Last week we learned that Open City at the National Cathedral would open this week – well today is the day:

3101 Wisconsin Ave, NW
Last month we learned that Open City Coffeehouse (owners of Tryst etc.) was coming to the National Cathedral in December. Looks like they are on track to open mid-late next week and I took a quick peek to see the progress. First I had to orient myself – it is literally in the shadow of the Cathedral (if your back is to Wisconsin Ave – in the small little cottage to the right):
But it’s not that small – there will be seating for 40-45 inside and when the weather turns nice, seating for 40-45 more outside.
The inside has a huge open ceiling:
And some sweet stained glass:
In addition to all the traditional coffee options (espresso, etc.) there will be sandwiches, salads, waffles, eggs, milkshakes and more.
And free wifi of course. They will be open 7 days a week from 7am – 6pm.

Looks like that blue tape was legit. Dunkin Donuts/Baskin Robbins coming soon signs now posted at Georgia and Quincy St, NW in the Park Place retail space just north of the Petworth metro exit”
Wells Fargo too – a bitter further south toward New Hampshire Ave:
M Street, NW just west of 19th Street
Sweet Diablo opened at 19th and M St, NW back in Aug. 2012. They boasted the “Best Chocolate Cake in the World”. We judged them here.

A tipster who has provided some very accurate tips in the past says that word is Dunkin Donuts and a Walgreens are coming to the Union Station Food Court. Stay tuned.

Thanks to a reader for sending:
“Dunkin Donuts is coming to NoMa on N Street NE, across the street from the ATF Headquarters (outside the north entrance to the NoMa/Gallaudet Metro entrance).”
