This Germantown Ave. coffee shop and bookstore has an extensive espresso and coffee bar menu with things like cold brews, teas, lattes, and fresh-squeezed juices. With a sit-down space that has some couches that are great for a group meeting, and some single seats at the counter when you’re solo, you can kick back with a scone, yogurt, soup, or a slice of sweet potato pie until they close at 7pm. This a place where we’d hang out even if we weren’t working just so we could lay out on the ottomans and crack open our favorite Toni Morrison while The Roots play in the background.
