Known forlocal roasterspecialty coffeeDC-bornlaptop friendly
A DC-born roaster that started in a tiny Shaw storefront and has grown into a beloved local chain without losing its craft focus. The single-origin pour-overs and the house blend espresso drinks are consistently excellent. Multiple locations across the city make it convenient, but the original Shaw spot has the most character. Lines can get long on weekend mornings.
