I ordered a brunch set, and I was very satisfied with the sandwich. But I didn't like Cafelatte so much that I wanted to run away. This is a drip coffee cafe. The owner was kind and seemed like an Ethiopian immigrant sister. This place seems like a sandwich place to me. Cafelatte was like a milk 😰

A beautiful cozy bright coffee shop with plenty of coffee and tea options including Ethiopian coffee which a favorite of mine. I had an egg sandwich that was beautifully presented and absolutely delicious. The staff is very kind and friendly. There are fresh flowers in every table. Nice soft music playing in the background. A fireplace which I hope they use during winter. And the outside is beautiful with many butterfly bushes and colorful umbrellas. There are even small gifts to purchase. If you are looking for a place to enjoy a good coffee or tea and a sandwich and unwind and just be or get some work done this is the place

You need to stop by here!! Cute local place with Ethiopian flavors and delicious drinks. With a quiet interior and a gorgeous back patio, this place is a perfect relax cafe. The drinks, food, desserts are all delicious! I got the iced tea, a spiced ice and milk delight all blended together 10/10, the grilled cheese — OMG pesto, tomato, cheese, all on a sourdough bread, and a slice of the apple cake, a soft fluffy, not-too-sweet-but-sweet-enough with a cinnamon crumble topping. Everything is a 10/10. All the workers are so kind and genuinely want you to have the best experience. To top it all off?? Dog friendly! The back patio is a perfect spot for you and your puppy. Definitely coming back
