Hype Cafe

If you order an iced latte the shop doesn’t make the expresso as normal for a latte, but instead gives you drip coffee with lots of milk.

Great coffee and the food is excellent, too. The foul is particularly good – best I've had in the DC area – and can't wait to go back and try some other items. Just an all around good spot to get a coffee and a bite to eat.

I've ordered lunch here a few times. The Ethiopian food (all vegetarian) is very good. The spicy lentils and chickpeas have nice heat, and it's served with plenty of injera. Seems like a nice place to grab a coffee and hang out for a while.

The lady who works in this cafe....
Not friendly,serious face who wants that look in the morning...no good morning no nothing...heeey say your order right otherwise u get a look.
4 times i been here,i would rather make extra steps next time to another location

Great place for breakfast and coffee. Nice friendly atmosphere.

I was really excited to try this place as a coffee enthusiast, however when I walked in, my partner and I were pretty much ignored. Then as I ordered a macchiato, the older woman began to rudely explain what a macchiato was(as if I were unsure) and then suggested I get a latte instead of what I ordered. I also wanted to order the bacon, egg, and cheese croissant and it was unavailable. The coffee was good, however I was fairly disappointed with the experience and will not be back.

The coffee is great, I liked the place too!

What a nice, cozy place with really wonderful coffee and great local pastries!

So so so delicious. And a value, the 5 dish platter feeds two with plenty of injera left over.

I love the pastries, coffee, new menu (lunch and dinner items), and the feel of the space. The staff is very friendly and truly serve customers. I visit several times a week and often work for hours from the shop, and I've been very pleased with everything (great wifi). This feels like the kind of shop where the owners really care about customers and making it a great experience for them. For what it's worth, I visited when they first opened and didn't love the pastries. But everything I've had since then has been awesome (almond croissant, cinnamon twist, and others).
