Way back in October, GM first reported on the impending opening of Puro Cafe on upper Wisconsin Ave. For a small cafe, it really seemed to take a long time to actually open. But today the wait is finally over and Puro Cafe opened its doors to the public. GM stopped by for lunch and he can attest that the wait was worth it.
The first thing you’ll notice when you enter Puro Cafe is that you’ll feel like you walked into a high-end hair salon. Think of it as if Ilo started selling paninis: the aesthetic stark and modern, the music background-techno.
As GM reported last October, the design team behind Puro Cafe is Tasty Concepts, who are actually located just upstairs from the cafe. They are also the design team behind restaurants like Mei N Yu and West End, and their professional hand is evident throughout Puro Cafe.
Today GM tried out the ham and cheese croissant panini. It was simple but quite flavorful due to the fromage forte (cheese ripened with wine and herbs) spread on the ham. The menu appeared to offer a light Mediterranean fare of sandwiches and salads. The cafe also offers a wide variety of espresso and other coffee drinks.
A variety of appealing pastries from Cacao in Bethesda are also available:
Finally it appears that a small outdoor patio will be open for warm weather:
In GM’s opinion, Puro Cafe lives up to the independent-high-end standard that has come to define upper Wisconsin Avenue in Georgetown. GM recommends you stop by this weekend and try it out for yourself.
