Guzo Cafe
800 S 12th St, Philadelphia, PA
Crema's Take
“Guzo Cafe is a warmly atmospheric South Philadelphia gem that weaves Ethiopian and Eritrean culinary traditions into their coffee and tea program, from house-made iced Ethiopian tea to expertly crafted matcha alongside vibrant vegetarian dishes and fresh pastries. The space radiates authentic charm with local art adorning the walls and a genuinely inviting vibe that makes it perfect for lingering conversations or solo work, while their willingness to experiment with off-menu offerings like samosas shows a kitchen that genuinely cares about delighting regulars.”
What to expect
Strong matcha and tea selection. A slow-sit spot, good for meetings. Pastries and light food on the menu. Family friendly.

Ethiopian and Eritrean food in south Philly! Found through 2good2go, so excited to try it all. Started with a classic vegan platter with delicious tangy injera and iced tea. Local art and lovely vibes available in a cute Parkside cafe!
Cute coffeeshop with reasonable prices and very tasty food. It was a pleasant surprise to discover this place and eat Ethiopian food as a light lunch. The waitress is learning which requires some patience but overall very nice space and food and coffee!
