Crema's Take

“This three-level DC destination blends a hybrid café, restaurant, and speakeasy into one elegantly designed space where you can settle in for creative specialty drinks alongside Nigerian-inspired cuisine. The vibrant atmosphere and thoughtful service make it ideal for lingering over an espresso martini or exploring their imaginative beverage menu, though be prepared for prices that reflect the elevated experience. It's the kind of cozy, upscale spot where you'll want to claim a table for hours, whether you're working, meeting friends, or simply soaking in the stylish vinyl room ambiance.”

What to expect

Strong matcha and tea selection, with creative signature drinks. A slow-sit, laptop-friendly spot, good for meetings. Light food on the menu.

I have been in DC for work since Wednesday night (staying near the convention center) and this is my favorite spot so far! I was a solo diner and they still let me have a table (I am short and don't.love my legs dangling at the bar) and were INCREDIBLY attentive. I felt so…

Highly anticipated going to Sost for the first time. Sost encompasses stunning/elevated decor consistently throughout its 3 levels--the vinyl room (speakeasy bar), hybrid cafe and resto-lounge. I met up with a friend for dinner. We enjoyed the Sambusas together which were spiced…
