Coffee Shop in Tenleytown

Recommended Posts

My new moms group is going on an expedition to the Wilson Aquatic Center in Tenleytown tomorrow. Does anyone know if there is a coffee shop nearby that could comfortably fit 6-8 moms, each with a babe in arms? The pool is right on top of the Tenleytown metro (behind the Whole Foods)--I'm ideally looking for something no more than 5 minutes walk away. I know there's both a Marvelous Market and a Starbucks in the near vicinity. Does anyone know if they would have the space for this kind of group, or are these counter operations only?

I know that Starbucks has seating, and even (unless rearranged) a little lounge-y area. No single tables big enough for 6-8 though.

The Whole Foods itself also has seating, and it may be that the tables can be pushed together. I've never seen very many people there, so finding room for 6-8 should not be a problem. The atmosphere is not as coffee-shoppy as Starbucks, of course.

The Marvelous Market space is weird. You would think a sandwich shop/bakery should be ideal for some indoor seating, but this one is not like the MM in Georgetown; they don't have a very good set up at all.

I agree with sacrilicious' assessment about WF and MM. I once saw a poetry group meeting at the Whole Foods. There were about 8-10 people, and it looked like they pushed the tables together. And the Marvelous Market seating is pretty uncomfortable.

The Tenleytown Starbucks has ample seating, but is usually pretty crowded. So, your best bet in the immediate vicinity would probably be Whole Foods.
