dua dc coffee
I’m in Washington for a couple of days in the office at my new job with the US Office of Personnel Management. We were given early release today. I walked through the mall and checked out the White House with other tourists. Clouds rolled in and it started to rain. I was generally heading toward dua dc for a coffee, but the big rain drops made me pick up my steps.
This shop had a drink that I’d never heard of before: a piccolo. As it turns out a piccolo is a half-sized cortado, or a big macchiato. They served the drink in a small paper cup, which was kind of a bummer, but it was good. I prefer the slightly more milk I get in a cortado, but this was good. It was strong. The coffee was thick, smooth, and lingering.
The shop is sleek, long and narrow. It’s both colorful and simple with lots or white and wood, but there’s also a cool mural at the entry.
