Maple expanding into Columbia Heights Coffee space, adding second floor, backyard seating

Maple, the American restaurant with some Italian touches at 3418 11th Street NW, will be expanding into the space that housed the now-closed Columbia Heights Coffee. The expansion will basically double their size, which is good as it was often really, really crowded.

PoP also reports that they'll also have a second floor space which people can reserve for events plus back patio seating.

Sounds like some good additions to a popular and well-liked place (it gets 4 stars from 100 reviews on Yelp) though I do still miss Columbia Heights Coffee.
