Coffee is all about convenience. Whether this means stopping at Gelbucks on the way to class, or brewing a single Keurig cup, the romance of being at a cute coffee shop is often lost in the D.C. shuffle.
But six indie coffee shops are banding together to lure more coffee-sipping regulars – both to their own stores and their competitors’. They are encouraging patrons to explore each other’s coffee shops with a disloyalty card.
According to DCist, the card “can be punched once at each location and then redeemed for one free drink at any of the six.”
Participating shops are:
Peregrine Espresso (660 Pennsylvania Ave SE; 1718 14th Street NW; 1309 5th Street NE)
Filter (1916 I Street NW; 1726 20th Street NW)
The Coffee Bar (1201 S Street NW)
Chinatown Coffee Company (476 H Street NW)
La Mano (304 Carroll Street NW)
Blind Dog Cafe(944 Florida Avenue NW)
