Sidamo Coffee and Tea

Fell in love with that little Ethiopian café ! Truly authentic , with real Ethiopian music and a real Ethiopian touch. Most importantly: the best chai tea latte I have ever had. Glad I had the “gigante”

Really great coffee and tea . They have a muffin like pastry that is also fantastic. The staff is really nice and it has a Great, neighborhood vibe . Way better food and coffee than any chain

Come in for their Ethiopian coffee ceremony Sundays at 2pm. Ask Kenfe about the dancing goat legend of the origin of coffee ! Amazing experience and I'll be going back. :-)

Best coffee in town ! Incredible beans and they have a grinder for use if you want to pre-grind your coffee . Great little rose garden in the back for relaxing

Their chai tea latte is very good. And they have a bit of a secret back patio that's a great place to get away from the traffic that is H St. (3 of 4 petals via Fondu) Read more

I loved it! The iced coffee is wonderful, and the folks who own the shop are very gracious, and ensure your drink is just right!

I think this place is fine. Although more speed might be appreciated by some, the time that they spend on your drink does show, and makes the finished product worth the wait.

The vegan breakfast is delicious! And the chai latte !? Heavenly! Ask for it with soy for an even sweeter bite!

Chai tea latte is wonderful, worth the wait, and can be shared between two people.

Great coffee and a cozy place to do work or just sit and read for a bit.

It is my favorite and best place to get coffee in DC -- watching the man roast the beans is by far one of the best things and the aroma around the neighborhood is great!

Very cozy , friendly and authentic . Excellent breakfast options and sidamo macchiato .

Be sure to check out the back patio ... A hidden gem in terms of productivity.

sit in the back outdoor patio for a slice of serenity.

Great coffee , atmosphere and friendly people...and the best café music ever!

Nice family owned vibe. Awesome outdoor (kind of secret though) area out back.

Bring a touch of patience with you. Things move a bit slower here, but the coffee 's worth the wait with plenty of people watching , including The Art Man and the guy who carries his cat on his shoulder Read more

Their caramel latte is fantastic. Also very affordable options.

Tea is loose leaf and comes in a French press . Great way to spend an hour people watching or reading.

Sometimes, I'll come here after a 6AM run, and it takes just as long to get a cup of tea as it does during the morning rush. I'm not sure why, but at least it tastes good!

Ask to sit Out Back---there's a great little sitting area---shady & cool

LOVE this spot! It's rather small, they make one of the best Chai Latte's in town . The food is good too!

The staff is always friendly and the mochas are always delicious.

Extremely limited seating . Don't bet on having a spot. The coffee , though, is fantastic.

Great chai latte - made with a lot of care.

Iced lattes are great! Skip their iced coffee though.

Lovely service, amazing chai latte . and one of the best secluded patios in the area.

Owner roasts beans every day at 3pm. Fantastic!

Have a nice sit down out on the back patio with a French press of something you haven't tried before. The French press is the way to go.

'Morning chai ' is the same as a dirty chai latte and it is da bomb!

This is the place to go for coffee and tea on H St NE

Awesome place Carmel latte is to die for

Try the Smoothies they are awome!!!...yeah the service is slow but the product makes up for it!!!

The veggie sandwich is amazing

Try the iced coffee , their house roasted beans lend a smooth taste and they cold brew so it is less acidic.

Go out the back door and find a tiny little paradise in back!

Sidamo chai leben is delicious!

Maybe it's part of the charm, but the front window is dirty and buzzing with flies. Good coffee , though. Next time I'll try a seat in back...

Try the jamocha; it's breathtaking.

Chai latte is amazing.

The food is almost as amazing as the coffee . And the coffee is pretty amazing.

Try out their chai tea latte : it's much BETTER than Starbucks!

Really nice tuna salad

Even though thei chai latte is madebwith powder, it is delicious. I also highly recommend the chicken Caesar salad .

I can't speak to anything other than my first experience, which involved waiting ten mins for a bagel w/ cream cheese .

French press coffee is excellent and worth waiting for.

Best beans in DC

I really like their grilled cheese sandwiches and of course their coffee .

The best coffee !!

Cute place!
