The in-house cafe serves as a gathering spot for the Van Ness community, and the store's programming consistently draws diverse audiences for meaningful conversations about literature, identity, and social change. Loyalty has quickly become one of DC's most important cultural institutions, proving that intentional curation can transform a bookstore into a movement.
