Bows and Arrows, a hipster style venue located in Midtown, features an array of clothing, food, art, beer, jewelry and furniture to cater to needs of those who want liven up their style.

Owners Trisha Rhomberg and Olivia Coelho opened Bows and Arrows in June 2009 originally as a retail clothing store on L Street in November 2007. Upgrading from retail, the pair wanted to branch out to be a small seller of all things special.

Events coordinator Sarah Hansel has worked at Bows and Arrows for more than two years.

“When people come they are able to enjoy more than just shopping or grabbing a bite to eat,” Hansel said. “We get people who wonder what kind of a place we are because of the neon beer signs in the windows, clothing when they walk in and our lounge and patio in the back.”

The boutique specializes in vintage clothing from the modern 1960s to the wild patterns of the 1990s. Jewelry is also selected from vintage finds to more modern-looking pieces.

Not only does it have numerous styles of clothing, Bows and Arrows has a peaceful, garden-friendly patio for customers to enjoy wine, food or the ambiance of its relaxed setting.

Omonivie Okhade, who sells her handmade jewelry and accessories made primarily from purpose-made materials called Tula in Bloom, said she enjoys the tacos Bows and Arrows serves up and cannot resist having one of her favorite cookies.

“They have the best chocolate chip and pecan cookies,” Okhade said. “They are so delicious. You really don’t want to share them with anyone.”

The café also features popsicles by Fat Face, which is a big hit for many customers such as the popular favorites that include strawberry lemonade, kaffir lime and avocado are created with raw fruit to intensify the mouth-watering flavor.

The coffee shop vibe that Bows and Arrow has creates a wonderful place for frequent customer to enjoy studying.

Senior interior design major Melissa Babcock, 21, said she was surprised to find more than a boutique when she decided to stop by for the first time.

“The place definitely has a hipster vibe and is very eclectic,” Babcock said. “I didn’t expect to find a boutique when I came here, which was a surprise, because most coffee shops I go to never have that.”

By offering a variety of food and clothes, customers can not only walk in for a glass of wine, but walk out with a new outfit as well.
