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?
While Granny Smith Apple may be a bit odd, I’d say Coffee (fifth choice on the left) would be a pretty unusual flavor to add to one’s coffee…
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?
Big props to Nani’s for replacing their temporary sign with this nice proper one. Be sure to check them out if you live in the Park View Neighborhood. They are located at Sherman and Harvard and make a mean cappuccino…
I had heard a lot of good stories about how awesome Big Bear is. And it is pretty damn awesome. If you live right near there you are indeed very lucky. It’s got great big windows and free wireless and nice food choices. I was excited to try the prosciutto and gruyere croissant but unfortunately they had run out. But I did have a very nice cucumber and hummous sandwich. Now, believe me, I wish Petworth had a Big Bear of its own. But in the meantime I think Columbia Heights Coffee is poised to take this mantle. Columbia Heights Coffee has it all as well, except it’s a little too small. So I hope with their upcoming expansion they will offer the same roomy atmosphere as Big Bear. After the jump see a photo of posters for a knitting club and book club held at Big Bear. (more…)
Don’t tell me coffee is temporary. I want my coffee to relax and listen to the birds chirp. Don’t make me think about achieving something on a Sunday morning when all I’m trying to do is get rid of my hangover. For the love of all that’s holy…
