Our Story

At Kolfe Coffee, every cup tells a story.

Kolfe Coffee founder

The first story begins in Ethiopia

The birthplace of coffee and the place I proudly call home. Kolfe, the neighborhood where I grew up, inspired the name of this business. In Ethiopian culture, coffee is more than a beverage. It is a symbol of connection, community, and hospitality.

Coffee brings people together during life's most meaningful moments. We gather around coffee to celebrate achievements, welcome guests, strengthen friendships, make peace after disagreements, and support one another during difficult times. It is present in our happiest days and our hardest days. It is how stories are shared, relationships are built, and communities are strengthened.

The second story is my own

When I moved to the United States, I left behind my family, my community, and everything familiar. Like many immigrants, I arrived carrying dreams, determination, and hope for a better future. Building Kolfe Coffee became a way to honor my roots while creating something meaningful in my new home.

Every event we serve, every customer we meet, and every cup we pour becomes part of that journey. Each gathering adds a new chapter to a story that began thousands of miles away and continues to grow with every connection we make.

One day, when I am reunited with my family, especially my children, I will tell them about this journey. I will tell them about the people who believed in me, the communities that welcomed me, the customers who supported my dream, and the moments that helped build Kolfe Coffee from an idea into something real.

"That is why our tagline is Stories in every cup."

When you choose Kolfe Coffee, you're not just serving specialty coffee. You're sharing in a tradition of hospitality, supporting a small business, and becoming part of a story built on culture, community, and connection. More importantly, you're becoming part of a chapter that I will one day share with my children, a story of faith, perseverance, kindness, and the people who helped make a dream come true.

We are honored to be part of your celebrations, meetings, weddings, markets, and special events, and we look forward to creating new stories with you, one cup at a time.

Frequently asked questions

Everything you need to know before booking your event.

How much does coffee catering cost in the DC area?
Pricing depends on guest count, duration, date, and selected add-ons. Use the online booking flow for a live quote — totals update instantly as you adjust guest count, date, and extras. As a guide, events start at $250 for 30–50 guests and scale up from there.
Do you need an electrical outlet at the venue?
Yes. Our espresso equipment requires a standard 20-amp outlet within 50 feet of the setup area. Most venues have this — hotels, event halls, offices, and many outdoor patios. If no outlet is available, we can bring a generator or battery pack (add-on, priced during booking). Just let us know when you book.
How far in advance should I book?
Prime weekends book 3–5 weeks ahead. Book 30+ days out and the system automatically applies the early-bird discount. Use the online booking flow for live pricing and availability, or reach out directly for rush bookings.
Can you match our event branding?
Yes. Medium and Large packages include a custom printed menu sign matched to your colors and logo. We also offer branded cups and sleeves, and a signature drink developed with our head barista.
What areas do you serve?
We serve the entire DC Metro area — Washington DC, Maryland (Bethesda, Silver Spring, Hyattsville, College Park, Rockville), and Northern Virginia (Arlington, Alexandria, Tysons, Reston, Fairfax). We travel up to 100 miles from our Hyattsville, MD base for a flat travel fee.
What is your cancellation policy?
Free cancellation up to 14 days before the event. Within 14 days, 50% of the deposit is retained. Within 72 hours, the booking is non-refundable but the full value applies toward a rescheduled date within 60 days.

Your morning, poured to order.

A quote takes 60 seconds. We'll hold your date for 24 hours while you decide.
