From a press release:
“The Union Market District continues its commitment to nurturing burgeoning local businesses with the arrival of The Village Cafe (1272 5th Street NE), slated for a soft opening on October 9, followed by a grand opening on October 23.

Thanks to Mark for sending:
“They are wonderful. Lots of filling, flaky crust, juicy and hot. I prefer the chicken one. Their coffee is also very good. They’ve twice had their window broken, most recently in a burglary. This small, independent shop could use all the business they can get.”
