DC's 8 Best Coffee Houses

Pound the Hill Area: Capitol Hill Location: 621 Pennsylvania Ave SE “Pound is proud to be the only coffee shop on the east coast to serve Kickapoo Coffee, the 2010 Micro Roaster of the Year (i.e. it doesn’t get any better than this),” the coffee shop says on its website. Pound the Hill’s coffee has “really great flavor, good brunch on weekends, and a cool layout” said social Mikaela Joseph. iPad checkouts, and perhaps the area’s best almond croissant, make this Capitol Hill spot a must visit.
