Peregrine Espresso — Restaurant in Washington

I am leaving this review because I am highly disappointed with the service I received. I have been to this location several times before, alway friendly staff and informative. Today I received the worse service all because I wanted honey to sweeten my overly priced tea. So I do not use sugars or syrups to sweeting my beverages, I use honey.

Worth the wait, as it were.

On my maiden visit to Union Market, I was in search of coffee, which led me to Peregrine, which, as I soon learned, is the only on-premises coffee shop - as evidenced by the massive line that greeted my arrival. But, no matter, because these things are good patience-builders, and it just made my Americano that much better once I finally got it. Plus, the servers were friendly, and the Market's carnival atmosphere was not to be missed. In the end, I quite enjoyed my visit to Peregrine, and even ventured back through the line for seconds.

Big thanks to everyone at this vendor, for providing me with my memorable coffee. Keep up the...
