The Village Blend, DC has a very desirable location in a historic building on Wisconsin Avenue just off M Street in the heart of Georgetown.
Not incidentally, Clare’s move to DC enables her to be close to her boyfriend, NYPD Detective Mike Quinn, while he is on special assignment with the Justice Department.
Clare is managing the coffeehouse and roasting the coffee beans. Jazz musician Gardner Evans, a part-time barista at the original Village Blend, is managing the jazz club. As Madame proposed in the epilogue of Once Upon a Grind, this second location includes a jazz club as well as a coffeehouse. In Dead to the Last Drop by Cleo Coyle, the fifteenth installment in the best-selling Coffeehouse Mystery series, Clare Cosi is living in Washington D.C., rather than in her familiar Greenwich Village neighborhood in New York City.Ĭlare’s octogenarian employer, Madame Dreyfus Allegro Dubois, has decided to expand the venerable Village Blend coffeehouse business to the nation’s capital.
