Cuban cafe serving coffee, cocktails, sandwiches, and pastries
"Colada Shop’s Arlington and 14th Street locations are bringing tropical Havana vibes to the chilly D.C. area this holiday season. Festive decor is joined by equally fun cocktails, including a Coquito Shooter with a creamy blend of rum, both evaporated an condensed milk, coconut, and warming spices; a Churro Manhattan made with bourbon, sweet vermouth, spiced syrup, and served with a churro palmerita cookie; the Mo-Ho-Ho-Ho-ito that adds pomegranate seeds and sparkling wine to the classic drink; and much more. — EV" - Vinciane Ngomsi
"The Cuban cafe just rebooted its daily Hora Feliz deal across all of its locations in D.C., Maryland, and Virginia. From 4 p.m. to 8 p.m., enjoy discounts on rum-fueled cocktails, bites like empanadas, and more. A Havana-styled holiday pop-up just debuted at the Logan Circle original and new Clarendon locale." - Missy Frederick
"In its fifth area location at the heart of Dupont, this fast-growing Cuban cafe and bar serves an all-day menu of sofrito-based egg skillets, tostadas, empanadas, and pastelitos alongside new family-style dishes such as mojo-marinated chicken with arborio rice and slow-roasted pork ribs slathered in guava barbecue sauce with yucca fries, plus a rum-forward cocktail list featuring a piña colada, mojito, and a cascara-bitters–brightened Cuba Libre." - Tierney Plumb
"I note that the fast-growing Cuban cafe is opening a Dupont Circle outpost at 1900 N Street NW, offering reliable rum cocktails like a piña colada and mojito plus a Cascara Cuba Libre made with dark rum, Mexican Coke, and cascara bitters, along with seasonal slushies and to-go cocktail pouches; the opening is currently scheduled for November 10." - Tierney Plumb
"Landing in Dupont Circle this October, the boozy Cuban all-day cafe will occupy 1900 N Street NW and features a patio as big as its dining room (each seats 50). I note they’ll serve Colada Shop favorites like Cuban coffee and cold brew, cocktails such as mojitos and piña coladas, sandwiches and empanadas, plus rice and salad bowls; this will be the chain’s fifth location, joining spots at the Wharf, in Potomac, MD, and Fairfax’s Mosaic District." - Stephanie Carter
