Has anyone tried this place out?
Update:
I also forgot to throw in there that, yesterday, I noticed a worker from the Juan Valdez coffee shop handing some coupons on the sidewalk opposite of the store. I wonder why some of the overflow from Starbucks hasn’t made its way across the street? The Juan Valdez is mostly empty when I go inside, despite its strong drinks.

Definitely still Gallery Place. The closest metro stop is a tossup between Metro Center and Gallery Place (9th & G).
Poor Juan Valdez. 
Anon: You’re right, it’s probably more like “Metro Center Neighborhood.” That’s why I listed Penn Quarter in there too..
I have tried the tacos and enjoyed them. It’s great to be able to stop there on my way home from work. Also, I consider it to be relevant to Gallery Place as more retail and food establishments improve the overall neighborhood.
I tried Qdoba today and it was great. The people were really friendly too.

I love the Juan Valdez! It is my favorite place in all of Gallery Place! So open, such friendly people, new and interesting coffees.
What is not to love, unless, of course, you are addicted to whatever crack-like substance Starbucks puts in its coffee. Oh wait, maybe that is just sugar, or even more likely yet, HIGH FRUCTOSE CORN SYRUP. Americans lap that stuff up. Down with the corn subsidies I say!
Sorry, the comment form is closed at this time.
Holy crap is that still Gallery Place – 11St?
