What we’re about
The Potter's House is a Pay-What-You-Can cafe & bookstore located in the Adams Morgan neighborhood of Washington, DC that exists to provide good food and community to all who cross its threshold, regardless of their means.
Since 1960, The Potter’s House has been a steady, welcoming presence in Adams Morgan, offering radical hospitality to all who walk through our doors. Our ethos revolves around the concept of paying it forward – every coffee and book purchase contributes to our organizational mission, and patrons can easily make additional donations to provide meals for those facing food insecurity. It’s with these funds and service mentality that the organization is able to serve more than 22,000 free meals per year to neighbors who might otherwise go hungry.
