This Friday, September 27, is your last chance to get a drink at Zeke’s Coffee’s original cafe in the Woodridge neighborhood of D.C.

Starting on Saturday, this location will be dedicated entirely to roasting coffee beans, and the coffee shop will officially hold the grand opening of its expanded cafe next door at 2304 Rhode Island Ave. NE.

The new space is minimalistic, with high ceilings, white tile, and stylish La Marzocco espresso machines. Over a dozen pieces of art from neighboring nonprofit Art Enables hang on the wall, along with photos of Lake Atitlán in Guatemala, where some of their coffee beans are sourced.

As part of the expansion, Zeke’s will offer an expanded menu of locally sourced food, including fresh juice from The Waterhole in Mount Rainier, bagels from D.C.’s Bullfrog Bagels, empanadas from DMV Empanadas, and gelato from Dolci Gelati.

The grand opening on Saturday will be held from 7 a.m. to 5 p.m., which are its regular café hours. Free coffee and cold brew will be available all day, and as part of the celebration, Zeke’s will offer 250 free doughnuts, with a limit of one per customer.

Magician Rahaan Jackson, a D.C. native, will also be on hand to entertain customers, young and old.

The cafe will be open from 6 a.m. to 5 p.m. on weekdays and 7 a.m. to 5 p.m. on weekends.
