"When "working from home" translates to catching up with friends while casually monitoring Slack, Tryst is your spot. The popular cafe feels more like a scene from Lady Bird than a real-life coffee shop, thanks to their chipped wooden tables and mismatched ceramic mugs that feel both random and purposefully curated. After 10pm on Thursday through Saturday, the cafe transforms into a strictly grown-up affair. It’s the perfect pregame spot before hitting the club—or your couch." - omnia saed, mekita rivas
"The Deal: $4 beers, $5 shots The popular cafe is an Adams Morgan staple that sometimes feels more like a scene from Lady Bird than a real life coffee shop. But after 10pm, it’s a strictly grown-up affair where shots of whisky, vodka, and tequila (ah yes, the holy trinity) will only run you $5. It’s the perfect pregame spot before hitting the club—or your couch." - omnia saed

"With its extensive all-day brunch menu, lunch plates, and selection of espresso drinks, the laid-back Adams Morgan cafe is fit for any solo diner. Take a seat on one of its couches and get some reading in with a featured latte, warm up while with a bowl of tomato and basil bisque, or start the day off with a chorizo breakfast burrito stuffed with a cheese frittata." - Tierney Plumb
"Washingtonians know Tryst as a longtime hub for the artsy, the under-caffeinated, and the first-date unimaginative. A spiritual cousin to Gen X’s Social Safeway, Tryst’s mission for 23 years has been — in a nod to the popular cafe’s signature starter — to 'build meaningful connections, one animal cracker at a time.'" - John Besche
