We are lunch here and loved it! Great food and service! The staff was so friendly and even fended off a very unreasonable customer in a polite way, with a smile. Would highly recommend!

This place must pay for reviews because I just had the WORST everything bagel. I could get a better bagel by toasting a generic brand bagel at home. Way too expensive. I don’t understand DC. This place feels like a expensive simulation

We are so glad to see this cafe do well in our neighborhood. I believe in cafes in every neighborhood. We walk our dog every morning and grab hot chocolate and coffee when we walk by this place. They have recently redid their interiors. Looks much spacious now and very welcoming. With my drinks, I often get their samosa or spinach puffs. It's so good. For lunch, my go to is their Ethiopian combo. They have 5 different veggies and recently added meat as well. Absolutely delicious! Depending on how busy they are, expect to wait for the Ethiopian entree. Worth it.

They have a gluten free bagel that was pretty good! Not a big fluffy bagel but thr flavor was good. I asked if it was toasted on the same spot as the normal bagels and she told me it's toasted in a bag. The chai was alright, a little sweet for my taste.Dietary restrictions: Gluten free bagel

Sylvan cafe just redid the whole interior and it is now a charming cafe that holds reminiscent nods to its vintage theatre roots. This now is a cafe that I want to spend more time in!

Sylvan got a fabulous makeover! This has been my neighborhood coffee spot for breakfast and lunch sandwiches for years. I always thought it had the potential and space to be a proper cafe where you could meet up or work, but the layout wasn’t conducive. Well, their complete renovation turned out amazing! Looks like they also expanded the sandwiches and Ethiopian menu also, and extended hours from 2pm to 4pm ❤️ Now, if they only brought back the fresh baguettes and bread loaves it would be perfect.
Great local spot that can easily be missed if you aren't looking right. Give this place a try on your next visit around Rhode Island & Capitol. The space is open and laid back, very community based. Everyone is so nice and the coffee had me wired for a solid chunk of time! The breakfast was great. Cannot complain here, just go try it now!!!!

This cafe is super cute and chic. Reminds me of a mom and pop shop with lots of style. There are lots of coffee and tea options to choose from as well as bakery and lunch options. I got an americano with a splash of almond milk and some caramel syrup. The coffee was okay, but given the snowy weather it made me feel nice and cozy. I was excited to try a coffee shop that is new to me in the The register clerk was very nice. I will 100% go back to try more things.
