2. Politics & Prose…

4. Dolcezza Argentine…

Neighborhood: Georgetown

is expensive, but if you are tired of ben & jerry's up the street or value a good flavor experience, it is well worth it....

5. SOVA Espresso & Wine

for a medium.  Upon tasting it, I noted that it was spicier and not as sweet as the Sidamo chai latte (whether that's better depends on one's taste), but not nearly as good a value.  Where Sova really...
