Such a cute and wholesome neighborhood cafe that has some delicious food. The eggs were actually phenomenal and I am truly a sucker for good ethiopian breakfast foods. Coffee waw also pretty solid and the service was great. The folks that work there are very sweet. Perfect spot to catch up or grab a bite!
