Warka Coffee is not in the "heart of Capitol Hill," but it does offer up close views of the U.S. Capitol. Opened in August 2025, I popped into Warka Coffee since I love a new coffee shop. Here's my experience. 1) Coffee: I ordered a large latte and it was good. It's darker than I usually enjoy, but it was still tasty.

Warka will always be my favorite coffee shop! Gives such an authentic family feel and the coffee is ethically sourced. The coffee tastes incredible and they have so many unique flavors inspired by Ethiopia. I tried the avocado and the salmon toast and both were amazing. The environment is beautiful with lots of light.

Warka is turning me into a coffee snob! I've never been much of a connoisseur, but drinking Warka's coffee regularly (it's in my work building) has made me appreciate what good coffee tastes like. The owners are really excited to share their extensive knowledge of the craft.
