Adams Morgan's Tryst celebrates 15 years of Coffee & Community
Tryst Coffeehouse, Bar & Lounge, located in Adams Morgan, recognized
its 15th anniversary on September 1st. From Sunday, September 15th
through Monday, September 30th, Tryst will celebrate its 15 years in
Adams Morgan by offering "15 Days of Tryst".
Throughout the 15 Days of Tryst, guests may participate in an
interactive timeline featured on the walls of the restaurant, adding on
to photos, old menus, and guests’ stories about their life-changing
events that occurred at Tryst. The canvas boards depicting the last 15
years are hung on the far back wall so that guests can view the
timelines and add their own memories.
Ward 1 CM Jim Graham says, “Tryst was the pioneering, cutting edge venue for up and coming Adams Morgan. The first lunch, the first casual location, it broke through all contrary expectations, Happy 15th!"
When owner Constantine Stavropoulos, a Philadelphia native, moved to D.C. he sought to create a place where people go to connect with one another—a third place—away from home and the office. “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.
Tryst is located at 2459 18th Street NW, Washington, DC.

Tryst is bringing back its 1998 opening house coffee price – $1.50 for
an in-house cup for these 15 days. In addition, Tryst will offer guests
an assortment of popular throwback dishes and cocktails that have been
featured throughout the years including the Danielle Salad, made with
fresh mesclun greens, tomato, cucumber, Kalamata olives, and feta cheese
drizzled served with a house-made pear vinaigrette and the Mary
Sandwich, made with turkey breast, Tryst’s Avocado Spread, tomatoes,
lettuce, and white cheddar served on a sourdough baguette. Both menu
items, like many others, are named after longtime loyal customers. In
addition, Tryst is bringing back one snack offered at opening, Swedish
Fish served in a large martini glass.
