Heat Da Spot Café

We all thoroughly enjoyed this restaurant!! The staff was so friendly and and hospitable. I really appreciated the pictures of food with prices that were printed on the walls by the register. It is a cozy place. Outside seating is available with sanitizer and bug spray! on the tables. Indoor seating is limited with lovely seating options. Takeout is available as well.

Sitting outside was very relaxing. The food arrived quickly and hot. It was very flavorful and tasty and the portions were great! I was surprised to have a nice portion of bacon!! I wasn't sure about the light sprinkling of cayenne on my plate as I don't like spice, but it accented the taste of the food well, and cayenne is good for you! I would definitely return.

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!

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!

I loved this cozy intimate cafe. Its location makes it accessible by all ways of travel, there is outside and inside seating but ate inside since it was a snowy day. This black family owned business makes sure you are well taken care of no matter what and they always serving with a smile. I had the tips with cabbage, the sausage egg and cheese, and the dipping platter that had spinach, beets, and chick peas. Everything I ate I could taste the love it was made with. It also came out pretty fast as well for those of you who may be a bit of a rush. If you are on Georgia Ave. and need a place to eat. This should be your first stop. I left full and happy. Thanks Heat Da Spot Cafe.
