"The Bloomingdale neighborhood will have another coffee competitor to stalwart Big Bear Cafe and the Sylvan bakery when Creative Grounds DC opens Saturday, November 23, in a 62-seat space at 1822 North Capitol Street NW. The menu promises “ethically sourced coffee and food goods from local vendors.” Look for espresso drinks and teas; kale salads and vegan BLTs; and all-day pastries like croissants, cookies, cakes slices, and bagels. The stark, two-story space from husband-and-wife duo Kenn Blagburn and Asmara Sium covers 2,000 square feet and will double as an incubator for creative types by hosting exhibits and artist talks." - Tierney Plumb
