Superb vegan sampler! My husband and I stopped here on our road trip. We’re both vegan and have had Ethiopian food a couple other times, including once in Africa. The food here did not disappoint! Lovely service and the ginger tea as well.

Have you ever walked into a place and been hit with smells and smiles that make you feel like you’re home? Well, that’s First Cup. As soon as you walk in, you’re greeted by the smells of berbere (Ethiopian pepper) and roasted coffee beans, and a friendly smile from whichever family member is at the register that day. The food is good and warm, like a hug from your grandmother. And the tables and bathrooms are clean. Everybody come to First Cup and experience the best that...

We always come here because the food is delicious. We usually get the variety plate that comes with veggies and meat. So good! I also got the ginger hot tea, so simple but so tasty! Fair price, service is great and the place is very cozy.
