This is a great a spot. Of course I still need to do my PoP Public Service Announcement. So, I will: We have one more month before the mosquitos go absolutely crazy. So for the next month this is a great coffee spot after that it’s time to bust out the deet and that may flavor the coffee in a less than appealing way.


Lots of people I’ve spoken to have been pretty passionate about Creme located on U Street between 13th and 14th. And it certainly always seems to be jam packed. Actually it usually so crowded that I haven’t had a chance to eat there yet. So what’s the scoop is it great homestyle cooking? How’s the brunch?


The original Mocha Hut on 14th Street in 14th St. Heights is open and looking good. I tried to ask the owner why they were closed for so long but she just smiled and said “there were a number of reasons”. But the important thing here is that they are back in business and the coffee was as delicious as ever.


Thanks to a reader for sending me this tip. Sure enough I walked past the great coffee shop on 14th Street and saw this note attached to the door. “An attempt to establish new management”? I’ve never heard that one before. Someone decode this for me, please. It is a shame because 14U Cafe is (was) one of the best coffee shops in the city. I’m super curious to know what may have happened…stealing? Insubordination? Any ideas?


I’ve always wondered how this great spot located on T Street next door to St. Ex could remain closed. Unfortunately when I walked by there was nobody to ask when it was reopening. Anyone know when it will be reopening?


Lavazza coffee. That is some good stuff. Incidentally I’ve tried to make some good coffee at my home and it turns out I am completely incapable. You know you hear, so and so makes a great cup of coffee? Well, what is the secret to making a great cup of coffee at home?
