    Have come here a few times. I always order the egg with onion bagel. It was delicious...crispy but not dry bagel with steaming hot scrambled egg. Hit the spot. Will come back again.

    I had a bagel and my dad had a veggie omelette. The bagel was just egg and cheese, but it really hit the spot. The egg was the perfect texture. The veggie omelette was made really well, they don't skimp on anything. I had a café latte as well, it was exactly what I wanted, nothing indulgent just good hot coffee. I'm told the coconut soda is not bad either. This isn't a quick spot, but the food is worth the wait (about 10-15 mins depending on your order). If you're seated the food is brought to your table. My family asked a lot of questions, but the cook/waitress handled it nicely.

    I absolutely adore this place and the food the Ethiopian nice lady cooks. You can hang out in here for work or meet with friends, the ambient is always very welcoming. Another plus is that it's across the street from Lake Merritt. Great coffee and amazing sandwiches- please try the chicken pesto sandwich. It will probably be the best chicken pesto sandwich you've ever had.
