"Virginia-born RĀKO Coffee signed a lease this week at HQ2, the Amazon headquarters taking root in Arlington with 140,000-square feet of open-to-the-public retail space. The new RĀKO will include espresso beverages; a natural wines program from women winemakers, owners, and growers; craft cocktails, and light bites." - Stephanie Carter
"Virginia’s women-owned RĀKO Coffee Roasters will open their first brick-and-mortar location on Saturday, August 28, in Clarendon. The day-to-night cafe will serve hand-roasted, single-origin specialty coffees, fun coffee drinks like lavender lattes, ginger rosemary lattes, and a 'Coco Spritz.' The decor includes floral wallpaper and plush velvet booths. They plan to serve natural wines, cocktails like espresso martinis and coffee Negronis, and seasonal dishes. Another RĀKO outpost is in the works for 14th Street, with a cafe at Logan Circle’s soon-to-be-renovated Studio Theatre. During the Clarendon opening weekend, RĀKO will offer $1 coffees and specially priced natural wines." - Adele Chapin
"I learned that the women-owned Virginia roaster RĀKO will helm Studio Theatre’s new café and plans to open the café in December 2021; it will serve single-origin pour-overs and espresso drinks alongside natural wines, beer, and cocktails, with food provided by local women-, BIPOC-owned, and zero-waste producers. RĀKO operates a 5,000-square-foot facility in Lorton that prides itself on environmentally friendly, energy-efficient roasting practices, sources coffee directly from farmer-suppliers to support small growers and their communities, uses fully compostable cups, and recycles returned coffee bags into park benches." - Adele Chapin
"You can find brews this Northern Virginia roasting company in D.C. at its pop-up inside Oyster Oyster, in Shaw, or served by the drip at ChiKo’s I Egg You. Its website lets customers shop for beans or buy a subscription as part of a “roaster’s choice” membership. Coffee beans are roasted to order and ship within 48 hours of the roast date." - Tim Ebner
"I can buy a $50 Father’s Day coffee cocktail kit that includes one bag of RAKO’s Harimau Tiger coffee, one bottle of Amaro delle Sirene, a tasting bottle & bag, and three recipes to get started at home." - Adele Chapin
