! Great stop, really recommend! They really do care for their craft!
I came here because I was alone Thanksgiving, and needed to get out prior to an afternoon engagement. They were open, efficient, and the place was beautifully quiet. 10/10 would recommend for anyone who needs a moment with good food and silence.
Wonderful little non-descript coffee shop with some really interesting seasonal drinks! I got a cold brew, but was interested in their Kyoto cold brew that was sold out. I really wanna try the clarity seasonal drink because its a soda with an espresso concentrate!
The staff were very nice, and the steam punk/science aesthetic was on point. I would come here to hang out. Not necessarily to study though, it wasn't super loungey. Also marking down because the tables were not the cleanest even though I came in when it looked like there was downtime.
Also has a single stalled gender neutral restroom with keypad that you get from the baristas.
Amazing atmosphere, I feel welcomed and the coffee is great. There is this one worker ( I think their name is Nat ) who is so kind and establishes community with every customer including myself. One of the reasons I keep going back is them ( and the delicious coffee )!
