"This Atlas coffee spot serves delicious Ethiopian coffee made with house-roasted beans. It’s the perfect spot to hunker down for the work day or with a good book, with delicious pastries and egg sandwiches to accompany caffeinated drinks plus vegetarian lentil sandwiches, meaty paninis, and Ethiopian platters on injera served up around the lunch rush." - Emily Venezky
"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." - tristiana hinton
"Located just steps from the state’s Capital, Chicory Coffee & Tea will close on February 1. According to the Bee, the business opened in 2005 and became a go-to for legislators, lobbyists, and state workers." - Paolo Bicchieri

"A lot has changed on the H Street corridor since Sidamo Coffee & Tea opened more than 12 years ago. But Sidamo remains popular for its chill vibe, in-house coffee that’s roasted daily, and light fare. After Sunday classes at Orangetheory, barre3, or CrossFit, stop in for the afternoon Ethiopian coffee ceremony."
