Specialties
Your Third Place
The French have their cafes, the English their pubs, the Greeks their tavernas and bodegas; what do we have in America? Somewhere between home and work we all need a ‘third place’ to go – where we can escape the stresses of everyday responsibilities but still connect (with high speed internet access if you choose) to the outside world. Tryst is defining that third place for us. At Tryst, you can linger over a latte, scarf down a sandwich, or get dressed up for a date and sip martinis. Here, you’re part of an eclectic mix of characters, art, and ambience. We offer the best coffee and espresso in DC, homemade pastries, hand crafted, rustic breads for our gourmet sandwiches, and an extensive selection of international beers, wines, and liqueurs. Food and drink are part of life and who we are, and as our lives become faster, more efficient, and less personal, we can take solace in the personal care that goes into Tryst’s products and service.
History
Established in 1998.
«The Greeks have tavernas, the French have cafes, and the Germans have their beer pubs. It’s…a place that kind of helps define you, the community.» 15 years later, Tryst is still just that to the Adams Morgan neighborhood, to the greater DC community, and even to first time DC visitors. Tryst has become DC’s community gathering place and helped establish DC as the east coast epicenter of specialty coffee. With its «No Corporate Coffee, No Matching Silverware» motto, Tryst welcomes you in to hang out drinking coffee, sipping on craft cocktails, snacking on a wide range of salads, sandwiches and small plates, viewing monthly changing art exhibits, and listening to live music.
