    This became my favorite coffee shop after one visit last fall! I am a cold brew gal, and I did indeed dream of their dreamy cold brew after the first time I had it. I recently got the $6 breakfast sandwich and coffee combo ($7 for me because I upgraded to the dreamy cold brew), and it was such a good deal. The people are friendly, and it's not too bad a walk from the Capitol Visitors Center garage if you can't find street parking (or don't wanna pay). Would be super cool if they had a birthday reward for people signed up, just saying!! 👀

    Going back to the same place twice in a row on a trip feels a little like cheating… unless it’s this good. We ended up at Sweetwaters Coffee & Tea two days straight, and I didn’t even pretend to branch out. I ordered the exact same thing both times: the spinach feta pretzel melt. No regrets, no curiosity, just commitment. The pretzel melt hits that perfect balance, warm, salty, cheesy, and just enough spinach to convince yourself you made a responsible decision. It’s the kind of thing you think about later and immediately want again. And the coffee? Smooth, rich, and full of flavor to the point where I drank it black… which is saying something, because I’m usually had a touch of milk with my coffee kinda person. This didn’t need help.
