What to know

The Second Address opened to bring a familiar, feel-good cafe to Capitol Hill with a subtle Mediterranean twist. Founders wanted a place where neighbors could drop in for a reliable morning coffee or a leisurely lunch flavored with olive oil, citrus, and herbs. By pairing classic breakfast and lunch favorites with fresh, approachable Mediterranean accents, the cafe offers something both comforting and a little surprising. Its two-level layout creates a casual, communal counter experience below and a quieter dining room above for lingering conversations.
