Used to be great, now they offer mediocre coffee, stale pastry and employees with attitude. Friendly advice: Buy your employees uniform so they don’t wear dirty crop tops where body hair can easily get all over the food.

One of the most unique spots in the city. Love the house-made pistachio milk. A cool vibe with an authentic menu.

matcha is not good, and an employee of the cafe was extremely rude to our group when we were leaving at closing time

Love coming here. I'm a veteran with a service dog. We make it a priority to visit here as it's now become our routine (mine and my pup Rangers). We drive down from Irving and adamen for coffee, a pup cup and Turkish pastries.

The staff are friendly and knowledgeable about their products. "Bee" is one of the managers as are Jazelle and Michael.
Everyone is always happy, respectfully greeting us everytime we visit1. As busy as they are, they really take to heart their jobs, qualitative approach.

Thank you Oromo Cafe friends and staff for your continued welcoming service. As a 40 plus year resident in LS, it's a pleasure to have your establishment in our neighborhood.

Cute Turkish cafe. We had just had ice cream nearby, so I chose to have something simple; a matcha tea. I’m not sure what heating device they use on the other side of the counter, but that was the hottest beverage I’ve had. It took quite a while for the tea to cool to a drinking temperature.

The menu has some unique and interesting items, so I’m looking forward to returning to try some of their special items.

Such a cute little place with the coziest vibes! I love how they decorated the interior. Their staff is the sweetest too! Make sure to try the Turkish coffee here. They also have a great selection of snacks and pastries.

The food is great, and a great alt to the typical pastry line up in a coffee shop, plus the access to Turkish coffee can’t be beat. The vibes alone are immaculate.

A Turkish coffee spot with an extensive Matcha menu. It's very atmospheric, and has a lot of goodies for sale. I'll definitely be returning.

Having been to a number of coffee shops and cafes, I found this to be one of my least favorite. The ambiance and vibe are great, but the coffee was overpriced and not the best, in my opinion.

Overall this is worth a visit for their special coffees. Prices are high, even for the city, especially with all the swaps. Not sure if they wanted to go for a cozy vibe, as lighting is rather dark and dungeon like, when we were there last.

Something that has hold us back from returning, aside from high prices, is the friendliness that seems to have diminished over time. We felt like we disturbed the cashier by ordering a drink, and upon asking for recommendations, the response gave off slight annoyance.

Anyone can have a bad day, though we didn’t feel like it was worth returning yet with a lot of nicer cafe in the area.

The Turkish coffee is great! They have a variety of baked goods, including sweets and savory pastries. Great outdoor patio area.
