La Mano Coffee Bar: Where You Fix Your Karma
UPDATE (2018): Please note that La Mano is permanently closed. La Mano Coffee Bar, in Takoma, is a tiny and unique coffee shop, spotted easily by its lit-up hand in the window.

Luckily, there was a close second for coffee shop choices in the area: Chinatown Coffee Co. After a short walk from the Chinatown metro, I arrived to the entrance. After walking right into the open doorway, I noticed the interior: garage-like. Chinatown Coffee Co. has a brick wall interior, and a slick…floor that almost feels…
