This is hands-down the best café I’ve been to! The Mediterranean and Habesha dishes are incredible fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. You can truly taste the authenticity and love in every bite. From the hummus and KABOB platters to the injera and spicy stews, everything was cooked to perfection.

The service is over the top warm, welcoming, and attentive. The staff treats you like family, making the whole experience feel special from start to finish. The atmosphere is cozy yet vibrant, perfect for relaxing or catching up with friends.

If you’re looking for a place that blends amazing food, great vibes, and genuine hospitality, Ayu’s café is a must-visit! 🌿☕️🍴

Super cute cafe. I had the chicken shawarma with fries. My friend gets the chicken pita and swears by it. Kibbeh was less impressive. Very dry and not what I’m used to having from other Mediterranean restaurants. Not gonna hold it against them tho. The shawarma was great.

This restaurant is a hidden gem! Wonderful food! Just the right amount of food that isn’t too salty and seasoned just right. If we lived closer we would eat here everyday. Give it a try! Thank you for the great food!
