Colada Shop

Colada Shop is a Cuban cafe, coffee shop and cocktail bar at 1405 T St NW, just off 14th Street. Google describes a lively cafe for Cuban coffee drinks and light fare, plus cocktails.

It has a 4.5-star Google rating across about 1,100 reviews. Empanadas are by far the most-mentioned item, followed by the Cuban sandwich, the rooftop, pastelitos, happy hour, churros, croquetas and outdoor seating. Recent reviewers praise the coffees, chia pudding, a sunny space and friendly staff, though some find it a little pricey. One saw a mouse indoors, another found the tostones too hard, and one could not reach anyone to cancel an order.

It opens at 7:30 AM every day, closing at 9 PM Sunday through Wednesday and 10 PM Thursday through Saturday. Google lists a wheelchair-accessible entrance and seating, and it also offers catering.
