711-713 Kennedy Street, NW
Ed. Note: 713 Kennedy is located right next to the future ANXO Cidery, who also just applied for a liquor license at 711 Kennedy (closest to alley) “Bar serving cider with a seating capacity of 49. Total Occupancy Load of 49. Requesting a wine pub endorsement.”
From a press release:
“District-area coffee drinkers have a new source for high-quality coffee as Lost Sock Roasters, a small-batch artisanal coffee roaster, opened its roasting facility this week at 713 Kennedy St. NW.
Founded in 2015, Lost Sock Roasters is dedicated to developing outstanding coffee sustainably. Lost Sock carefully roasts to accentuate the unique and delicious flavors in each of its coffees. This passion is derived from a love for great coffee, and a sense of responsibility for carrying out the defining step of a coffee bean’s journey from farm to mug. (more…)

We will continue to operate out of our kitchen at 1407 T Street NW, and we have arranged for another local business to take over the storefront. (We’re not yet able to announce who’ll be moving in, but – for now – suffice it to say that we’re thrilled to be working with them, and we think they’ll be a great addition to the neighborhood!)

“line is out the door at Philz Coffee in Navy Yard.”

14th and U Street, NW
Almost exactly a year ago we learned about the termination of their franchise agreement. While they never closed, and we wondered where the hell the donuts and coffee came from, looks like it all worked itself out with signage posted “under new management”.
Whew/damn it, depending on your perspective…

Thanks to Callan for sending: “Welp. Saxby’s coffee closed on Vermont Ave downtown”
