Pitango Gelato & Cafe 1841 Columbia Road Northwest, Washington, District of Columbia 20009

"If you like good focaccia, coffee, and charcuterie, don't pass on this place. It's fantastic coffee and really, really perfect focaccia. I am still thinking about the sandwich I had hours later. Cool attention to the prosciutto sourcing process as well. I often walk past places like this curiously, and keep walking -- newer places that cater upmarket aren't always accessible to everyone. But this is truly a friendly neighborhood cafe and I like coming here to treat myself to a sandwich every couple months. (Bonus, it's right next to the pharmacy and on a good bus line).Will keep it as a ritual whenever life allows."

"Pitango is great for a drink, bite to eat, and to work as it has plenty of seating. The manager and employees are nice. My only critique is they seem to have poor ventilation/air quality. I don't have asthma or any breathing problems and I always feel like I'm struggling to breathe in there while they are cooking something."

"Nice atmosphere and staff - however, I am shocked about the $1,25 extra fee for alternative milk. That’s the most expensive add-on fee on alternative milk I’ve come across in the area. Some of us have health issues and cannot drink dairy, so it is frustrating to be paying that much more just for an alternative. It is already not a cheap place and serves the drinks in small cup for a pretty high price - almost $8 for a small basic chai tea hurts a lot!"

"Can’t judge the food, since we didn’t get to enjoy it. We walked there with my daughter , first of all had to wait until we were able to find free table. The free tables were full with dirty dishes and it took a while until someone came to clean up. The stuff wouldn’t greet and wouldn’t pay attention to waiting customers, completely ignoring us and walking by. I had to call someone to come and wipe the table . She came with such attitude, unhappy , without saying hello and grumpy faced . She wiped the table in hostile silence, like we forced her to do something unpleasant. When we wanted to order food, there was another unpleasant surprise, they don’t accept cash , only cards. I live abroad and I had only dollars in cash , so we had to leave after wasting so long time waiting for table. What a bad service . Won’t recommend anybody ."

"First time at this location. Came to check out the Boozy Gelato which was excellent by the way! The sandwich was pretty good but on the expensive side. The latte was pretty good as well. Looking forward to going back to try the new flavors of boozy gelato while it's in season!"
