Doubles

Step into Doubles and you’re greeted by a quietly vibrant corner of Washington, DC where the pace softens just enough to invite focus and comfort. This spacious coffee shop and bar unfolds with warm light, thoughtfully arranged seating, and a soft murmur of conversation that encourages both work and casual connection. Whether you’re settling in with a laptop or meeting a friend for an afternoon break, the atmosphere feels intentionally unhurried yet alive with a welcoming energy.

What makes Doubles special isn’t just the pulsing aroma of freshly brewed Small Planes coffee or the satisfying comfort of a carefully crafted cortado or iced chai—it’s the sense of a community taking shape around these everyday rituals. The wide, open spaces and cozy patio shared with the neighboring pizza shop create a relaxed flow that invites lingering, while upstairs offers a surprisingly playful touch with table tennis and extra seating, adding layers of personality that feel distinct and genuine.

Food here complements the experience with straightforward honest flavors—think of sandwiches where tomato jam and flaky croissants quietly elevate a simple morning, or delicate scones and pastries that pair effortlessly with your chosen drink. It’s the kind of place where the menu fades into the background, letting the genuine hum of the space and its regulars take center stage.

Doubles cultivates an approachable charm, a spot where people come not only to refuel, but to find a little pocket of calm amidst the city’s rhythm. It’s a place for thoughtful moments, communal warmth, and subtle discoveries—the kind of neighborhood spot that quietly becomes one of your favorites over time.
