Colada Shop

Cafe · U Street

"It's easy to spot Colada Shop, just off the U Street Corridor. Besides its bright turquoise paint job, a vibrant portrait from Dominican Republic-based artist Kilia Llano looks down on 14th Street from the rooftop bar. Umbrellas cool down the roof garden, while cheerily colored chairs, flower boxes, and hanging terracotta pots enliven the space. People here really dig—and dig Instagramming—the tropical cocktails, which are served in SunnyD-like pouches. This Cuban restaurant and coffee shop serves pitchers of sparkling pineapple sangria and mojitos, along with rum mule, those daiquiri pouches, and cafe con leche popsicles with aged rum. Take advantage of happy hour every weekday from 3 p.m. to 6 p.m., which offers $9 cocktails, $3 empanadas, and $8 slushees." - Adele Chapin
