The main saku saku is moving to Tenleytown for good reasons.

I thought they were just opening a second location there, not relocating.

TBD what will happen with the Al Volo location/how long it will be there. The Tenleytown SakuSaku is where they’re moving all the production + they have their own lease.

Nice, I’ll have to check out. I haven’t loved their coffee but the pastries are great

The new location has a legit barista! I had a good latte there yesterday!

Honestly the lattes I’ve gotten at the Cleveland Park location have been really bad and way overpriced. Wish they’d get a barista at that spot

Last I heard they were considering staying in Cleveland Park too if they could work it out -- have you heard anything about that?

I think they also have access to the old Roma rear courtyard?

They definitely did at one point, but I think the might’ve lost access though? It’s a beautiful space that should get some use
