Yellow, a More Casual, Gently Priced Levantine from the Owners of Albi - Wisconsin Ave and Volta Place in the Heart of Georgetown

[Pat]

This is about Yellow, the cafe that is open next door from about 8 until 2. I have been buying their 6 packs of fresh pita for $12 plus tax + fees (sumac and za'atar, I assume, are the toppings). They are extraordinary. The pita come out hot and amazing. I've never been able to make my own pita that come close to this and I'm pretty good with bread.

My timing is such that I get there before their hummus is ready for the day, so we've been having these with hummus from Little Sesame and also the red Fresno chile hummus from Foxtrot in Georgetown.

The people who work here are delightful, helpful, and friendly, but I find the place not all that efficient. I just accommodate for that starting out.

Whatever you do, start with the Sfeeha:

The Sfeeha is also available in the evening at the Georgetown location of Yellow. @MichaelBDC and I went there last month when they were still testing out their (not) pizza concept and had a great meal. Pizza crust was made with their pita dough and the toppings were top notch. We split the sfeeha, an order of Beiruti hummus with an extra pita, and their summer squash pizza.  It was all delicious. Dessert was not necessary, but also very necessary, if you know what I mean. I got a soft serve (baklava + pistachio brown butter) while @MichaelBDC had the Turkish coffee affogato.
