Yellow

"Yellow is Chef Michael Rafidi's ode to Levantine cuisine, presented in a fast-casual setting in Georgetown. The menu draws on his Palestinian roots with a fresh twist on Middle Eastern favorites. Chef Rafidi is also behind the Michelin-starred Albi. The bright yellow walls and Mediterranean tile accents make the space feel warm and inviting, perfect for breakfast or lunch. The morning menu includes pastries combining French technique with Levantine ingredients, such as za’atar-spiced croissants and pistachio basbousa (palestinian olive oil cake). Come back after 4pm, and Yellow transforms into (Not) Pizza—a pizzeria with unexpected toppings like soujek, jibneh, and toum. It's mentioned in The New York Times’ list of "22 of the Best Pizzas in America Right Now." Yellow was awarded a Michelin Bib Gourmand, given to places with high-quality food at accessible prices. TIP: get there early—the pastries tend to sell out fast."

"Cafe with Levantine food (middle eastern-ish). French/Middle Eastern style baked goods. Best coffee in town. Creative coffee drinks but also just good baristas for regular espresso drinks. Lunch is great - pita sandos, salads (a bit too small to be a main), shakshuka. Dinner is excellent - pizzas, salad and dips. "
