Any food place that’s labeled as a “community space” seems cool to me. Â Usually that means that in addition to food/drink, there are comfy couches, books, and maybe even events. Â Such is the case with The Potter’s House in DC. Â If you’re in the Adams Morgan area and looking to grab a leisurely cup of coffee, this is definitely the place.
The coffee is Coffee Culture, so it’s good. Â The food is delicious and includes lots of gluten free and vegan options. Â Don’t worry, there’s still real bacon there if you want it. Â Usually, I find, when a place caters to vegans, they also want to tell you the meat lifestyle is capital W wrong. Â Here, they let you just do you, whether that you is healthy or not. Â I ordered the banana bread granola over some of the thickest yogurt I’ve ever had. Â I drizzled some maple syrup over the top because I simply can’t allow myself to be TOO healthy.
As far as books and culture go, the literature is a curated collection with a focus on multicultural authors and social movements. Â When it comes to events, there’s yoga, author talks, breathing sessions, wisdom circles, grandparent networking opportunities, and concerts. Â I don’t know what half of those events could entail, but I think it’s cool they’re offered.
If you’re looking for a side of culture with your coffee (and really, who isn’t?), make sure to check out Potter’s House next time you’re in DC.
