Mid City Caffe Coming To 14th Street
Mid-City Cafe will open over Miss Pixie'sSince Sparky's served its last espresso nearly two years ago, I've been hurting for some good coffee in my neighborhood. Thankfully, that's about to change.
Mid City Caffe is slated to open in April, just above Miss Pixie's at 1626 14th St. NW. The shop will serve Counter Culture Coffee (hooray!), and Mick Mier, one of the owners, promises there won't be any stale drip coffee sitting around. Coffee will be made fresh by either french press or pour over method. There will also be espresso, cappuccinos and pastries.
You may recognize Mier's name — he's one of 1905's owners and the designer responsible for its funky turn-of-the-century look. He's designing the space for Mid City Caffe, so expect a cool vibe to go with your cup of coffee.

The name isn't crucial one way or another, but it is kind of boring.
I hope they do well.
I lived at 14th & Corcoran for 13 years and always felt this stretch was bleak, bleak, bleak. And it still is...
Regardless of the fact that no single block of 14th btn P and U is completely filled in with vibrancy, that stretch overall is one of the best in the city when it comes to neighborhood restaurants and independent shops. And Pixie's + Mid-City + the restaurant coming to 100% Mexico (helmed by Barton Seaver) all make for exciting additions to the block and a half.
What's coming to 100% Mexico? It's been 100% empty despite the rumblings I've heard...
