I had a great 5-star gluten-free experience here at Yours Cafe in DC. Although they did not have a separate gluten-free menu, the staff was very helpful and took my gluten-free needs seriously. I let the server know about my dietary restriction, and they checked with the kitchen to confirm what could be safely prepared. The service was attentive, patient, and reassuring. They made sure my order was adjusted properly and seemed careful about avoiding cross-contact. The food came out fresh, well-prepared, and delicious. I felt comfortable dining here and appreciated how accommodating the team was. I would definitely come back and recommend it to anyone looking for a gluten-free-friendly restaurant in DC. read more

I stopped here after an appointment to grab a quick bite and was pleasantly surprised. To start, the employee working on that day was so incredibly helpful. It was Friday early afternoon. She immediately greeted me as soon as I walked in and then went over all their options with me. They do open face sandwiches but she said any can be made into a regular sandwich. She gave me recommendations as well. I decided to go with the chicken open face sandwich but as a regular sandwich and the sea salt caramel latte to go. The latte was really good and was not weak. I ate the sandwich when I got home and it was also very good. The chicken and sumac onions were delicious! The place has plenty seating if you want to just work and drink coffee or order full meals with friends. There is also a good size patio in the front. It's definitely a nice addition to the area. read more

Yours Cafe - Iced Sea Salt Caramel Mocha - Cafes Near Me - Washington, DC, District of Columbia

This Ethiopian café at 2619 Connecticut Ave NW in DC's Woodley Park is near the National Zoo and offers a charming neighborhood vibe. Its menu features signature dishes, brunch options, quiches, salads, vegan choices, cocktails, sandwiches, teas, matcha lattes, and specialty coffee. We enjoyed brunch here, especially the generous portions, fresh salads, tasty matcha, and excellent signature coffee. The service was exceptional, and the cozy, clean atmosphere was inviting. Kedija's humor and friendliness made us feel very welcome. - The perfect breakfast sandwich was generous, hearty, healthy, and tasty, made with tomato sauce, cheddar, avocado, fig harissa, egg, salt, and pepper. - The brioche egg benedict was delicious. I loved the perfectly toasted brioche bun, smoked salmon, and poached egg, served with fresh salad. - The hearty spicy chorizo pasta was filling, with balanced flavors from chorizo, harissa (a staple in North African cooking), garlic oil, and well-cooked penne pasta. - Their donuts and croissants paired well with signature coffee and matcha lattes. read more

Food: 3/5 | Service: 2/5 | Ambiance: 3/5 Yours Cafe could become a neighborhood gem, but unfortunately it's still a little under polished. The staff and owner are very friendly, but when the cafe is busy, service is frustratingly slow. No one acknowledged me when I came in for breakfast around 9:30 am, and after waiting for 15 minutes, I had to get up to get my own menus. It took even longer for my order to be taken. Water was offered only after I had already placed my order, and then no one came by to refill the small water glass. The cafe simply doesn't have enough staff to operate at full capacity. Food and drinks are okay, but unfortunately don't make up for the lapse in service and long wait times. It was also very hot today (over 100 degrees F), and the AC inside the cafe felt like it was barely on. I and other customers were noticeably sweating. Lastly, ordering and seating procedures are confusing. If the staff notice you coming in, they will tell you to seat yourself if dining in, but it's not obvious to customers whether you should order at the counter first or wait to be served. I've been here several times and watched a lot of customers be confused every time. Service is so slow that most people take it upon themselves to order and pay at the counter, even if they're dining in. Visible signage (e.g. "To Go: Order Here" above the counter register and "Please Seat Yourself for Dining In" by the entrance) would help a lot to reduce confusion. It would also help if menus were placed at the front of the cafe rather than in the back. Perhaps the cafe should also look into giving people the option to scan a QR code at their table to order and pay on their phones rather than waiting a long time to be served by a waiter. read more

