M.E. Swing Coffee House in Downtown DC

Looking for great coffee to go in the heart of the nation's capital? Your search may be over. M.E. Swing and Company is a super-cool-but-oh-so-old Washington, DC institution that's been serving up great java for busy Washingtonians for years and years. Located downtown, on G Street, M.E. Swing is filled with the same old original mahogany and mirrored fixtures, vintage burr grinders, wooden coffee bins, and counter-weight scales it had at the coffeehouse's old location on E Street, a few blocks away. This blending of the old and new is a wonderful metaphor for M.E. Swing's evolution from a small, local café to a sizeable, downtown DC java joint.
