The Sureia Life

Cafe Sureia

Having coffee with someone has come to mean a lot more than simply sipping beverages in the same space. It can be an interview. A casual date. A catch-up session with a long-lost friend.

So next time you want to meet somewhere special, check out Cafe Sureia. Off the beaten path in Brookland, it’s a friendly spot where regulars are greeted by name.

Pull up a chair and enjoy an Illy cappuccino, Blue Mountain coffee, or a pot of Ethiopian tea. If it’s chilly, there’s always a classic Jacques Torres hot chocolate (our advice: order the “wicked” version, which is blended with ground ancho and chipotle chili peppers).

Feeling peckish? Try a salad, sandwich, or a piece of coconut cake from the spread of desserts — any of which can turn a brief stop for a cup of joe into a truly memorable experience.

Just as it should be.

Cafe Sureia, 3629 12th Street NE, between Otis and Newton Streets (202-269-9444 or cafesureia.com).
