About Mitsitam Espresso Coffee Bar
Recent Reviews
This has been my go to place for lunch when in DC. I love the sampler platter with food representing the cuisine of the different native cultures in various geographic areas of the continent. They reflect how the peoples incorporated the available fish and animals and the types of grain and vegetation into their meals. Not inexpensive but a cultural as well as a gustatory experience.
I highly recommend the bison burger
Excellent food. May bring kids with me tomorrow again to taste the fare.

This cafe, located in the Museum of the American Indian, is known for its delicious and unique food options.
