"Qualia feels more like your neighbor's comfy living room than an upscale coffee shop in Petworth—and that's totally fine with us. Their unabashed "no WiFi on weekends" policy makes them a destination for java-loving capital residents who don't feel like sitting amid a sea of laptops, fostering a strong contingent of regulars. And it's not just the lack of pecking and glazed-over eyes that keeps them coming: Beans are roasted on-site, and there's typically at least five different single-origin options each day. Oh, and there are free tastings held every Sunday. You're welcome." - Laura Ratliff
