Awesome food, wonderful, friendly service. I had the lentil samosa, mango smoothie, and a vegan sandwich with a delicious pesto. Super yum. I will definitely return. Probably, like tomorrow. ;)

Great coffee and nice shop, good place to get authentic African style coffee

Wing-Mei Ko

Great place to hang out. They have amazing samosas and I wish there were a place closer to where I live where I could grab-n-go a coffee, samosa, and cake all at the same time. I had the Ethiopian coffee, lentil samosas, tiramisu, and chocolate cake. All were excellent and I can't wait for the next time I have the opportunity to visit this cozy cafe in Silver Spring.

Bianca Chaz

Most impolite people I ever faced

Linda Williams

My daughter took me here for breakfast. It was amazing and clean. They have a nice small dining area where you can enjoy your meal without a lot of loud distraction. Keep up the Wonderful Job!!!

Alta J Cannaday

A warm and wonderful respite with some of the best coffee that I have ever had. My favorite is the soy mocha. The Chai is also very interesting and prepared expertly. The decor is simply-stated with art depictions of what I assume reflects the Mankira region of Ethiopia, the birth place of coffee. There are ample seating options and free Wi-Fi. In addition, they serve, delicious pastries, cheesecake, fruit tarts, croissants and cupcakes. Light breakfast sandwiches with vegan options are available all day. The staff are polite, professional and the barristers are excellent. A sweet oasis on the midst of a coffee desert!

James Craig

A nice little coffee shop with fast WiFi and outlets for those that need to plug in. The ambiance is very chill and the baristas are very friendly and helpful. A great place to sit and work or for a casual meetup with friends.

Alex de los Reyes

Small, quiet and quaint. Great coffee and lots of options. Many delicious snacks. Opera cakes were quite good. Great alternative to Starbucks and a wonderful little local business.

Rosina Perthel

Mankira is wonderful! Family owed with delicious Ethiopian coffee!

Closed too early

Matthew Johnson

Best latte I have had in years. This is coffee with authority.

Barbara Thompson

Wow, just came in for coffee, wasn't expecting all the incredible food! Definitely coming back.

Eyoel Tadesse

Great food and great customer service loved it!

Nicole Bozeman

First Ethiopian food experience. Soup/salad on enjera was awesome. Can't wait to try other dishes on the menu.

Heinrich Botes

Legendary Ethiopian Yirgacheffe coffee, slightly spicy samosas and a vegetarian sandwich served at Mankira Coffee quickly moved up high on my list of favorite breakfast meals. The “less-is-more” decor placed the focus on the delicious food and on the friendly, efficient service by the Ethiopian staff rather than on the frills often found in high-end coffee shops. I will certainly be back as soon as possible.

Thibeaux Lincecum

Fresh bread and ful. Beans were too spicy for me, but I'm guessing that's what the dish is supposed to taste like.

Cornel Cornea

Excelent service...the best sandwich home made...the coffee taste superb delicious ...love it

Kathryn Lale

Delicious food and coffee, friendly service, and a pleasant atmosphere. The sweets in the case are pricey but worth the money.

Omar Chavez

Excellent coffee!

Leah Durbak

Great iced tea & deserts! Really nice atmosphere & excellent service.

Henok Yatayeh

I do love this place for real coffee !!

Charlotte Carter

Great food, service atmosphere. They were very accommodating and extremely friendly. The food was delicious and the service was fast.

Arifa Bakth

This coffee shop is just amazing. The food is great, the customer service is amazing. I just called for a pick up and they called me back to make sure my order was correct because I had forgotten to tell them what kind of bread I wanted. That is service right there. I have been in there shop and it is a great place to meet up with friends or quietly have a coffee to do some work. Really outstanding!!

David Mihalcik

Tasty coffee with sambusas and WiFi

Nicolas Durand

Nice place and good coffee, but the Ethiopian Macchiato was a little small (and not particularly interesting).

Gabrielle Crane

Great coffee and fresh made to order breakfast with real food (I watched the eggs being cracked!). Barista was very friendly!

➊ himdian

I always enjoy myself here. Food’s good, ambience is lovely & staff is friendly

Christina Burke

I give them a 5 star because the space is amazing and there is parking easily accessible. I did not try their coffee and their tea is just the Stash brand. other than that I really like the vibe, chill and easy to get work done.

Chris Rudy

Quiet, nicely decorated coffee house. Just opened a few weeks ago. I ordered a breakfast sandwich on an everything bagel and the bagel was huge and with at least two eggs. I don't know that's standard for them but it could be a selling point in the future! It see. S like a relaxing place to come work on my laptop or read and I'm looking forward to doing that soon!

