Service - 5/5, Semy is the sweetestAmbiance - 5/5Food - 5/5A unique cafe with a mix of habesha and German dishes.Aschi special -- Had it on an everything bagel I love boiled eggs and salmon so this was perfect for me. Avocado Brots -- Nice German bread topped with avo, arugula and balsamic vinegarAll around a great cafe with strong culture.

I am in love with this place! I actually found them on DoorDash and had to come on here to write a review because places like these are GEMS. Fresh, bright ingredients with high quality and affordable prices. That is a rarity in this day & age. Can't wait to try more of the menu. They were kind enough to add tuna at no charge due to the ongoing egg shortage + leave a sweet note with my order. Their chickpea brot was so good too!

I'm moment Kaffee is now serving dinner on some weekends. Check their IG before heading out. Dinner and wine pairing- we decided to try it all (the beef alicha, chicken ribs and vegan combo) and it made my taste buds sing praises. The meats were tender and fresh, the spices marry well with all the ingredients. If you love Eritrean food or never had it then this is the spot for you. The owner was so kind to modify one/two dishes for our vegan gluten-free companion and it did not disappoint. I loved it as well. The menu is seasonal so come with an empty stomach and an open mind. speaking of open minds- peeped that recent 1-star review- I mean it's dinner time; would you go to a restaurant and demand Wifi? entitled much? there's a certain ambiance and decorum that I believe is specific to day/evening dining. As for the owner, she's a total gem, a neighborhood revivalist- there's never a time when she was not anything but nice and welcoming, busy yes but never ever rude. I mean - looking at all the reviews, from credible Elite yelpers- it's unanimous it's a 5-star spot highlighting the welcoming -"sweet", "kind" "personable" service.

I believe that if an establishment can't make something of the most basic quality, it shouldn't be on the menu. We came here based on positive reviews but this was truly a disappointing experience.Their matcha latte was genuinely the worst I've ever had. It tasted like a cup of warm whole milk with green food coloring--there was no discernible matcha flavor at all. It was so awful that I couldn't even finish the small cup. In an attempt not to waste it, I added cereal to it, hoping the cereal's flavor would improve the taste. Unfortunately, even the cereal couldn't save this abomination of a drink.This experience was so disappointing that it prompted me to start making matcha lattes at home, and anything I make is far better than what I had here. If you can't even make a basic matcha latte, it shouldn't be on the menu.Service was also not great or welcoming. I walked up to the counter, looked around for the menu and the lady just pointed to the menu by the door without saying a word. I won't be returning here again.TL;DR to customers: avoid the matcha latte and to the establishment: please take the matcha latte off the menu!

Person/owner who took the order is real b**tch. Wouldn't let customers sit with laptops indoor/ outdoor!Literally kicked us out after giving the coffee; didn't share WiFi password. Owner of the business used scathing language on us, threatened us to remove the Yelp review as well.Needed to get something important done on my notebook. Couldn't get it done! Left utterly disappointed and frustrated. Felt like we weren't fairly treated as customers!

The owner here is so sweet! Came here for the second time and the owner remembered us. We were having a hard time deciding what to get so she offered us a 3rd dish on her so we could try more. I love the fatah with tuna the most, a lovely bread cooked in Eritrean spices with tuna on top. The habesha foul was also super delicious and well spiced. The chicken tibs sandwich is a special and was great. Really can't go wrong here. Definitely returning!

Ohhhh, I got lucky and stumbled upon this Cafe. This Eritrean Vegan Combo Plate was Fire!!! It was very flavorful with blends of opposite textures, and you know what I loved about it even more!?!?! It wasn't too oily!!! I gotta come back for the chicken nibs... This joint will give any Old School Oakland Eritrean establishments a run for its money. They might have to add a Doro Wot on their menu, if you know what I'm saying... Staff was so cool, down to earth and accommodating. I loved the layout too.

WARNING: if you are coming here to study/work this is NOT the place for you. after spending $22 on avocado toast and a dirty chai i get informed that there is a no laptop policy.... i never would have come here and spent this much on food and a drink if i knew i couldn't study like i had planned to

I really love this place! I ordered a latte and one of their pretzel sandwiches. Both the latte and pretzel sandwich were delicious. The pretzel sandwich was simple while still flavorful. The ambience is great! It's a space that encourages people to slow down and enjoy (I.e., take the extra 10-15 minutes to sit down and enjoy if you can). In fact, we felt inspired to do so after initially ordering to go and we decided to just sit down and enjoy because why not?
