I went to this cafe restaurant as part of a Meetup with an international group. There were 13 of us and the owner, Jordan, is also the chef so I am impressed with how she was able to serve our group efficiently on her own! Her daughter was the waitress and patient with all of us. I ordered the fish sandwich, that was so delicious! The tilapia fish and potato slices were both warm, the bread was toasted, and the veggies fresh. Portion is generous and price is decent. Was lovely to meet the owner when she introduced herself to our group, and you can tell she works hard living her dream of opening this East African cuisine restaurant.

Diners overwhelmingly call out the signature dish as the must-order. The vibe reads as vegan restaurant — service is consistently described as warm and unhurried. Common gotcha: queues form at peak times — go early or late.

This egg sandwich has to be one of the best I've had. It was fresh and tasty. Bread was soft but with a crispy top... Yummy. The balsamic lemon drizzle she makes from scratch. It is delicious! The sandwich wasn't heavy on the tummy. Cappuccino was delightful. Tried the beef sambusas...crispy and meat well seasoned. The woman was so friendly and cheerful. Definitely recommend trying this place.

Excellent experience... The owner is so nice what a great place. I only tried two items on my first visit. The breakfast sandwich was a nice size and delicious. The cappuccino was so good. You can take out or eat in.
