restaurant

monument
Ellipse Rd NW and E St NW
A quiet fountain on the Ellipse where De Lue's 1964 bronze celebrates the ideals of scouting—a place to sit and think about what institutions are supposed to mean, maintained by the park service among the monumental weight of the city around you.
coffee shop
50 Massachusetts Ave NE
People who actually care about how their coffee tastes come here to watch the precision of it all—the pour-overs, the timing, the beans treated like they matter. Head in if you want to taste the difference good sourcing makes.
cafe

People who want to sit with their coffee and actually settle in for an hour find what they're looking for here, tucked into the downtown corridor where most places rush you along.
coffee shop