Yours Cafe is nice enough spot to meet a friend over coffee and pastries, but it's got stiff competition against nearby Rose Ave and Open City. There's plenty of seating, though I wish their back tables were smaller because then one person using their laptop takes over an entire four-top. Service is a bit slow when the place gets crowded. We left a little early when a large group of book club folks came in and tried to take every available chair they could (they should've called ahead to give the staff a heads up). Food is decent enough, especially the tasty shakshuka with lentils, but the omelet was quite dry. And maybe it's just me getting old, but the classical background music was way too loud for a Sunday. There's enough people chattering to keep the place lively. This space was empty for awhile, so I'm glad Yours Cafe is here, and I wish them success. read more

Glowing online reviews led me to Yours Cafe across the Woodley Park Metro. Waking in, you'll notice the large space with tables near outlets throughout. To eat, I got the pistachio and chocolate croissant. Unlike other croissants, the pistachio was more of a custard. To drink, I ordered a hazelnut latte. There are restrooms in the back. Service is kind. read more

Great little hip modern coffee shop and cafe inside of an old building in Adams Morgan on the on Connecticut Avenue across from the station. The cafe offers quality pastries and food, in addition to a variety of coffee drinks, mostly Ethiopian and French. There is live music as well sometimes, which happened to be soft jazz when I came. read more

If you're in Washington DC, do yourself a favor and stop into Yours Cafe. We found this lovely little café while in town for a work conference and ended up having one of the best team breakfasts we've had in a long time. The coffee was outstanding and every bit of food we ordered was fresh, flavorful, and clearly made with care. What made the experience even better was the owner herself. She waited on our group and brought such a fun, welcoming energy to the entire place. She was charismatic, engaging, and made us feel like regulars from the moment we walked in. 10 out of 10 experience. Great food, amazing coffee, and exceptional hospitality. I'll absolutely be back the next time I'm in DC. read more

Great spot to hit for breakfast or brunch if you're traveling to the zoo for the day. Came in, sat down and ordered from their unique and limited menu. Breakfast items on toast seems to be the theme. Got the avocado toast and it was scrumptious! Their drip coffee was awfully good too. Must come early for some fresh pastries though, as they were almost sold out by the time we reached the restaurant around 10:30. read more

Stopped in for coffee & breakfast. Food was very good. Service was great. Staff is very friendly and nice. Relaxed atmosphere.

About a 1-1.5: Yours Cafe seems to be a newer breakfast/brunch spot in the Woodley Park area - Seeing the high reviews, we decided to stop by here on a weekend morning to check it out. The menu offers grain bowls, open-faced toasts, salads, tarts, as well as coffee and tea beverages. We ordered: +the Steak Toast - note that the picture on their site does not depict what we received; this was a baguette that was topped with overdone/tough steak, topped with tarragon sauce - not sure where the sliced scallions, the salt, pepper, and the basil was, as stated in its description; the horseradish cream may have been a very light smear, but could not be tasted; the tarragon sauce was awful, as it just tasted like black licorice and was overpowering in taste; the steak was just not edible, and the whole dish was just not edible nor tasty; the side slide with a simple light dressing was fine +the Shakshuka - prepared with tomatoes sauce, sliced yellow squash, diced zucchini, and lentils, topped with some feta cubes; there were also random whole grape tomatoes (which supposedly were 'confit tomatoes' but were not) in there as well; unfortunately, this was one of the worst shakshukas we've tasted - the taste was extremely off-putting, as it had an odor and flavor that seemed as if something was spoiled or became rancid; there was absolutely no seasoning, and, to top it off, it came out lukewarm; strange, as it was set in a small skillet, but it didn't come out bubbling hot; the side of the bread could have been toasted with some olive oil or something The seasonal Hot Apple Cider Ginger (beware that there were unpeeled cubes of raw ginger throughout, adding a weird texture to it) and the Warm Cinnamon Roll Latte (prepared with espresso, steamed milk, white chocolate, and topped with cinnamon) were the only items that were somewhat enjoyed; we did request these to be extra hot, but they were just served warm. The prices are also extremely high - I don't mind paying for deliciously-prepared food, but it really did not justify the quality of the items we received. Staff are friendly, and there's plenty of indoor and some outdoor seating. It seemed like a popular spot amongst the locals, but it was definitely a no dice for us. Limited metered and street parking can be found in the area. +tough, overcooked beef +avoid the shakshuka +lukewarm items +limited metered and street parking in the area read more

