It's a local DC Coffee chain. They actually have a few locations around the city so whenever you're out and about, google it and see if you can find one. Their coffee is pretty great!

This place is a bar and restaurant that turns into a mini nightclub, with live DJs on the weekends, a beautiful downstairs restaurant space and an unbelievable outdoor patio that can be covered with a convertible roof when the weather turns. And it's located at the intersection of 14th and U Streets NW, so it's in the heart of the main bar district in DC!
