Rose Ave Bakery

Rose Ave Bakery is the cafe where you’ll realize you’ve been spending your coffee budget wrong. The Woodley Park spot’s ube iced coffee will immediately replace whatever nine-extra-pumps-of-hazelnut venti latte you thought was your go-to. With plenty of seating in the pristine white and pink cafe and soft rock gently pulsing in the background, it’s a place where you’re just as likely to take a nap as submit that spreadsheet your boss has been hounding you about all week. Grab a black sesame donut and pound your keyboard until 2pm, when they’ll turn on "Closing Time" and show you the door.
