DUA DC

the pour-over is the right call here. dua dc, sitting at 923 15th st nw, operates in a part of washington where office buildings and political foot traffic dominate the sidewalks, which makes finding a spot that actually focuses on the coffee feel like a small win. the regulars who keep coming back aren't doing it out of habit alone. you get the sense, from how consistently people return, that the bar is genuinely high and stays that way. specialty roasting is the whole point, not a side note on the menu. if you're in the area on a weekday morning, the pour-over is worth slowing down for.
