Hype Cafe

Black owned coffee shop with food and pastries that takes their coffee seriously but treat you graciously. They roast their own coffee and are part of a great culture of Ethiopian mom and pop coffee shops in the DMV region.

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

Really enjoyed the coffee. The employee was very nice. Cant wait to bring some of my coworkers here in the morning

The coffee is great, I liked the place too!

Hype Cafe is one of my favorite pandemic takeout joints. The food is amazing, the portions are generous, and the prices are low. The restaurant has good social distancing practices.

Lives up to the hype! Good food and drinks and great service. #blackownedbusiness #blackownedindc #dcliving

It was fine. Decent iced coffee. The pastry was fine. The decor is best described as industrial-chic without the chic, more like an absence of intentional decor than a purposeful aesthetic.

Came during quarantine so didn't get a full experience but still a cute place with good coffee :

Such a chill place. The owners are so sweet and hospitable. I would definitely recommend this spot for studying, meetings, and relaxing.
