Iced Sea Salt Caramel Mocha
Jasmine N.

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.

bacon and cheese omelet

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.

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.

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.

Chocolate croissant, Berry muffin
Andrea A.

Honestly, had kind of a strange experience here... we walked in on a Friday night for a sweet treat from their bakery. The server there told us to order from Too Good To Go, which I did but then realized the order was for the next day. The server told us that she'll ask the manager if something can be done about this, then maybe completely forget about it? We were approached by another employee who we relayed this to but nothing happened; finally, the original server came by again. I told her I'm happy to just pick it up tomorrow, but after some more time she got approval from the manager and gave us two pastries (a chocolate croissant and a berry muffin, both of which were fine). I appreciate that the server was perhaps trying to save us money, but the wait, and on top of that, getting just two mid pastries was slightly frustrating. On the bright side, there was live music while we waited, which was nice. There's a lot of space and seating, so it seems like a great WFH spot. 5/10 would maybe recommend, I'd need to try this spot again but am not likely to do so given that I'm in DC for a limited time and all the great cafe options available.

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.

Perfect breakfast toast
Katherine L.

Cute little cafe with outdoor seating. Stopped by here on a Sunday morning for a quick bite to eat and really enjoyed the breakfast toast. You order at the counter and then they bring your food out to you, but service was pretty quick. There was plenty of seating inside and out. Would definitely come back here if I'm in town again!

You can always count on great food. I have tried so many. They have a wonderful variety - pastries, coffees , snacks and their tarts are superb. And the smash burger came with a delicious onion soup.

Coffee is fabulous! Food is very good!! If it's busy, it's with good reason!! I highly recommend the Avacado Toast!!

French Toast

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.

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.

We stopped by Colada Shop during our trip to DC, and it ended up being one of our favorite meals…read morenear the Wharf! The restaurant is super cute, with a fun cafe vibe, and it's an easy walk from the waterfront. We ordered the Colada Trio, which came with empanadas, cauliflower sliders, and yuca fries. Everything was delicious, and it came with three different sauces that were honestly all so good. I could've eaten those sauces with everything. We also ordered the Platanachos (plantain nachos), which were flavorful and such a fun twist on traditional nachos. They accidentally forgot the cauliflower and mushroom topping, but as soon as I mentioned it, they brought it out right away along with extra sauce. Mistakes happen, but what matters is how a place handles them, and they were incredibly accommodating, which I really appreciated. It was pretty busy when we visited, and I noticed who I believe was the manager or owner helping clean tables and checking on guests. I always love seeing that kind of hands-on involvement. Great food, friendly service, and an awesome location if you're exploring the Wharf. I'd definitely recommend stopping by!

Overall, a 3 out of 5. Came in to take a look at the pastries but ended up getting a plantain…read morelatte. The drink is sweeter than I expected, which makes sense because it's plantain, but it has actual plantain pieces in it. I'd rather it be a syrup instead of little plantain chunks when you sip the drink. It's okay, but I wouldn't get it again. I'd like to come back in the morning and actually get some of the fresh pastries, as opposed to later in the evening. If I hadn't just eaten somewhere else, I definitely would have tried the cuban.

A tasty sweet treat near City Center DC…read more I enjoy coming here when my sweet tooth is talking to me lol. I ordered a small cup of banana foster & dark chocolate and during the summer time my favorite is the thai coconut milk & vietnamese cinnamon because it has a sweet & savory taste to it (the best combo ever). I normally get a small cup because the portions are filling especially if you had lunch or dinner beforehand. They also sell pints of gelato, sorbetto, tea, coffee, & seasonal drinks as well. There's seating inside & outside. The store is fairly small, but you're still able to sit with a few friends. The service was quick & you're able to try out the flavors. The staff were very friendly & helpful. Typically there's a long line, but it moves very quickly.

Busy busy busy!! This place was packed on a Saturday night…read more Super hot June night, the gelato was melting by the time you stepped foot out the doors! Having to sit outside due to no available seating indoors made it worse. Gelato was tasty, nothing to get worked up for in my opinion, but maybe the fruity flavors are better! Being a frozen dessert connoisseur, I was a bit let down. Didn't finish due to the soup mess in my cup that was running all over the place & the spoon with 0 ladling power. Didn't feel like I was missing out by tossing the remnants. Come here to spend a pretty penny on some gelato!
