What a gem. Giant flavors from a tiny space. Lovely legumes. Not oily. Gomen is right from the garden. Teff injera made to order. The woman who runs the joint is a saint. She improves the east side of Sac Street like the Biofuel Oasis improves the west. The world needs more of this!

Loved my experience at kaffa, the meal was really substantive with strong and wonderfully complex flavors. The injera was some of the best I've ever had and was a big fan of the spicy mushroom dish.

We went last night and really enjoyed the food. Food is oil free and legitimately has great flavours. I know the woman running this business is having a hard time with the high rent costs in Oakland, so please come and support this small one woman business! Updated from previous review on 2023-03-04

Simple but very good food. ? Supporting small business!
We come here a lot! The one friendly owner, cook, operator makes you feel like you're in her kitchen. She will do special variations for special diets. It is all vegetarian and healthy. I would love to see her get lots more business.

Homemade food, one woman show. She's a doll and a good cook and the food is yummy. The injera is some of my favorite, and the yellow split peas. Vegan and mostly gluten free. Support her!

Our group of 4 were the only lunch customers today, and I fear that she may not stay open without more business, which has dropped off significantly as the pandemic has eased up. We ordered 4 of the different plates and shared. Everything was very tasty. Items marked spicy are a bit hot, so pay attention if that’s an issue for you. The GF member of our party was delighted by the all-teff, freshly-made injera, which everyone ate a lot of. Others enjoyed the Sambusa (only item not GF), Ethiopian coffee (a tiny cup of smooth, flavorful brew), and the Telba (flax seed smoothie). As someone else said, you might expect a larger portion for the price, but we were fully satisfied. Keep in mind that this is a one-woman operation in an expensive place. This also accounts for the separate lunch. As and dinner hours. She needs a break!
