Time Café

I visit Tim’s Cafe and Market Ethiopia Cafe once or twice a week because it is close to my house, usually just to pick up a few items. Unfortunately, my experience with one of the waiters has been consistently negative. When customers sit down to eat, he is polite because he expects tips. But when I only buy items to go, his attitude changes. He acts rude, breathes heavily as if he is annoyed, and behaves like he is doing me a favor. When I ask simple questionssuch as for a bag or how to pay he responds with frustration and impatience. This has happened many times, not just once or twice. I was there again yesterday and experienced the same behavior. I mentioned this during a family gathering, and several family members said they know exactly who I’m talking about and have stopped going to

"Best restaurant ever! The food was incredible and the customer service was top-notch - our server was attentive, friendly, and made our dining experience truly unforgettable!"

I ordered Derek Tibs to go and it cost me about $18. This is by far the worst Derek Tibs in Virginia. The onions and peppers were completely burnt as you can see and it was hard to eat. I would have returned it had I known but I opened the box after 40 minutes driving home unfortunately. The server also told me they didn't have some of the other Tibs I wanted on the menu like the Chikina.

Time cafe’s staff were really friendly to first timer and they thoroughly explained the menu and made some really great recommendations! Really impressed with their vegetable combo this is definitely a must-try!

My "go-to" place for Ethiopian coffee and fresh/warm Injera for my son. The staff are very nice and welcoming. The lentil sambusas are delicious 😋