This place was AMAZING! We randomly fell into this restaurant some looking for a quick breakfast. What was supposed to be a little 20 minute breakfast ended up becoming an hour and a half of comfort, GREAT coffee, and the freshest fruit I've had in a VERY long time. The owner was SUPER nice to us, and you can tell she cares so much about every little detail. Definitely go if you're in the area! read more

Great coffee, nice atmosphere, good service. The food is also good, but wildly overpriced. Worth it if you're hungry or just visiting, but I doubt I'd be a regular here. read more

Glad to have this cute little breakfast cafe open across from the Woodley Park metro! I especially like that they open earlier than most at 7 - I stopped by twice, once for a pistachio croissant and once for their Nutella beignet. Both are very rich. I've heard the coffee here is lovely, so I'll have to come back for that. Prices were very reasonable and the owner was lovely. Always happy to have somewhere new in the neighborhood! read more

Yours cafe has become a weekend tradition for us! All of their dishes are tasty, filling, and healthy! We have gotten the chicken toast, salmon tart, lemon chicken salad, and shakshouka - it is some of the best shakshouka I've ever had!

Paid (almost $10) way too much for a plain hot black coffee to go. Waited way too long with no line or customers waiting, for my plain black coffee to be put in a to- go cup. Then the plastic lids, none of them, fit the to-go cups. I squeezed one on, sipped what was a marginal cup of coffee at best, and that lid immediately popped off as I walked out of the cafe. I tried to reattach it, with coffee spilling on my hands, and finally tossed it into a passing garbage can. Then a fly landed in the open coffee cup, which I then poured into the street and garbage at the next bin. Bad service, bad coffee, bad price, bad experience. Plus they DO prompt you to tip. read more

Everything on the menu tastes like it was made with care. The ingredients are fresh, the flavors are bright, and nothing feels like an afterthought. The place is cheery and efficient. But what really sets it apart is the owner herself and her team. She has a genuine warmth that you feel the moment you walk in, and they all clearly take pride in making sure every guest leaves happy. Recently, the owner told me that this summer marks her first full year in business, and it's easy to see why she's made it. If you stop in, tell her congratulations! read more

I really want this café to succeed because it clearly has a lot of potential. It has a great vibe, a ton of energy, and it's impressive how much business they've already been able to bring in. However, the biggest issue right now is organization. It isn't clear whether this is meant to be counter-service or a true sit-down café, and that confusion leads to long waits, wrong or missing items, and guests not really knowing what to do. During my visit, my order was delayed and mixed up, and I noticed the same thing happening to other tables. The staff were kind and apologized, which I appreciated, but the overall experience felt disorganized and stressful instead of relaxing. With a clearer service system, better communication, and more structure, this place could truly be wonderful. I hope they tighten things up because I would really love to come back and enjoy it the way I think it's meant to be experienced. read more

What a lovely establishment! Newly opened, July 5 2025. The owner, Khadejah, was delightful; she was friendly and welcoming. Her food was fresh, healthy, and delicious. Served on vintage dish-ware, breakfast offerings included a generous grain bowl with quinoa, greens, and roasted vegetables, a tasty omelette with side salad, ham & cheese croissant, and a scrumptious toast with goat cheese, fig jam, and smoked ham. Coffees and Americanos were good. The cafe roasts their own beans. There were also sweet pastries in the display case. I was able to navigate the space in my electric wheelchair so accessible for many users. Seating both inside and outside. A nice addition to the neighborhood and convenient if you're staying at the Omni Shoreham. read more
