Adulis Café: A Must-Try Ethiopian Gem in Uptown DC & Silver Spring! I just discovered Adulis Café, and it’s an absolute game-changer for Ethiopian cuisine in the area! Visited today with my best friend, and we were blown away by the abundance of flavors in their vegan platters. Once you start eating, it’s impossible to stop—every bite keeps you coming back for more. We ended up lingering for over an hour, savoring every moment! Highlights: ✨ Perfectly cooked dishes: The lentils, chickpea stew (shiro), collard greens, yellow peas, and cabbage/carrots were flawless—shoutout to the incredibly talented chef! ✨ A vegan/vegetarian dream: As someone who cooks veggie platters often, Adulis is now my top choice for dining out. ✨ Organic coffee & tea: Don’t miss their roasted coffee and variety of teas (my pick: Earl Grey—so aromatic!). If you’re in Uptown DC or Silver Spring, run to Adulis Café! The food is unforgettable, the vibe is welcoming, and the flavors will have you hooked. Can’t wait to go back!

I have been coming here for their House Blend (best roast in Downtown Silver Spring — the flavors are everything) for some time now. I just happened upon it on a long walk once & decided to check it out. Ever since then I ALWAYS look forward to Adulis as a treat (as it’s the furthest walk I do). HOWEVER!!! This Sunday afternoon I came in for lunch with my Dad. We got the Veggie Combo 5 (completely amazing) & the Shiro (a fantastically tasty vegetarian stew). We want to come back & are sooo satisfied that we are planning on getting the exact same dishes (although we really are going to eventually need to branch out). Thanks Adulis Coffee & Roastery!!!

Love this spot! Super cozy and chill — great place to study. Kal was so sweet, and the drink she made me was perfect. Her food recommendation was great too. Now it’s my got place for a good study session and good food.

Love the atmosphere, lots of space to work. The prices of the coffee is reasonably priced and its Ethiopian coffee which I love. They even roast their beans onsite! They have injera too and an Ethiopian breakfast menu. The service is great especially Jordan, was very helpful and accommodating with informing me of my options. Will definitely be back again!

Fantastic service and some of the best coffee in the area. I would definitely recommend the house blend. Music is a mix of jazz and traditional Ethiopian music. And the barista is a great conversationalist. I wish I had more stars to give

Where do I start…this restaurant fired on all cylinders and I walked out with full satisfaction. I shared the awaze tibs and five veggies with two friends. The flavor was off the charts and the presentation of the food was so clean and organized. The spice level was just right. The prices are very fair for the portion of food. The customer service is top-notch and the lady at the counter and in the kitchen will treat you like family. If you’re in the DMV area, you need to come here and bring friends. Will definitely be coming back.

Went in for a coffee fix this morning, and they did not disappoint. The shop itself is very beautiful and I loved their comfy seating. My go to is an iced cafe latte with vanilla and it was so delicious. Gentleman recommended the tiramisu to us which was also wonderful and we took to finish at home. Can’t recommend enough and I will absolutely be back for more!

If you’re looking for authentic Ethiopian coffee, Adulis Coffee & Roastery is the place to be! The quality, flavor, and aroma are unmatched—no more Starbucks for me when I can get the real deal here. The coffee is rich, bold, and brewed to perfection, just like you’d find in Ethiopia. The atmosphere is warm and inviting, and the staff is friendly and knowledgeable about their craft. I highly recommend this coffee shop to anyone who loves high-quality coffee at a great price. Support this gem and don’t forget to leave them a great review!

This is easily the best Ethiopian food in the DMV! The atmosphere feels like home and the people treat you like you are their own family. Was originally my spot for brunch but after trying their Veggie 5 and Awze Tibs, I can confidently say this is a top 5 restaurant here in the DMV. The empty plate says it all.

I brought my family here on a cold Friday morning and left feeling warm and cozy. We ordered the egg and Tibs and it was delicious! We also got a latte and a cappuccino that reminded us of the coffee back home. They roast their own coffee so you can really taste the freshness. Of course, we bought their packaged roasted coffee and I have been telling everyone I know to get it!! It smells so good and is amazing to use for your own fresh coffee at home. The vibes were so comfy and the way the sun was reflecting in the cafe was perfection. Can’t wait to visit again.
