If you follow me on instagram or know me in real life, then you know there are very few things that I enjoy more than a cup of coffee. There's just something so soothing in that first sip of coffee, I almost always feel instantly relaxed. Did you know that coffee is rich in antioxidants and can help prevent some diseases resulting in a longer life? I mean that's pretty cool...not that I needed a reason to drink a cup of joe.
And while I enjoy making coffee at home or going to my usual spots, I love trying out new cafe's especially when I am in a new part of town. I have compiled my top 5 tried and tested coffee favorites in DC, Maryland, and Virginia. And the best part is that all of these coffee shops serve delicious snacks and pastries as well!
