La Jolie Bleue Bakery & Cafe opens in former Bharati, fast casual Indian, (original Dolcezza) space


1560 Wisconsin Ave, NW

Bharati only opened up in the original Dolcezza space in April 2018 and closed in May of this year.

La Jolie Bleue’s Facebook says:

“In 2009, we (The Slimani Family) started out on the farmers market scene as Bakery LePintemp, participating in several Farmer’s Markets in the DMV area. This was a venture mostly started out of pleasure of baking and sharing our flavors with others. On weekends in Olney, Fairfax, Kensington and Eastern Market after coordinating soccer game drop offs and pick ups, we set up, selling our hand made authentic crafts as a Family. After much positive feed back and exponential growth in sales and demand this soon became a full time rewarding adventure. In the summer of 2019 we decided to go on to the next step, opening up in Georgetown, La Jolie Bleue was born!

Our name, as it is described, the beautiful blue, is a direct reference to the Mediterranean Sea, the connecting body of water where flavors has traveled in all directions since antiquity. A proud heritage based on respect of the land and sea. All natural, fresh and honest food prepared with love! We are committed to serving our guests the same food we serve our kids.”

Whoa. Sweet. Anyone take an early taste?

Potomac Harmony is Back! Following a gap year of competing, then virtual rehearsals during the pandemic, followed by the well-earned retirement of our long-term director, a year of a director search, Potomac Harmony hit the regional contest stage in Concord, North Carolina in March for the first time since 2018! It was exhilarating, reaffirming, and rewarding!

The chorus hit all of its goals, the biggest of which was to have fun and sing our best on contest stage — we did both! Because we earned a score over 400 points, our new Director, Allison Lynskey, was awarded the Novice Director award, photo above. Additionally, one of our charter members, Jackie Bottash, was nominated for and honored with the Leadership Excellence award. It was a celebratory weekend!

What’s next? So much! We now look forward to upcoming performances, growing our membership, and expanding our musical product with new arrangements and an education component each week. It’s an exciting time to be part of this ever-growing ensemble!
