Latte, Iced Tea
Chris D.

It was a nice spot! It's small, but they do have all the fixings of a restaurant such as full bar, menu items, but are set up for grab and go. I haven't been for breakfast, but I got a coffee, iced tea and a muffin. All were very good. The muffin was warm and the latte was on point. I love Ethiopian coffee! All the amenities you get from any other coffee shop or restaurant for that matter. There was one person working at the time, so depending on the time of day, it may require patience. SUPPORT LOCAL.

I was in the area getting my hair done and wanted a treat afterwards. I love Ethiopian coffee and found this place near. Zee was working the register. He was very nice and gave me suggestions on what I should I try. I got the caramel latte with whipped cream subbed with oat milk. It was really good! While I was enjoying my coffee and croissant, a small group came in signing. Zee took his time and communicated with them to make sure their needs were met. That was so admirable. Outstanding customer service! I'll definitely be back next time I get my hair done or in the area.

Signature Iced Caramel Latte

Love the atmosphere, lots of space to work. The prices of the coffee is reasonably priced and its Ethiopian coffee which I love. They even roast their beans onsite! They have injera too and an Ethiopian breakfast menu. The service is great especially Jordan, was very helpful and accommodating with informing me of my options. Will definitely be back again!

Adulis Café: A Must-Try Ethiopian Gem in Uptown DC & Silver Spring! I just discovered Adulis Café, and it's an absolute game-changer for Ethiopian cuisine in the area! Visited today with my best friend, and we were blown away by the abundance of flavors in their vegan platters. Once you start eating, it's impossible to stop--every bite keeps you coming back for more. We ended up lingering for over an hour, savoring every moment! Highlights: Perfectly cooked dishes: The lentils, chickpea stew (shiro), collard greens, yellow peas, and cabbage/carrots were flawless--shoutout to the incredibly talented chef! A vegan/vegetarian dream: As someone who cooks veggie platters often, Adulis is now my top choice for dining out. Organic coffee & tea: Don't miss their roasted coffee and variety of teas (my pick: Earl Grey--so aromatic!). ***It's immaculate & very decent place!!*** If you're in Uptown DC or Silver Spring, run to Adulis Café! The food is unforgettable, the vibe is welcoming, and the flavors will have you hooked. Can't wait to go back!

Amazing service, they always say hi and even remember our names now that we are regulars!…read more The coffee is phenomenal and the chocolate donuts they bring in on the weekends are my favorite:)

Yay! I'm about to get done with the 2025 alphabet series! Once again the last of the alphabet…read moreseries ends with a Z business like the 2021 & 2024 alphabet series, 2025 ends with Z is for Zeke's. Plenty of the years didn't end with Z as there was no business to represent. I visited Zeke's on Wednesday, January 22, 2025. I schlepped to DC for a Yelp event that afternoon and decided to wifi nearby. I knew Zeke's from trying them once in Lauraville, Baltimore City, 6 months earlier in July 2024. See my 5-star review of the Baltimore one written in August 2025. The coffee drink I got was very good. My main issue was the barista was unfriendly like asking him a couple of menu questions was inconvenient for him. It was a bit crowded, but I managed to find a seat and do some work. I could see why it would be crowded, the drinks are good, and it was an Arctic icebox outside that day; it was the only warm business on this block one could hang out for a while. The mood was somber in there as I overheard people talking about you know who's inauguration just 2 days earlier. If the barista had been friendly, they would've gotten either a 4 or 5-star, but it kind of soured my experience with this location.

Definitely my favorite Ethiopian restaurant in the area! The meat and two veggie combo is just the…read moreright amount of food for two people and the price is fantastic. I prefer the spicy tibs, but the crispy tibs are also quite good. My favorite side is the lentils and salad. My wife loves the cabbage and carrots. I like adding the extra chicken leg as well. I only wish they had a full chicken meal and some spicier sauces. We come here at least once a month and always enjoy ourselves. It has become quite popular and there are a lot of white customers these days... I hope the food maintains its quality and flavor. The service is always friendly and I like the Ethiopian beer.

I've been coming here quite a lot lately because the ethio food is not only second to none…read more(especially if you're a meat eater), but the place has pretty decent ambiance as far as your hole-in-the-wall ethio spots go. I always get the veggie combo, and I probably always will. Their tomato lettuce salad is perfection, not an afterthought, and I wouldn't mind if they gave me a whole bowls worth to grab in every bite! I've sampled bits of the meat off my partner's platters, and it far exceeds any we've ever tasted around here from an ethiopian restaurant. Back to the ambiance. I recently brought two good friends here because the space is bright and decent. That said, reservations are a MUST if you are bringing a party of larger than 2, due to how tiny the space is, and for a group, you really need to get spots either by the window or maybe their dark nook in the back. (you'll know when you visit). So so good... I'm not sure I want to go anywhere else at this point for my ethio fix!
