I really enjoyed the sausage egg and cheese muffin that I got, egg seemed fresh and fried perfectly. Iced mocha latte was above average.

Quick and efficient service, the staff have always been friendly. A food place to stop for a (relatively cheap) cup of coffee or a grab a quick sandwich to go. It's not Starbucks, but you won't drop $8 on a cup of coffee here either.

The only place to have moca that wasn’t Starbucks or Dunkin’ Peet’s coffee's machines were broke and they were very rude

They were open at 4:00am on a Sunday. Service was quick and friendly. Specialty coffee and various hot breakfast sandwiches were available. So glad to have this before a 6am flight. Nothing else was open.

A 5 AM Lifesaver Stopping at Capital Grounds at 5 a.m. in Dulles Airport was the perfect decision. On my way to Minneapolis for my Uncle Mike's afterlife celebration, I was really in need of a pick-me-up. I'm so glad I chose this spot. The staff was incredibly quick and efficient, getting my order for an iced mocha with an extra shot ready in no time. The drink was made absolutely perfectly. Love, love, love this coffee! It was exactly the smooth, rich caffeine boost I needed to start a long travel day. Thank you for the perfect coffee and great service!

I had a quick layover and wanted to grab some coffee and this place was near my gate. They had quick service and made a pretty good iced caramel macchiato. Just the right amount of sweet and you can still taste the coffee.
