"Takoma Park’s adorable cafe and wine shop is filled with artisan cheese and charcuterie, condiments like fig spread, and every flavor of chip imaginable to pair with a bottle of wine. You can also order from a surprisingly vast menu of fresh salads, burgers, and famous sandwiches. The one-stop shop counts the “Crispwich” hoagie as one of its most popular orders since day one, with house kettle chips offering a surprise crunch in every bite of the smoked turkey, smashed avocado, and bacon sandwich. Carry your sandwiches and snacks to nearby community parks or along the Sligo Creek Trail." - Emily Venezky
"The Girl and the Vine took over the old Capital City Cheesecake space, transforming it to a retail wine venue that features more than 100 organic wines and small production craft beers. They have menus for breakfast and brunch but serve sandwiches, salads, and snacks until as late as 10 p.m. Like many other venues in Takoma Park that strive to bring the community together, The Girl and the Vine hosts ongoing wine and beer tastings." - Claudia Rosenbaum

"Takoma Park’s new deli and wine shop just replaced its Irish coffee with an icy International Coffee ($11) cocktail, featuring cognac, house made creme de cacao, Braulio amaro, and a splash of milk and soda. “Think the old school International House of Coffee flavored coffee with booze,” co-owner Jocelyne DeHaas tells Eater." - Tierney Plumb
"The owners of the Girl & The Vine, the new cafe, wine store, and deli in Takoma Park, were betting the family-friendly neighborhood would demand huge hunks of cheese. They were right." - Tierney Plumb
