This cozy spot offers a warm, authentic experience with a welcoming atmosphere created by a passionate couple. The friendly staff and inviting setting make it a perfect destination for those seeking gluten-free options in a comfortable environment.
Came to D.C just for a day trip and this was my first stop before heading to the NMWA and was very pleased overall with the quality of the food and beverage and friendliness of the staff 💛. I ordered a small iced sunshine latte (turmeric and ginger) with whole milk and one of their breakfast arepas (I'm gluten-free so this was a delicious option since the arepa is naturally gluten-free) and my order came to $19.00 including tax & tip. The sunshine latte is very balanced and subtly sweet and the breakfast arepa warmed me right up since it's so freezing out right now (I *loved* the guasacaca that came with it). The only downside is that Nativo is located right by the front doors so you definitely will feel the weather outside but of course this didn't affect the quality of my experience, just something to note. The staff/owners were very sweet and helpful and if I lived here in D.C I would definitely be coming here every week 💛💛💛.

Great coffee, great food! Plenty of gluten free options! Cute couple own the place and they are doing their best to bring their culture and experience to their awesome food. Their arepa dishes are creative(and GF), and the guasacaca sauce they make is to die for.
