Mark B: Great, small local deli/coffee shop. Very good breakfast sandwiches and bagels. Owners are nice and appreciative of your business. Good place to support local business.
Mingbot Roberts: The espresso here is delicious though you better bring cash. No credit card charges under 5 bucks.
S: Great sandwiches, coffee, drink, and snack options. The owners are the nicest people ever, and the food is great!

Fitsum Belay: medium well burger with enough extra melted cheese (white cheddar, gruyer, swiss...) for the jalepeño slices to get lost in. unfortunately adding bacon is subject to inconsistent post brunch supply
Lynn Pina: You MUST get the scallop martini. It is incredible, especially the sorbet on top.
Washingtonian Magazine: You can count on good burgers and soups but the standout dish is the most out-there: a salt-rimmed margarita glass filled with lime-marinated bay scallops, tequila ice, and sour cream.

Ethiopian Restaurant · U-Street · 18 tips and reviews
Michelle Ferng: Ask for the 100% teff injera off the menu for the real deal.
Alice Eunjin: Best and most authentic Ethiopian food I've ever had! Everything is delicious, but my favorite was the beef tongue and tripe stew. Also try the mango juice
Teffera Teffera: Get the kintot, thank them later
