Zed's Cafe

Definitely a hidden gem. Found this café looking for a breakfast spot. The gentleman behind the counter was kind and patient as we figured out what we wanted. I had the smoked salmon sandwich which came with chips and a salad and a latte. The sandwich, salad, and coffee were delicious even if not a typical breakfast combo. Everything we ordered was made to order but the wait time was respectable and gives time to enjoy the eclectic decor. Would absolutely go back again.

Zed's is a hidden gem of Georgia Avenue. From the found furniture feel to the plant-filled back patio, it's a chill place to eat, drink, or merely be. The coffee beans and roasts are high quality, the food is delightful, and the owner is very friendly. Try the quiche, salmon, or baked goods, it's all nice. I lived in the DMV area for 15 years and discovered this place a year before leaving, and it legitimately makes me a little sad to not have had greater opportunity to be at Zed's.

A homey cafe with unique and diverse decorations. Stepping into the cafe for the first time, customers will feel like they're entering the living room of someone well-traveled displaying a collection of their adventures. They also have some books on shelves for people to read and I spotted a number of art books to my delight. They also have art by local artists on display and for sale. They use fresh ingredients for their food and they have a breakfast and lunch menu. They also now serve alchoholic drinks! An instant favorite for creatives, introverts and coffee lovers alike.
