The taste ofAsmara, every day
A light, green-walled neighborhood cafe and Eritrean deli. Hand-rolled injera, deep spiced stews, and coffee poured the old way — all day, every day.

Bun ceremony
Coffee is not a drink.It is an invitation.
Green beans roasted over coals, ground by hand, brewed in the jebena and poured in three rounds — abol, tona, baraka. Pull up a stool, the first cup is on us when you stay for all three.

What guests are saying
The sandwiches were ABSOLUTELY some of the best I ever had, and the dessert was just as great. I wish I had gone there sooner.
