Hands down the best coffee in DC. This is the place to get your caffeine fix. However, it's a small space so not the best spot to lounge with your computer for an afternoon.

With 55 different beers on tap and about 500 different bottles in the fridges, ChurchKey is a beer lover's heaven. The only drawback is that it's so popular, they never need to run happy hours.
