I get an iced coffee every morning. The owner and employees are very friendly and welcoming. The food is good too, pastries and bagels for breakfast, sandwiches and packaged salads for lunch.

Went in there because of a Disaster Evacuation Drill occurred at the State Department building across the street. I waited and chilled having the best coffee from an independent outfit.

Best chai tea latte and cheese bagel with butter. Very nice personal service where they remember your name and order if you frequent the place.

This little hole in the wall is the place to go for a hungry person who wants fast delicious food. The vendor made my food which love and care. Gave my 2 year old a free water. Sometimes we need people to care for us.
