I'm thankful Lost Sock Roasters opened a second location in NoMa, which is closer to me than their Takoma location. It's only an 8 minute walk from the NoMa-Gallaudet metro station and tucked in a more residential area. The interior is spacious, but only there is only counter seating (8 stool seats facing the window) at this location. I camped around for 5-10 minutes and was able to get a seat afterwards, but the seating isn't the most comfortable.
When I stopped by earlier yesterday afternoon, they weren't making pour overs (darn!), so I got a 12 oz. iced americano with single origin espresso for $4, which was pretty refreshing but nothing to write home about. The espresso notes leaned fruity but not overly so. I think from all my Lost Sock experiences, their lattes (and specialty) and small bites are the noteworthy items to order.
Lost Sock also closes pretty early at 4 PM, and they're closed on Mondays. Overall, it's a good spot for grab-and-go, but not a sit down. They sell beans, tea leaves, and coffee-making equipment at this location as well.
