Adams Morgan Shuffle: SNAP Closed, Spoon Opening

Somehow, I only visited SNAP creperie (at 2475 18th St NW) once, for coffee. Although they opened the doors to this Adams Morgan store way back in summer 2010... I guess I'm just not too into crepes. And I've always been astounded how so many creperies survive in DC. SNAP even had a sister restaurant in Georgetown. 

However, it appears that the Adams Morgan location is closed for good. The store went dark just before the new year and now has brown-papered windows. I will always have a sweet spot in my heart for the long-long-gone previous tenant, CD/Game Exchange. RIP CD/GAME EXCHANGE.

Next door at 2473 18th St NW, Cali Yogurt also closed before the new year. It is being replaced by Spoon, another frozen yogurt shop. Cali Yogurt opened in early 2009 and took the space of furniture store Miss Pixies (which moved to 14th St NW). No word on an opening date for Spoon.

Work Continues at Caliyogurt

First signs went up in August. Looks to be moving along... Its at 18th and Columbia.

Fro Yo is an Abbreviation

Well, speaking of trends (see cupcakes below) there is a new frozen yogurt shop in Adams Morgan, Cali Yogurt. At one point, I thought Adams Morgan was safe from any venues that didn't sell alcohol or records, but I guess this place plans to pay the bills by riding the frozen yogurt wave. Since I'm vegan (and haven't had yogurt since, like, middle school) I have no idea how great or terrible it tastes, but the stuff does have some dedicated customers.

The yogurt shop (2473 18th St NW) replaces Miss Pixies which moved to an impressively large space on 14th Street near Logan Circle.

At least Cali Yogurt is spicing up the menu with organic teas. I mean, yes!, now there's a reason to stop by. I love chamomile. Also, I sincerely hope they change the name to Cali Fro Yo. I really do love abbreviating double syllabic words. What's next, Try SoBa and Lo (Tryst Coffee Bar and Lounge) or, wait, wait, what about BraMo (Brass Monkey), or JulNada's (Julia's Empanadas). I kid, I kid. Good luck to Cali Yogurt. Perhaps I will swing by for a tea this winter.
