Thanks to Hannah for sending the Gong Cha update.

Gong Cha’s website says:

“The house special product is “Gong Cha Milk Foam Series”. The special-made milk foam took a long time to develop before Gong Cha founded. The main idea was from the milk foam on Coffee Latte, and to improve the taste with salty flavor. The Milk Foam tea contains a lower layer of brewed tea covered by an upper layer of special creamer. Creamy taste with fantastic mixture surprises customers and gives supreme experience.. This series is the best seller in Gong Cha stores.”

Update from Honeygrow:

“Yes, that location will close after Friday 11/16.”

Oh No, Et Tu Honeygrow? A reader reports:

“I am a frequent diner at Honeygrow in Chinatown. I went in for lunch over the weekend and the manager told me that they are closing on November 16th. Not sure for the reasoning, but I’m guessing this location was just not profitable enough. This is devastating given that we lost Shophouse not that long ago.”

Honeygrow opened up with great fanfare back in December 2016.


Whoa, spotted this sign at Stanton & Greene over the weekend. A couple of weeks ago Washington Business Journal reported:

“Stanton & Greene, the Capitol Hill cocktail bar that replaced the Pour House in 2015, has filed for Chapter 7 bankruptcy liquidation.”

Their phone number has been disconnected and their Facebook stops updating after October 25th, though their website remains live. Stay tuned.
