Pentagon Row’s New Coffee Shop Will Put the Roasting Process on Full Display | Eater DC

"I'm intrigued by a new full-service roasting house and all-day cafe en route to Pentagon Row this summer: Origin Coffee Lab & Kitchen (1101 S Joyce Street), which will sit between Basic Burger and Lebanese Taverna. The 2,000-square-foot venture features a glass-enclosed roastery that will brew beans sourced straight from farms from 10 different regions and use five to six brewing methods to entice coffee snobs, pairing pour-overs with fresh day-to-night fare. Owner Andy Mekonnen says the concept is to offer a freshly roasted, excellent cup of coffee and amazing food all in one place; the inaugural location will also host cupping events, courses, and educational deep dives. Breakfast will include pancakes and various takes on eggs Benedict and avocado toast, while noon-to-night offerings include a grilled Atlantic salmon and quinoa salad and tempura-battered prawns with Sriracha aioli." - Tierney Plumb
