Very cute place! Has a great atmosphere and really cozy. I got a white mocha which was pretty good, and my mom got a chai latte which she said was OUT OF THIS WORLD. The staff was very kind and I loved how you could watch them roast their beans right in front of you! If you're looking for somewhere to stop in I recommend! read more

Came in during a walk and got an iced chai. The flavor was wonderful a tad milky but would get again. The service was quick and friendly and the space is very cute! Has an outdoor area as well would be perfect in the fall to hangout. read more

Authentic Ethiopian coffee roaster that roasts its own beans from various regions. They do pour overs and offer other espresso offerings. If you are near the area... come check them out. Medium roast... which is why I gave it 4 stars instead of 5. I feel like a light roast is necessary to taste the beautiful notes in all the regional coffee offered. Beautiful shop and reasonably priced. The baristas are so helpful and kind. Loved their hospitality. read more

Small homey cafe with its own machine to roast their coffee beans! Ice mocha - not too sweet, a little on the richer chocolatey side but pretty good! 3.5/5 Vanilla latte (hot) - lightly sweet and you can still taste the coffee flavor comes through! 3.75/5 read more

Cute little cafe on h st perfect for a coffee date work sesh or just a cozy book afternoon with a friend. Amazing mocha latte that's perfectly sweet and served in the coziest of mugs. Sit down and have it in a mug if you can I swear it elevates the experience when you need 2 hands to grip your bowl cup. Service so friendly auntie behind the counter makes every cup with love and care. I crave this mocha religiously! read more

I love! I've been exploring coffee shops/cafes in the area to find a good place to get some work done uninterrupted and hopefully enjoy a hearty lunch. This is it! It's very cozy with ambient music and smells like a warm home. There were about 3 other patrons but a couple tables open, so it wasn't hard finding a spot to settle in. I ordered the grilled chicken sandwich and a hot chai for lunch - chicken was served on ciabatta bread and super flavorful, very filling. Service was quick and polite, it seems like a mom & pops. I think they have a patio but it was a little chilly this day so I wasn't looking to sit outside. I was able to lock in for a few hours which was a huge plus. There's plenty of street parking with steady foot traffic but once you're inside, it's easy to block out the noise read more

Sidamo is a must try spot for your coffee and breakfast fix when you're on H st, especially if you've worked up a appetite shopping at Whole Foods. We needed something quick and convenient and this place hit the spot. It's a cozy, comfy place with a nice patio out back. Very friendly team. And the menu has more than enough options. We snagged coffee and a couple breakfast sandwiches (not pictured) and would absolutely return. read more

Give this place a try. They have great breakfast options and Ethiopian food. They even have an Ethiopian coffee experience. The coffee is roasted in house so you will taste the difference from big coffee chains. I can see why this place has been around for so long. They have many loyal customers. They also have a huge tea selection in case coffee is not your thing. They have loose leaf teas in different varieties from all over the world. read more

This became our breakfast stop during a recent visit to DC. The coffee was great! Both regular and specialty varieties. We also tried the breakfast sandwiches which were delicious. Counter service was prompt and pleasant. Definitely would go back if we're in town again read more

When I went here, the place wasn't too crowded + I can hear my friend talking. I thought the chai latte was alright... nothing too crazy. Vibes were alright. Sad to say I might not come back as there are other cafes in the area read more

A great, quiet coffee shop to grab your morning drink, breakfast, or sit down and get some work done. The space is tight so get in where you fit in. The food is fresh and good; and the staff is pleasant and helpful. read more

Stopped by a few times for coffee and the lemon raspberry cake which were great. The inside later in the day can be pretty crowded, but I grabbed my orders to go. The staff could be a little more friendly. read more

Truly wonderful neighborhood coffee shop. Quaint, comfy, and rustic. It has that neighborly vibe. It has a great atmosphere inside as well as in the back outdoor seating area to drink your hot or iced beverage and eat your sweet baked goods, as well as have a lazy and pleasant conversation. During my visit, it seem like the iced white mocha was a favorite among the regulars and locals. So, why not try one. I ordered one, and another beverage. It was refreshing and delish, and not too, too sweet. The other beverage is an Ethiopian style hot tea, which was pleasantly spiced. Just wait for a few minutes to cool down before drinking. If you like Ethiopian coffee/beverages and some time to spare, then you will definitely like Sidamo. read more

Staff were efficient and pleasant of a busy morning. I recommend the iced vanilla latte on a hot day. Chocolate croissant was solid and the cafe was clean, smelled good and had ample seating. read more

It was ok. Coffee was good but the wait was long and it was so crowded inside. The tables are crammed together. Not great seating options. Might try it again in the summer when the outdoor seating is available, but probably won't be back for the indoor seating. read more

Refreshingly not trendy spot! Interior is eclectic and looks like it evolved organically over time (rather than styled to resemble other buzzy instagrammable coffee shops). There's a patina that's endearing and makes you want to sit and read a newspaper. My latte was great. read more

Great local spot for delicious coffee! The vibe is very homey and you can tell everyone that comes in is looking to relax or catch up with a friend. I didn't check if there was Wi-Fi, but I didn't notice anyone with their laptops or sitting to work. I got the jamocha which is a sweet chocolatey drink that reminded me of blended nesquik chocolate milk. It was really good and super creamy. Ive heard their chai is really good so I would love to come back and try it. It's a small space so it may be hard at times to grab a table, but if you can it's a fun vibe! read more

Omg. You can definitely taste the good quality of this coffee. They also roast it right in front of you so you KNOW it's good. The croissant was so flaky and buttery. And the iced caramel latte was so creamy and sweet. It also has such a cool chill vibe and they have a lovely patio to sit at. The servers are also so friendly and it was a great way to start my Saturday. I will definitely be back for more read more

I am AMAZED by this cafe. It was so good and I will be back again. The iced chai and iced jamocha were so rich and creamy, you could taste the individual favors in each one, not watered down by the ice or losing texture at all. The Ethiopian vegetable sandwich may have been the best thing I've eaten all month! Highly recommend. read more

The best iced chai in DC hands down. The service is always top tier and super fast. Great place for remote work as well.

