About The Potter's House Cafe & Bookstore

The Potter's House is a not-for-profit cafe, bookstore, and event space in the Adams Morgan neighborhood of DC. Since opening its doors in 1960 it has been a key place for deeper conversation, creative expression, and community transformation. The Potter's House re-opened in early 2015 with a redesigned space and exciting new offerings. Our menu is made from scratch and plant-centric, while including something for everyone. Our "Pay It Forward" program ensures that all who enter our doors, regardless of circumstance, can enjoy a delicious meal. Paired with the food is a high-quality coffee and tea program. Stop in for a single origin espresso from Counter Culture Coffee or a heritage herbal tea from Rishi Tea. Want something sweet with that
