Dupont Coffee Collective “waiting on some final approvals—almost there!” at the old Firehook space

“Dear PoPville,

Any news on when Dupont Coffee Collective, the spot taking over the Firehook space (1909 Q Street, NW), is expected to open? They have had a note on the door for awhile, but wondering if anyone knows a more specific day or time frame.”

A week ago they shared on their IG:

“We’re waiting on some final approvals—almost there! Thanks for your support as we prepare to open.”

For those not familiar with DCC:

“Dupont Coffee Collective is a vibrant new chapter for the beloved Dupont Circle coffee spot you know and love.

Now entirely owned and operated by our dedicated employee team, we’re proud to continue serving locally roasted coffee alongside a fresh selection of sweet and savory treats.

As a business rooted in community, we’re committed to giving back—donating 10% of our profits to local food non-profits and supporting the neighborhood that supports us.

Thank you for your loyalty and for joining us as we brew great coffee, foster connections, and make a positive impact in Dupont Circle!
