Jaliyaa Coffee
2401 Fourth St NW, Washington, DC
Crema's Take
“Jaliyaa Coffee is a spirited neighborhood gem where serious espresso craft meets genuine hospitality, with a loyal following of Howard University students and DC coffee enthusiasts who rave about their consistently excellent service even during peak rushes. Their thoughtfully stocked alternative milk options and house-made pastries pair perfectly with both their signature espresso drinks and their standout matcha, making it equally welcoming whether you're grabbing a quick caffeine fix before class or lingering over a specialty beverage. What keeps people coming back isn't just the quality coffee—it's the warmth and care the team brings to every order, from remembering regular preferences to showing kindness to festival vendors.”

Jaliyaa is fantastic and they always provide incredible service. The truck at Howard is my go-to for coffee. I often go to them right before a class and they are always super quick. If you want quality drinks or pastries go to Jaliyaa!!!
Jaliyaa has always been very quick and efficient with their orders! i'm lactose intolerant so i usually order either the almond or oat milk, which they always keep stocked even on busy days. amazing experience to have as a freshman at HU, i love starting my day with an African Violet matcha.
I went to Jaliyaa back in May at the Plants Alive fest! I got the matcha and it was delicious! I also appreciated the kind customer service. I went on the day that I was a vendor, but because they were there for the whole weekend I decided to go back the next day! Can’t wait to visit Jaliyaa again!
Jaliyaa Coffee has been amazing. Every experience I’ve had there has been great, especially as a Howard University Student. Not only are they in close proximity but we even have some of our very own students working in the truck. Their menu is diverse and has a en echelon of flavors hailing from traditional African spices and cultures. Their fall menu has also been a great addition to their menu, my personal favorite being Sahara spice. Jaliyaa has been great to do service with and buy from, and I will continue going there throughout my 4 years at Howard and beyond!
Absolutely LOVEE this place! Their coffee (especially espresso) is to die for, can’t get this quality elsewhere. Love their lemonade and croissants so much! As for the service, literally cant get better, incredibly kind and have the prettiest smiles!
