Coffee at Mid City Caffe
Such sad news to share on a Friday morning. Mid City Caffe, which opened on my birthday in 2009, is closing on October 1st. Unfortunately, their lease is up for renewal and they decided not to continue. While their location was a bit out of the way, Mid City definitely had some loyal fans – me among them. Make sure to stop by for one last cup before they close next Saturday. They won’t be opening Mid City Caffe in another location. This is it.
And, this seems like a good time to mention that Mid City Caffe’s downstairs neighbor, Miss Pixies, might be in the same boat. Both of these stores make the U street/Logan Circle neighborhoods a better place to live, so I hope that we can continue to get these kinds of local independent businesses to move to the ‘hood.

I read that the landlord was trying to quadruple rent. What a dick.

This is very sad news. In my opinion Mid City Caffe had the best coffee in the Logan/U Street area.

WTF?! REALLY?! Goodbye to the one of the, if not the, best latte in DC. So where are local 14&U people to head out for some good coffee? Peregrine is too small. Cork serves Stumptown but there’s no place to sit. All other location offer “par at best” espresso. This blows.

OMG! I just finished reading it… Miss Pixies may be in the same boat?! H Street continues to expand while 14&U stuggles to grow. Agggghhhhh!

I am sorry to hear this. Mid-city had very good coffee – it was the first of its kind here in the hood. But the service, let’s face it, was too hipster for its own good. One could go in there and wait forever just to have someone acknowledge your presence. It could have been a great place -they did many things right – if not for the European service.
