My favorite restaurant in the world! My favorite is the Ethiopian breakfast, but everything is good. The Best food you could ask for and they make you feel like part of the family. Can’t recommend this place enough!
The most loving and joyous spot in town. I’ve never had a bad meal or questionable service- everyone is family. The Secret Sauce is life changing and the secret ingredient is love.
I can honestly say that this is one of my favorite breakfast spots anywhere in the country, if not my favorite, in terms of food taste! I ordered the Ethiopian style breakfast, and it was nothing short of just amazing. If you add their secret sauce to it, then it really even enhances the flavor! I have not tried the rest of their menu yet, but this one item is enough for me to rave about this place! The decor is very family-owned like. There may not be a space in the store where you can sit down at a table with another person because the space is tiny. Instead, you can utilize the coffee table with a houndstooth chair, or the window area. The place also tends to get cold when the weather is cold, so if that is the case, dress warm! And buy one or more of their green sauces!
Amazing amazing amazing! Saw this place on Strictly Dumpling on YouTube and we knew we HAD to try it on our trip to DC! The owners are TRULY the best! Incredibly friendly, very attentive and checked on us multiple times to make sure we were doing well. We tried 3 on their Ethiopian breakfast dishes and were blown away by the flavors. The Injura was the star of the show though! The bread/utensil/'food sponge' was delicious and a major part of the experience. Make sure to try plenty of the special green sauce. A short walk from multiple metro stops so very easy to travel to! Will be a stop every time we are in the city!
I know this place doesn't "need" my positive review because everyone knows this place is great, so instead I'm gonna tell you exactly what you should be ordering.I'm not a big breakfast food person. and typically I like to order something different whenever I go to a spot multiple times. but Heat Da Spot is my exception to all of that. I'm waiting for the day when they just see my face and ring me up because I order the same exact thing every time.get the hash brown breakfast sandwich with sausage. the sandwich uses hash browns in place of the bread (!!!). then put the green sauce all on it, because if you don't eat your food with the green sauce, what's the point? and ALSO, you order a blackberry lavender iced tea to go with it. this combo just hits every spot that needs to be hit. go order it and have no regrets (just have several napkins ready).
So friendly, really enjoyed this restaurant! We decided next time we visit DC, we will come here everyday for coffee and breakfast. The service is above and beyond compared to other restaurants. The food is cooked fresh and delicious. Wonderful coffees and smoothies. They have prepackaged treats and fresh fruits, etc., as well. No public restroom when we stopped in, though. We sat inside once on a rainy day, and outside once on a nice day. Both were happy experiences -- I love the furniture inside the café!
As soon you talk to the people working here when you walk in, you know why this place is a gem.I was greeted warmly. When I told her I had rode 2.5 hours on my OneWheel to check out their famous food, she responded by giving me my coffee for free. When I insisted to pay for it, she refused! :) Super classy and genuine people.I asked for a recommendation for my first visit and she told me to try the veggie platter with the beef tibs. I was not disappointed in the least. The platter was incredible, I inhaled the generous portions of lentils, beets, cabbage, spinach, and potatoes in minutes it seemed like. Really the best Ethiopian food I've ever had..Highly recommended.
Saw this highlighted in a news article about the best breakfast places in DC. Took the Metro and had a bit of a walk, was there at opening at 0730. Totally worth it. Everyone there was so sweet, so kind and welcoming. Had the Ethiopian breakfast and coffee--the breakfast is easily enough for two. Will be back every time I'm in town and will be bringing friends and family.

They hype is real! I was staying in the neighborhood for a work weekend trip and was looking for some local eats in my down time. Saw the amazing reviews on this place so I naturally had to try it for myself. Zero let downs! Do yourself the favor and come here. The staff is so friendly, inviting, and hospitable. The atmosphere is homey and a quirky hang out. There’s a great patio, even on colder days like today. I got a cappuccino to drink and the French toast breakfast sandwich with sausage egg and cheese. I’m not usually one who orders French toast for breakfast but something told me I had to try it here. RIGHT CALL. It is so flavorful, a generous size, and the secret sauce…omg…don’t skip it! It’s also great with syrup or even no sauce at all if that’s your thing. Just order it, you won’t be sad about it. Just like I’m sure everything else on the menu is fantastic. I can’t wait until I’m in town again to come back here.
