Adulis Coffee & Roastery – A South Silver Spring Gem

As we lean into Maryland’s Coffee Capital reputation, a title recognized by MOCO Show, we want to highlight South Silver Spring—a bustling residential and retail district that combines urban living with walkable streets and a thriving local business scene. Sitting right on the DC line, South Silver Spring is a neighborhood full of energy, where community and commerce come together. With its own unique location, perspective, and vibe, it offers a distinct blend of urban accessibility and neighborhood charm.

At the heart of this dynamic area is Adulis Coffee & Roastery, a locally owned café that reflects the culture of South Silver Spring. Known for its authentic Ethiopian coffee, a full-service menu, and newly introduced coffee-infused cocktails.
