The wait for the new Surfside is finally over. And as you’ll see was well worth it. Oh my goodness. I went in for an early taste last week and have been smiling ever since. The space (see below) and the food/drinks turned out even better than I remembered at the old location. Some new items too. Anyway, I’ve been getting tons of inquiries about when they officially open to the public and I’m happy to say that time is now. Enjoy!

“people seem to be avoiding his store since the local coronavirus news intensified.”

By Prince Of Petworth

21st and P Street, NW

“Dear PoPville,

I was in the new Valley Brook Tea in Dupont this morning and the man behind the register told me that I was the first customer of the day (it was already 10:30) and that people seem to be avoiding his store since the local coronavirus news intensified. He said someone even walked in, saw his face, turned around, and walked out. He got a little emotional telling me about it which made me both angry and sad. It seems ridiculous and xenophobic on top of the fact that everyone in there is so nice and the tea is authentic and delicious! Also a great space/workspace that’s a huge improvement on the former Starbucks.“
