"A giant Ethiopian kettle waves you down from H Street as you pass Sidamo, a tiny cafe with our favorite coffee in DC. Their Ethiopian light roast is so smooth, you might even get your coffee-adverse friend to give a nod of semi-approval, and they also have hard-to-find dark and medium roast options too. Order at a counter lined with dozens of loose leaf teas like hibiscus and egyptian chamomile before finding a table—and if none are free, grab an empty chair and make friends as the signs around the room suggest. If you’re hungry, we swear by the Ethiopian veggie sandwich dripping with lentils and pesto dressing and the buttery apple cake. " - Tristiaña Hinton
