Community Room

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.

A pleasant spot for a cup of joe. Got a good funky vibe, but still a very DC experience!

Great place for a peaceful time. There are a lot of books and other things you can read or buy from. Cool atmosphere to hangout with friends or for some Me time. Good coffee and brunch place too. Many things to choose from. Totally recommend it. Good ambience. All are welcome. A little busy with people but spacious enough. May be not for a loud group 😊.

If you are like me and you enjoy having breakfast and reading at the same time this is the place to visit. They have delicious food, and puff the coffee selection is the best. Try the vanilla latte.

Great neighborhood gathering for coffee, dessert and great conversation. Peaceful and friendly. Book signings and spoken word events. Outdoor dining available.
