“it could provide a nice Ethiopian alternative to the French cafe two blocks down the road”

A reader reports:

“That coffee shop that has been coming soon for ages on 14th & Otis Pl opened on Monday. I grabbed a coffee this morning to check it out. The interior is quite elegant for a coffee shop — if they added some background music and there were more people, I wouldn’t mind having breakfast on a weekend. I found it similar to Le Caprice, so it could provide a nice Ethiopian alternative to the French cafe two blocks down the road. I saw some Ethiopian specialties on the menu (e.g., fit-fit), but the lady said they were not ready for those yet.”

Good coffee news for H Street on this dreary Sunday – The Wydown opened up yesterday at the new Apollo building. The owners tell me:

“the coffee and bakery is open now; but the bar component of the cafe will open next week.”

From Little Coco’s:

“Monday is a big day at Coco’s! We’re finally opening for coffee and homemade pastries – cream puffs, donuts, muffins, scones – starting at 8am. Our espresso is from La Colombe and drip coffee from Ceremony.

Lunch will start at 11:30 and include pizza, sandwiches (my favorite is the P.L.T. – Porchetta, Lettuce and Tomato on homemade Focaccia), and salads.

Then, starting at 4pm it’s Pizza night. Just $9 for any pie and $30 for a pizza and a pitcher! Every Monday.“
