Tasty, Timely, and Terrific: TAZZA Cafe Before the Kennedy Center!
Review:
TAZZA Cafe has become my go-to spot before heading to an event at the Kennedy Center, and for good reason. The location is unbeatable, the food is consistently excellent, and the Mediterranean-inspired menu offers a little something for everyone. TAZZA never disappoints, from perfectly crisp wood-fired pizzas to fresh salads and irresistible small bites. The service is lightning fast—exactly what you need when time is tight before a show.
What truly elevates TAZZA Cafe is the staff. They’re not just efficient; they’re genuinely thoughtful. On my most recent visit, a rainy evening before a concert, the cafe was bustling, and seating was scarce. Spotting a reserved table not needed for another 20 minutes, I asked a waitress if I could quickly sit down and enjoy my meal. Without hesitation, she agreed, making my night so much smoother. Moments like this show how dedicated they are to customer satisfaction.
As a New Yorker, I was pleasantly surprised by the reasonable prices. My cappuccino, blueberry muffin, and Diet Coke were delicious and didn’t leave my wallet hurting—an all-too-rare combination. Whether after a quick snack, a satisfying meal, or a cozy place to relax, TAZZA Cafe has you covered.
Pro tip: It’s a popular spot, especially on Kennedy Center event days, so it can get busy. But with both indoor and outdoor seating (the heated lamps in cooler weather are a nice touch), there’s always a welcoming vibe. I highly recommend this gem!
