Tryst
2459 18th St NW, Washington, DC
Crema's Take
“Tryst is a sprawling, wonderfully chaotic neighborhood hub where you can nurse a creative specialty drink and inventive breakfast all day long, with plenty of room to spread out whether you're working, gaming, or catching up with friends. The kitchen takes real care with their food—fresh bagels and generous portions at fair prices—and the vibe strikes that rare balance of being both seriously laptop-friendly and genuinely social, even when it gets delightfully loud and packed.”
What to expect
Specialty coffee, with creative signature drinks. A slow-sit, laptop-friendly spot, good for meetings. Full breakfast, pastries, and light food on the menu. Open late. Wifi.

I've been to Tryst twice now and they were both great experiences. The atmosphere is good for working, playing board games, reading, and just yapping. The drink options are wide, and I enjoyed my London fog. If you get to-go, make sure to take the tea bag out at some point so…
Tryst serves pretty decent breakfast and brunch, it’s spacious with inside and outside tables, it can get very noisy and busy. It’s pricey but good enough. Recommend the bagels 🥯 very tasty and fresh. Coffee too. I liked the frappe! Has free wifi and the staff is friendly.
