PROJECTED OPENING: March 2025 600 H Street NE Dolcezza, the iconic gelato and coffee shop, is kicking off its expansion plans with a new location on H Street opening this March. This will mark the sixth outpost for the award-winning local shop, known for its small batch gelato and craft coffee program. The new shop will have indoor seating for 18 guests plus additional seating in the lobby of the Apollo’s building. The new H Street location will debut a Dolcezza Soft Serve program that will launch with two flavors: Pistachio and Dulce de Leche.  Also making their way to the rotating soft serve menu will be flavors like Sambayon, Lemon Meringue, Nocciola, and Single Origin Chocolate. The soft serve flavors will be served alongside Dolcezza’s signature 20-flavor gelato menu, fresh roasted coffee from Unido, which roasts coffee inside Dolcezza’s Union Market factory, pastries from local favorite Pluma Bakery, and ceremonial grade matcha from Rocky’s Matcha.

PROJECTED OPENING: April 2025 610 Water Street SW Fish Shop, a new restaurant by the Artfarm team, will be opening on The Wharf this April. The restaurant is a celebration of the region’s history and seafaring culture. Fish Shop will source from local fishermen and will highlight local makers and artisans in both design and community-building programs. Sustainability is at the forefront of Fish Shop’s practices, with the table tops and lamps made of recycled plastic and glass, respectively, and whole-fish butchering happening onsite to reduce waste. Ria Montes will lead the culinary program.
