Thanks to Madison for sending from the Safeway at 5th and K Street, NW.

Well this is welcome news, particular since the Starbucks at the corner has also closed. Dolcezza first opened here back in 2010. In September 2020 Dolcezza confirmed they’d be closing a number of cafes including Dupont. (more…)
