Perhaps a wooden tray with a palate cleanser would elevate it. However, It is not a great place to go and sit and savor because of the incredibly limited indoor seating and absence of outdoor seating. Part of the appeal is that it feels like a secret club with a non-descriptive entrance, which can be easily driven past without notice. The ridiculously limited hours also add to the mystique.

Not much more to say other than they've been solid every time. I'll keep stopping by whenever I'm in the area.

It comes with scrambled eggs, chechebsa (chopped up bread), and a grain. It was tasty, especially with hot sauce that adds a kick. There's plenty of seating with outlets and strong wi-fi.

Thank you to Zeke's Coffee for keeping us caffeinated during Lockdown 2020! We had been getting…read moretakeout coffee but after realizing we were spending the equivalent of two packs of toilet paper every day we decided it was high time to start making our own coffee. My husband set out to the Mosaic Center Farmer's Market for the goods. It was his first time out in the world in a month and he was pleasantly surprised by how safe and efficient everything was. The market made it very easy to practice social distancing and everyone was wearing a mask. When my husband inquired about which beans to purchase, the seller was very thoughtful in asking about how we would make the coffee, what our flavor preferences and more. Since we do not have a grinder at home, he ground the coffee as well. We are now fully stocked to make the perfect at-home cup at home and we can't wait to go through our bag (should be tomorrow!) so we can try some other roasts. Thank Zeke's for giving us the strength to work from home, parent, clean, and binge watch Netflix shows all at the same time. You are the best!

The lattes here are sweeter than savory but delicious, topped with thick whipped cream... I think it is homemade whipped cream, but whatever they do, they definitely aced it very well. - Habibi latte: very scrumptious! It is a must-get, although it's a seasonal drink, so it may not always be available...alas! Pretty sweet and almost like eating some Dubai chocolate as you drink it... worth the adventure! - The Bear Necessities: I was very impressed with this latte. I had low expectations, as most cafes can't perfect the dark art of latte for every latte drink on the menu, especially the seasonal drinks... But girl, I was proven wrong and I enjoyed this drink so much! It came with thick whipped cream topped with one graham cracker bear and crumbled graham crackers... The flavors were cinnamon and honey and reminded me of cinnamon crunch cereal in some ways, but of course, it wasn't too sweet though! I was tempted to order another one... The sandwiches (1 roast beef and 1 grilled turkey) were just average if you ask me to compare these with other sandwich specialty shops... next time, I'd try something else! Overall, no complaints as I'm impressed with the coffee options, especially the seasonal drinks! Service was good and quick. The employee behind the counter was super friendly and very accommodating to ensure she got our orders right. Plenty of seating on a Saturday late morning which was surprising. Lots of seating at the outdoor patio as well! Very spacious.

Great for a post-(long) run meal before I hop on the metro back to DC! The lattes are on the sweet side but delicious, thick, creamy, and very innovative--worth it. The food? Not so much, but still decent. I tried the following: - Habibi latte (hot with oat milk) - delicious!! Definitely a must-get. It was quite sweet but really reminded me of Dubai chocolate. Really amazing how they nailed down the flavors. Perfect for chocolate lovers and very unique and innovative. Presentation was also excellent, with a generous amount of whipped cream. - The bear necessities - equally delicious latte and really cute presentation too, with a graham bear cracker on top! I'm not a big fan of cinnamon-flavored drinks, but this one was more subtle. It was so thick and richly flavored that the cinnamon wasn't overpowering for me. I was very impressed. - Roast beef sandwich - meh okay. It was supposed to come with ciabatta bread (which I think would've tasted way better), but apparently, there was none that day, so I got it with sourdough bread. - Turkey sandwich - I got it served hot with sourdough bread, and my partner and I enjoyed this one more than the roast beef sandwich. The roasted red peppers were a nice addition to the sandwich. The accompanying salad with the sandwiches was fine, nothing special. Service was good and quick. Plenty of seating on a Saturday late morning, and the outdoor patio was cute and spacious.

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.

But, what really sets La Finca apart, is the combination of knowledge and genuine hospitality.

However, at La Finca, you will feel welcomed warmly, whether you're a coffee nerd or just looking for a great cup. It may have started as a small coffee cart and grown into a simple garage space with limited hours and no elaborate build-out, but what you'll find is passion, craftsmanship, kindness, and exceptional coffee.

They sell a few select beers and wines so it was fun to peruse them as we waited on line to order. Their menu is on boards behind the counter and they also have paper menus, which is helpful to those of us who need glasses! The staff was super friendly and helpful since I hadn't been there before. A+ to them for offering their coffee/espresso drinks in decaf! I had a vanilla latte and it had a deep, rich flavor. One of the best I've had in the area. For food, my friend had the bagel and lox and it was huge! She had to take half home. I had the garlic Boursin eggs. It was a nice pile of delicately cooked eggs, but I wished there was more garlic Boursin flavor. Still really good. It came with salad greens in a light vinaigrette, sauteed mushrooms, and avocado. Very nice dish. They have a serve-yourself water station and, though they bring out your order to your table, you must go get your cutlery and napkins. They have a nice number of tables for a small place and we were lucky to snag one. Overall, a really nice experience and I plan to go back with my husband next time.
