West Coast favorite Blue Bottle Coffee has slowly made its way over to the East Coast, first settling in NYC before embarking on our nation’s capital. DC’s first Blue Bottle location is set to open in Georgetown this Sunday, July 9th. Off the beaten path, this hip new shop is down Potomac, a little beside and behind Dean & DeLuca. Take a look at some pictures from their Friends and Family preview.

Coffee lovers lined up in the rain for today’s preview.

Welcome to DC, Blue Bottle!

Busy busy busy!

Delicious NOLA iced coffee!

Baristas hard at work as the line was nonstop!

Obsessed with this giant open window and the light it brings into the cafe.

Thanks to this group of friends who posed for a stranger to take their photo! Cheers!

This Louisiana girl definitely recommends the New Orleans iced coffee! It’s cold-brewed with roasted chicory and sweetened with organic cane sugar, and I couldn’t drink mine fast enough!

Two more locations are set to open in DC over the next year, Union Market being the next. Blue Bottle also offers coffee subscriptions for those of you who find it just too difficult to make it down to Georgetown right now.

Keep caffeinated,
