Premier Coffee

Release Date: Monday, September 14th 2009

In our May Downtown Update e-newsletter, we wrote incorrectly that Wrecking Ball Coffee was coming to 475 H Street. It’s actually Chinatown Coffee Co.

Coffee connoisseurs are cozying up to this newest Downtown addition. Owners Max and Katharine Brown are the husband and wife team behind Wrecking Ball 475 LLC and the manager is coffee guru Nicolas Cho of Murky Coffee fame.

Chinatown Coffee offers Intelligentsia Coffee, pastries, cupcakes and Wi-Fi. Some of the baristas from Murky Coffee, formerly located in Arlington, Virginia, and on Capitol Hill, are now whipping up quality, flavorsome brews at Chinatown Coffee, which features Guatemala Finca La Soledad, Honduras La Tortuga and Nicaragua Los Delirios coffee, to name a few.

The store is open seven days a week, from 7:00 am to 7:00 pm, Monday through Saturday and from 8:00 am to 7:00 pm on Sunday. Coming soon: cuppings, or coffee tastings, as well as musicians and a possible book reading.