Very friendly environment. Staff were very nice. Beautifully decorated. Hot chocolate was good, a little watered down. A lot of the furniture was in bad condition tho. Hoping they can replace it soon. read more

So they roast the beans literally right in front of you. There is a coffee roaster that they have someone comes by and roasts the coffee that they serve and sell whole bean or ground. I ordered an Americano, and an egg, cheese, and bacon croissant, and they were both delicious. The coffee was literally just roasted so it was definitely one of the freshest americanos I had ever had. The place itself is super quaint and low key. I love the aesthetic, and local vibes that this place gives off. You can tell that there are locals who come by and know the workers, and there's a community in this place. I came here to work, and the music was easy to listen to while I worked, and while seating was very limited, I did find one with an outlet, so I will definitely be working here again in the future. read more

Great coffee on H street! Nice vibey spot in DC to go work, study or even just hang out. Will definitely come back for coffee. Had coffee and white mocha; delish! read more

It's a dream. It's like being in a cloud. A sweet, light caramel dream if you order that caramel latte!! A mini size was more than enough for me. One sip and I fell in love. The ambiance, soothing music, friendly barista and chill coffee shop patrons make this a great spot to stop by. Oh and pro tip, check in first for a discount!! I'm always forgetting that part. read more

My latte was awesome!! The barista was so nice and quick to prepare my order. The inside was very cozy as well :)

Chanced upon this super cute and authentic Ethiopian coffee shop opposite my yoga studio. Decided to try out the coffee pot with my friend which takes a bit of time to prepare but comes in a cute tray and we had several cups of it each. The coffee isn't very strong so it's perfect for a mid afternoon sip. read more

If you're looking for something savory and refreshing, definitely consider the Veggie Foul (FOHL). Its so nicely made and flavorful (and vegetarian) - I thought I was just going to snack a bit but found it in me to devour it all. I will be craving it until I have it again. Also got a plain latte that was really nice and strong! The wifi was fast and I was able to remote in. read more

Best coffee and croissants in the area, hands down. This small coffee shop has some extremely dedicated workers that make it happen even when there is a rush of patrons. Love that this is walking distance for me, it'll forever be a little treat to myself! read more

Arguably one of the best and most consistent coffee shops in the area, food is also excellent! Highly recommend

Cool spot off of H street. Felt cozy which was different than most other coffee shops in the area! Small shop with a few shareable tables and many patrons on their computers or chatting with the staff. Ethiopian influence and many options. We went twice in one day, the staff said "welcome back!" read more

Great Ethiopian coffee place on H street. Good vibe and people. The place was busy on Sunday morning, wait time is about 10 minutes but it is worth it. Also there's a patio at the backyard. read more

The best coffee in the neighborhood by far. They import it from Ethiopia and roast it in giant roaster in the front section of the shop. It's a great place to relax or work. They sell whole beans as well as prepared drinks and food. The staff are always friendly and helpful. read more

such a cute coffee shop on h street! they serve ethiopian coffee and even have it being made just right in the front of the store. it's on the smaller side but is a really local place so i'm usually able to find a spot. they have guest wi-fi that works great so i find it to be a great place to work from! the people who work there are also so lovely! they have fantastic coffee (around $4), a good selection of pastries, as well as breakfast and lunch (a bacon, egg, and cheese is around $5.50!). it's a really great and lowkey spot, a favorite of mine on h street! read more

Came on a busy Saturday morning! It's a quaint little shop, and fairly small. Staff was really nice. Sandwiches were ok, 3.5/5, and coffee was 4/5. Nice little spot in walking distance and always prefer shopping local! Will be back. read more

Really great iced coffee. Great prices and plenty of seating, plugs and Wi-Fi. What's there not to like? Was glad this place was open later when most places close early on Mondays. Recommend stopping by and supporting this local business. Comfortable chairs and sturdy tables. I'll be back one day when I'm back in the area. read more

3.5 for me, espresso was decent but not outstanding. Love the interior, there are a few tables to sit in and also a nice private patio in the back to enjoy your drinks outside. read more

Excellent breakfast sandwich and smoothie. Nice atmosphere in this small coffee shop.

Found Sidamo by word of mouth through friends. I was super excited when I found out they have Ethiopian coffee! They roast their coffee daily and I can tell their coffee isn't like so many other places - super smooth and delicious! Having Sidamo coffee was the first time I actually 100% fully enjoy my almond milk latte! Excellent until the last drop. The coffee came super hot, just the way I like it in the morning. My friends ordered cold and hot teas and loved theirs too. Sidamo cares about the quality of the drinks they serve, and it makes a huge difference for the customer. Highly recommend this place for coffee and tea lovers!! read more

The BEST chai I have ever had! 10/10. The mix of flavors and spices and the perfect amount of sweet. Can't wait to come back.
