Community Room

A lovely non-profit bookstore, cafe, and community meeting space. They have a great selection of interesting books, and host important events by activists and other interesting people. Their bathrooms are clean and their chocolate croissants are delicious.

Came here on a recent Saturday morning for a breakfast with two friends, and we fell in love! The food is low-priced, but packed full of flavor and very filling (and I love to eat a big breakfast, so this was a lovely surprise). I'm always down for a local bookstore, and the selection here is limited but very appealing. Quiet, not overly busy, and they make a great coffee! Super close to many bus lines that run downtown and all around, so pretty easy to get to.

Love the atmosphere, everything is family oriented, excellent place to eat, relax, and read. Books are available for both reading, browsing, and even for purchase.

I would highly recommend this location to both family and friends.

The best Cafe in Adam's Morgan. Great staff, great food, even better books. Interior has gorgeous brick work, and the have a "no screens" section of seating to that people with laptops don't dominate the space.

One of the best indie bookstores in DC, with good food and space to work (including a few "screen free zones" to meet other people). Somewhat expensive, and the vibe is decidedly less grunge than what I'm used to in Seattle. Still amazing, check out their sale on Verso and left theory books to the left of the counter.
