Crema's Take

“Asmara Cafe is a warmly run neighborhood gem where owner-chef Jordan personally oversees both the coffee and kitchen, crafting everything from exceptional cappuccinos to freshly made breakfast sandwiches with house-made condiments like balsamic lemon drizzle. The space welcomes everyone from solo coffee seekers to large groups and families, creating that rare feeling of sitting in someone's living room rather than a typical cafe. With an authentic Horn of Africa influence woven through the menu—think fava bean dishes alongside stellar egg sandwiches—this is the kind of place where you taste genuine care in every bite and cup.”

What to expect

Specialty coffee. A slow-sit spot, good for meetings. Full breakfast and light food on the menu. Family friendly.

We really enjoyed the food here. I got the egg sandwich and it was exceptional, so well seasoned. My wife got the fava bean dish, which was also so good. Freshly made food with very attentive service. Definitely worth the visit.

Excellent experience... The owner is so nice what a great place. I only tried two items on my first visit. The breakfast sandwich was a nice size and delicious. The cappuccino was so good. You can take out or eat in.

This egg sandwich has to be one of the best I've had. It was fresh and tasty. Bread was soft but with a crispy top... Yummy. The balsamic lemon drizzle she makes from scratch. It is delicious! The sandwich wasn't heavy on the tummy. Cappuccino was delightful. Tried the beef…
