Best coffee shop in the area with really good chais and really good coffee (I hear). The food selection is also great! There is also some nice limited outdoor seating.

I had an incredible experience here! I’ve never tasted such amazing, real single-origin Ethiopian coffee. The customer service was wonderful—warm smiles and great hospitality. The place is cozy with a beautiful cultural atmosphere, and I completely lost track of time because I felt so comfortable. I’ll definitely be getting my coffee here every chance I get. I highly recommend this spot to all coffee lovers!

*Warka Coffee is truly a gem in DC!
The quality of the coffee here is outstanding you can taste the freshness and the care that goes into every cup. The espresso is smooth and rich, and their specialty drinks are some of the best I’ve had anywhere. The staff is warm, welcoming, and incredibly knowledgeable about their craft, which makes the experience even better. The space is clean, modern, and perfect for a quick stop or getting some work done.

If you’re looking for high-quality, specialty coffee with amazing service, Warka Coffee should be at the top of your list. Highly recommend!

Gave it a shot based on reviews and it didn't disappoint. I had their tuna salad sandwich (a personal favorite) and the caramel latte. Peaceful atmosphere and no wait.

I love Warka Coffee! The owners are so friendly and passionate about what they’ve built. I ordered the ginger turmeric chai (something new for me) and was pleasantly surprised by how delicious it was! They also offer a great variety of pastries, which is a nice touch. The owners shared that Warka means “community” in their language, and they truly live up to that. You can really feel the community vibe inside Warka Coffee. Highly recommend!

I love stopping by this place on weekends or grabbing a quick latte on my way to work. The coffee has a distinct flavor you just don’t get everywhere, and the creativity they put into every cup really sets them apart. Plus, they offer fresh food made in-house, so it’s not just a coffee run — it’s an upgrade.

The service needs more work and professionalism. I ordered an iced Moroccan latte which for some reason they didn’t have on the line. They kept asking me what I ordered and I kept saying iced Moroccan latte with almond milk. For some reason they kept making iced americanos. They asked me again and I said iced Moroccan latte with almond milk. The guy made a hot version and I said no I ordered iced. Then another guy was like you saw him make hot why didn’t you say anything and I was like I didn’t see him make anything I was not paying attention. It’s not my job to know how to make the drink when you’ve been messing up and taking a lot of time. Very unprofessional. Will not come again.

LOVE everything about this darling cafe. Very warm cozy welcoming atmosphere. Potentially the best coffee I’ve ever had in the US. They don’t do a large cappuccino but if you ask for a large latte with a double espresso shot, it’s practically the same thing. Coffee itself was superb. Highly recommend this cafe if you are staying at any of the nearby hotels.
