Addis Paris Cafe - Washington

Like this little Cafe in my neighborhood. A good place to chill or simply grab a bite on your way.

Lovely atmosphere, servers were fine. Too bad the latte was lukewarm, chocolate croissant dry, salad greens dressed with oil and nothing else, and no butter for the bread. Scrambled eggs were decent, but not worth $18 they cost me. Give it a miss.

I hate to give this place 2 stars for atmosphere it's a really lovely community spot, has such a cool vibe, and the owners are incredible. I am rooting in every way for this cafe. However, every single time I come here, I have the same problem I get absolutely swarmed by mosquitoes. They leave the windows in the cafe open, which would normally be awesome. However, the mosquitoes are so bad that I can't even sit comfortably for more than a few minutes. It's bad enough that I need to douse myself in bug spray to stand even a chance of finishing my drink in peace. The mosquito issue could be fixed just by adding a screen to the window and one of those fake magnetic screen door covers you can get for cheap online.The other issue is the prices. $17 for a basic Nutella crepe with some fruit gives me sticker shock. The food is solid, but even a side salad according to the menu is $19. It's out of sync with the neighborhood's general prices, out of sync with the mosquito issue and the ability to enjoy the food, and out of sync with the prices I'd expect to see in a cafe. I haven't had the Ethiopian food, but it seems fairly priced. If there's a good reason these prices are this way like you pay everyone a living wage please advertise this so people know! That would be a huge bonus.I never see many people here, so maybe other folks are having the same issue? Or maybe the mosquitoes just love my sweet sweet blood?I really want them to stay in business but pleasepleaseplease address the mosquito issue

We love this restaurant for both the authentic Ethiopian cuisines, and the delicious brunch menus! The avocado toast, the crepe and everything we tried are super yummy!
