Hospitality and integrity are close cousins. The mark of a pro is equal treatment of all guests and a quiet passion for service and grace. In that light, Armando and his staff are shining examples of what eating and drinking out is supposed to be: a momentary respite from complicated world full of competing priorities. At this junction location, people are priority one.

September 2025

Junction used to be my absolute go to spot for a slightly elevated drink after work. They make great cocktails and had rotating nights like mule Monday, taco Tuesday, etc. Their happy hour was unbeatable with a wide selection of drinks for everyone, but now it’s been changed to a very run of the mill approach. Their food has always been good, but a little overpriced. Now that the happy hour has changed for the worse, I feel no major reason to go back :(

September 2025

This cafe was a cute spot with some decent food. Ordering at the bar and finding seating was a bit difficult. The food was well overpriced but seemed fine due to it being in DC. I enjoyed eating here but would not rush to go back.
