Wire Me Up!

Need a scoop of mouth-watering home made sorbet gelato to get you through a lazy, hazy summer afternoon?  Or perhaps you just need a jolt of espresso to start off your day jam-packed with meetings.  Whatever the reason, I’ve got just the spot for you. 

I stumbled upon Killer ESP (Espresso Sorbet Pie) last week while wandering down King Street in Old Town in search of a pick-me-up.  Their double shot of espresso was bracing, to say the least, and got me charged immediately.  My friend sampled their chai latte and loved the real cardamom flavor infused throughout it.  We shared an empanada from Julia’s Empanadas, the famed DC outpost by Farragut North, which was delivered in the cutest red/white checkered rectangular paper container.  All of this for an even $10.  Let me repeat that.  Just $10!

Located at 1012 King Street, in between Patrick and Henry, this little shop features a few outdoor seats and lots of small tables and couches inside. Those imbibing can power up their iPads using the free wireless or simply enjoy one of the movies playing over the projector. 

Homemade gelato, Stumptown Coffee from Portland, Oregon, service with a smile and a charming interior that rocks a 60’s vibe.  Open Sunday-Thursday: 9 a.m. – 9:30ish p.m. Friday & Saturday: 9 a.m. – 11:00ish p.m.
