Virginia’s RĀKO Coffee Roasters Expands to D.C. With a New Cafe In Studio Theatre | Eater DC

"I learned that the women-owned Virginia roaster RĀKO will helm Studio Theatre’s new café and plans to open the café in December 2021; it will serve single-origin pour-overs and espresso drinks alongside natural wines, beer, and cocktails, with food provided by local women-, BIPOC-owned, and zero-waste producers. RĀKO operates a 5,000-square-foot facility in Lorton that prides itself on environmentally friendly, energy-efficient roasting practices, sources coffee directly from farmer-suppliers to support small growers and their communities, uses fully compostable cups, and recycles returned coffee bags into park benches." - Adele Chapin
