It was a rough season for the Washington Wizards, who finished with the NBA’s second-worst record as owner Ted Leonsis attempted (and failed) to move the team to Virginia. But Leonsis kept the team in DC, and now, their star player is opening up a business in the District. Wizards forward Kyle Kuzma launched a coffee shop, Childhood Cafe, off U Street today in the space previously occupied by ThreeFifty Bakery and Coffee Bar. The cafe, which riffs its name off of Kuzma’s lifestyle brand, Childhood Dreams, offers pastries and classic coffee drinks, as well as lemonades, non-alcoholic spritzes, and more specialized creations, like a strawberry Pop-Tart latte. -via Washingtonian / April 20, 2024
