Cuban cafe with tropical vibes, empanadas, churros & cocktails
"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
