Coffee & the Works carries many products from Bodum, Alessi, Brown Betty, and other higher-end lines. The small store is cluttered and appears to be filled at random, but a closer look reveals carefully curated items. More photos and info below the jump...

Sorry to tell other fans of this store, but it closed a couple of months ago (April ? 2011). It is now DC teas. (a boutique tea shop( j chez dc on Jun 25, 2011
Coffee & The Works is a wonderful DC source for home and gift ideas. They have merchandise changes with each season; and it always contains unusual, yet useful, household items.
While window shopping at lunch a couple years ago, I saw a staff member putting final touches on window display featuring a 28" long oval Michael Graves-designed tray by Alessi. .
Although I'd never seen that serving tray, it was love-at-first sight whereupon I asked to buy it. To which the clerk responded without missing a beat, I knew that window displays drew customers into the store, but this has to be a record because it took 5 seconds from the time I finished the display. From that moment on, I've been hooked on Coffee & The Works for my place and gifts as well. jesINdc on Apr 3, 2009
