Update from La Bonne Vache:

“When the unthinkable happens, you hope and pray that you’ll find a way through it and last night, while our Sunday team was closing, we experienced a pretty devastating electrical fire. Thanks to our team and the @dcfirefighters, it was contained and most importantly no one was hurt. This is obviously heartbreaking and something none of us ever imagined having to face. It’s every restaurant owner’s worst nightmare to get a call that your space is in danger. But more than anything, we are so unbelievably thankful that no one was hurt. Buildings can be repaired, things can be replaced, and we will rebuild and reopen.

We love what we’ve built and we absolutely love having the honor to serve all of you and while this is an incredibly difficult moment, we know that it’s just a chapter in our story, and not the end of it.

Thank you all, from the bottom of our hearts..Please check back in while we update everyone and ask for the community’s help.”

“Dear PoPville,

Looks like there was a fire at La Bonne Vache in Georgetown last night, hope everyone is okay!”

DC Fire and EMS first reported just before 10pm Sunday night: “Working Fire – 3200 Block of Prospect St NW (more…)

From an email:

“I’m reaching out with exciting news from DOLCEZZA. The Washington, D.C.-based gelato & coffee shop is coming back to where it all started and opening a new shop in Georgetown this winter.

The new location, DOLCEZZA’s 7th in the DC area, marks a homecoming for founders Robb Duncan and Violeta Edelman, who opened their first tiny DOLCEZZA kitchen and scoop shop in Georgetown in 2004–that’s also when they began selling gelato in DC’s farmers markets, alongside many of the mid-Atlantic farmers they call friends and partners today. They quickly outgrew their 300 sq ft Georgetown kitchen and in 2012 they moved operations to a 4,000 sq ft gelato factory space in the Union Market neighborhood.

In 2025, DOLCEZZA opened its 6th location on H Street, NE, (more…)
