Slipstream — Restaurant in Washington

To survive as a local business during (and after) the pandemic, you need to innovate. Slated to open before the pandemic, Slipstream's newest and third location needed to pivot with the downtown audience suddenly gone. They slowed down and designed out the small space with the pandemic in mind. They took out a few seats to leave room for safe distancing while customers wait for their lattes. Outdoor seating is being added. Compared to its two other locations, this one is the smallest, but it fits the downtown working crowd.

Coffee program is incredible with roasters like Onyx Roasting Lab featured. My go to is the drip, and it's always 👌🏼, but espresso and pour overs are on offer.
