 The French have their cafes, the English their pubs, the Greeks their tavernas and bodegas; what do we have in America?
Somewhere between home and work we all need a ‘third place’ to go -- where we can escape the stresses of everyday responsibilities but still connect (with high speed internet access if you choose) to the outside world. Tryst is defining that third place for us. At Tryst, you can linger over a latte, scarf down a sandwich, or get dressed up for a date and sip martinis. Here, you're part of an eclectic mix of characters, art, and ambience. We offer espresso drinks in the Northern Italian tradition, fine French pastries, hand crafted, rustic breads for our gourmet sandwiches, and an extensive selection of international beers, wines, and liqueurs that you won’t find most places. Food and drink are part of life and who we are, and as our lives become faster, more efficient, and less personal, we can take solace in the personal care that goes into Tryst’s products and service.

Tryst stands, in the heart of our nation’s capital, in stark contrast to the suburban culture and coffee chains that proliferate the country.
We’re a single location, owned and operated by the same couple that put this all together five years ago.
No, our silverware doesn’t always match, and we don’t have 75 different kinds of trademarked, pre-made caramel-nilla-frapp-a-ccino-supremas.
What we do have is excellent made to order food and drink, and a commitment to serving the community that has supported us through our growing pains. Enjoy a unique experience outside the cookie-cutter-corporate vein.

The art of the barista is a neglected art.
In the rush to put a coffee stand or chain on every corner and in every strip mall, no one bothered to train the baristas or educate the customers about espresso. We at Tryst aspire to the artistry of Northern Italian baristas who master the fragile complexities of light roast espresso. There's a lot of knowledge, skill, and talent that goes into every espresso drink we make.
That's why we carefully extract short shots, steam milk to order, and are retentive about freshness.
