    I love! I've been exploring coffee shops/cafes in the area to find a good place to get some work done uninterrupted and hopefully enjoy a hearty lunch. This is it! It's very cozy with ambient music and smells like a warm home. There were about 3 other patrons but a couple tables open, so it wasn't hard finding a spot to settle in. I ordered the grilled chicken sandwich and a hot chai for lunch - chicken was served on ciabatta bread and super flavorful, very filling. Service was quick and polite, it seems like a mom & pops. I think they have a patio but it was a little chilly this day so I wasn't looking to sit outside. I was able to lock in for a few hours which was a huge plus. There's plenty of street parking with steady foot traffic but once you're inside, it's easy to block out the noise

    Sidamo is a must try spot for your coffee and breakfast fix when you're on H st, especially if you've worked up a appetite shopping at Whole Foods. We needed something quick and convenient and this place hit the spot. It's a cozy, comfy place with a nice patio out back. Very friendly team. And the menu has more than enough options. We snagged coffee and a couple breakfast sandwiches (not pictured) and would absolutely return.

    When I went here, the place wasn't too crowded + I can hear my friend talking. I thought the chai latte was alright... nothing too crazy. Vibes were alright. Sad to say I might not come back as there are other cafes in the area

    Stopped by a few times for coffee and the lemon raspberry cake which were great. The inside later in the day can be pretty crowded, but I grabbed my orders to go. The staff could be a little more friendly.

    Staff were efficient and pleasant of a busy morning. I recommend the iced vanilla latte on a hot day. Chocolate croissant was solid and the cafe was clean, smelled good and had ample seating.

    It was ok. Coffee was good but the wait was long and it was so crowded inside. The tables are crammed together. Not great seating options. Might try it again in the summer when the outdoor seating is available, but probably won't be back for the indoor seating.

    Refreshingly not trendy spot! Interior is eclectic and looks like it evolved organically over time (rather than styled to resemble other buzzy instagrammable coffee shops). There's a patina that's endearing and makes you want to sit and read a newspaper. My latte was great.

    Great local spot for delicious coffee! The vibe is very homey and you can tell everyone that comes in is looking to relax or catch up with a friend. I didn't check if there was Wi-Fi, but I didn't notice anyone with their laptops or sitting to work. I got the jamocha which is a sweet chocolatey drink that reminded me of blended nesquik chocolate milk. It was really good and super creamy. Ive heard their chai is really good so I would love to come back and try it. It's a small space so it may be hard at times to grab a table, but if you can it's a fun vibe!

    Omg. You can definitely taste the good quality of this coffee. They also roast it right in front of you so you KNOW it's good. The croissant was so flaky and buttery. And the iced caramel latte was so creamy and sweet. It also has such a cool chill vibe and they have a lovely patio to sit at. The servers are also so friendly and it was a great way to start my Saturday. I will definitely be back for more

    We love a coffee shop with some WiFi! I love this quaint shop. Food is good, it's so warm and homey. I love working from here especially when I can get the table by the outlet! There's outdoor seating, the people are nice and yall it's perfect. I love the matcha.

    Ice Chai Tea Latte
    Tatiana W.

    I am AMAZED by this cafe. It was so good and I will be back again. The iced chai and iced jamocha were so rich and creamy, you could taste the individual favors in each one, not watered down by the ice or losing texture at all. The Ethiopian vegetable sandwich may have been the best thing I've eaten all month! Highly recommend.

    The BEST chai I have ever had! 10/10. The mix of flavors and spices and the perfect amount of sweet. Can't wait to come back.

    I live ~10 min drive north from this location. This is my second time coming for a private event…read moreand both times I've come, I've said out loud, "I should order takeout from them once a week!!" They operate a deli counter in the front and a bar / speakeasy in the back. You can rent out the bar space for private events. Last night, we had the space (and a bartender!) to ourselves, along with 3-4 different types of sandwiches. There is something SPECIAL about their seeded Italian bread. The perfect flakiness and texture. I enjoyed the chicken fontina and Italian. The caprese was my least favorite--not sure if they use a balsamic or what, but the flavor wasn't coming through. Before I left, I decided to order a large chicken cheesesteak to take home for lunch the next day. It was a bit of a risk to order a hot sandwich that I would have in the fridge overnight but I heated it up in our air fryer/toaster oven for all of 10 mins and the bread was good (not soggy) and the sandwich itself was delicious. I enjoyed it so much, I didn't stop to take a photo until the last bite :) It's a decent size sandwich--I ate half for lunch (along with my own chips and veggies) and have another half for tomorrow so while it's not cheap, I think it's reasonable.

    This place fell way off…read more I was fooled by social media and ordered their Thanksgiving sub... false advertising. Did not look like the video - all bread and extremely SKIMPY. The worst part is they charged me nearly $20 for that abomination. What a rip off. I thought they were decent pre-covid, but apparently they just don't seem to care anymore. Other places make loaded sandwiches... save your money!!

There is metered street parking and commercial lots/garages within a reasonable walking distance from here. They serve wraps, salads, and cold and hot sandwiches. I ordered the Korean Steak Sandwich. It took them about 10 to 15 minutes to prepare my sandwich. They should use a number system for order pickups because people, including myself, had difficulty determining which order they were serving. Many of the sandwich names sounded alike. My sandwich was kind of small for the price, and it wasn't very filling. It was, however, very good. It was flavorful and packed with flavor. The service was ok. It was nothing special. They did their job and did not go beyond or be overly friendly. All in all, I would recommend checking this deli out for some really good sandwiches. They really do live up to their name, the Best Sandwich Place.

Personally, don't think the hype meets the expectations. But with that said, it's still a good wrap and I'd get it again but I don't think it's the best wrap I've had or worth going out of your way for. If you're hungry and near by, sure go get it but don't make any special trips just for this wrap. Id love to try their other options on the menu at some point!
