For Five Coffee DC

Set along L Street NW near the national monuments, the cafe features plenty of seating and a food lineup that reaches well past standard counter snacks. The bar turns out drinks like freddo espresso and iced chai lattes, with a self-serve station on hand. Kitchen orders include breakfast sandwiches, avocado toast, and pita bread with Mediterranean bowls. Prices lean on the higher side, though the prompt service and ample room to sit make it a comfortable downtown pause.
