Dire Coffee

What a welcoming little Ethiopian coffee shop! Once a market, Dire Coffee opened in 2020. Family-owned, Dire Coffee serves Ethiopian coffee beans in all different ways- black coffee, lattes, and more. I ordered the Pumpkin Spice Latte. It came out hot and strong. The woman behind the register, who's the wife of the owner, asked how sweet I wanted my latte. She was very kind! To eat, they have a variety of food. I ordered one sambusa and it was filled with lentils. It hit the spot! The space itself is small, but comes with many places to sit. There's a small parking lot out front.

Had a wonderful time at Dira Cafe today with my friends. Great food, excellent customer service, and a cozy, home-like atmosphere. Best breakfast and brunch spot with delicious coffee and tea. Try it, you won’t regret it!

Such a gem! Cannot recommend this place enough! Got a Iced Caramel Latte and a chocolate muffin and 2 samosas. It was so good! Then saw someone recommend Fetira with honey so I got that and another Latte. Fetira with honey is so good. Reminds me of a Korean sweet pancake. 😭 Atmosphere is also amazing and staff was so nice. They also have an ATM, hookah, ria money transfer available.

I popped in for coffee based on the great reviews, but it’s not the kind of place I would want to sit with a book. More of a quickie fluorescent-lit lunch counter and the air wasn’t fresh. My main complaint is that I spent almost 4 dollars on a tiny cup of black coffee the size of a “short” cup at Starbucks. Also, they don’t have actual American drip coffee so I had to take their espresso style Ethiopian coffee, and it was SO bitter that it actually tastes SOUR. I just wish that when I asked for black coffee The friendly lady would have told me they don’t have American drip coffee. I would’ve gone elsewhere. Not coming back.

Good coffee, quiet and calm space, and very welcoming hosts. And their Fetira (like a crepe) is delicious! Good spot for families with little kids.
