Tryst Coffee House And Bar

What a cute restaurant/coffee shop/bar. This restaurant has a few of a coffee shop but yet there's a bar in it and you get full service restaurant service. We came in just for a quick stop to have a piece of apple pie with a cortado. Both the apple pie and cortado were delicious. We also got the vegan banana nut bread with chocolate chips inside of it. One of the best vegan banana nut bread I've ever had! I took another one to go. We also had the maple old fashioned as well as the jalapeno ginger beer drink. It was also delicious and super spicy! We would definitely come by here again if in in the area.

Tryst, the enchanting DC cafe, is my soulful sanctuary in the evening hours. Nestled in the heart of the city, it beckons with a rhythm all its own. The late-night vibes harmonize with a chill vibe, creating a space where time seems to slow down. With every sip and every note, Tryst becomes a poetic escape, an ode to the city's nocturnal souls.

The is place has always been a popular hotspot, and I've been coming here for years to either hangout or do work on my laptop. I noticed today that this place has definitely increased in popularity because there were absolutely zero tables available. I found myself a chair at one of the long tables, but it was right next to the ordering line which wasn't the most comfortable. My thought was to try to get some coding work done here, but without a table, it wasn't going to happen. The other reason why today this place was less conducive for work was the issue of the elevated music. I enjoy music just like everyone, but trying to concentrate and code wasn't going to happen here today. Everything else about this cafe is awesome!

THEY HAVE GLUTEN FREE WAFFLES & PASTRIES!!! I repeat, GLUTEN.FREE.WAFFLES that’s don’t taste like cardboard!! This is the perfect place to bring yourself if you wanna get some work or reading done, all day breakfast and a wonderful coffee/ cocktail menu . Service was a bit slow, but that’s the vibe of the place so it wasn’t a aspect to complain about :)

The vibes here = immaculate. Seriously -- open-air, slightly grungy, unpretentious food, coffee and drinks plus tons of seating. I loved everything but the service. It is a bit strange -- you can't order at the counter and I was (slightly condescendingly) made aware of that right away. Ok -- table service then. But the table service took forever. Our server was friendly but it was practically impossible to order. If our server was attentive I would have ordered way more and stayed longer. Alas, a really cool place that would be seriously elevated by great service.
