Harry Thomas Way and Eckington Place NE
Ed. Note: Qualia announced they would not be reopening their Petworth location, now home to Snappy’s, back in 2023.
From an email:
“After nearly eight years of serving the Eckington neighborhood, we have reached the end of our lease term. Despite the ongoing support of our landlords through the difficulties of the past five years, operating a brick-and-mortar business in DC is an increasingly costly proposition. It has always been our sincerest hope to be an asset to the community and positive force in the neighborhood. Unfortunately, intentions alone are not sufficient to finance a business.
And so, our last day of serving the public will be Monday, November 25.
We hope to see a lot of you, our friends and supporters, over the next couple months. We also invite you to sign up for our mailing list so we can keep you updated about markets and pop-ups where you can find us. We will continue to roast in DC and distribute our beans through our friends at NEAR.delivery and by mail order. We very much appreciate your support and look forward to serving you in the future.
Joel and the Qualia Crew”
