Super cute little coffee place! Stopped in to warm up and got some mint tea, a caramel latte, carrot cake, and a cheese danish. The cake and danish were very tasty. The coffee was good, though not as sweet as we are used to.
Very nice person working in thereand we were excited to like this spot but with only one order ahead of us it took 25 min to get our food. The main complaint is that the wait, it seems good to note that the Avocado Toast was not even toasted. The rest of our order was also generally underwhelming. I don't know if I would do it again even though we hoped to like this place.
We are always on the hunt for Somali owned coffee shops and this is one you have to visit! The best part? This place is absolutely cute. It’s so inviting and the workers were really nice to us. We ordered Somali tea, mango juice, sambusas and treats. Everything was good and many of us agreed it’s probably some of the best Somali beef sambusas that we’ve had. The worst part? It’s an easy place to miss when you’re driving but please visit if you can! Only street parking available that we noticed.
