Kefa Cafe

The best coffee shop in all of DMV. If you're looking to try something different and away from the conventional service of the big chains and those who are chasing the big chains, hit up Kefa Cafe. You won't regret it. Nothing about Kefa is conventional or boring. Go in, order a coffee, grab a Biscotti, and chill. Kefa is definitely a GEM. The service is neither fake, nor is it overly done. The service is un-apologetically genuine and sincere and you can feel the magic the moment you walk in. I love this place with all my heart and I wish nothing but the best in their business. Thank you for taking care of me on my two years in Maryland. Definitely some of my favorite memories were from Kefa Cafe.

Been working practically across the street for a year and half and I just now went. Coffee is fantastic. Best coffee I've had in Silver Spring by far. Friendly and helpful staff. Will definitely be back!

Hidden gem in Silver Sping with the best Cappuccino in the DMV! Friendly staff who clearly values the relationships with their customers. They let us sample the Injera Crisps which will be a go-to snack. 5 stars.

This is a very warm and
inviting space with a very pleasant proprietor. Coming back with friends.

Amazing place Lenny and Abeba are great people who own the place, and tbey know their customers extremely well making it feel like home. Service and coffee is extremely good, beans coming from a local roastery (nagadi) and their coffee mug collection is impressive.

Kefa is always warm and welcoming. I bought a chai latte which was, and always is, phenomenal. They have a sister location at the Silver Spring library which is also worth a visit.

I love their breakfast sandwich and their chicken salad sandwich. The people who work there are really nice as well! Definitely recommend

I searched for A good coffee ☕ experince in the area and found this place. I'm Ethiopian so I know a good coffee and this place is the only place that has it from all the coffee palaces in the entire DMV area. I love the service too.
I will Definetly visit more.

Hands down, the best coffee, service, atmosphere and biscotti in the entire DMV. This is one of the very few places I miss in Maryland, DC and Virginia. The two girls here are so sweet.

Superb retreat in the very heart of downtown Silver Spring, Maryland. Located at one end (sort of) of Bonifant "Something For Everyone" Street, the Kêfa Café - the "ê" is short - serves Ethiopian coffee that is the best coffee in this quadrant of the galaxy.

And it's a really big galaxy, buckaroo.

Operated by one of two sisters, "Flower" by name, the smallish two room cafe has a dedicated, occasionally fanatic, following that is as genuine as it is rare. Flower absolutely refuses to offer WiFi on the grounds that w/o it, people (strangers) will talk to each other. And the place buzzes with conversation.

Except when it doesn’t which, in general, means a herd of writer/student/book reading "types" have landed, plugged in their hardware, and are enthralled by the latest Top 10, Or TOP 5 in YouTube.

Or homework. (Which by-the-way the place is not far from a small 2 year college.)

The place serves food - not too fancy, not too plain - at reasonable prices.

So drop in and tell Flower D. Sent ya. You'll be glad ya did.
