"The beloved family-owned coffee house in D.C.’s Manor Hill closed this year, with a new location in the works in neighboring Brightwood. For now, you can still try the coffee beans founder Juan Luis Salazar Cano sources from a collective he organized in his hometown of Union Cantinil, in Guatemala’s Huehuetenango region. An additional outpost landed in Arlington a little over a year ago and La Coop has still been popping up at D.C. bakeries and breweries. The coffee shop also sells Colombian-style empanadas, burritos, bagelitos, and New York-style pizza." - Tierney Plumb, Emily Venezky
