Crema's Take

Lucy Ethiopian Coffee is a hidden gem that honors tradition with every pour, serving authentic Ethiopian coffee ceremonies in beautiful handcrafted cups alongside perfectly paired snacks like salty-sweet popcorn. Beyond the ceremonial experience, their espresso and pour overs are exceptional, complemented by delicious house-made pastries like fetira with honey that keep customers coming back. It's the kind of place where you'll linger over your cup in genuine community, whether you're catching up with friends or discovering why dark coffee lovers are converting to their cause.

Delightful little hidden gem! Very traditional Ethiopian coffee served in beautiful little cups from a lovely pot. Our coffees were served along with a side of popcorn (salty and a tiny bit sweet) and a lovely warm incense to round out the experience. Great place for a late morning coffee pick me up!

I didn't give 5 starts on food because we only had the fetira with honey, but the menu looked yummy. I called ahead and took a large group to do the Ethiopian coffee ceremony. A lovely young woman with a beautiful smile in traditional dress roasted the coffee beans in front of us, brought it around for us to smell, and then ground and brewed it for us, in three consecutive rounds. There isn't a lot of explanation, and between rounds you can chat and move around. The menu looked wonderful, but we only had the fetira (tortilla) and honey. A slightly sweetened popcorn and (ginger or turmeric?) cookies are served with the coffee. The service was so attentive and we all really enjoyed it. Don't do the ceremony if you are in a hurry. The first cup is strong but with cream and sugar it was sooooo nice. The second and third cups get progressively milder. We highly recommend the ceremony for coffee lovers and for a wonderful Ethiopian experience!

Lovely spot for coffee and breakfast! The coffee and chai are amazing, and the food is SO GOOD!! I loved the fetira with honey, and will definitely be back to try the rest of the menu. They have smoothies, juice, french toast, and pastries as well. They offer a coffee ceremony for traditional Ethiopian coffee as well!

This is an authentic and wonderful coffee experience. This has to be best cup of coffee I have ever had and I am usually not one to enjoy dark coffee. I did the coffee experience with five other colleagues and I enjoyed learning about the culture behind the cup of coffee. The owner is so kind and so accommodating. There is no doubt that I will be coming back (with more friends)! This place is a must for anyone who loves coffee and community.
