The friendly cook cooks from scratch so you may want to call in your order. The daily specials, like rice and vegetables, are to die for. The coffee is the best I've had in Takoma.

I popped in for coffee based on the great reviews, but it’s not the kind of place I would want to sit with a book. More of a quickie fluorescent-lit lunch counter and the air wasn’t fresh. My main complaint is that I spent almost 4 dollars on a tiny cup of black coffee the size of a “short” cup at Starbucks. Also, they don’t have actual American drip coffee so I had to take their espresso style Ethiopian coffee, and it was SO bitter that it actually tastes SOUR. I just wish that when I asked for black coffee The friendly lady would have told me they don’t have American drip coffee. I would’ve gone elsewhere. Not coming back.

Such a gem! Cannot recommend this place enough!
Got a Iced Caramel Latte and a chocolate muffin and 2 samosas.
It was so good!
Then saw someone recommend Fetira with honey so I got that and another Latte.
Fetira with honey is so good. Reminds me of a Korean sweet pancake. ?
Atmosphere is also amazing and staff was so nice.

They also have an ATM, hookah, ria money transfer available.

This is one of those places where you'll come for the coffee, stay for the atmosphere. It's calming, despite the near highway traffic just outside. I initially came here after finishing up an oil change next door. I ordered a custom drink which was not on the menu, along with some lentil samosas. The older gentleman who was at the desk, who I'm assuming is the owner, was quite friendly and accommodating with my order (Thunderbolt).

I will say that the espresso was strong yet balanced. It was smoky, paired well with the lentil samosa. The samosas were a little spicy, yet deceptively filling. There was a good amount of lentils in there, despite the layers of breading.

While there, a random man came near the shop and was accosting folks for money. The shop owner came out of his way and managed to turn them away. Overall, this place was quite charming and the espresso. Add to the atmosphere of the café, and the good coffee options, it's safe to say I will be returning.

Had coffee there this afternoon while waiting for my oil change at Jiffy Lune. Man that coffee was amazing. Definitely going back. They do that Ethiopian coffee right! Good Job! I also had a samosa and it too was so delicious and the right amount of spice, freshness, and crispiness!
