Yea yea, its been a few months since our last post, but hey were busy people, so these things happen. That said, two months off means we've got two months worth of great DC eats queued up and ready to be served. So if your stomach has been growling for something new, something exciting, or something thats just plain tasty, than check back over the next few weeks and let eat the district help soothe the savage beast.
For starters, I'd like to present another entry in to our "Fresh Grounds" series: Chinatown Coffee Co.. Located in Chinatown on H St. NW between 4th and 5th, Chinatown Coffe is the third and latest offering from the people who originally brought you Murky Coffee. Serving top quality beans delivered all the way to the district from Chicago-based roaster, Intelligentsia, the joe is more than adequate. I had a cup of "Ethiopia Yirgacheffe" which supposedly had notes of chocolate, apples, and strawberries. Now I'm not so sure about all that, but it certainly was tasty. The baked goods, provided by the likes of Whatsa Bagel,Hawthorne Pastry, and Bakeshop(who just opened a new store out in Clarendon fyi) were fresh and complimented the coffee nicely.
The building itself has a very cool, contemporary vibe (that is not even remotely communicated by their potbellyesqe logo), with plenty of space to people watch while you enjoy a cuppa.
These days, coffee is an integral part of many of our mornings, and while there there may be a Starbucks conveniently located on every corner, independent jobs like Chinatown Coffee exist for a reason: they're great. So if you find yourself around chinatown and desperate for your daily dose of caffeine, than Chinatown Coffee Co. is well worth a visit.
