"This Levantine all-day cafe is from the team behind Albi, and it’s an incredibly charming place to spend an afternoon—pops of saffron yellow splash across the wall and line the windows looking out on the bustling crowds on Wisconsin Ave. The pastries, like their orange blossom croissant or date and labne coffee cake, can make any day better. Pair either with the coconut cardamom iced coffee for the ultimate snack." - joe brantlinger, tristiana hinton, omnia saed
