Bethel Cafe is a small, hidden gem of a restaurant located off Columbia Pike, known for its Ethiopian cuisine. It is one of the few Ethiopian places that opens early, at 8:30am. The cafe offers a variety of vegetarian options, including a vegetarian combo and a veggie platter, which are highly recommended. The lentils have a nice spice to them, and the injera, a type of Ethiopian flatbread, is spongy and enjoyable. The coffee is made from roast to finish, providing a fresh and unique experience. Customers have praised the amazing food and service, describing it as above and beyond. The owner is kind and welcoming, treating guests like family and sharing the Ethiopian coffee ceremony. Many have enjoyed the Bethel Special for 2, which is nicely portioned and flavorful. The cafe also sells Ethiopian spices, making it a wonderful place for both dine-in and delivery. Parking is convenient with spots available right in front of the location.
