4200 Wisconsin Ave, NW

Well this is a bummer. Bourbon Coffee opened here in 2016. Closure seems rather abrupt. Last week we confirmed that a Tatte Bakery would be coming down the block which takes the sting out a little bit. Updates when we learn what becomes of the Bourbon space. Read More

Ed. Note: Last week we learned that a Tatte Bakery and Cafe was planned for the City Ridge development too.
