$
Known forspecialty coffeeCapitol Hillespresso barDC institution

A Capitol Hill institution that helped define DC's specialty coffee scene and still delivers some of the best espresso in the city. The Eastern Market location is a perfect post-market stop, and the beans are sourced and roasted with real care. Seating is minimal so most people grab and go. The Gibraltar (a cortado-style drink) is the order here.
