It's a chain. There's one in downtown Silver Spring. Not too far for you, OP. Just jump on East-West Highway. When you get to Colesville, turn left and then look for parking. It's on a sort of brick pedestrian area in back of the AFI theater.
And it closed months ago.

A café, where some people can order coffee, some can order wine, you can order something to eat if you want (and it's not spinach artichoke dip) but not necessary. And you can actually sit and hang out without feeling like you need to rush out when you're done with your glass of wine, so another party can sit down. Any recommendations? (I'm 40ish and married, so not a place to meet new people, just to hang out with friends).
About La Madeleine? I am in my late 30's and enjoy the place quite a lot.

The 30 minute wait applies to Saturday and Sunday brunch only.

I think the food in Teaism is just not tasty. The tea... they put teabags in teapots. Is this acceptable for an establishment supposedly focused on tea?..
Wow, I've got to disagree. About the food, not the tea (I'm not a tea person, but DW loves it). I've always had great meal there -- the tea smoked salmon, the curries, the bento boxes, the cilantro scrambled eggs & naan ....
But hey--different food for different folks.

Teaism. There is one above Dupont Circle that shouldn't be too far.
The Teaism in Dupont is tiny and people area always hovering and eyeing your table. Not a good hangout for more than 2 people.
The Teaism in Penn Quarter, though, is awesome. (8th & D, either the Gallery Place or Archives metro stops.) Lots of seating downstairs, plus they have beer, wine, and more dessert options than the Dupont one.
