Creative Grounds Dc - Washington DC

Nice place to read for a bit! Chai and pastries were tasty

This is a true neighborhood coffee shop. The staff is kind and welcoming. The rotating art on the walls is done by local artists, and often students and children. There’s indoor and outdoor seating you’re actually welcome to hang out in and work from home, with a long table conducive to community organizing.

We were here for a 6th birthday party and were very impressed — great decorations and art activities downstairs in an air conditioned area for the kids, and a nice space for parents to hang up upstairs. Asmara and her son were superb party hosts in running the art activities, with a thoughtful theme and attention to every child by name, and the kids left with great goodie bags of their own work as a result!

We just hosted a child's party in the downstairs party room, and I seriously can't say enough good things! All of the parents in attendance were truly delighted to be able to hang out upstairs and sip coffee while the kids made their masterpieces (and Asmara and her staff are so joyful about the art making! . They truly took care of everything we just showed up with cake and ourselves. HIGHLY recommend!

Do yourself a favor and go here! the coffee is amazing and Asmara is more amazing. my boyfriend and i visited from rhode island and came here each morning on our trip for iced coffees. the vibes are simply immaculate! drink local!
