Cosy café with Ethiopian lunch options. Bought an Americano and a chocolate croissant and thoroughly enjoyed it in a relaxing atmosphere.

My favorite coffee place in this area. There are several options in this area, but the coffee and pastries are just so much better here. There is always plenty of seating and friendly service. Highly recommend!

Loved the 4 hours that I spent at Hype Cafe today. The Ethiopian espresso drinks were fantastic, and the vegetarian Ethiopian lunch food was delicious. Highly recommend.Oh, and I was able to get hours of work done and online meetings too.

What's the Hype?

You walk in and notice lots of light, tables and counter space. “Why Hype?” you ask. Proprietor Samuel Mengista says, “It’s the name we came up with to express the effect of the coffee.” Mengista and his fiancée Hanna Tesfamicael opened Hype Café to provide a theme which meets the needs of our customers. Our goal is to become known as the best café on the Corner of Capitol Corner!
