"Tried out Axum Café in Whitehall today and loved it! I got a dirty chai latte and it was seriously so good — perfect mix of chai spice and espresso. The place has such a cozy vibe, and it’s awesome to see a new locally owned spot in the area. I wasn’t hungry enough to try the food this time, but the menu looked amazing. Definitely coming back soon!"
