The wraps are NOT gluten free, yet they advertise that. So dangerous

Good experience Everytime I stop in for a coffee and breakfast something on the good.

The mini market is great and they carry a brand of soda called Buzz, I think ... It's become my favorite.

The coffee has been consistently good. I'm not a coffee expert, other than having drank it daily for the past 30 years, and I like it.

As for fresh food, I've enjoyed different types of croissants and small filled puff pastries so far and everything has been on point.

Would recommend.

Best spot for bagels and coffee in west philly

Relaxed, calm spot with delicious Ethiopian food, coffee, and a market of spices and other dry goods. The lentil soup is incredible, full of spices and freshness. I tasted my friend's eggplant dish and it was also amazing. The woman running the cafe was so sweet, she explained how to use different spice blends in the market. Can't wait to return to try more from their menu!

Great cafe to sit & work on your laptop. Delicious food, the Alif special coffee is amazing & the only place you can get it in Philly
Unlike normal cafes they also have a hot food bar w/ delicious food choices.
Mecci who works there is extremely hospitable & always hooks up the food for me♥️
Easy to reach w/ the trolly stop literally across the street
Thankful for their hours as a student looking for a place to study Sundays when all the cafes close early they are open everyday till 8pm!!

The food is so good! Consistently my go to Ethiopian food in a neighborhood full of it. I love to get take out and eat it in Clark Park or take it home. They allowed me to bring my own clean containers from home, to reduce trash.

Cute little cafe + small grocery + quick eats. Kinda feels like a bodega in the neighborhood . The space is clean with lots of seats. I saw lots of people with laptop. I only ordered coffee, which is a bit too fruity. Might be back to try more things.

Worst cappuccino. One sip and threw it away :/ disappointing. Low quality

Chicken wraps are mind blowing!!

Their coffee is the best. Also a great little grocery section with Ethiopian and Turkish products and sweets. Very nice people behind the counter too

Parking: You'll have to find a parking space on the street. Save the gas, it's on the Septa #34 trolley line

I love the community vibe here! They have the best savory breakfast and you can also get Milk Jawn ice cream here! The coffee experience is mid, but their chai is AMAZING!
