Unique African and African American bookstore near Howard University. The owner is a really nice Ethiopian gentleman.

Hidden gem a stone's throw from Howard: Great, creative selection of vegan and vegetarian friendly options. Killer outdoor seating. Awesome staff. Check it out.

"Just a coffee" is always made to order. They'll make you a delicious americano with freshly ground beans, with/without milk & sugar, and remember your order for next time. Get the spicy sambusas too!
