Baked and Wired: Adventures in Georgetown
THIS POST WAS ORIGINALLY PUBLISHED in 2014 AND WAS UPDATED IN JULY 2020. It’s been named one of the top ten bakeries in the United States by Fodor’s Travel, and it’s easily one of the most talked about coffee shop locations in the area. Do not miss Baked & Wired, just next to Georgetown’s historic C&O canal. Baked & Wired came backed with a lot of hype and praise; people have been telling us to go there for years. Somehow, we never got around to it. There’s something about…

Peet’s Coffee & Tea: Grand Opening on 17th Street
This morning marks the grand opening of Peet’s Coffee & Tea on 17th Street, downtown Washington, DC. I’ve been excited about this addition to the city ever since I saw its sign go up on the corner.
