👋 Mimi here to tell you about a new coffee shop-slash-cafe-slash-book store in NoVa.
Why it matters: Coffee + books + soft surfaces for lounging = my happy place.
State of play: Daydrift opened last month in National Landing/Natty L/the artist formerly known as "Crystal City."
Inside, you'll find a sunny, vibe-y interior where you can hang with coffee, smoothies, and breakfast and lunch options.
I went with the Harvest Salad (kale, sweet potato and farro), but was also eyeing options like the whipped ricotta toast and the Greek chicken soup.
Yes, but: It's more "book cafe" than a full-fledged Barnes & Noble — options were limited to a small wall of shelves featuring your standard big name authors like Sally Rooney and Ocean Vuong.
Zoom in: The storefront also hosts weekly meet-ups like a Tuesday quiet hour and Wednesday wordplay.
And keep your eyes peeled for upcoming author talks.
