Tryst

Coffee shop · Adams Morgan

"With its extensive all-day brunch menu, lunch plates, and selection of espresso drinks, the laid-back Adams Morgan cafe is fit for any solo diner. Take a seat on one of its couches and get some reading in with a featured latte, warm up while with a bowl of tomato and basil bisque, or start the day off with a chorizo breakfast burrito stuffed with a cheese frittata." - Tierney Plumb, Vinciane Ngomsi, Kalina Newman
