The gluten-free Blueberry Black Seed (Teff) Pancakes are the most delicious breakfast food I've ever tasted. The flavor and texture are incredible. It's a little crunchy / crispy in the best way. Its not the typical mushy pancake. The syrup Is perfect--not overly sweet, but mild and smooth, with just a little bit going a long way. The pancakes are served with Roasted Potatoes and Tofu Scramble, and the flavors were unbelievable. The customer service is top-notch. Berbere...

Absolutely delicious food. Get the Wish Meal and try a little of everything! Beautiful atmosphere and friendly service. Loved it. They were accommodating for our infant and stroller as well.

I can’t say enough good things about this place! The food is absolutely excellent—everything I’ve tried is so flavorful and delicious. The tacos might just be my favorite, but honestly, you can’t go wrong with anything on the menu. I’ve brought my whole family here, and they all love it too! The owner is so sweet, and you can truly taste the love and care she puts into every dish. Highly recommend this gem!
