Because we love coffee

About Us

Coffee has become a commodity. On every corner is yet another coffee shop, selling yet
another sugary flavored something. We want to bring you an authentic experience of how
coffee should be enjoyed. Our coffee beans are sourced from various regions in the
Ethiopian highlands.

For a cup inviting chocolate, smokey and dry wine flavors, try our
beans sourced from the eastern region of Harar.

For a more sweet, floral and citrus cup, try our beans sourced from the south central region of Ethiopia, Yirgacheffe.

However, we hope we can bring you not just our coffee, but what it represents. Culture, history and community, our mission is to bring these elements of the Ethiopian coffee tradition to
14th street and to share with the diverse communities in the Columbia Heights neighborhood.
Take a seat, have a drink, make a friend because with Rue, we hope to bring the focus
back to coffee and community.
