The Voice talks to Martin Mayorga

by Seth Grimes

Mayorga Coffee plans to open a new Takoma Metro location on January 25.  The site, at 314 Carroll Street, NW in Washington, DC, is directly across from the Takoma Metrorail station.  It formerly housed the Drifting Nomad coffee shop, which closed in November.  In December, Mayorga closed its own South Silver Spring location, where sales suffered after nearby construction eliminated parking and deterred visitors, according to the company.

Takoma DC resident Alice Giancola says she is "very excited about Mayorga's moving to the DC commercial strip...  Because of [their] welcoming atmosphere and good service, they will be warmly received here."  Takoma Park resident Anne LeVeque says, "I love Mayorga! Beyond serving the best coffee ever, they are supportive of the community."  As for Jill Gay, "I am thrilled Mayorga will be part of our Takoma Park community."

The new Takoma outlet will offer coffee beverages, fresh baked pastries, and whole bean coffee roasted at Mayorga's Rockville facility, according the Mayorga's Web site.
