In search for something better than Starbucks in Clarendon/Courthouse? Head to Boccato where you can get drip coffee and some gelato as well. I’ve yet to try the gelato (my friends say it’s money) but the coffee is really good in my opinion. You’ll wait 3-5 min for the process but it’s worth it. I try and head here every Saturday morning on my walk with my pooch (see image below) and they always leave a full bowl of water right outside by the benches. This is definitely a place to order and take away on a walk so don’t expect a sit down joint. Oh and it’s also connected to a small Italian grocery store as well.
