I stopped by Boccato, the new gelato shop in Clarendon, last night for some refreshing dessert. The really exciting thing was lurking in the corner though: a not yet hooked up two group Synesso espresso machine, two espresso grinders, and a pour-over coffee bar. At the Yelp page the owner says, “Get ready for our coffee and loose leaf tea service coming July..!!! Mindblowing!!!” Sounds like there could finally be a great new coffee shop in the neighborhood, just in time for me to move a couple thousand miles away.
Check it out at 2719 Wison Blvd. Arlington, VA 22201, just across the street from the Whole Foods.

The owner’s a really enthusiastic guy who likes for you to sample different gelato before deciding. He also wants to eventually fix up the rooftop as outdoor seating.
Though you will move soon, I think the new coffee shop will stay so you can visit it whenever you’ll be back again.
