Sospeso at Essential

  • Post author:

The Essential Baking Company‘s Wallingford café down on 34th is encouraging the growing caffé sospeso movement: started in Naples, Italy, it’s a tradition to pay for an extra coffee so that someone less fortunate can enjoy one later on. Very kind.

While I am sure it will disgust many of you, I have many fond memories of digging through the dumpsters behind the Essential Baking Company for their discarded, day-old bread. It was a sad day when they moved their baking operation to their Georgetown location.

I started Wallyhood back in 2008, right when my son was born, because I realized I had lived in the neighborhood since 1993 and didn't really know my neighbors. I figured writing a blog about what was going on around me would be a good way to meet people and help other people do the same. As the years progressed, those neighbors have picked up the torch and it is now a group effort, which I adore. I moved out of Wallingford for a few years (2020 - 2025), but I'm back, now living with my wife, son and dog (Dillinger) up in Tangletown.

    Yea! Let’s all do our own small part in inviting and encouraging more vagrancy into our neighborhood!

    Bam! That was quick.
    Yes, indeedy, the lure of a free cup of coffee will be pulling the unfortunate from miles around. Because that’s worth busfare. And not available anywhere else. And, of course, there’s no one in need in the community now.

    This is why we can’t have nice things–someone will gripe.
