  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.

  Lovely space! Make sure to bring cash, and there is no wi-fi. But the coffee is delicious, food is well-priced and great, and it feels like a home!

  The coffee & tea is nice, I also like the simple setups facing the glass wall to the streets which you have a very good look. The service is really nice. This is my choice of using laptop.

  Super friendly staff. Great vibe. Good coffee. Great local small business! Only small draw back - no wifi.

  Really like this place. I was in the area to see a performance and had some spare time so I decided to walk around a bit and came across this place. Such a lovely surprise. I only had a coffee and pastry which were very good, but it was the ambiance that was so great. I was greatly warmly, not scripted like the chain coffee shops, and the art was so very enjoyable.