Elshá Aemero

Authentic coffee I can't find anywhere else

Mohamed Toure

Mankira Coffee is a clean and cozy café where you can spend your time getting work done. I began visiting the place 5 months ago and thus far I’ve had a very positive experience. The staff are friendly, prompt, and pay attention to details. Solomon and Makeda in particular will attract you to the coffee shop with their great service and approachable personalities. You will also get to network with many individuals who are entrepreneurs, contractors, consultants, and activists. I recommend Mankira to all my relatives and friends and to anyone passing through Briggs Chaney Road.

Michael D Cook Sr

Loved the atmosphere of this place! A hidden gem! Beats the heck out of $5 bucks! Great music too!

Kevin Blu

I love the coffee here

Brook Zerihun

Best coffee in the area. Try their breakfast as well, they have the best scrambled eggs.

Gerald Christo

Excellent coffee and service. I had a friend tell me it's the best coffee he's had in his life. While that may or may not be an exaggeration, said friend stopped by Mankira everyday when he was visiting us here in Silver Spring. It is also a good place to sit and work. I have often sat for hours with my laptop there. The first time I did that the barista behind the counter came out and helped me connect to their WiFi.

Alex Aparicio

Warm local spot, you cant beat it! No rush no lines for good food and service.

Ryan Kahn

You could go here anytime of day that they are open and you'll get the same great service and great drinks made right everytime

Best Ethiopian makiato ever

Jesse Greer

better than starbucks in every way!! the food is great too- the vegan sandwich on multi grain is my go to. give this place your business!

V F

Everybody got helped before me. The people 5 places behind me were all helped. Then, they started working on the order of 2 women who just entered the cafe. Then, it turned into how they aren’t to blame for the delay. Score: Starbucks 1 Small Business 0.

Andrea Miller

I love this local coffee shop! The sandwiches are fantastic and the coffee is rich and delicious. It's a great place to meet clients. The wi-fi is reliable, too. :)

Mg Reyes

Small & chill atmosphere. Good cake

Jean Felissaint

I had the most delicious tuna sandwich from here yesterday. Their staff were extremely kind and hard working. Nice hidden gem in Briggs Chaney plaza. I will definitely return back to try more of their food and coffee.

Henry Houston

Awesome chill spot. Very quiet atmosphere with very friendly staff. Not a big of a menu but still a solid spot to study read, get work done and enjoy good Ethiopian or American coffee

dulce blogs

Coffee is good, staff is friendly.

Adrian Wong

They have a nice selection of coffee and the service was good. The chai tea is a bit on the sweet side, if that's your cup of tea. The only thing I didn't get was that we were given to-go cups instead of using their in-house cups when dining in.

Mike Black

So nice to order fresh made food in a clean relaxing environment. Thank you. Eggs are soft and fluffy and fresh. I'm coming back to try the rest of the menu.

Haileyesus Adamte

Excellent coffee, pleasant atmosphere with open spaces... feels just good

samuel cole

love there vegan sandwich

Steve Miller

Excellent coffee and a great place to sit and get work done.

Melaku Dinku

Ethiopian Coffee

Chris Kehoe

The coffee was mediocre. I ordered a cortado, and it was not good. Basically an extra foamy cappuccino. The service was rough at best. Our barista wasn't rude but had difficulty understanding our order even though it was straight off the menu with no modifications. The atmosphere was simple and inviting. All in all not a place I would revisit.

Lorraine Mounts

They have the very best Vegan sandwiches I have ever eaten. I can't get enough! So happy to have a healthier menu choice that I enjoy tasting.

LC Jarvis

Enjoyed the Ethiopian and caramel Machioto, very clean and nice staff, plan to visit again.

Joe Schechter

Nice place! Liked it! + Wi-Fi!

audie murphy

They completely got my order wrong. I said “everything bagel” five times on phone and arrived to a sesame bagel.... Good place if you want coffee though

Lydia Gruber

It's awesome! The people are really friendly and the food and drinks are so yummy. Great place to work on the laptop or have a great conversation. It's so nice having it close to home too!

Jeremy Stanton

Move over Starbucks, I've found my new favorite coffee spot. The staff is great and the drinks are fabulous.

Miriam Dixon

Mekides is one of most personable and warmest employees there at Mankira. I come in each weekend and she always has a smile. She works quickly to service each person that walks in and I really appreciate that. Thanks Mankira for being my number #1 go-to cafe in the neighborhood, Silver Spring, and within the DMV area.

Baptista Aniceto M.

Erick Nunez

Very nice.... good espresso and good breakfast!

Joshua Haftel

Excellent coffee (rare find)

Matt Howell

Quick service and quiet tranquil space!

Zach Heider

What a wonderful place. Incredible cakes, great coffee, and really good prices. Their slices of cake are formidable in size, and linger around $3.95. I've been to other places selling slices of similar size and quality for twice that! I heartily recommend paying a visit to Mankira. Bring a book or a friend, and enjoy.

David Greenstein

I come here every time I service my car across the street. If I lived near here, I would come way more often. Excellent coffee, good food, nice people. Great music!

Rebel 47

Great service and food.
