Crema's Take
“Sidamo Coffee and Tea is a cozy neighborhood gem that celebrates Ethiopian coffee culture with carefully sourced beans and thoughtfully crafted drinks, earning its 4.6-star reputation among DC coffee enthusiasts. The rustic, light-filled space—complete with a serene back patio—welcomes you to linger for hours, whether you're working on your laptop or savoring their beautifully plated brunch items and pastries. The owner's genuine warmth and the shop's quiet, unhurried atmosphere make this the kind of place where you arrive for a quick coffee and suddenly realize hours have passed.”

I ordered a brunch set, and I was very satisfied with the sandwich. But I didn't like Cafelatte so much that I wanted to run away. This is a drip coffee cafe. The owner was kind and seemed like an Ethiopian immigrant sister. This place seems like a sandwich place to me. Cafelatte was like a milk 😰
Simply said .I love this place. Very cozy. Nice stuff. Came here, had a coffee and sat and sat and didn't want to leave. I love the rustic interior.
December 2025 Great local coffee gem for fresh roast coffee. Wonderful local vibe with nice coffee selections. Will love to visit soon and recommend highly.
A beautiful cozy bright coffee shop with plenty of coffee and tea options including Ethiopian coffee which a favorite of mine. I had an egg sandwich that was beautifully presented and absolutely delicious. The staff is very kind and friendly. There are fresh flowers in every table. Nice soft music playing in the background. A fireplace which I hope they use during winter. And the outside is beautiful with many butterfly bushes and colorful umbrellas. There are even small gifts to purchase. If you are looking for a place to enjoy a good coffee or tea and a sandwich and unwind and just be or get some work done this is the place
You need to stop by here!! Cute local place with Ethiopian flavors and delicious drinks. With a quiet interior and a gorgeous back patio, this place is a perfect relax cafe. The drinks, food, desserts are all delicious! I got the iced tea, a spiced ice and milk delight all blended together 10/10, the grilled cheese — OMG pesto, tomato, cheese, all on a sourdough bread, and a slice of the apple cake, a soft fluffy, not-too-sweet-but-sweet-enough with a cinnamon crumble topping. Everything is a 10/10. All the workers are so kind and genuinely want you to have the best experience. To top it all off?? Dog friendly! The back patio is a perfect spot for you and your puppy. Definitely coming back
