If Starbucks has proved anything, it’s that there’s no such thing as too many coffee shops too close together. But dense real estate planning isn’t just for corporate coffee anymore: Now places serving pour-overs, coffee flights, and rare beans are popping up near each other, too. A good portion of the city’s most ambitious coffee programs (yes, “programs”) are now clustered within a relatively small stretch of the city between 14th Street NW and Shaw. Consult this map for the ultimate cup in D.C.’s Coffee Quarter.
