Hype Cafe is from engaged couple Samuel Mengistu, who is from Ethiopia, and Hanna Tesfamikael, who is from Eritrea but grew up in Ethiopia. "I came up with the name," Tesfamikael says. "You drink coffee in order to get energy. You get hyper. Let’s just call it hype."
At their coffee shop in the former Il Capo di Capitol Hill space, the owners will bring traditions from home to D.C., including coffee ceremonies on Saturdays and Sundays.
They make the best coffee in the Capitol Hill area. I specially love the cappuccino.
