Crema's Take

This is genuinely exceptional Ethiopian food that eclipses most other Ethiopian spots in the region, with reviewers consistently calling it the best meal they've had—the coffee is a solid bonus, not the main event. The customizable sides, generous portions, and friendly staff make it worth seeking out if you're craving authentic Ethiopian cuisine, though prices skew high for a casual weeknight.

What to expect

Classic coffee drinks done right. Good for meetings spot. Light food on the menu.
