The neighborhood between Columbia Heights and Parkview is actually called Pleasant Plains . . . hence the name of the Civic Association. I’m really happy to have a coffee shop like this down the street from me; it’s an easier alternative for me in the AM. It’s walkable from Parkview & CH as well, obviously.

Park view is immediately north of Pleasant Plains…but don’t ask me for the exact boundary. All I know is i receive the ParkView community newsletter…but from my understanding it’s still a part of Columbia Heights…yes…no? Anyway, Nani Kafe will be checked out at some point

what DC puts on your tax records doesn’t really matter, that’s just there for the bean counters. one of the big things is that there are neighborhoods and sub-neighborhoods. like, shaw is an uber-neighborhood, but there are sub-parts inside of it, like truxton circle, blagden alley, logan circle, etc.

Nani is my favorite neighborhood spot…a 2 block walk from home, fresh coffee, delicious danishes, and tasty sandwiches.
I encourage everyone around the ‘hood to visit this great local spot ASAP!

Do they have a serviceable toasted bagel and cream cheese? Hard to find that anywhere…lots of substandard imitations.

Even if they don’t, I’m always down for more local coffee spots – Despite (or because of) the quality product, Col Hgths Coffee is a clusterf*$K on most weekend mornings….

Thanks everyone for the positive outlook.
We are open M-F 7 AM -7 PM and Saturday 7 AM – 6 PM, we are closed on Sunday for now because we’re still working on the shop to expand the menu and to have more sitting area especially outside sitting. Yes, we have Bagel with cream cheese and we do any occasion party platters any size. No WiFi yet. If anyone has any suggestion please fell free to contact us. E-mail nanikafe @ yahoo. Com
