Respectfully, that doesn't answer the question

No where 😬

I recommend going to the nearest metro station and parking there if you absolutely have to drive, use the metro to get downtown and voila! You avoid the traffic hellscape cherry blossom season brings. Enjoy!

I thought it was shut temporarily? Is it closed down for good?? Sadness

what kind of coffee do u get for $10??

What about bullfrog?

what’s so good about them? sounds like some basic ass brekkie burritos you’d find in El Paso

Meats and Foods off Florida NW. Everything there is pretty delicious, but the breakfast burrito in particular is fire

Are there still two Tony's across the street from each other?

I think in Europe a “cafe” means it serves more than coffee and tea, ie, alcohol, light food, etc. Thats my perception at least. Straight coffee shops in the US are different.

Would love to hear your favorites in VA too!

For coworking I like Tatte, Three Whistles, or most of the Compass locations.

Those people are the worst. My company gives us a coworking expense account, so I make it a point to be ordering food/coffee at least once an hour when working out of a local shop.

Mr Henerys on Penn Ave has a boozy board game night with labyrinth game store (or they did before COVID I’m not sure if it’s back) the game store would bring tons of games and show you how to play ones you’re interested in. Good vibes, tasty burgers. Not exactly a gay event but absolutely queer friendly and very welcoming.

Second this. Their food sucks but they have fun drag shows, story time for kids, tasty drinks and a good vibe.

Barely in the city, but Lost Sock in Takoma is the best. Seating and fresh tomato pie focaccia on Sundays!

Ohh thats good. Imagine tho getting your receipt like 1 minute before password rotation 😆

Yet ANOTHER reason to ride a motorcycle in this town.... I rode down there today. And traffic was at a standstill from the Ohio St. Bridge, ALL THE WAY around (they reversed the flow of traffic on Ohio Drive, so you go straight past the gate, then loop in the opposite direction of normal traffic flow) to Maine Ave SW.... Like, stopped. I split lanes the whole way and it STILL took me 30 minutes to make that ride....

No WAY I would go there in a car. Period. Total shitshow....

It WAS gorgeous, though... not gonna lie....

> But in Europe, a lot of coffee shops want you to sit and enjoy your espresso, and then leave

Off topic, but I'm not sure that's true. IME this varies a lot by country. Italy, sure. Greece, people commonly hang out for hours.

Exactly my answer

The grid will adapt. I always like to remind people that we went from no one having A/C to basically everywhere having A/C running all hours of the day in just a couple decades. The power companies enjoy their legal monopolies, so they'll spend just enough to provide what's needed.

As far as transitioning to renewables for power generation. I have my doubts about that ever happening in my lifetime. American politics are too fucked up to make any meaningful progress.

I go on week days all the time and never have problems.

I don’t lounge at coffee shops, I was just picking apart your point. It’s somewhere in the middle. Yes, don’t stay all day and make a coffee place your WFH situation, not unless you’re being a good patron and spending a lot. But cafes wouldn’t exist as a business model unless the option to stay there wasn’t on the (coffee) table.

Agree with all of these points. One other consideration is that we don’t have the grid capacity and currently along the East coast a lot of our electricity is powered coal lol

Judging by some of these comments, you are inconveniencing them just by being there and taking up breathing space for more than the time it takes to complete a transaction.

Rent is a major cost center for coffee shops, and urban rents are especially high. It probably just doesn't pencil out, cost-wise, to price an hour's stay into every cup, given what square footage costs here. There are great coffee shops in the suburbs that can afford to be much more generous with space (maybe give Vigilante in Hyattsville a go, or Northside Social in Clarendon).
