The Best Coffee Places In D.C.

If you're in D.C. and you're looking for a nice cafe or coffee place to hang out in, you've come to the right place. Whether you're just looking for a quiet place for some alone time, or you're thinking of low-key places for a first date, this is a list of great coffee places and cafes to check out.

1. Tryst in Adam's Morgan

Tryst is probably one of my favorite places in D.C. for great food and a great atmosphere. Whether you're trying to get work done or you're inviting someone out on a date, Tryst has a nice, causal atmosphere to de-stress. Not to mention they have an amazing menu.

2. Dolcezza on 14th and P

If you're looking for quality coffee and good gelato, check out Dolcezza. There are a few located around D.C., but my favorite location is the one of 14th and P. Mostly just because it's a great place to dog-watch.

3. Kramerbooks in DuPont

Kramer's doubles as a bookstore/cafe with also a great selection for lunch and dinner. You can grab a book and some coffee and hang out, or sit in for dinner. Be aware that reservations can sometimes be hard to get, so book early!

4. Bourbon Coffee in Foggy Bottom

Bourbon gets all their coffee from Rwanda, and let me tell you, it is absolutely delicious! My recommendation would be the Aztec Chai. It's a delicious chai latte with hints of cinnamon.

5. Baked and Wired in Georgetown

Primarily known for their cupcakes, Baked and Wired has amazing coffee as well. Don't forget to grab some and enjoy it with your coffee. I recommend the Dirty Chai. It's a chai latte with espresso, and it goes super well with their Dirty Chai cupcake.

6. Juan Valdez in Foggy Bottom

This coffee shop was conveniently right next to my dorm freshman year. Juan Valdez has amazing coffee from Colombia that does not need anything extra added. I get a vanilla latte with skim milk and have never needed to add anything to it.

7. Swings Coffee Roasters in Foggy Bottom

Right next to the White House, M.E. Swing has to be one of the best coffee places around. It has been around since 1916 serving up coffee to politicians for decades. They also never skimp out on the latte art.

Whether you're living in D.C. or just visiting, I highly recommend checking out at least one of the many awesome coffee places in the city.

AI music threatens creativity

The Soul of Sound: How AI Challenges Human Expression in Music

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

We are all more than just one sign.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
