      Cool spot off of H street. Felt cozy which was different than most other coffee shops in the area! Small shop with a few shareable tables and many patrons on their computers or chatting with the staff. Ethiopian influence and many options. We went twice in one day, the staff said "welcome back!"

      Great local spot for delicious coffee! The vibe is very homey and you can tell everyone that comes in is looking to relax or catch up with a friend. I didn't check if there was Wi-Fi, but I didn't notice anyone with their laptops or sitting to work.

      I got the jamocha which is a sweet chocolatey drink that reminded me of blended nesquik chocolate milk. It was really good and super creamy. Ive heard their chai is really good so I would love to come back and try it. It's a small space so it may be hard at times to grab a table, but if you can it's a fun vibe!

      Sidamo exudes inviting vibes, offering a cozy atmosphere perfect for a relaxing coffee or study break. The friendly barista adds to the welcoming ambiance, making every visit a pleasant experience. While the Egg and Cheese breakfast is decent, it doesn't quite reach an amazing level. Nevertheless, for a delightful cup of coffee and a laid-back atmosphere, this spot is worth a visit.

      Omg. You can definitely taste the good quality of this coffee. They also roast it right in front of you so you KNOW it's good. The croissant was so flaky and buttery. And the iced caramel latte was so creamy and sweet.

      It also has such a cool chill vibe and they have a lovely patio to sit at. The servers are also so friendly and it was a great way to start my Saturday. I will definitely be back for more

      Really great iced coffee. Great prices and plenty of seating, plugs and Wi-Fi. What's there not to like? Was glad this place was open later when most places close early on Mondays. Recommend stopping by and supporting this local business.

      Comfortable chairs and sturdy tables.

      I'll be back one day when I'm back in the area.

      such a cute coffee shop on h street! they serve ethiopian coffee and even have it being made just right in the front of the store. it's on the smaller side but is a really local place so i'm usually able to find a spot. they have guest wi-fi that works great so i find it to be a great place to work from! the people who work there are also so lovely! they have fantastic coffee (around $4), a good selection of pastries, as well as breakfast and lunch (a bacon, egg, and cheese is around $5.50!). it's a really great and lowkey spot, a favorite of mine on h street!

      Chanced upon this super cute and authentic Ethiopian coffee shop opposite my yoga studio. Decided to try out the coffee pot with my friend which takes a bit of time to prepare but comes in a cute tray and we had several cups of it each. The coffee isn't very strong so it's perfect for a mid afternoon sip.

      If you're looking for something savory and refreshing, definitely consider the Veggie Foul (FOHL). Its so nicely made and flavorful (and vegetarian) - I thought I was just going to snack a bit but found it in me to devour it all. I will be craving it until I have it again.

      Also got a plain latte that was really nice and strong! The wifi was fast and I was able to remote in.

      So they roast the beans literally right in front of you. There is a coffee roaster that they have someone comes by and roasts the coffee that they serve and sell whole bean or ground.

      I ordered an Americano, and an egg, cheese, and bacon croissant, and they were both delicious. The coffee was literally just roasted so it was definitely one of the freshest americanos I had ever had.

      The place itself is super quaint and low key. I love the aesthetic, and local vibes that this place gives off. You can tell that there are locals who come by and know the workers, and there's a community in this place.

      I came here to work, and the music was easy to listen to while I worked, and while seating was very limited, I did find one with an outlet, so I will definitely be working here again in the future.
