The Coffee Bar – Charm and personality

"The Coffee Bar" is a wonderful coffee spot in Washington DC, in a somewhat quiet area. I love their outside patio to enjoy my coffee with some sun.

Kramerbooks & Afterwords – Bookstore and cafe

"Kramerbooks & Afterwords" Washington DC's Dupont Circle is an old-school bookstore with a café/bar & a restaurant. It's one of my favorites of this style.

Tryst

Tryst – Coffeehouse, bar, lounge

"Tryst" bills itself as Washington DC's living room. On a cold morning, I feel lucky to snag a couch by the gas fire, sink in & order a truly fine coffee.
