What People Are Saying
from Google"Such amazing flavor!! This is my new spot to get shahan ful (foule) and Ethiopian coffee. The artfully done decorations and jazz playing lightly from speakers set high above create a great atmosphere to AHHHhhh. I'll be back."
"I got the vegetarian combo and ginger coffee to go, and both were delicious! The portion size was generous, the food tasted very fresh, and the service was excellent. I'm already looking forward to returning."
"Beautiful food at a fantastic price! If you’re a coffee aficionado this is a great place to try traditionally prepared Ethiopian coffee (rich, smooth, SO good!)"
"New favorite coffee shop in Oakland Love the “elielieli” sign and the “Oakland” signs written in Amharic. Love the coffee, the colors, the music, the hospitality. It’s right off 12th St BART, easy to get some good coffee and relax."
"I have been here a number of times and every visit just gets better and better. Their coffee is the best you can find in the area. Their lunch specials are all amazing, especially the beef with injera. It's the perfect amount of food for a great price, and the staff is so friendly."
