Culture Coffee Too owner Veronica Cooper (aka Ms. V) at Culture Coffee in Brightwood Park
This summer Culture Coffee is opening a second location, Coffee Culture Too, in Riggs Park at Fort Totten Square. Culture Coffee is a neighborhood coffee house that combines coffee and culture, hosting open mic nights, live music, and artist exhibits. We caught up with Culture Coffee Too owner Veronica Cooper at the original Culture Coffee, which she opened with her business partner on Kennedy Street NW in Brightwood Park in 2013.
Ms. Cooper (known as “Ms. V” to her regulars) anticipates holding grand opening events for Culture Coffee Too the week of July 10 through July 16, 2017, with a soft opening before then. A retired dressmaker, an accountant, a certified barista, Ms. Cooper hopes that Culture Coffee Too will be a community gathering spot for everyone. She will host sewing and arts and crafts classes for girls and looks forward to welcoming the neighborhood’s senior residents to Culture Coffee Too for activities as well. In addition to hosting art exhibits, Ms. Cooper wants to establish a jazz program for the new location, featuring jazz events on a weekly or monthly basis. The space will also be available to host meetings and private rentals.
Culture Coffee Too will serve coffee, tea, smoothies, wine, beer, coffee cocktails, pastries, and sandwiches. There will be outdoor seating. Some details, such as operating hours, may be adjusted over time. The coffee shop could be open as early as 6:00 or 6:30 am and as late as 10:00 or 11:00 pm depending on the pace of business.
We look forward to supporting a small, locally-owned business that will provide a true neighborhood gathering spot for coffee, culture, and conversation in Riggs Park. Culture Coffee Too will be located on the corner of 3rd Street and Riggs Road NE, occupying the last available retail space at Fort Totten Square. Stay tuned for the soft opening date and grand opening events.

Why do we need a coffee shop around here? Are u too lazy to make coffee at home? Too many companies with coffee makers out now. Could have found something definitely better than a coffee shop.
